Hm, this highlights the importance of building partnerships where STEEM is accepted without being first converted into, say, Etherum.
As for the RC market, I'd say that's more of a necessity than a inevitability. An open, platform wide (because minowbooster already technically has a private one) market would only create more incentives to hold STEEM and build resource-hungry dApps that would stall without having a third-party supply of RCs.
