Some people suggested things like bootstrapping an economy around Steem Dollars or buying them back with Ad revenue.

Does my Blockchain "Shop" idea count as "bootstrapping an economy?"

Keep in mind, I had a plan to burn 1.25 million STEEM, just by allowing users to pick an avatar. That's not finding a buyer. That's creating a value add service that the blockchain sells, and since the blockchain doesn't need to buy groceries, it burns the steem again.

Dan, please try and read it if you haven't.
