I just noticed that Lyrabar isn't listed on CoinMarketCap.
I sent in the request to add LYB, so hopefully that problem is solved.
Next up, adding LYB to coinpayments.net, and accepting it in my online store with a permanent discount of 25%!
First I have to figure out how to use a coinpayments plugin, which means I'll probably have to move my domain to another webhost because I signed up with Weebly.
Then I'll have to see if I can pay coinpayments $500 to add Lyrabar.
Anyway, one thing at a time, and coinmarketcap is first. Next stop, the moon!
Honest question: Why ?
Why do VISA employees go to work everyday, when some people only use MasterCard? But they go anyway, because VISA is the one they work for.
Well I'm involved with Lyrabar, I'm a part of the Lyrabar community, so Lyrabar is the one I work for instead of some other coin.
Other people are involved with other coins, and they do their part to keep their coins running and get new users.
But I'm on Lyrabar's team. We work together to maintain the network, with our nodes and mining. We trade LYB with each other.
We want to keep being on our team, so we need Lyrabar to keep running. We want to keep working together, so we need the network to stay healthy. We want to keep trading LYB with each other, so we need exchanges to keep LYB listed.
Maybe you think I should quit and go join Vertcoin's team. Maybe you think the White Sox should quit and go join the Yankees. But being a team member means supporting your own team.
What does any other coin have that Lyrabar doesn't have? A hundred billion coins? Lyrabar wasn't given a fair chance to stay listed at Bittrex and Alcurex, but one or two losses don't mean you should retire.
I chose Lyrabar because it has a low supply, it has a great algo with its own advantages, and it's new enough and small enough that beginners and ordinary people can get involved, make a difference, and even mine with their CPU.
Maybe you're wondering why I don't use a bigger coin that's already more successful. But those coins didn't become successful by themselves. People, like you and me, hosted websites, applied to be listed at more places, and spent time and money to promote and get people interested. We can do that for Lyrabar too.
Lyrabar is just as good as any coin - and better than most. We're aiming for the moon, and you can ride along if you want. But someone has to run the engine, and that's what I'm helping to do.
So, you want to know why? Because Lyrabar needs it, and Lyrabar deserves it, so I'm helping to get it done.
You're more than welcome to come to my online store when it launches and get 25% off digital downloads when you pay with Lyrabar.
