RE: An Open Market on Hive, and Why It Feels Like the Right Move

I think that unless people want to spend their money, there won't be a demand/market. Lots of people want to make money, we are surrounded by Africans and Venezuelans. Not many want to spend money.
They need that money to buy food and pay bills. And most of the internet stores don't provide that, because they are global.
You can see that on Hivefests is basically a European event. I know it sounds harsh but it's part of the current landscape.
