Hello all, nice to meet you.
This is the beauty of Blockchain! Taxation is theft and through a market place like this the state is cut out, so the best part is no sales tax...
I wish you all luck with your projects. I myself only produce what I need and practice the philosophy of refusing that which is unnecessary rather than buying crafts and such, so a market place is unnecessary for me. Well, currently anyway, since the future is filled with unknowns.
Hopefully wild fluctuations in the value of crypto become more static in the future, so a feature like this is more viable.
I offer a toast to sustainability and a future where self-reliance grows rather than the current trend of dependence, which is proving to be harmful to our species and the environment.
A word of caution, we are not advocating to avoid paying sales tax. This website or blockchain is not a safe haven from tax laws, whether we agree with them or not they are still the law. Everyone is obligated to track and pay their taxes.
I do really appreciate your comment and support. And you philosphy toward reuse and creating what you need is very honorable.
I think that regardless of fluctuations in crypto, we will find more and more ways to spend SBD/steem without having to convert to fiat and that in itself will help us understand the value of SBD/steem for their own earning/purchasing power and not what they can get us in coverting to FIAT. Homesteaders co-op attempts to help move us in that direction. If we can look beyond the fluctuations to support ourselves we will have more strength and power in our community.
CHeers!
