in my opinion, mass adoption is an unreachable goal. We should focus to bring NEM as tech to partners like banks, payment processors and so on. They have a need of NEM's tech or the blockchain tech in common. The normal guy usually does not have.
Wouldn't banks using your project in some way be beneficial?
Not saying that's all you would want, but would you welcome their participation?
Its hard for me to imagine a scenerio in which NEM technology gets used by millions of people via Mijin (yes millions), but somehow the main center chain of NEM doesn't benefit and grow way beyond what it is now.
I think your right that NEM gaining tech partners is a great strategy, although I also think it should be a PART of the overall strategy.
Mass adoption IS possible IMHO.
Very difficult, yes.
I do believe that if NEM played it's cards just right, it can reach members of the general public.
Nobody has figured it out as of now. It has always been my belief that the stars will align at some point in the future, and we will see the interest of the general public gain traction when it comes to cryptocurrency in general.
Will it be NEM? Who knows.
I can say the approach NEM has taken looks promising to say the least. There are a few other projects with promise as well.
One day it will happen I think. A coin will have a message that reaches the masses, and that message will be successful in showing the benefits to them in a convincing way.
It could be NEM. It has many of the pieces already there, and has the potential to get the rest into place, especially in light of the recent developments we've seen.
