Hello! I have been on steemit for about two months and two things that are absolutely crucial for steemit to develop further for me are:
- Private messaging - this needs to be built right here on the platform to be used when needed - just like on FB. Only messaging itself does not work these days - people need video calling, they want to interact in a more human way. And again, needs to be available right here to be used, not on a different platform. I also do not think that 7 day storing is any good. How many times do we need to go back and check old messages? From time to time we do since some messages might containt information that we have to go back to.
- Availability to buy steem right on the plaftform using Credit Card. While some people might by crypto friendly able to buy steem at exchanges, majority is not. And the growing number of new users will not be crypto friendly and will not go through the hassle of buying steem at exchanges. If we want the price of steem to go up, we need to make it available to people. Right now it is not available which is a problem. Oh well, just some of my thoughts. Have a great night everyone. Tomas.
I think that @good-karma is a dev for esteem (the app) which uses the steem blockchain, but not of steemit.com ( the website) which uses the same said blockchain. Messages posted with one will show up in the other. There are many that use the steem blockchain. See steemtools.com. The question is, how much volume can I expect if I setup credit card buys for steem on my site steemfiles.com? Accepting credit cards can be costly.
The 2nd one I want as well. It will have one more advantage, and that would be the stability. Yes, as we have seen in the past that Poloniex had stopped the transactions of Steem, and other issues with the exchanges, people get frustrated with all this. Also exchanges can manipulate the Steem price by offering at different prices or stopping the transaction at the crucial times. This gives them power.
On the other hand if Steemit provides the service for buying Steem directly using debit or credit card, that would be awesome for everyone.
yes i tried to create a service to let people buy steem directly from me with cash but i dont have the resources to do it, i had to turn down a guy who asked me to let him bank transfer or deposit to my a bank account (which i dont have) and send him steem, i just walked him through how to huy some bitcoin tho instead locally, people need to learn to buy bitcoin locally and credit card would require processing, weneed a simple blocktrades feature or some third party steem with credit card thing ALSO charge back fraud u cant sell crypto for credit card because people use fake credit card IDs and identoty theft and u are forced to give back the money but people get tp keep the crypto! so u cant use credit cards without big infrastructure to deal with potential fraud, uits why crypto is superior, but maybe a local thing where u can put money on a special card at 7/11 like u buy an amazon gift card or prepaid visa card at a loical store and buy the steem with that!
