1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [EMUNIE] Decentralized debit cards and integrated PoS systems - *first look* on: October 05, 2015, 09:41:37 AM
Is there a reason a consumer would want to buy emunies first to do the purchase with instead of just using his/her visa card?

The only answer I could give to this question is rhetorical: Is there any reason a consumer would use any cryptocurrency rather than a visa card?

No there isn't. That's why I asked if they had perhaps came up with a new idea to take crypto to mainstream.


The initial users would be people who have already bought into the idea of a decentralized, P2P currency and network as an alternative to the existing financial systems monopolized by the large banks and financial institutions.

i.e. yet another way for early BTC holders to dump (indirectly) for FIAT.

Yes. eMu is the currency and eMunie the platform is an automated decentralised elastic money supply where your not robbed through inflation.

This means they wouldn't buy the eMu for that specific transaction but would have their entire income earned in (or converted to) eMu making financial transactions as effortless and practical as it is with the local fiat currency.

Most consumers don't have to worry about inflation as they don't have massive FIAT savings. They spend their salary in a month. Not much time for inflation to really affect anything. Store of value could be a valid use case though.

Sorry, I must have overlooked your question about plans to take crypto mainstream!

Regarding 'why eMunie', the eMunie network is explained in a series of videos on Youtube, although things have moved on since the older ones were made so they are not 100% correct but they do show the general overall system. An eMunie user wouldn't have to 'buy' eMunie, although this is an option, they could simply earn eMunie by providing a service to the eMunie community. Additionally, due to the ease of use of eMunie - no special hardware needed, no special technical expertise needed, straightforward GUI, 'familiar use' debit card, and more - compared to other existing cryptocurrency networks, eMunie would be a more viable currency compared to another crypto coin.

Given the care and expertise that has gone into creating eMunie, with the same diligence the rollout and marketing should produce wide spread adoption of the system.

Well, that's my take on it!

Interesting thread. This might be of importance concerning this topic:

I think to get adoption one would have to be as fast as VISA to make it something worthwhile. Otherwise why would people bother?
Quite fast is 'quite' good.

There's nothing like a reasoned argument...and that is certainly nothing like one!
