Soon my friend soon.
People just getting used to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Soon we will be able to pay much more platforms with BTC.

When is this "soon"?
I've been hearing this soon from 2013, there is not a single month when we don't have a topic about amazon finally planing on thinking of devising a plan to analyze the possibility of accepting bitcoin payments and yet, we're still on soon!
At this rate, most of the people on this board won't be alive when this "soon" happens.

Perhaps there simply isn't enough demand for such a place

This is the real answer unfortunately, there is simply not enough demand for people to spend their coins.
The price has just jumped 10% in a day, almost everyone is like, "don't sell them hodl, hodl.."
How can a marketplace survive with this happening? Nope, it can't.
As much as I dislike saying it, we need a miracle to see something, and not on the size of Amazon but at least one that would match Overstock.
