The digital currency/asset market, especially Bitcoin is gaining wider attention. Even though places to exchange fiat for cryptocurrencies are growing in numbers there are only a few of them that are reliable. A much faster means to reach mass adoption has come from somewhere else. The perfect use cases are “airdrops” and “coins for actions programs”.
“Slipping money into someone’s pocket is a powerful way to get their attention.”
Spencer Bogart, a partner at San Francisco-based Blockchain Capital
Not only these programs give the potential to earn “free” money for the end-users but also gives them the opportunity to test and learn about the underlying ecosystem technology powering the token. Isn’t that the way all this Bitcoin mania began? A small group of people transferring bitcoin to each other, experimenting with the concept of transferring borderless money in few minutes. Let’s remember that not only cryptos fluctuate in value like financial assets, but unlike financial assets, they can be used to enable digital ecosystems in this way they are usable or utile!
I am sharing a list of pioneers that support the idea that mass adoption will come from a combination of education, gamification and rewards. Please share your thoughts and opinions and complete the list with the other initiatives that aren't listed here.
