RE: Block Deals - A new way to earn with Steem (Meet the Team)
Can you please talk about this project? Is Block Deals aiming to be like Bittrex? Is it aiming to be a cryptocurrency exchange application build on top of the STEEM blockchain like other applications are connected to Steem, like http://d.tube for example and also http://steemit.com and also http://busy.org or what is Block Deals? Thank. Thanks for sharing, hehe. I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold. You can call me Joey.
Hi Joey,
Blockdeals, is a whole separate site. The idea is people will find bargains around the web and post them onto the site for others to buy. Much like ozbargin.com.au. However, now with Steem users can be rewarded for finding good deals!
We wanted to show that the Steem blockchain can be used for lots of applications and not just for socail media :)
Is it competing with Ebay and Amazon and Alababa?
Not at all. It's competing with the likes of slickdeals.net and ozbargains.com.au.
Block Deals is a site for listing great deals that you encounter throughout your day rather than for selling products directly. The difference with our site is that our users are actually rewarded for submitting their deals unlike the competitors. :)
Block Deals sounds to be more general, but could also maybe include great deals that they were also selling as well instead of just deals they encounter.
Hey look, it's @joeyarnoldvn's FIRST non-spam post! Let's all give him a round of applause!
