Every location that has plugged in shapeshift you can use steem to purchase at. How do you imagine that the only thing you can do is sell steem? You need to do more research before you continue complaining.
If somebody uses Shapeshift or similar service, value exits the Steem ecosystem. Basically they are just selling steem.
What I want to see is steem staying in the ecosystem. I want to see services that people want to use that accept steem and then don't sell that steem for other currencies.
A marketplace is one great way to mitigate this problem. Another way would be to implement more paid services to the blockchain, something like "promoted posts" we have now.
Price of steem consists of supply and demand. Currently there is lots of supply (as we can see from the stats), because there are lots of users who want to sell their steems. But there is very little demand, because there is not much you can use steem for. You can buy SP to improve your voting power, and you can promote your posts, but that's about it. All the rest is just investing/speculating.
Ah understood. Well I will work for steem....sooo dunno if thats along the lines you are talking about? :P
