Trading on Counterparty is certainly not a breeze, with Bitcoin's long blocks.

Is CounterParty (XCP) severely undervalued?

yes

Not now anymore,  its in a bubble.
don't worry, it will come back down to earth soon. I think it has a chance to stay relevant for a long time, but they need to appeal to many more people first.
Counterparty's user base will not be the e-commerce end-consumer like with Bitcoin but the trader on wall street. You don't have to appeal to a mass here and still have huge value.

I'd encourage you to read the last three pages of this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=395761.msg9117646;topicseen#msg9117646 to form an opinion where it will go long term.

Everybody, there is an enormous amount of misinformation going around in the press. We're working to fix that ASAP. In the meantime, please help us correct errors as you see them!

For the record:

1) Overstock.com and Counterparty are partnering to build a platform (Medici) for trading stocks on Counterparty and using Counterparty's decentralized exchange.

2) I, along with Ouziel (JahPowerBit), will continue working on the Counterparty protocol full-time. Robby and Evan will continue to work on Counterparty full-time because Medici is a front-end for Counterparty.

The Wired and Coindesk articles make it sound as though we are abandoning this project. Nothing could be further from the truth!

Thank you,
Adam

Just crossposting a useful blog outlining some common misconceptions about the Counterparty platform.

12 Myths about CounterpartyXCP


Myth 1: Counterparty is just Bitcoin 2.0 marketing hype.

Myth 2: Counterparty’s internal currency, XCP, is just another alt-coin.

Myth 3: Counterparty is just another project where the developers want to get rich quick. They will just run away with the money.

Myth 4: Counterparty development is dead and nothing works yet.

Myth 5: Counterwallet stores your passphrase and private keys on their servers!

Myth 7: If Bitcoin can be used in Counterparty, then XCP doesn’t have value.

Myth 8: I want to create a poll on the Blockchain, but Counterparty doesn’t have a voting feature.

Myth 9: You can’t store XCP or assets in cold storage. There is no 2FA!

Myth 10: Counterparty is polluting the Bitcoin blockchain with useless data and weighing down the network. This is a “free ride” on top of Satoshis hard work!

Myth 11: Counterparty is missing multi-sig support.

Myth 12: Broadcast feed betting is centralized.

Counterparty has a great team and I am long term bullish!

Bitcoin is about the absolute ceiling for acceptable complexity in mainstream crypto.

Exactly. Even the complexity of Bitcoin is what prevents it from having wider adoption. People ask "what is Bitcoin?" and you can't really explain it properly without a mini-briefing of sorts.

Bitcoin needs to launch a campaign in which it can adequately compress its principles and functionality in a few short sentences that can be easily grasped by average Joe. Something that everyone can use in order to explain it to others.

2.0 coins are Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh Huh all over the place.

At this point of time Bitshares seems to have been pumped regardless, but I haven't seen any of the "small" players buying into it... they are all wondering "what does this do and why should I buy?" Large pumpers play this game and they'll wait and wait for the small money to arrive and it will never happen.

Bitcoin very briefly: Money and online banking, but without banks.
Bitcoin fairly briefly: Like online banking, but controlled by the people so you don't need to trust a bank and so bad banking practices can't bring the economy to its knees and put us all in debt again. Also it includes a kind of money that isn't created based on debt and usary like our normal money.

Also these 2.0 platforms don't need to be used by the general public to be very successful. Very few of the people I know use the traditional stock market, for example, but that's doing pretty well.

CounterParty does a lot of things right. They are my preferred platform right now because they allow BTC transactions and easy simple interfaces that everyone can use.

I think if they perfect the DEx and make BTC transactions go through 100% of the time, it could take off like bitsharesX at any moment.

I hope they keep development going strong.

I think the main issue here is that people do not see the potential of XCP feed based betting, and XCP trustless betting. They focus too much on the 'coin' and 'asset' aspects of it, that the ability to create and place your own bets with only a line of text goes unnoticed.

This functionality alone is mind-boggling.
