You have a good point. My idea would essentially make this bot into a kind of exchange, which is where it all turns too legalese for me. I should have added "I am not a lawyer" to the disclaimer. :)
This might be a stupid question, but shouldn't Steemit the company invest heavily in such an endeavour? Shouldn't ways to bring money into the platform be a top priority in development and business development? Or perhaps, partner with an existing exchange that can maybe process these conversions without steemit having to deal with the legal headaches?
Just throwing ideas around here. Thanks for commenting! <3
It was one of the top priorities that I suggested for the 2018 roadmap. There may be regulatory issues with them getting involved, but we’ll see.
