One of the biggest drawbacks to cryptocurrency in general is the lack of places to spent crypto.
Exactly that, for some time now I've been thinking how this could be fixed. Especially that we have HBD which can be used as a safe, pegged payment option.
I thought that a platform that would allow you to accept HIVE and HBD payments would be great, something like Stripe but for Hive. But that's a huge project and very complex from the legal POV -- would require lawyers and tax specialists from all around the world to make the platform really usable.
Also, what we need I think is to have tools prepared for people that actually would want to build something with Hive. Things like people that can help with being law-compliant for people and business that want to use Hive, tools for entrepreneurs, developers, designers, proper documentations and knowledge bases, and so on. Instead of thinking of what particular thing we could do to make the adoption faster, we should start with providing an environment for people of different backgrounds that will help them build on top of what there is.
It's not that the above is not present, it is. And I believe it should be a main focus. Many people have many great ideas on how Hive could be used in this or that, they just need a helping hand to make this happen :)
