If they want to boost the value of Steem, they should create an online store that provides discounts to anyone that makes a purchase in Steem or SBD. If they combine social media, with a market, it would improve the utility and the demand for the Steem blockchain. The need to get real money into the system. Real economies need to be based upon utility and disposable income. Some of us could be promoting, buying, and selling exclusive products from each other.

it's a good idea .. to make an investment in local currency and sell product in steem .. I will think about the possibility of doing that business .. I usually spend a lot of time trying to publish quality content in steemit, I not thought about that possibility of investment .

I'm still a little fuzzy on what the actual difference between STEEM and SBD is.

STEEM is the actual trading token (i.e. can be bought/sold on binance) and SBD is... also for trading? I've traded a tiny bit of SBD for ETH before so I'm honestly confused as to the what the distinction is.
