The short answer is: Volume.

Steem Engine uses steem as the base currency! That's the BIG deal here. Everything trades directly for steem. steem, IS the market. I think this could seriously be the biggest thing for steem.

By base currency do you mean the main trading pair, or is it something else?

Yes that's what I mean. Also I think it will directly help increase the market for steem.

SE also helps complete the steem ecosystem as you don't need to leave the "steem-eco" to trade or purchase BTC etc anymore. Altho the 1% deposit and 1% withdrawal will need to be reduced as SE gets it self established.

hey speaking of bitcoin, imagien if we could let people convert steem to BTC automatically so peopel could feel they are being paid with BTC? https://steempeak.com/bitcoin/@ackza/steempeak-or-likwid-could-have-a-deal-with-privex-or-blocktrades-to-allow-automated-bitcoin-withdraws-for-steem-post-rewards

i just did a post about it and how steempeak.com could have a feature like @likwid but for steemians to get BTC payouts instead of steem and SP... even if they take a hefty cut some people would rather take $10 in BTC than $20 in steem any day

Wow, nice idea.
I know a lot of people who would be more interested in steem if it could pay in BTC more or less directly.

Steem-Engine IS the biggest thing for steem so we all need to help fortify it with new ideas to keep it as decentralzied as possible\

ENg proposal system for one... SPS for steem engine and Witnesses, votingf or tokens, we can actually re define the exchange business.... steem on newdex will need scatter, also we should ditch keychain it did a great job but even @yabapmatt admits he has no time for it and maybe he can help with my github issue of adding steem to scatter, we need to fork scatter, add steem, and ask @nsjames and rami to go approve it, because hey scatter is for EOSIo and added BTC ETH and TRX steem should be next.

I wish i wasnt the only guy here who wants to do these things like adding steem to scatter or making @palnet into an EOSIO token like I DID with my SAND token and make it EOS, lol, like, i guess most steem devs feel beaten up lol
