I love that it is international and you can e your steem or sbd or bartering to acquire goods and that you can get to know the vendors at Homesteaders Coop for they are all on Steem! I'm trying to get a local community I'm involved with for Artists and musicians, to set up a sister coop which @ sagescrub (the founder of Homesteaders Coop) said he would gladly help out with. He is into helping other communities, that include others than homesteaders, set up coops modelled after what he has done.
