What the crypto projects (any type you can think of crypto projects), are doing in order to achieve mass adoption?

Is there any group of projects working together in order to achieve this social and specifically crypto goal?

If all the different crypto projects were more coordinated and united this could be achieved soon or at least each month the whole crypto could have some positive progress.

look at stromtoken project. they already have storm shop which is user could spend their token to buy something . several partner already have agreement with storm. projects collaboration very important to realize mass adoption, we've see many projects have partner each other to support, but unfortunately they didnt work on same goal, collaboration just to their own advantages in order to make their investors believed.

What do you mean by "crypto projects"?Cryptocurrency Trading platforms?Tech startups using crypto?
All crypto projects aren't created equal.Most of them are scams,which is a big problem,because the crypto industry has to build trust,in order to be massively adopted and successful worldwide.
Almost all of the crypto related projects rely on the already established niche of crypto traders and enthusiasts.No crypto project will be advertised across people,who aren't interested in cryptocurrencies.
This really slows down mass adoption and growth.

I guess it's all about partnerships really and adoption will follow through. For example, your project is a startup and you have partnered with the gaming industry then the gaming industry has lot of users that most of them don't know any crypto yet and because of that partnership it has been adopted and used. If ever I can think of it was the summits that happen every now and then like Blockchain summit that unites different crypto startups and even those who already made their names on the crypto space.

It's hard to tell mass adoption on the infancy stage of crypto industry we aren't there yet. If you want to know some positive progress I guess you have to see for some crypto news and don't just rely here on bitcointalk there are other platforms that you'll get info and AFAIK crypto industry is always progressing every day, every block of a transaction is kind of a progression it may hidden in plain sight but that's still a progress.

I think they are convincing stores to accept tokens, there is an article about Cardano being accepted to a store as well which they can use the phone wallet to pay. Its too early for Cardano to be accepted but they already are accepted. I really think the the mobile apps are going to make all these mass adoption possibly quicker than another decade.

many startups use applications to make it easier for them to become consumers. this is indeed acceptable in cryptocurrency, accepted they want mass adoption. convenience for consumers must be prioritized, so that it is easy to get customers. for now practicality and efficiency are the choices of the people

You're going to need a more concrete example, both with the problem you want worked on with the amount of progress to be expected.

Bitcoin's most pressing problems at the moment, for example, are scalability and adoption. It's almost completely incompatible (either ideologically or technologically) with the scaling solutions other projects have taken (and vice versa), so I don't see how coordination could help on that end. It would be great if everyone could get together to promote crypto usage, but at the end of the day, everybody's already doing this, just each on their own time.

I suppose it would be nice to have some sort of united crypto front, but I honestly don't see how that's possible (properly, at least), or how it would even help.

If there's a will, there's way. All of us who uses cryptocurrency are hoping for a better world where cryptocurrency is adopted everywhere.

Maybe for now, it is really hard for most of the country to unite as one that uses cryptocurrency as a material in transactions. Until now, there are many countries who still don't understand how bitcoin works, so the adoption is also hanging and is slowly increasing. We, the people have the power to make it adopted not only by our friends, and families but also our Government, and when that happens, we can now freely use bitcoin in our everyday lives without any hindrance. Most probably the coins will also increase its price and can vary depends on the market where coins will have a large volume of users.

 I think there are no team projects to advertise cryptocurrency but the people who uses it are voluntarily promoting it. Even Twitter founder added an Bitcoin emoji to its platform and recently the Simpsons TV show talk about cryptocurrencies and the perks of it and introduces the decentralized ledger that stores its records.

If your mean about one crypto projects that gather all developer from all crypto projects that have been released, then I don't think that will be easy because each team that made their project don't have the same reason. They will achieve their own goals that they already prepared before they launch their project to the public.

Although if all crypto projects united, and together they build one big crypto project, that doesn't mean crypto mass adoption will be achieved in the short term because they need approval from each government. That is not easy to convince them to approve crypto. Maybe not this year, but maybe in the long term, that plan can be achieved.

