RE: Blockchain business...It's a thing
I think there have been to create marketplaces but for various reasons they didn’t gain much traction or the website costs became preventative. I think the dropping of the Steem price made things unworkable.
But I can easily see there being Etsy style stores springing up, or at least a “pay by Steem” button attached to websites.
There really is no limit to this stuff.
I love hearing about use cases for Steem. One time I took a photo of a McDonald’s Hot Fudge Sundae and asked people to upvote it to see if it would pay for itself. The price of Steem had jumped to like $0.40US (it was a while ago)and it returned 3 fold.
I do know that people advertise their home-based businesses on Steem, and I am starting to see my own account as something of a brand. It needs a design overhaul, sure, but I want it to be an account you can trust and that both FIAT and Steem flow freely through it.

That should read “there were attempts...” to create markets and steem based shops but the exchange rate wasn’t steady enough. But eventually it will get better.
Yes, I'm sure it will move forward and people will make better use of the tech.
you are right...

Mate, you're probably 100% right about the cost-preventative thing...I got no clue...I'm the ideas man, not the tech-boffin! LOL
Seriously though, I think there could be a great opportunity for Etsy-style things here and in the future a lot more. I was just floating the idea based on @steemmatt and what he has done with some recent Lego sales.
I don't know man, I think it could be a cool thing.
