If we don't get involved and don't get the currency adopted then we are just playing with tulips. Money is worth something because it can be used. It doesn't matter how advanced the algorithm is if nobody will accept your coins.
haven't read the article. but the hope for cryptos is that we all use the most advanced coin...
the problem is, that doesn't always happen. VHS vs Betamax is a good example. VHS was more popular, but Betamax would have been much better and more usable.
That is true. I didn't want to diminish the importance of the coin being technologically advanced, I was just pointing that the other part is also necessary. In fact I think that the other part is more difficult to achieve because you need more people and assets that are not always under your control (public opinion, regulation, news, merchants...).
BTW, fully agree about video, VHS sucked!
