Third wave of Mass adoption..Started?

[Ehrhc]

I am biased here, but continue reading..


Bitcoin was the first wave of new trading, currency, commodity.

Ether was the second wave of expand and opening new oceans for crypto economy.

The third wave is the ICOs startups? which will open new oceans and add new potential users: FileCoin, LitraCoin who else?

When you think about the third wave think are they adding or not?

- Litra launched www.uppa.io earlier today, they will give everyone (US citizens) who will signup for Free health record access, 1 wallet with 1 coin in it.

This will bring 1-5 million new users to the crypto economy,

- FileCoin will do the same once they launch.

- Please do suggest


Please do add other ICO Startups that will add new people.( I will keep updating the thread)

The answer is NO

Look at the number of transactions in the last 24 hours:

It's been stuck in the same range for about a year (200,000 - 250,000).

Here's Ethereum's:

They had a jump up in July, but have plateaued at about 300,000.

Mass adoption won't happen if people simply don't spend their coins.

let me ask you a question:

which one of these ICOs hat are at least a couple of months old and have already gathered a lot of funds and have been around long enough after that, have actually done something in real world?

[fossilized]

All I would say is that things take time. The internet didn't take off until many years after; how many people can even understand the blockchain, lest code actual working products for it? The technology is still in its early infancy and only the greedy are impatient for high returns. To put things in perspective, who would have known a perfectly good company like netscape, which has browser dominance, to disappear or myspace to be totally eclipsed by a more superior facebook?

Same thing for all new technologies: it just takes time.

I actually didn't understand the question. Generally what I got from the question is that you are speculating that ICOs are next in line to bitcoins. Well to be honest they are just altcoins as well like ethereum.

Litra is being bold and thinks the trend will catch on in the whole world. But I would say it will not. It will be hard to get a lot of health care providers on board.

Can waves be classified as that too? Because on my observation, there are other ICO's that are being created base on there platform. I am not really familiar with it but i think having some ICO made in your own platform would mean it has a decentralized function on its transaction. Ripple too is a good platform because of its affiliation with banks around the world but i guess its not really a decentralized Coin.

You kinda confirming my assumption, that third mass adoption is coming from ICOs startups not Bitcoin or Ethereum.

I was thinking about Waves too, but Ethereum is filling that gap!
Ripple is same as litecoin just an alternative.
