As a community this large there must be people with the skills and creativity to come up with a sustainable public facing way of using Bitcoin/crypto as a form of currency, be it a Ebay-esque site to trade legal goods, or even setting up local networks for people to trade between themselves. I understand this stuff costs money, but so does bitcoin failing as a currency. As a community could something like this be crowd sourced between us all? I’d happily commit time and effort into an attempt at creating something that can show crypto isn’t just for buying weed online and laundering money.

Just my thoughts anyway Smiley

Noble thought! Even I am ready to commit my time into marketing such efforts. This community is already executing small trades for purchasing services and collectibles as well. But service and collectibles are not such item which can make great impact to the market.

An website like ebay is certainly a good idea but that platform has to be originated from a crypto friendly country with the capability to ship worldwide. However, the major challenge is the cost. If I want to buy a certain product, it will be be costlier for me if I source it from a foreign country than my local market. That's where the bottleneck is for such platforms. Think about it.
