cash-less doesn't mean it will be replaced by cryptocurrencies. and it certainly doesn't mean no government control. and making it into a long wallet of text, bolding and coloring it won't change that!
cash-less means we are going to move on to digital form instead. what we use is not going to change, but only the shape of it. in other words we will still be using the same fiat that we have used for hundreds of years but now with credit cards, with our cell phones, with cryptocurrencies which are centralized and issued by the government and represent the same fiat.
and your title is completely irrelevant to all this.

This topic makes no sense to me at all. Topics like these are a very big spoiler for Bitcoin. You see no future at all, cause you’re too blind to see. How can you be using drug dealers, porn and illegal business as reference. Such does not promote Bitcoin, it will make people see Bitcoin as a ponzi and as something that is only being used by criminals and drug dealers and porn addicts. You all should always try to make use of your senses when posting stuffs like this. By the way, real currencies are the future and you can’t change that.
I agree. It touches too many points without having a clear structure. It would be more interesting if OP talked about cashless society, porn, ICOs etc. shorter and better structure. The points are interesting, but the writing is bad.

“By 2025, even drug dealers won’t take cash.”
“ In 2014, we entered a new world.
For the first time in history, card and contactless payments
overtook cash transactions.
South Korea is planning on going cash-free by 2020..
Apple´s CEO Tim Cook says,
“the next generation will not even know what money is”
The death of cash is the result of a plan – to cede control of money
away from the banks and governments, and place it instead in the
hands of the new players:
tech companies.
This plan was hatched as the result of an experiment to prove
something blindingly obvious to anyone who has ever used cash,
but is also an observable neurological process:
SPENDING CAUSES ACTUAL PAIN.
When we pay with cash, neural pathways light up like a Christmas tree.”
“So in creating a payment system that eradicates cash,
we eliminate neural pain – the flinch moment –
and open the brain to limitless spending.
This is, what is going to be.
The future is cashless.
The future is crypto.
We know it,
we see it,
we live it.
“The porn industry makes more money
than the Major League Baseball,
The NFL and The NBA combined.”
We know porn is big.
“According to various reports, at present,
the porn industry’s net worth is about $97 billion.
This is enough to feed at-least 4.8 billion people a day.
Every year, Hollywood releases roughly 600 movies and makes $10 billion in profit.
And how much porn does the industry make?
13,000 films and close to $15 billion in profit.”

Porn is big.. and boring.
As long as you´re not the one who profits from it.
Or at least until you’ve heard about LEONS.
..
“There were over eight thousand separate currencies in operation in the US alone. Different banks, railroads and retailers all had their own form of money: bonds, exchange systems, numerous forms of credit, by the 1860s.
The National Bank Act of 1863 tried to end this fragmented chaos and unify the United States under one currency: the dollar.
With the end of cash, the world of eight thousand currencies is returning.
Mobile money, bitcoin, digital vouchers, Apple Pay, iTunes, exchangeable shop credits, everything from overseas currency transfers to billion-dollar deals with the digital handshake of blackchain. All of it is money.”
I know there are plenty of ICOs, hundreds per month, maybe per week even..
Many adult coins, porn tokens. Some market their teams, some a few nice pics, some - alpha versions of their platforms, many are intended for use on web cam sites, many claim to be the one coin for the entire or a big part of the adult industry.
I wish each of them good luck.. but I know.. Many of them will fail.
“From July 1 through September 25th 2017, 51 ICOs launched with high hopes, yet failed to meet their own objectives. These represented an astounding 59% failure rate for all ICOs during that time period.”
* https://hackernoon.com/most-icos-fail-tale-of-two-worlds-d1ab7625ff66
Check this one: “What Percentage of ICOs Fail?” by Charles Bovaird:
https://medium.com/rightmesh/why-most-ico-projects-will-fail-hint-it-is-not-why-you-think-a56e25b1902b
BUT check this one, too, from Business Insider UK:
http://www.businessinsider.de/ico-mangrove-capital-average-returns-crypto-icos-2017-10?r=UK&IR=T
“No wonder investors are rushing into cryptocurrencies — average ICO returns are 1,320%”
So, there is failure, but there is big return chance as well.
About failure, About what we have done, what we already have at hand and what area we are speaking of, what I can say and believe is, LEONS will not fail.
Still, it depends on the support of the people: You.
If you like the idea, concept, what I, with my team, have done, what I do, what I try to accomplish, if we can show you, prove to you, if you want to join in, support it, all will be great. More than we can imagine, today.
You can follow on the site all progress closely: www.leonscoin.com by checking the roadmap and the latest news and developments.
At the moment, we are mainly focusing on the ICO, to make it successful and can use all the support we can get.
We will go step by step but with every step taken things will go bigger, faster and smoother.
The second thing, is to roll out an alpha version, even with limited and basic functions, but still working on the blockchain, giving access to the platform to the people who supported us, LEONS owners, investors, to show them that we are already working and to make them participate in the whole thing, live, as we intended in the first place. The ideas, even with the support from programmers and investors might be, or anybody from cameraman, to post production, can and could be involved in new content producing, too, as we will be releasing new content, especially for the sites which were and are labeled as “coming soon”. (Some LEON Sites, LEONS.WORLD sites had and have already created “members areas” and have original exclusive content. Some sites have raw materials, shootings, videos, pictures, like days` of 100s of TBs raw content from cameras to stored, some sites have shooting plans written and many things arranged, like IBIZA ROX (www.ibizarox.com), or Queen of Mallorca (www.queenofmallorca.com) , and PreCum Challenge`s (www.precumchallenge.com) later steps must be shot at their places)
LEONS will be a game-changer.
I believe, personally, in that stage, we will be unbeatable with the real and solid support from many different sources and the real work about the platform will have a boost with new hires and new joins. In addition, as the content of LEONS would already be shareable, viewable, “usable” for early investors, they can start participating in other areas like the “mining” and or “posting” their own content. That will be great.
Then, at the same time, we will be able to list the token on exchanges as we will have the solid support from our backers, to make LEONS, into a coin which is exchangeable, buyable and sellable, like other alt coins.
Porn has potential.
Damon Brown says:
““It seems so obvious: if we invent a machine, the first thing we are going to do — after making a profit — is use it to watch porn.”
We invented blockchain, and the future is Crypto.
If there’s a way for the hosting problem to be solved, if there’s a way for the content to be regulated by its own creators, if everybody could join the system from their own computer, smart phone, wherever he or she is, that would change everything.
Now, this is possible.
That would be a merge similar to when smart phones merged the phone with music players, and the camera, calendar, calculator, and then they merged our contacts, bringing our friends, us, together, live and now we cannot picture a reality without these features… but if you would ask a person about these 20 years ago, they wouldn`t know what they are missing.
Now, it’s the same with adult entertainment.
We have blockchain, we have porn, we have the bandwidth, unused disk spaces, we have cloud systems, we have content but we cannot go into this, as investors or producers, or even as idea owners, or just people who want to be a part of it, and contribute to it.
Only a few people and companies have access and to me, it seems like they will repeat the same things, as long as it works. It`s like “cable phones”, it was working for years. It`s still working but the smart phone revolution, social media, us, we changed the whole thing.
We need that change in adult industry.
Whoever can do the merge, whoever can bring a platform, on which you can enjoy porn, be a part of it without revealing your identity, whoever brings cashless but direct join rights, without middlemen to the end user, who can be the real contributor into the system, will own the future.
We can do it.
We will do it.
Your Leon,
Leon Lambert
