Many detractors are missing the point. VRC has value-added services that allow a single entry point for people to be able to perform functions that they would otherwise have to trawl through the industry to find who does what and how much it costs.
If you have a person new to crypto who downloads a wallet that allows them to use online services that accept BTC, allows them to send an SMS payment to someone who doesn't have a wallet and numerous other functions, you cut out the need for that laborious and steep learning process we all had to go through.
A long term goal will always be for these value-added services to be able to migrate to open-source decentralised platforms but, at this time, we'd be deliberately handicapping wider adoption if we insisted that everybody faced having to attain the same degree of knowledge about what is going on behind the scenes, technically, socially and commercially, as we did.
I support this coin because it clearly aims to reach as many users as possible around the world including the unbanked and those unable to access secure internet. It's making amazing progress. It is well distributed and fair.
What good is a crypto if you can't spend it? With VRC there are already many ways to go but nothing comes out of the box fully evolved.
Until perfection and worldwide coverage is achieved
, there may be a need to integrate with legacy services.
FIAT is not going away any day soon.
VRC is a business not a religion. It's not heresy worthy of burning at the stake to offer a centralised, optional add-on.
The only way for a coin to succeed and last is for it to be known and useable. People want to buy things not play with wallets. I understand the wish to establish a network of dedicated ATMs and so on and that may well happen some day but, in the meantime, how do we get widespread everyday use of VRC? How do we get the name out there and have it known for it's ease of use and benefits?
The VRC devs always try, it seems to me, to work on as many fronts as possible and still manage to avoid diluting quality. They offer choices.
It is now possible to have a Bitcoin Debit card and draw cash at ATMs all over the world. Yes, it"s centralised and there are fees but it's the fastest way I can imagine to make people aware of crypto as a real alternative for storage and spending. When people come to understand the benefits they will switch. Only a matter of time.
A bit like VeriBit, BTC has been clever enough to make use of existing possibilities to broaden use. I think it would be, at the very least, an excellent way to get people using VRC if VRC could be added to such a card. I made an earlier post suggesting this be considered. I offer it only as an idea.
I have been into BTC since Aug 2013 and I've held many alt coins. I have applied for two different BTC debit cards and will learn more about their use in practice. Having one card that does not require a bank account, can be loaded with BTC and used at standard ATMs all over the world strikes me as very interesting. At least, until crypto ATMs become as ubiquitous, which I'm sure they will one day.
