Let's talk competition.
How do you think Syscoin is positioned against its competitors; what are advantages and disadvantages in your opinion?
There are more than 20 competitors for SYS in "decentralized marketplace".
I consider SYS ahead of everyone in the crypto space:
-the SYS team has the best vision IMHO about how a decentralized marketplace should work (web version, identities, multiple currency)
-well known team
-very stable development
-early mover advantage
-most newcommers are ICO's (so IF they are funded, and IF they develop the software, they will have to compete against the working Blockmarket solution)
And most important: they already have a WORKING software, Blockmarket Desktop is up and running. Because most of the code can be reused in BM Web, that is a huge advantage.
-contract with marketing company, warming up until BM Web full exposure
The only thing i'd call it a disadvantage atm is the size and funding of the development team. With the ideas they have i'd be nice to have more developers working an it full time.
