Some Big Picture Thoughts
Firstly, this is a good read:
http://www.nasdaq.com/article/its-q4-2016-so-where-is-bitcoins-consumer-demand-cm685512It’s a to and fro concerning the pros and cons of a range of coins.
What are Uno’s pros and cons? The community is v. small. There is no development programme as such. The dice have been rolled on the ‘crypto commodity’ thang. The price has been dropping for over a year, and the impact of the Cryptsy coins remains ahead of us.
So, how do we ‘sell’ Unobtanium? Absolutely unavoidably first is:
the price stops falling (price against Bitcoin. Fiat price is irrelevant.). We can’t support the price; it’s gotta stop goin’ down on its own.
Then we have to differentiate ourselves against Bitcoin
et al. Roger Ver’s suggestion that ‘multiple Bitcoin’s’ is a good idea has reverberated. Good ol’ 1.0 Bitcoin now faces the same future as evil ol’ 2.0 Ether. We’ve started hearing the term ‘clean blockchain’ – that’s us. (We can deal with bloat and whatever else down the track: we have a competent dev.)
And there’s still years of Bitcoin ‘inflation’ to go. Against that, Uno’s supply really is getting’ ‘tight.’
And that’s our pitch:
Unobtanium is rare in the sense of few units incoming. It’s established, and its block chain is lean and clean. It doesn’t face any drama in coming years.
Simple and solid.One Final Thought:
this community needs to forthwith stop treating Falling Knife like [EDIT: a lackey]. He has worked and worked and worked for this coin:
Bitcointalk thread, Cryptocointalk thread, Reddit thread, researching the Cryptsy drama, managing the merged-mining debate, liaising with devs and others, c e a s e l e s s l y providing the daily content that keeps a coin alive, researching the technical data on mining, participating in community projects.
