I look forward to conducting business with steem once private messaging and user-friendly escrow become steemit realities. Thanks for moving us in this direction!
@mada I am fairly certain that from looking at the code we can expect to see at least escrow in the next hardfork which is likely due in the next couple weeks.
I'd love to be able to buy and sell using Steem. I've posted about paying people for contributions to my guitar pick collection. If someone is selling music I like then I'd happily pay in Steem, if I have enough. It's more convenient than some of the other options, especially if paying internationally, and there are no fees.
You can easily transfer Steem to another user. Just need to include a message to say what it's for. Shops or other sites could generate codes to use there and I expect they could code something to handle it automatically. This is exciting technology.
Two things. One, how did you get SoundCloud to display in the steem post?! I want to share tons of rap I rapped. http://soundcloud.com/laconicflow
but when I paste a link its just a link. Two, I would buy or sell with steem, but would never dream of holding it long term. I'd hold bitcoin longer than steem, but I'd be watching it like a hawk. I hold my money in dollars if I want it safe. I might take payment in a crypto currency but I'd trade it for dollars right away.
click share, on the top of the pop up click embed, copy and paste that link into your post and the player shows up in the post.
Second, by selling some of your music exclusively on Steemit or for STEEM/SBD you can drive the value, if you have a fan base they will follow you over here and vote on your posts, giving you more visibility, creating instant value for you. Look at @dollarvigilante he has a following that he brought over and his posts are big money, they are really good posts, but his following makes them visible.
Once they get here they will get interested, stay, create, participate, tell more people in turn increasing the demand for STEEM/SBD, basic supply and demand says that will increase the value in the long term.
@jaycobbell - there comes a time when 0ne must believe in something! Hell, we trust the government to protect us, nothing is for certain. When I say I am certain about 'Steem', I am sending out positive vibes as I truly believe! I also go by feel and this, I can feel ye dig!

@raymonjohnstone Another hardfork already! lol well as long as it benefits, I'm with it!
I dont know for sure if or when it will happen but you can see on the witness list that @Dan is running it already.
I would love to see market places like ebay and amazon built on the blockchain.

If I had a following that dedicated I'd bring it over here but I don't. Still super underground. Thanks so much for telling me about the imbed link.
@laconicflow
Exactly!
I think steem is a great investment but I would never put my own money into it. I'm happy blog and get what I can, there is too much uncertainty.

My answer : YES!
