Hi, everybody.
I have an idea to create a new service: crypto marketplace for goods, where as well as on ebay you can buy and sell goods for cryptocurrency. Users will be able to conduct transactions using smart-contracts.
What do you think about this idea?
I've already seen several platforms like that.
https://neverfiat.com/ is just one of them
So there is market for such a service, how big this market is though I don't know. The only people who will use it are the ones who have some crypto already.
The market is pretty small I think, I've seen many of these sorts of websites come and go after running for a year or so.
Take Openbazaar for example, their sales figures are really nothing to write home about.
Okay, with Openbazaar people need to actually install an app, so that's an additional action that many people aren't willing to take.
Not that e-bay like websites for crypto are doing any better though, just look at some of the listings on these websites.
https://forra.io/ (not launched yet)
https://bitify.com/ -- crap listings
https://itcoinbay.com/ -- LOL, their featured listings don't even have any bids
There are already lots of sites do really applied this thing but basing on those results or stats or just simply observing you can really see that theres no soo much interest regardless to other similar sites out there since I'm not yet too aware on those existence because I don't really care at all to use up all of these.For op's plans then he should really done something unique that would really caught up some potential users.
Maybe there are several users but don't expect that it would be much.
