RE: You can use Steem to pay for pretty much anything worldwide - but nobody does!

The large spread is the only way that market makers can make money providing liquidity, given that Steem is a highly inflationary coin and they're taking on the dilution risk, and it is not intended as a coin for commerce, so regular market participants don't contribute to the liquidity as they would in Bitcoin or similar.
