Decentralized markets
Is stable cryptocurrency the key for the boom?
The number of decentralized P2P markets, both active and in development is rising and the best known OpenBazaar has after the first month of it´s existence more listings and users every day.
See this graph: https://bazaarbay.org/stats/month
It looks good, but most probably still only cryptofans are involved. Just read comments on Twitter.
IMO for usual users of eBay and other smaller local or country specific centralized services it is necessary to use an unit almost exactly equal to USD, EUR, CNY with an easy understandable name.
STABLE CRYPTOCURRENCY
Such kind of currency exists in BitShares https://bitshares.org/technology/price-stable-cryptocurrencies/
and is well tested with enough long history and different type exchanges, bridges and gateways:
CCEDK https://www.ccedk.com/en with EUR, USD, DKK MARKET
BTER https://bter.com with CNY, USD market
POLONIEX https://poloniex.com crypto only
Embedded directly in BitShares light wallet https://bitshares.org/download/ which is available for Mac, Windows and Linux are:
