I am really starting to think DIEM is a defunct on Poloniex, everytime you talk DIEM you get shot down about it being the worst coin on Poloniex. Happy days ahead, I should de-invest and take my losses, I doubt Coffee is going to spark anyones interest, as I can see there is no true benefit on DIEM at this time so it's looking like a wasted investment.
I just recently bought into DIEM before the blog was added to the site, I got to agree that the coffee ad was somewhat discouraging and hope that this potential market place wallet (if that is what I'm correct in understanding will be the Innovation of DIEM) will be more than just a market place of gimmicks. I really hope it won't be another market place to buy into other currencies either.
This market place, I'd hope, would be more like something like Craig's List with an economy one can buy into using Diem to calculate an exchange of goods and services Internationally. I can see how a low-value currency measured in Satoshi could be useful when a merchant in a country with a devalued currency would like to sell to a consumer in a high valued currency. For example, lets say a basket weaver in Zimbabwe would like to sell their baskets to someone in America, a few pennies can go a long way in Zimbabwe.
Create a means for both parties to cover shipping, maybe some referral links with regards to companies like UPS or other logistics companies and in time you may have a global exchange that even small businesses can use. Either way a Wallet/Market that can allow individuals to leverage the global economy would be something worth talking about.
I don't see anything like this happening over night, but perhaps partnerships with Drop Ship companies will help fill a market before users begin to add their own goods and services. It may also be worth saying that having a currency measured in less value than Doge in relation to Bitcoin also diminishes credibility, but I'm in for the high risk & high reward, at least until the Bitcoin halving takes place. It might be worth reducing the available supply to increase the value and then add to the supply over time gradually as demand increases so the value can be maintained.
I look forward to what more comes from this, even if it might come as a loss in the short run. BTW - I enjoy your, "To the Moon" game.
