Of course, artificial intelligence is now relevant, let us recall the success of the AGI. Nevertheless, due to what the project specified by you can give growth? If they give out many tokens for free, then people will start selling them for any money!
True, AI is big now and everybody is jumping on the bandwagon to use it. Though we are deviating from the main topic started by the thread author, apologies for that, here's what I found some factors that could lead to marineco.ín's growth:
a> The AI is designed to control the airdrop flow and maintain the blockchain. The dev said in a Discord discussion once that he (or, she?) does not want human greed or emotion to take control of the coin which could result in the devs having most of the control over it. So the AI comes in to prevent this.
b> The transaction times are truly lightning fast with nil fees. I tested it once with 20k -MTCs- and it got transferred in seconds at 0 fees. The dev says that the coin will be popular if it can be distributed among as many people as possible as they will then be able to experience these speeds and fees and in turn recommend it to others (network effect). Total supply is 10 Bn. 95% being distributed through airdrop. Pretty rad!
c> Low miner payoff. GPUs and ASICs won't help mining farms get control of majority of coins.
There are other points too like the project being ideally suited for transaction between IoT devices, collaborative community members working on a volunteer sourced whitepaper, building DApps on the platform etc.
