Topic: Is Bitcoin like McDonald's, and altcoins are like coffee houses? - page 2. (Read 1340 times)

We are talking about economics and consumer choice, not about "parachuting or river rafting", these things are irrelevant for sure.

The Experience Economy: Work Is Theater & Every Business a Stage is a well-known book and "the experience economy" is the concept of economics and marketing.

"Companies of all kinds are finally realizing that your experience, whether it be in the dressing room, at the cashier, on the website, or on the phone, greatly influences your purchasing behavior."

Thank you anyway for your opinion but I would be really grateful if you didn't just say "WRONG" but explain why it is wrong in your opinion, so that I could argue. That is how any discussion goes and I think I've posted this topic in a proper section "Altcoin Discussion".

Lol, seriously?

I think your analogy has some interesting thoughts to it. and could be expanded upon more


i am sorry for people on the forum who just like to hate.

Completely agree. This thread is so wrong I had to comment.


An "experience" is something like parachuting or river rafting, something that people experience rather than own or do.

Altcoins and the OP are not even related to this.

This thread is a FAIL, lock it and move on to something else since it should die on it's own anyway.

That's one of the worst analogies ever

Yes, I know, altcoins are not mainstream now.
I'd like to share with you idea that came to my mind today in a process of discussing with GODLIKE.

You want to eat? McDonald's is everywhere, it is implemented into market, cheap and fast food, you can buy a coffee or ice cream there,
many customers are loving it, why do we need all these Starbucks, cafes, or restaurants?
Let it be McDonald's everywhere, no hunger, triumph of freedom!

We can compare altcoins with restaurants or coffee houses, when Bitcoin is like McDonald's... (queues, crowding, noisiness, no available tables sometimes)  long synchronizing, block size problems, but lite fast versions (similar to fast food) are here to help you, everything is stable, reliable, and many customers trust and love it!
McDonald's has great market capitalization and it is successful business.

I read old bitcoin discussions sometimes, and first BTC adopters often had been asked: why do we need BTC, if we have usd banknotes (private, usable, accepted everywhere)? How we are tired of your bitcoins! Nobody will use them! Why do we need them, if we have instant mobile payments and other good common payment methods?

Today we are hearing these words regarding altcoins, only instead of usd banknotes people point BTC.

The experience economy theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Experience_Economy

A core argument is that because of technology, increasing competition, and the increasing expectations of consumers, services today are starting to look like commodities.

The classification for each stage in the evolution of products is:
A commodity business charges for undifferentiated products.
A goods business charges for distinctive, tangible things.
A service business charges for the activities you perform.
An experience business charges for the feeling customers get by engaging it.
A transformation business charges for the benefit customers (or "guests") receive by spending time there.

An experience business is what we have when we deal with altcoins. Features, similar to Bitcoin generally, but different communities, different development, different FEELING.

Bitcoin is great but boring, if it is alone,
is it just me, or do you think so, too?
