RE: Announcement: STEEMBAY is working NOW.
Wow... this is about the greatest news EVER!
Not just because it's awesome to have an internal peer-to-peer marketplace, but because of what that could MEAN for Steemit, in a larger sense: What this does is to create an "economic reason" for the Steem token to exist... above and beyond just the social content platform.
Phrased differently, Steem just went from being primarily an "asset class" to being a bonafide "currency."
Why do I find this so exciting? "Differentiation." As myriads more ICOs come to pass, it's inevitable that we are moving towards a place where a bunch of "shitcoins" are going to get their wakeup calls... and dramatically dump value. Having an actual Steem based economy now gives us an edge over all of them-- from a pure INVESTOR standpoint. A true "reason for being." And how cool is THAT?
Resteemed, and many thumbs up!
(And yes, I'm a 20-year eBay veteran and user....)
Thank you so much. This is probably the most moving comment I read so far.
You are speaking from my heart so to say...

Amazing! That's a good idea. Can market valuable things that are just set aside and not in use. Thanks
I wish you a lot of success
