VERY cool to see Steem Dollars being used in regular stores with the use of that Bitpay Visa card! @blocktrades just added Monero by the way so hopefully that will help to also make anonymous transactions, and of course it is obvious that now it has never been easier to use your steem dollars or steem to buy things on the Darknet Markets, which is just interesting to point out and I wonder if that will drive any sort of activity on steem

Since steem posts are immutable it may end up becoming a host for darknet market posts that can use custom tor front ends, encrypted with memo keys, they woukldnt care if they got flagged but most likely the posts wouldnt get flagged but would be encrypted and private.

Anyway the world of non black market should also be priority on steem and we will also see Monero being used for legitimate purposes for simply staying anonymous and safe. I commend Blocktrades for their decision to add this wonderful new technology and am very happy to see this technological progress

Now with the new steemitblog update, we may even see Appbase and then Communities rolled out soon!
