That is our very goal. Several times the idea has come up to poise ourself to be similar to the gold/silver/USD system. We would like to be able to present ourself a in a system that could be comparative, BTC/Eth/CASH example.
take one step at a time because aiming for your goal is a life long mission. because along the way, you will be overwhelmed by the obstacles encountered and might wane your enthusiasm to pursue the project. what im trying to convey is, collaborate with one shop or merchant at a time. you cant embrace a lot of merchants in one go. if you have one good example of a shop using your coin as payment method and everything is running smoothly, that would be a nice example that you can introduce to other merchants. and everything will follow.
because if they are satisfied with your services, they can easily endorse it to other businesses.
without telling them to do so because they will voluntarily promote you to others.
and that is the power of 'word of mouth' marketing strategy!
