Howdy Steemers. 

If you haven't heard there's another emerging platform that looks to be the next future decentralized eBay.

OpenBazaar (http://www.openbazaar.org)

The team has created a great platform that's easily to get a store up and running without the barriers and costs of a 3rd party like Shopify or eBay.  

Do you like hot sauce?  Do you like art?  How can someone take the curation and editorial power of SteemIT and add a commerce platform or storefront (Optional of course)

There are even tools like:

BazzarHound for Android - Search for products and stores on your phone. (Would you like to see a review of it?)

AND: You can get your store running easily on your local computer or even a host like AWS or Vultr.

Now, here's the proposal:

Merge the OpenBazaar platform for purchases with Steem to create a true open decentralized commerce platform (TODCP)  that uses "Steem" as its currency via Bitcoin.  So you could purchase glass bead necklaces through @craig-grant store or even some @dragonho art or stories.

What do you think OpenBazaar Plug-in for SteemIT ? 

@Ned or @Dan - Any thoughts?
