I agree on this post (except for the meme, come see us at entrypoint saturday 1 UTC we will have a meme workshop to help people make much much better memes), perhaps you should have also confronted the centrality of SSC (hive engine) and how people still think its going to be decentralized (it isn't), when it comes to people who can affect the price in a big way, centrality plays a big role in how they see their potential investment.

I think you would agree with me that we'd be better off opening the internal (bitshares style) market of steem to simply allow more currencies, there's already working RPC and GUI in place for it, and it would be layer-1, decentralized and have a fast track to being allowed by exchanges and governments.

If you want to see what that looks like, you just have to trade HBD for HIVE, you'll see the marketplace, this can be very easily made to allow further currencies, graphene was designed this way.

What's your thoughts on opening hive's restrictions on currencies to accept more than just HBD as an additional token?
