Crypto people dont care about anything, they are just here for money, whatever makes them money is good to them
Personally i think we need to solve Bitcoin's problems like fungibility, block size etc. We still have not perfected a global digital reserve currency. Only one altcoin i follow is trying to achieve this. But people are more interested in throwing money in 2.0 hype
I agree, bitcoin needs to definitely overcome the problems it is having before we can think about moving forward. I see bitcoin as the gateway to any alt currency achieving anything outside our geeky community, and if bitcoin were to fail it would be a long time before anyone could put their trust into crypto's again.
I concur that making these technologies easy and accessible to the masses should be a priority.
It's currently a very overlooked requirement and no crypto will achieve anything like mass market, no matter how good the underlying tech, marketing or spin without an easy to use client for Joe and his grandma.
Its not easy to do that though and it doesn't just come down to a easy to use client GUI, the infrastructure has to be easy too. It's far from easy to get in and out of crypto, and there is no incentive for the average person to use it that makes sense, what the banks have given them is more convenient that what crypto has to offer.
I think that is part of the reason why many crypto projects are moving away from a mass-market goal and partnering up with corps and banks, it's much easier to dance with the devil you know and it will result in a quicker ROI for the efforts already put in.
I'm committed to the penetration of mass market and I've considered ease of use heavily in the design along with infrastructure requirements and everything else in between. Hopefully eMunie can lead the way when its finally out the door
I feel we are near to saturation of investment into bitcoin and alts, and if things don't get simpler we may see a significant U-turn in progress taking marketcap on bitcoin and alts back years behind where we are now. Bitcoin is beginning to struggle with upheaval in the core development team, and it has failed to attract the attention of the everyday user. There are only so many tech's, geeks and nerds out there who would take interest, and eventually there comes a point when we reach critical mass and there is no new money coming in.
Although bitcoin is simple enough, there is still block size issues and confirmation times, I think currencies like eMunie are the way forward, and I would like to see more development of these type of coins, as we are just passing the buck to each other at every new release and hype, and those who have not wised up yet within the CryptoWorld, continue to carry on feeding the wallets of devs of over developed coins which will play no part in the final solution of a global digital monetary system.
