Welcome! I also read through the whitepaper and had a similar moment.

Pretty amazing stuff. I feel like I just discovered bitcoin for the first time again but instead of reading through pages and pages of bitcointalk to figure out what the heck is going on, I have this beautiful interface and amazing community to learn from. Cheers!

Indeed, the same feeling as when I discovered bitcoin around 2010-11. 

At that time I had thoughts of making my own simple BTC exchange service but arguments like "who the hell is going to care about the 1$ worth volatile toy coin?" persuaded me to focus on other things.

Hopefully, this won't happen again this time :)

I built an ecommerce company over 9 years ago, and I still work on it daily (somewhat like creating a job for myself). We have a great a team and a great product serving an important niche, but there are days (like the past 2 since I've been on Steemit, for example) where I feel like I'm trying to improve on the buggy whip as a Ford drives by... We'll see. Maybe I'll poke around a bit with the Python client and come up with some ideas other than a faster horse.

I think there are good thoughts on this matter in the middle of Solving the Cryptocurrency Liquidation Problem section of Steem Whitepaper. Accepting a volatile currency introduces significant accounting overhead for merchants but eventually merchants should accept any currency if it increases their sales (assuming there's a way to deal with volatility). The number of bitcoin users grows 10 times each 2-3 years so yes, that is a question of time.

P.S. Seems like Steem discussion is limited to 6 levels as I'm not able to respond to your latest post so I'm replying to this one.
