First of all, thanks for responding. My name is also Chris by the way, so I guess we have that in common. You're one of the few Twetchers that has a straightforward name and sticks with it, so I appreciate that, because it helps me remember who I'm talking to.
Just to summarize... it sounds like you would spend your last penny to tell us that Twetch is rekt and we're too early. That certainly may be true, but I think we're over-complicating things a bit. I don't know if you were around in 2016, but there was a platform called Open Bazaar, which was basically a P2P marketplace. I could buy all kinds of things from other Bitcoiners, and buyers could even choose from a list of escrow mediators before purchasing an item, in case there was a dispute. I guess I stopped using the platform around 2017, even though it existed until 2021 I think.
My point is, if such a marketplace could exist 8 years ago, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to recreate something...
