I think this is awesome. We need to continue to grow the Steemit userbase to make this even more possible. Right now a relatively small percentage of the world is into crypto, and an even smaller percentage into Steemit. I doubt anyone from outside Steemit would go out of their way to acquire Bitcoin to then acquire Steem, but for people who have it it makes a super easy and safer transaction.

I had thought about setting up a shop that only accepted Steemit or at the very least encouraged its use. Ultimatley didn't move forward because I couldn't find a good way to integrate it into a website short of having to manually have communicate my address to people and also questioned whehter the Steemit community was big enough to support a shop of this nature
