Marketplace is surely needed. It is a major hole in the entire industry. Years ago, some were saying that Steemit Inc should built it on steemit.com. It fell on deaf ears. Nevertheless, I agree with you, shops are needed in a big way.

Technology is a long term process. People forget that Amazon spent 20 years building to the point where it started to make enormous profits. The same is true for Tesla which is now only starting to hit its stride.

This will take a while but it is evolving. Each week, we are seeing progress being made in the entire industry. Hive is certainly making some strides yet more could be done.
