The General idea of Steemit is that you are getting paid through your participation. Instead of a social media, like Facebook, where alll the money goes to the owners, you as the user get paid for attributing value through posting and curating. Now while I agree posting and curating brings value, no doubt, it's essentially people buying Steem and investing into the platform the brings the actual increase in price.
Having said that, we need more people to buy Steem or SBD. That brings me to the next point. I have 5 years of experience finding suppliers in China, finding the ones with the best price and service, and in the same time making sure that the quality remains according to the standards.
I'm thinking about sellling goods at a very desirable price, but you can only get that price if you use Steem or SBD. It's kind of like Apple's tactics in a way, you shape the customer to adapt to you.
I'm moving back to Sweden soon and I'm thinking of creating a web shop. I have a degree in industrial design as well so I would love to start making products and selling them. I could accept other currencies than Steem or SBD but it would be at a big premium. Ultimately I would want them to pay with Steem or Sbd. I don't feel bad about that because ultimately I only see good things about people starting to adopt a currency that's instant and that doesn't have any transaction fees, wouldn't you agree?
