Well, I'm in touch with say, some of the whales, I can say for sure that the vision is to have a marketplace and more soon! Think about it, I'd rather spend my Steem Dollars instead of going through the trouble of converting them. I have certain needs that are going unmet currently. I'm also thinking big because I live in a community and could potentially be buying land. I am interested in cultivating the idea of Steem in a physical realm too. Therefore, the commerce could be even more stable, with people living together, and doing their work using Steem power and never having to venture outside of Steem.

@stellabelle: I was thinking about what you said today about "each person needs to self-create their own job." And, it gave me an idea....
(I also checked out @roelandp and @fyrsikken.... Right on the money.)
The more I thought about what you said the more I realized that there's a lot of people on here who are probably working hard to create their own job and could actually create physical products and services that could be steem powered. I believe #Steem'sGotTalent...
So, my idea is to organize Steemit's first ever hackathon/pitch competition to highlight and jump start steem powered products and services! To ensure people are on the right track, founders,dev, and whales can reverse pitch to the community on needs the community has. They will also make plenty of steem in the process. Furthermore, I would invite you, @stellabelle, to be one of the judges if you're interested in selecting the winner which you would make a lot of steem in the process as well.
Lastly, since it's not all about the steem.. I will be giving all the steem gained from "hosting" the hackathon/pitch competition as a prize to the winner that will be selected by the judges, one of whom will be the steemit community itself. The newfound funding will give the winning team resources to execute on their product and service which will make steemit even more valuable in the long run.
Win. Win. Win.
