I'm just wondering, why aren't decentralized markets more popular? It's been years since bitcoin and DNMs became popular, and with all the DNMs closing these days, the need for decentralization is more apparent than ever. Yet (as far as I can tell) not a single decentralized market solution has gained foothold in the scene. Why?
Is it because all solutions, for example openbazaar, are not ready for regular use yet? If so, why are not more people working on software like this? I even remember the big players in the old Open Vendor Database forums talking about this back in 2011 before they shut down, seems like it would have been enough time for someone to actually make something since then.
figure out a good way to monetize a decentralized market and it will be made. Nothing gets done quickly without money motive
