Not just you, I typically care little about alts because bitcoin is functionally "the reserve currency" of cryptos.
Dark is first to market with a feature much clamored for. Others may state "any coin can do that if they want", the fact is they aren't and by that logic bitcoin would be worthless because there are clones. First to market is key.
Dark also seems to have some competent organization behind it, which is rare.
The user base won't be just the drug world and pedo's, but people who are into crypto because they believe in the political promise. Built-in anonymity is a huge component in achieving these ends.
The government is useless to stop it, you're a fool if you fear the effects of a ban-hammer... the government can't even keep drugs out of prison.
Lastly, stupid and useless coins go places all the time, that should build confidence in a coin that actually has some utility over bitcoin.
The tech is good, the devs are smart. The result is bad.
The gov could crush crypto as we know it like an ant.China just suggested they didn't like it much and bitcoin fell like a stone.
The US gov says it is banned and persons using will be treated as money launderers. BTC = $1If you don't believe the btc team or ltc team couldn't do the same thing.... you are wrong. They do not want to because they know it would be a big move backwards in terms of mainstream usage and acceptance.
Let's wait and see. However i think you know really how this will play out. The hype over dark currency will be short lived for most. I am saying drk is at the peak or near it's peak. Lets see if i am correct or not.
It's very funny to read people from the US that think the world is ONLY the US, with the issues, problems, and debates of the US rich people.
The fact is now a lot of goverments in the world work AGAINST their own people. In fact some of they KILL their own people:
- Think about gay people in uganda or russia
- People opression in nepal, china, etc..
- Women Human rights in some countries of the middle east
- Oposition in Iran, palestinians in occupied territories in palestine, etc..
It is not about pedo or porn or drugs, Darkcoin is a weapon to people who are working against their systems.
For me Darkcoin (and future true anoncoins) will be a way to move resources without the big brother eye of the goverments.
And NO, YOUR goverment can't crush crypto. They don't have the power that we have.