So many projects that they offer for the future with mass adoption they will bring advertising to introduce their projects so that more is known, for mass adoption of course it takes time to be accepted at the company with their own tokens well I think many have done projects like this and the progress is increasingly clear the more liked.

Many projects are actually embarking for their mass adoption.
Look at the apps that they are launching and soliciting users to download their app.
Of course, the adoption doesn't stop just by downloading and installing the app.
But the actual usage of their app in every day life of the crypto user.

How they could be coordinated if all of them are aiming to have more sales and increase their market cap? I think they will only be coordinated and united if the same strategy of Sun will be applied.
It's the acquiring of other projects and uniting it as one management.

exactly mate . they are greedy and want more profit so teaming up is a myth but i think ive seem some that do collaborate  . it was like a two popular name that teamed as one and form a new brand that is two times stronger  . they can still dived their share equally . if other cant unite thier advocacy is still the same and that is too provide good service for the public , we can still be proud of them .   i didnt know the justin sun have a teamed up with other personalities , i thought he is a strict guy and likes to work alone . thanks for the info anyway .

I'm talking about the acquisition of Tron to Bittorrent and the latest was Steem.
This is the kind of collaboration that I'm saying for the unity of these projects. But if they keep on multiplying and aim for the same target and that's the community, the newer ones will have lack of space to breathe and might die eventually because of lack of support, exposure and the others might have the same fate for being a scam.

Yes, all those types of projects are crypto projects.

I think mass adoption will happen by itself without any crypto projects that need to work together. Every project in the crypto will promote their project to the public so people will see and know that there is a crypto project that can be their investment in the long term. If one or more project can get their success, people will see that crypto can give the opportunity for them to make money. They will see that crypto is a new type of investment on the internet, which can be their way of making money besides the other investment type.

Today there are a lot of countries accepting the use of cryptocurrency and many people would like to make improvements and innovation on it. Some of them have some requests like the atm cryptocurrency to make faster transactions of withdrawal and also it has a low transaction fee. One of the things we can do too is to make investment and introduce to other people what does the cryptocurrency can do to make more earning in just a single day. Also, we can make a lot of projects that are related to the world of crypto like having seminars and sharing with other people. It is better if we encourage them to make savings at an early age so they can be independent person because they have enough funds to sustain their lives.

Yes the mass adoption of cryptocurrency will happen by itself or it will happen naturally for the nature of each crypto projects are to advertise themselves and for us who already have seen the opportunities that crypto can give it is our duty to extend those things to other people who still don't know about it so i agree with the seminars thing, in my school we have experienced this seminar about the blockchain technology and it is a great way to introduce crypto and blockchain to someone.

When we talk about adoption, we should definitely take a look at Germany and how they are now sort of making the adoption a bit easier. Banks in Germany will be capable of holding their customers bitcoin, also probably will start to allow bitcoin buying/selling on their platform as well if I am not wrong, so basically you can use a bank for storage for your coins.

Now when you reach that far, all we have left is making sure you have bitcoins on your debit card from that bank as well, which will make sure you go spend any currency you want in any place and you will end up paying with bitcoin from your account (even if the place you paid gets fiat). That type of thing would make the world a lot more adopted since there are now reasons to spend bitcoin as well and ways to spend it easily with a trusted company (banks) so it would get more common.

Just if Libra of Facebook made it to the market, it could have made the whole cryptocurrency adopted by the mass. I still remember the day when Mark Zuckerberg announced Libra. The organizations around the world were shaking to join the said project.

Visa joined the group. The Libra's original company owners from Swiss almost made it with the unicorns in Tech and Fin-tech. But it failed since the government stopped them.

Maybe mass adoption is getting more and more blurred today. The governments are not happy with the cryptocurrencies. Disruption and revolution are never cheap. They said.

Nothing by itself since it need a support from the new and old people but if the one you mean is it will normally spread since the one who knows about it will talk crypto to their neighbors and friends then we will scatter like fire since word of mouth is so powerful tool, I see so many seminars conducted but actually it doesn't give any benefit since the attention is less and I truly believe that media advertisement is one of the most effective way to spread the awareness of it.

