A centralized advocacy group (bringing all cryptos together), and proper education to the "normies" would go a long way. Something to bridge the gap between "us" and "them"

Besides "It's stable relative to btc", those aren't arguments. You're only argument is negated by the fact that bitcoins instability (lately) is insane growth.

Interesting.. Source?

The masses are beginning to realize Bitcoin (and crypto in general) has more uses than what makes front page news (usually negative)

I believe it is easier to have your name shortened, but good luck!

Would you utilize fractional reserve lending? At what ratio? How would you prepare for a bank run?

In my opinion, the cryptocurrency that solves proper incentivizing of nodes in a proof of stake system will be the next big (huge?) thing in this community.

The amount of confirmations should be considered depending on the amount at stake.


Selling a cup of coffee? 1 transaction is probably sufficient.

Selling a high end computer? Might want to go 3-4

I think some sort of full POS system (possibly with POW for initial distribution), that manages to provide enough incentive to participate without devaluing the coin thru hyper inflation may be the ticket ere.

Instead of trying to funnel traffic to your site, can you post a little bit here about why you like these two projects?

Here is an example of bitcoin being featured in BLACKLIST

I've read their white paper and I am surprised it's taken this long for them to face legal troubles.

Let the market decide the opening price of a coin. Eventually miners and people putting in buy orders will meet in the middle and a price will be formed.

Quote from: Andreas Antonopoulos
"One of the things that came out of this, which I've found very disappointing. Is that one of the moderators of Reddit, who also is the moderator of [bitcointalk org] and the Wiki. Has taken a stance where he has excluded or censored all conversation about XT.

I think that's really an example how unhealthy the governance structure has become and to me the Reddit platform as result has really deteriorated badly. It's not a healthy place to have a debate. Between the moderators not doing anything about the trolling and doing a lot about censorship instead of focusing on the trolling...I'm out."

hmmm

Andreas Antonopoulos says that price stability (or lack there of) is one of the major missing pieces to mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency. I think stability is just what is needed.

Should a coin with eth's current marketcap being experiencing things like this? I'm open to discussion.

Not all coins have android wallets. But since most are generally open source, the community can build blockchain related accessories for coins they see utility in.

Devcon 2 is underway and the price hasn't done anything I would label drastic. Perhaps it was priced in.

I think people like us speaking up about cryptocurrencies in general (don't have to necessarily mention Bitcoin if you are just explaining the concept), will greatly help the widespread adoption of the concept.

I would continue to be patient, if you are just joining this thread. I believe the market is looking for that next "big thing" after the debacle with eth/etc. Let's see what q4 2016/q1 2017 brings in terms of new transparent projects.
