This only makes sense if you'd like to attract silly speculators and mathematical cripples to the community. Let them migrate to NXT and Dogecoin. Those folks make no contribution whatever.
While I see your point and understand where you're coming from, I can't agree with you one bit.
The fact they are buying coins is a very strong contribution to the development efforts. A lost opportunity for Mastercoin. Doge Coin will soon surpass MSC market cap. What a joke that will be.
You guys need to get a good marketing guy on board. Marketing efforts have been very poor so far. Thank god for Ron's presentations otherwise very few would have heard about Mastercoin.
Exactly. Maybe you could say that 99% of people are stupid, but I for one, still want their money. (I know I'll get quoted on that some day). Personally I don't think they are stupid, it's just a mental shortcut. The same way we buy things for 9.99 instead of 10. It's not stupidity, it's the mental shortcuts that the vast majority of humans make every day because they aren't computers and just want to skip to the fun stuff and stop taking things so deadly serious.
Yes I want to attract the mathematical cripples, and you should too. Gambling is for mathematical cripples, but it's damn good business and it will incentivise the mathematical geniuses to make something even more genius for which the mathematical cripples will bring even more money. The point of bitcoin is to make the world a better place through math. It's not to make the world a better place just for people who are good at math.
Indeed and more and more people these days shy away from technical studies and go with humanist shit. That's the reality. A mastercoin with just few math and cryptogeeks would be a pretty sad and lonely coin. Get that people?
A coin needs to be inclusive rather than exclusive to be successful.
