The old milkbar was the power house of local communities everything from your bread and milk to the post office and newsagents where used by the locals. Farmer's would sell their produce and the butcher would sell their meats.
Time changes where mega stores swallow up the mum and dads business and in many places the not one is seen.
So what can steemit do in our local economy to bring back a share of fairness to the last remaining mom and dad stores.
Steemit is not just a social media platform it real power is the steem dollar and is a real store of value, Other crypto-currency can be valued 30% more in 10 minutes or values 30% less in ten minute. But the steem dollar is unique it remains stable at a USD one dollar.
What does this mean to the local milk bar? It is a question can your local milk bar return to the glory day's as a local digital exchange. Could we be all paying for our milkshakes in steem dollars. Could the local milkbar become once more the teenager hangout just like the golden days instead of our children pumping their veins full of sugar and fat at the MacDonald's after school.
What would this mean to digital currency if they could be bought and sold locally, What mass adoption and usage be driven past the trading mechanics that exist today.. could the local economy be extended to local services, could you get your lawn mowed using steemit. could then the person whom earned the steem dollar later be seen buying his lunch for his family.
This very possible and very easy to setup with no additional equipment by using the blockpay software at zero cost to the retailer.. by downloading a google app on the play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.bitsharesmunich.blockpay Which accept steem dollar and steem..