This has been into lots of hardship for the past two years and yet there's no development at all. Adoption is indeed a huge factor to make a desired project get into success, but reality never meet what has been expected. Making money always depends on the results, so always take every step as a foundation to create the best strategy which is needed to reach your goals without any hindrance.

This could be nice too. It would be like a signal group in my view. This will help crypto adopters to understand different technologies in the different coins. Moreover, incase for bounty hunters too, it will help to foster more unity and force to ensure that they get paid for all their involved bounty.

If these crypto projects have the same goal, then mass adoption for crypto is now starting to take place. But it's hard for all crypto projects to be united since each of them have different things to promote. The only thing that is common is the goal of success for crypto projects. Hopefully someday all bounty projects will create one target and that is crypto mass adoption which will require all bounty hunters to help promote mass adoption for crypto.

We cant point out consider the current numbers of projects in the market with having that different aspects or areas of specialties that were trying to create on or shall we say on different sectors but look at on what happen?

Most of them do end up on failure due to unrealistic aims or goals or shall we say that they do copy out each others ideas and do die up in the end due to lack of support or investors doesnt already trust up this process.

I dont expect too much for alts to give out such thing yet Bitcoin is already enough imho.

A lot of people think that only bitcoin will be enough for the masses to use, but why they don't stop for a moment and think about the car industry for example, in the car industry we not only have Ford cars, we have Nissan, Mercedez, etc. same applies to crypto, there is room for more than one coin, not just bitcoin, but many altcoins too, those thinking that only bitcoin can make it are completely wrong, thus they are called bitcoin maximalists.

right, there will be lots of useful cryptos besides altcoin, and like a car, of course crypto will have their respective markets, so it seems like healthy competition can develop together. but of course there will be many people who have the same assessment of one car, and I think that is a common thing

The truth is that they can never have the same goal, and because of that they can’t be united. Even those that are working on the same project at times they get divided and they fork the coin and face their different goals. Everyone that’s creating a coin will always have their purpose and it’s not the same with others. And I don’t see anything wrong with them being different.

This is like a business world and businesses are always different, and everyone sell different products. That’s how the crypto world is, bitcoin was created with transaction as the main purpose and Ethereum is created for smart contracts, Monero for privacy, and that’s how it is.

This is actually the result of our hardworks wherein we are making noise in the society, what I mean is that we are promoting cryptocurrency aside from bitcoin, also altcoins are becoming famous all around the world. Although there are some countries that are not allowing cryptocurrency to be used. Some people's primary feedbacks about crypto is that cryptocurrency is a scam which is actually not for us. We can say that there are some projects that are intentionally scamming other people, there are lots of projects that are dedicated and really want to achieve success.
Mass adoption would be good to the community wherein there are big chances that we can gain a lot more investors to support upcoming projects and also buyers of altcoins. We already know that different projects have different platforms that will help particular problems on transactions through technology.

That's right one of the biggest factor that can make the massive adoption of the mass will be the mobile applications and mobile phones because you can do everything in you mobile phones and also the wallets are just through the use of mobile applications in which you can easily access it without and hassle so I can really also say that this can be the key to the massive adoption of the cryptocurrency all over the world. Due to the continues adaptation of cryptocurrency in our country many mobile applications and wallets are pumping out because they are supplying the needs of the users and people.

If we see how good the crypto adoption in these 5 years, maybe we will see good adoption for crypto after 2015, and with helping from the internet, cryptocurrency can spread in many ways, one way that we know is from social media. Social media like Facebook, twitter, youtube, and else will be the way to get more adoption from the people because people will see every news about cryptocurrency and that will help crypto to be spread among them.

No more crypto projects needed which itself enough to bring the mass adoption. :)

People are afraid of scam projects in crypto space which constantly damaging the crypto market so new people are not interested to make deep research which lacks the adoption rate. Once the scam project completely gets vanished which will ring more trust to people and adoption as well.

