Somehow we need to extend the crab in the bucket to the external use of the Steem currency system, to encourage people to buy in, hold their Steem, and use it to do business. This is of course the perennial issue with cryptocurrencies so far. The volatility puts off people using it as a store of value even though in the long run most have performed extremely well in this way, easily far outpacing even the most pessimistic estimations of inflation.
I have several ideas for business that I have posted about, but I seem to have been for some reason getting tangled up in stuff that is a bit murky and dangerous, like bounty markets for leaked and damaging information from dodgy people. This is perhaps not helpful :)
