But none of that answers my question from my previous post.....can anyone give me one example of a pathway that gets us out of this hole right now? What's a conceivable and realistic path that we can take to get from 9 litoshis to 50 satoshis? Is such a thing even possible?
Yes, create an Android/iOS game that is a flappybird-killer that uses karmacoin/anycoin as its ingame currency -or any other game for that matter, see Eve's ISK- and you'll see it flying to the roof, not just 50 satoshis. You asked if it's possible, and it is. Easy? No, it isn't.
So then your answer is no then...as I stated "a realistic path".....basically my main concern is "how do we get volume back to the BTC market with those huge walls now that we've been demoted to the LTC market?" I think when you're in the BTC market anything can happen..but below 1 Satoshi I'm trying to foresee an angle where we can make this happen....any ideas? (I know we're stepping up the branding and promotion and I think it's definitely going to increase the awareness but I'm trying to foresee the economics behind a rise to 50+ satoshis..)
I didn't say that. And that path is a realistic path, it's not impossible, and it's not that hard, but someone has to do the work. You can't really expect this to happen on its own. At the very least, one could just get a simple game, it doesn't have to be a flappybird/angrybirds-killer, just some semi-popular game. Give the developer some money + percentage of sales in karma coins and let him integrate karmacoin payments, and let things take their path.
