My solution is to continue supporting new front ends, and steem developers,including anyone willing to create steem based apps and new services. I see Bitshares is even able to show me a push notification when my Bitshares is received to my ackza770 account, and I use this very often to buy open.EOS. I just go to my steemit wallet, lick on my stem or SBD and click "Sell" and when it takes me to Blocktrades I just select how many SBD/steem I want to sell, select the coin I want to sell it for, which will be Bitshares, and then I select my simple memorizable bitshares account which is just ackza770 (don't ask me why I wasn't able to just get ackza on bitshares , I know, I know, ) ANYWAY When the Bitshares end up in my account after I send blocktrades my Steem/SBD, then I NOW get a nice Push Notification! This could be VERY useful on my phone and I can see Stem and Bitshares being all that most people will need when it comes to having an exchange etc. People WANT the ability to freely exchange coins and even sell for USD and Bitshares gives us these options.
I can even think of a simple p2p fiat cash system that allows people to trade bitUSD for US dollars, with simple local bitshares type meetups, and it could be done using bitpay cards, American Express Serv cards which just allow people to send fiat back and forth for free, and I really see this as a solution! American Express Srv cards or ANY prepaid debit card that anyone can buy at the store, or order online, SHOULD allow steem users to send fiat back and forth, and when you apply for the card online and pay the $5 fee to have your name on it etc, Then you can use them at ATMs and get cash. Once you have the paperwork done, you can use any ATM OR even deposit money on the card at any place that sells the serv cards at a cash register, and then you have a simple way for people to instantly buy Steem with Cash, by simply using a 7/11 or drug store type shop near them which sells these prepaid American Express Serv Cards to allow SPENDING of Steem & Bitshares
