While encouraged with the thought of merchants adopting Steem, we may still be far away from the ramp up as currently the amount of Steem is either powered up or on exchanges to trade. If we can change the mentality of users, theb it would be a great possibility. When we participated and won the Netcoins listing, I thought we would begin to see this approach as the platform provided access to over 100,000 merchants worldwide; but that has yet to be seen. It is unfortunate as I believe that this could provide a gateway for developers to use their stake to pay for goods and services as part of their Steem project developments.
