RE: Let's use STEEM and consume it, in our new Steemit SHOP!
The owners of the platform,the centralised website, is Steemit,inc. This is a plain fact. Please try to explain how it is not. Any services that are offered that sells advantages on Steemit,are bying this from Steemit,inc. How could it be otherwise? I know it is open source,but legally speaking,you own the website, you own the services offered that are part of the code for the website. Right? Or do you know something that I don´t?
Please understand that I´m a strong supporter of Steemit,and want it to grow as a community. And I want it to be inclusive and democratic. Selling self promotion,which most people can´t afford,would be completely unininclusive and undemocratic,with all due respect.
You are referring to Steemit itself, the domain name and website.
I am referring to steem, the open source blockchain, that anyone can utilize, that is decentralized. It is the blockchain that could sell these items in the blockchain shop.
This is getting a little away from the topic at hand. The point is "all holders" of steem (the currency) or "steem power" (the vested balance owed to you) benefit from the online shop idea if we burn steem out of circulation. Simply because the value of steem will increase, as the token becomes a lot more rare.
Steem actually becomes less rare by powering down,as SP is not steem.
I wholeheartedly support the idea of a marketplace,I just make the simple point that the users could sell their goods and services instead.
How does the blockchain receive a payment for a product?
i´m just a newbie when it comes to crypto stuff,but it seems to me that buyers and sellers can only be persons or legal entities,and that the blockchain is not a legal entity? Please explain your idea in more detail.
