With every crypto project which has ambitious goals the problem remains the same – how can you seed your idea into the hearts of millions of people to succeed.
There is a difference..
If you are working on a solution to problems that are already in the hearts of millions of people, then that has far better chance of success than ever trying to convince people that they have a problem they were unaware of and that only you have the solution.
Too many projects I've seen come and go, find their own problem rather than address long standing concerns shared by many people.
The remarkable part of MaidSafe, is the focus and quality of intent; that aside from the delivery which is also extraordinary quality product.
As an intent, can there be a better one than addressing concerns about
Privacy; Security; and Freedom? Other crypto projects try to address one or two but SAFE network is not even crypto - it was in development long before BTC arrived and beyond that. Just the core idea of secure data storage.. with the pay once and/or provide resources to the network and getting rewards for that, has huge potential and at a time that data risk is everywhere.
As for the daft posts above .. understanding and insight follow from putting effort in.. dull pump and dump miss the point.
MaidSafe is a company bringing the professional edge to development but it's open source code and for the people.. once it's running, it'll be everyone's network to contribute resources to and draw rewards from.
If all you do is look at the price and play the markets, then you will miss the big wins. Just note the speed at which it drew new support yesterday.. couple of hours and it was multiple (26/10) oversubscribed. something most of you missed because you're not paying attention to the projects like this that are real world solutions.
Also, not to knock the idea of financial profit but there are other kinds of profit than just money..and I'd suggest SAFE if it delivers will do so in spades in all the ways. Nothing more important than addressing the core problem of privacy; security; and freedom .. especially now, given the political climate that holds people in contempt and uses them as fodder for the machine.
If you want a better world, then look out for projects that are trying to push the boundaries.
All change involves risk. As with life it boils down to what matters. What is worth striving for.
There is tons of crypto projects out there and it is very hard to catch the attention of masses. But without people there is of course no success
