Satoshi was apparently thinking about that same issue, of a decentralized market within bitcoin, but it just didn't get finished.
And in February of 2010, it was stripped out of bitcoin.

Go OpenBazaar, etc. They (and some other similar projects) are carrying the torch of decentralized marketplaces that don't require legacy institutions to operate.
Thanks. I wasn't aware that the decentralized marketplace problem was being worked on at that time and by Satoshi. Interesting.
So what do we need to put that back in to a working cryptocoin? I see all this nonsense about putting stuff 'on top of' bitcoin, but it seems like it really ought to be integrated, or if not integrated, at least follow the unix philosphy of individual tools you can compose together. Libbitcoin seems to have had that 'tools' approach, but it appears to have no use case, and can you even mine an altchain with it?
