Was just thinking about this the other day but it might be kind of cool to add some sort of "tip" feature on steemit. Next to the upvote or something you have a little "tip" arrow. Then when you slide a little bar from 0 to $100 (not percent) and you pay the content creator directly from your "steem wallet" rather then having it be "mined" off the chain. Good way to get our daily transaction up and it also takes gluttony out of the space. Also, by doing so, it rewards people for their content without adding more steem in circulation. Just a small suggestion I could see it having many "flaws" in it but thought id run the idea by the community. If people can make money even when the price is low it will actually keep the price of steem up!
Lastly we should think about adding an "items for sale" topic then people can buy items with steem then have it mailed to their homes! This would be a "light web" rather then the "dark web" steemit could be like facebook + amazon!!! People are more likely to buy tokens if they can purchase a tangible item rather then just speculation. Let me know your thoughts!
