While this is great news and will surely follow this project as a great expansion of the ecosystem, we need to continue demonstrating outwards for Steem and SBD to become more relevant on exchanges. Specifically, we need an easier and more liquid fiat gateway to enable the exchange quicker because I want to accumulate Steem not sell it so if required to buy something I would like a service to make the exchange for me. I think this is what SBD is needed for so that merchants have stabilized prices in their offerings.
