Greetings to you all!
I am new here, and I actively research about bitcoins everyday. My question here is to ask your opinion on a new altcoin that I just want to create.
The idea came when I saw coingen.io. Of course, the best way is to actually fork the code, if I want to give future support. I live in a country (still not confident to disclose) where the access to foreign currencies is blocked or strongly limited (therefore, acquiring bitcoins and/or miners is pretty hard, I've seen people selling miners around here, but really overpriced and with the difficulty these days, not worth to bother). It isn't like you can swipe your Visa or MasterCard online and it will work, it just won't, the currency blockade is in place there too. Those who have bitcoins here it's mostly because they mined those when CPU mining was possible, and GPU to the extent they could.
However, I've seen that many people wants to jump into the bitcoin bandwagon whatever-way they can. Now, what's the point of creating online businesses that accept bitcoins if hardly people will pay with it? After all, it's really hard to buy bitcoins, again, it's not possible to transfer money outside the country (as a normal citizen) in order to buy bitcoins from an exchange. So, to the point...
My altcoin. What do you guys think? I'd keep the same bitcoin parameters (only change the 3-letters code). It's only for giving a chance to develop this market here. I thought of it strategically because:
- Since it's not possible to get bitcoins at all, unless you already are a foreigner and you weren't born here... you can buy the altcoin with the local currency.
- Allows for people to have their own accesible commodity, to invest and to do whatever they please.
What do you guys think? In this extreme economy... extreme measures are to be taken.
