No money to be made via the protocol itself, true. But we obviously hope that OpenBazaar becomes widely adopted and we then have a large group of people to sell (optional!) services to. We (the company I co-founded, OB1) already have a search engine for the network and a verified moderators service that helps people know who to trust on the network. As the network grows there will be other services to offer.
