This isn't about Kitteh v DOGE. This is about building a community around KittehCoin and that is what the team is moving forward with doing. We're working on enabling payment processors right now so that merchants can more easily accept MEOW. We are also already looking at KGW to replace the diff algo (after hard fork of course) and there are some other very impressive features that would attract more miners as well. Of course I'm not going to spill the beans right here and now but I just wanted to say that this doesn't have to be about KittehCoin v DOGE. I don't agree with DOGEs decision to allow infinite coins but it is THEIR decision, and I respect that.
I'm here for the community, the fun, and the learning. I'm here for the long run. I know there are a decent number of kitteh compadres who are here with me in that regard. I wish we could get past the silly stuff and get serious about making KittehCoin a more widely accepted currency. Mobile apps, internet wallets, and much more are just a sliver of what we are working on- remember we had to establish this informational base first and fix the coin specs (aka: relaunch) before we can really start steamrolling forward with innovations- and innovatin' ain't easy! Especially with such an opinionated community (but we love that).
Important Note: By "get past the silly stuff" I do NOT mean less memes!
Oh also, and this,:
The Crypto market is really more like surfing. You have to move with it, and can't set hard and fast expectations. I'm not worried in the slightest about Kitteh. Good active communities and an intention beyond simple profitability are what will see this currency through. I know that Kitteh is worth at least as much as Doge, and I don't intend to sell out any time soon. The two currencies can in fact amplify one another through constructive mimetic competition.
I was with Doge when it first began, and sure it spiked initially on Cryptsy, but it tanked for what seemed a very VERY long time down near 0.00000027 after having been up above 0.0000033. Media attention is what brought it back to its more substantial and generally stable levels, and the same will follow with Kitteh. Social and cultural saturation are powerful forces and those are what this coin hopes to operate from.
If you only intend to dump the coin, do it now and let the truly committed and passionate community members raise Kitteh up to its proper standards. The reality is that if all you are interested in is personal profit, with no other regard for the movement at large, then you only hurt what is a unique modern frontier. You become no different fundamentally than the decadent members of world banking cartels and Wallstreet. And, i believe, you actually reduce your own long term outlook.
Also don't forget, Bitcoin is quickly becoming established in world economics. All this has only barely launched!!! It will not be long before you can use BTC for all those services and products you otherwise might use credit/debit for. As that saturation occurs, the value will increase, and so will the Btc relative alts. So here's an idea, start replacing fiat purchases with btc purchases. Use Overstock.com and others who offer such payment systems--reward them and encourage the mainstream market; prove that these cryptos, while being initially volatile, CAN and will be used as true currencies as well as stores of value.
Sitting around staring moment to moment on trading values in fretting anxious anticipation is a road to nowhere; just as there are small waves within larger ones it is ok to take an expanded approach, and not merely jump at every shadow.
Anyway, be patient, be active, be measured, and have fun with it!!!
I just want to note, btw, that I am very impressed by the relaunch Dev team. Good work, love your intention, and I'm excited about the future. Thanks for putting so much personal effort into this.