According to your words the answer to op's question would be - name any big and relatively stable crypto company, the bigger the better for adoption.
I'd say its not particular project which pushes adoption to masses.
But its people who tries to connect crypto to govs, big companies (like  coinbase and visa), who adds crypto payment options to local franchise service.
All those things brings a lot of attention to crypto.

If it is then we are going against decentralization to bring more adoption? Services for what to make cryptos to fiat then this kind of adoption will keep cryptos as assets not as the payment mode.Anyone can send and receives cryptos on their own by having a wallet alone.

If it's not useful, I don't think even a join project with all coins combined would do any good. They are all just speculation assets at this point.

Anyway, I want to see Bitcoin used in casual mobile games like FarmVille, etc., and used directly as in-game currency. For example, new accounts get free 500 satoshis to buy seed and then grow the crops, sell it, and earn more satoshis. Anything you can imagine, with balanced gameplay, of course, so not many people will get rich because of this game ;D

Actually your idea of uniting those crypto project seems vague because all of them are different from each other and delivers different value. Maybe the thing they can bring is the people that supports their project because in this way they are inviting new users to explore the crypto ecosystem. Also, if we want crypto to be adopted, it should be first implemented by tjose big businesses out there to generate enough number of supporters.

I dont think there is a certain project that has exactly have this kind of goal. I think somehow it is natural for every campaign to generate adoption for the whole crypto ecosystem because if their supporter invest with them they are probably opening new possibility of exploring other coins.

I think that will occur at some point sooner than later, just like what happened with the internet, there were many businesses that started doing commercial things with the internet so it became popular and useful, the same thing will happen with blockchain.

Because, people should not underestimate what time and technology can do in a society. Integration of cryptocurrency in different countries are now happening, making their own crypto coin that will be used in their financial transactions all throughout their society. But, it needs time and effort for them to cover and implement their whole country with new financial currency that might replace fiats.

Since Bitcoin is a decentralized platform then it really is up to the people. The way I see it is that those people who are advertising Bitcoin are driven by their interests especially for the company who are bound in cryptocurrency but there are also people who are spreading the news so that other people could also take advantage of the benefits that BTC offers.

But I think we are not yet to see big achievements in the crypto world by mass adoption everywhere because many people out there still don't know about cryptocurrency. We still need time to see the mass adoption will happen in all countries, and perhaps, it will happen soon. But we already saw what is happening in 2017-2018 wherein cryptocurrency becomes a new trend and attracts many investors to come. Although after that year, the crypto become suffers because all of the coins are getting down for the price, but I believe that someday, the mass adoption will come.

Yes, I also believe that in the future the mass adoption of Crypto will occur after many people around the world know the world of Crypto properly. After Halving later and if the price of Bitcoin rises dramatically then I believe many people or large companies will look back to Bitcoin.

I think you should first explain what you mean by mass adoption

That is, what fields should Bitcoin be used in to count as "mass-adopted"? If it is about using it as a currency in its own right (like the dollar), it doesn't seem very likely because it lacks properties required for any such currency in the world today. Most importantly, its supply should be adjustable and variable according to the needs of the economy as it shrinks and expands. But Bitcoin will never be like that since its supply is algorithmic and kinda set in stone (read, it can't be changed beyond that)

I think the decentralization is in the blockchain and not with the bitcoin. You can literally just have banks start to list bitcoin as a commodity you can buy from the bank and you can have debit cards or credit cards that you can use and bank will allow you to spend your bitcoin with it.

As you can see the whole process of the adoption would be completely centralized and it would still work. Is that idea full centralized? Yes. Is is mass adoption? Also yes. So as you can see we can make it work if we can convince some big players in the game, that is literally all we need to do and in order for that to work we need to show them how it would be very very profitable for them to do something like this.

Bitcoin is just money. There is nothing to promote. Companies that provide services for those that use Bitcoin usually compete. So they cant together promote their product. They promote it by them self.

