RE: Token Utility and How to Create a Successful Economy | LEO as a Medium of Exchange

in #steemleo5 years ago

A marketplace is the ideal sink for tribes. Imagine a homesteading tribe offering their creations out for people to buy, things such as soap, candles, and canned goods.

This is how I envision things unfolding as the new internet rolls out. I wrote a post a few weeks back (or maybe it was a video, I cant recall) that talking about Amazon being cooked. This sounds crazy until one thinks "what if each tribe I was active in had a marketplace that allowed me to purchase goods and services using their token? Thus, a large part of one's regular purchasing would be done on decentralized blockchains using currency earned by doing whatever the tribe does.

That is the key.

I think Steemit should have added a marketplace the first year. That would have set the stage for a much different path. Oh well, it is what it is.

Glad to see you are going to add one.

Sort:  

I have read other comments in the past stating that Steemit missed a serious trick not developing a marketplace. Hopefully LEO and other tokens can lead the way.

Yes it is not a novel idea.

They did drop the ball when there were over two hundred thousand active.

Oh well...time to start now.
