With Bitcoin out of the loop, Smart Media Tokens would be easier to access from fiat currencies.
I expanded on the use cases for escrow UI that I had earlier mentioned:

Hello again, @mkdouglas,
Thanks for letting me know about your recent article. I don't have time to read and think about it carefully at this moment, as I'm preparing for the San Diego Maker Faire...
Nevertheless, as this is such an important issue I have given you a 100% up vote and have Re-Steemed the article so that it will hopefully gain a wider audience.
I'll get back to you later after I've had a chance to read and think about it.
Thanks for offering to resteem. I am open to suggestions and criticism.
I also made sure to follow you.
Hello, friend,
I would have replied sooner but I've been "flat out" and not available here.
First, I actually did hit the Re-Steem button before leaving you that message, and thought that the Re-Steem had already occurred... I apologize that it did not. I don't know what happened? In any case, I have now Re-Steemed and verified that the article was Re-Steemed to my blog. I don't know what happened, but Steemit occasionally "hiccups" like that.
Still don't have time to read it, but maybe Monday?
Kind regards,
- @creatr
