and things like this <Gems> will take it's place
I hope so, they will attent insidebitcoin conference in Paris, that shows they are serious about it. The concept is very promising, with the right promotion it can do big things imo
They definitly know what they want
Our plan is to complete the development milestones to get an edge. There isn't another social crypto app with these features: - the powerful message that everyone shares in the success of the network - the viral concept of being rewarded for inviting your friends - the balanced and fair advertising model (creating inherent demand and value) - built in Gems/Bitcoin wallet - username is an alias to the gems address, making sending & receiving gems and bitcoins between users as easy as sending an SMS to your friend - Be as anonymous as you desire. encrypted communications. (WhatsApp and Skype style registrations)
Gems aims to be a gateway to cryptocurrency, encrypted social messaging and the ability to transmit value via txt message. we think Gems is in a very good spot to get a foothold in one of the most sought after spaces in the crypto market.
If the community helps us and Gems app goes viral, gems and bitcoin can reach hounders thousands if not few millions of new users. Thats Big. (Just as a comparison the biggest web wallet Blockchain.info just reached 2 million wallets, probably few hounders thousands of users, there must be and will be a better way to bring crypto to the masses).
One of our main goals is to bring more females to the crytpo scene. females are the best adopters of social networks (facebook, whatsapp, instagram, pinterest etc), dedicated crypto wallet isn't enough to keep them interested but integration with a social network can open up many interesting possibilities.
As the network grows and new features are added, some of those will require payment to sustain. Gems will always exist as a payment option for any value added features available in the app. Additionally, as new p2p reward models are created, new opt-in features will become available enabling sharing economy type activities, crowdfunding, and more. Since this is the first time the users will control the core value of the social network it is too early to predict what new novel ideas will come into existence.
We know there will be many complications and hurdles but our heart is in the right place and with the help of the crypto community to grow the network, Gems will be an important step for mainstream adoption.
