All gems needs is a growing network effect which has influence on the price. Introduce Gems to everyone you know, it's just a simple app so it should be very easy to get. Downloads and marketing is the key here. The advantages of Gems is that its network effect can grow much faster than other alts because its so easy to use. It is also much easier to promote Gems outside the crypto community.

At first I thought Gems was an interesting idea, but if they had any success, value transfer would be adopted by whatsapp and that would be it for Gems and then lights out, party's over.
But then I realized that what gems has that whatsapp can never have is decentralization. The users are who gets paid for increased adoption an the users are paid for advertising.
This is why I believe that Gems is unstoppable and inevitable. And this has re-energized me on bitcoin in general because eventually everything that can be decentralized definitely will be at some point.
It is the path of least resistance. Gems is the gateway that can demonstrate the power of decentralization to the masses.

I know the devs are busy, but for the non-android people a desktop or iOS version would make a lot of Gems investors happy.

I couldn't agree more. I know you're busy and have to set priorities, but It would be great to see plans for a desktop version as well. I hate typing on my phone/tablet. I wouldn't use facebook chat anymore if I could use Gems. Saying that, the android ap is frickin sweet. Great work thus far.

Just so you know Jman I just read on Twitter that GEMS is planning a desktop client too. Which is good news for the Moms who use PCs. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) In all seriousness if Gems really does get big it will be so easy to morph into a full social media site taking the Gems token with it. It's a tall order but who knows it could be a FB killer. I mean people will love the idea of decentralisation ie no privacy issues and that they get paid for adverts, advertisers would be happy to use the system as it's actually more positive to get adverts cause you want them than not.

That name change tho. Made it so much less catchy, why not use Gems Messenger?
Agree. Would be good to get some feedback to why the name change was necessary. If at all possible I hope we go back to Gems or even GEMZ or even Geemz I just hate Getgems.

Gems is an awesome name for sure. Getgems is pretty bland. I am guessing the reason why they had to change the name is that there are already 50 different mobile apps called "Gems" and maybe some of them have lawyers.

Maybe if we reach critical mass the Gems team can use some of their stash to buy better Lawyers.
