RE: Curation Won't Grow STEEM Like Commerce Will
Hey, @cryptocopy.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We're pretty much aligned as far as our thought processes go. :)
There are definitely some non-social media stuff happening here, and I think that's good. Diversification in the kinds of things one can spend their time here doing is helpful. There's been attempts at stores and other things that have not quite made it off the ground, and that's too bad because those are fairly low level entry points and some of the first things that internet 1.0 was able to incorporate.
So, we are definitely starting to see some things.
And I really like the idea of some kind of mechanism for converting STEEM into any fiat and cryptocurrency automatically. I like the idea of the vice versa even better. :)
I've seen some of the stores you've mentioned. It's really too bad they haven't caught on, yet. It could be a great way to help people in the blockchain build a thriving business using STEEM. I mean, imagine if SteemGigs or another similar website/service got mainstream recognition. Right now, though, most products or services being sold using STEEM are just for blockchain-related projects, which is still a pretty small space.
And yeah, it would be nice to be able to exchange fiat for STEEM without jumping through too many hoops, every time.
