Quite frankly, I think OpenBazaar itself is overhyped.
1. Actually, decentralized places are the next revolution level where the markets will climb to.
Now today's platforms (ebay, amazon, alibaba...) dominate, setting their own rules, unprofitable to sellers and buyers. the only thing to do for people is the decentralized way of doing business. OpenBazaar for certain, not overhyped, but the beginning of next time!
especially, because of prohibitions, limits of various countries, departments etc.. such decentralized directions are the natural evolution of trading.
decentralized market is a defence for byuer as well as for seller from the third side.
2. the decentralized platform means a decentralized coin, so that it won't be possible to control from this side as well. Monero is the best, ideal in this conception, better than Bitcoin.
altought, Monero's got disadveantades compared to Bitcoin in its small capitalization, lack of popularity.
3. OpenBazaar itself is not ideal at the moment, in its embryo state from technical side as well as its usability. but with time, with demand and satisfaction, when people will see its benefits, it will be much improved.
OUr goal is creating of a stable secure ground ready for usage.