The adoption to me is for the benefit of everybody because if there is adoption, all coin with use case will increase and that means hodlers will make profit. Therefore, any outfit that is advertising for adoption will be a benefit for all.

There is a lot of good cryptocurrencies out there like Bitcoin and Ethereum but no matter how good the project is it's growth even if it has tons of features it can only go so far in terms of mass adoption. If we are only talking about crypto mass adoption here the crypto itself having a lot of features is not the solution because it will be highly dependent on what laws and regulations as well as support the government will bring for it. One of the best examples on how regulation and laws affects mass adoption is China where the government itself it planning to go digital in the near future starting on their own fiat where they try to lessen and lessen the used of their physical currency. Honestly it is the only thing hindering the way for crypto users to grow in numbers since more often than no majority of the countries will not see crypto adoption as one of their main priorities for the country.

By taking those advantages, they should look on the importance with declining value as an opportunity for everybody to buy at lowest possible cost. With that strategy they'll acquire higher profit when bitcoin price starts to pump a good value, and on the promising increase; each asset will grow substantially with stable demand.

There is no need for them to be working together. You can take the real world market as an example: there are lots of businesses with different purposes. They all do business but that doesn’t mean they will work together.

Reddit is a social media platform and Facebook is the same as well, but that doesn’t mean they will work together, rather they will work differently and offer services that differs in one way or the other but still the same purpose of being a social media platform. That’s how cryptocurrency should be, and that doesn’t mean that there is no adoption, adoption is not going to happen in a day. As time goes on people will get to know about it and also adopt it. So chill man 8).

There are crypto projects that are focused on achieving their own goals. And while this happens everything will depend on the response of its users.

We all know that it is a process that depends on many factors: knowledge, technology and the market situation. A massive adoption will be the response of a community for the possible solution of a problem.

Whether people in crypto try hard or not, cryptocurrency adaptation will come sooner or later than we think. We are in the age where technology is advancing and everything phases out really fast. People are open to innovation and quickly adapt to it. What crypto need is more exposure or for bigger companies starting to consider blockchain technology or crypto, once a successful company will be able to implement crypto in their normal business cycle and prove that it boosts business opportunity other things might follow.

Yeah, I too agree that crypto adoption will eventually happen. However if we work on it more often than we work on the trading part of it, we can make sure it happens  a lot more frequently. Moreover, crypto community do not want that all that much I am afraid. When a new exchange opens up that allows you to trade crypto there are millions of dollars of volume there, however when a place opens up a debit card that allows you to spend bitcoin anywhere in the world that accepts credit cards that doesn't get too much attention and criticized for the high rates.

The moment we give those companies attention as much as we give the exchanges, we will see crypto adoption on the rise as well.

i believe all of them are doing everything to achieve the adoption(not counting the scams) so maybe there are some time need to wait for the effect?
i am afraid there are no groups because they are moving individually .
well if that happens?yeah i am sure adoption will happen more sooner than expected.

Remit created in cooperation with Ripple labs and working on XRP just announced they will allow transactions made via a text message. This has an incredible potential for wider adoption of cryptos for less tech advanced people. Really, for many people even using traditional wallets may be a problem.

Yes, this will happen exactly as you write. Each cryptocurrency will promote its services for use in any area. But all of them together will perform one task - the promotion of cryptocurrency for mass use. But the main task will have to be performed for the introduction of bitcoin and Ethereum.

If you can just be able to browse, there are a lot of crypto projects that can actually contributing to the mass adoption. It's just that, since there are so many projects that can choose from, many aren't that excited to use it and being left behind and ignored because it was a usual project like the others.
 
 Mass adoption is not yet fully achieved regardless how success the project were being introduced and launch.
 If this cryptocurrency technology were being accepted firstly by the government, that is a big step to acquire the mass adoption we are aiming for.

Crypto projects gives some of the business an idea how would their transaction will look like if they are going to adopt their project. They partner with every other businesses out there for them to be able to introduce what can bitcoin or cryptocurrency do to their daily lives. It will for surely gonna cause a big impact to the economy of their businesses if they avail what those projects can offer to them.
