Actually a unified wallet would be awesome.
One wallet, a graphical bitcoin wallet that has skins/themes ability.
Then all the marketer/hype people can go wild making umpteen themes/skins addressing different demographics and niche markets and so on, yet all are totally compatible because under the hood they are all really just different names for bitcoin...

Is there anything preventing the current bitcoin wallet from being skinned? Or any of the alternatives?
I think the real point of a unified wallet was to store every single kind of crypto currency. Sort of like how coin exchanges allow you to have multiple types of currencies at once.
we need a crypto currency that has a value of 1:1 with an existing fiat currency
Well funnily enough then we are on EXACTLY the same wavelength as the existing portfolio has some of the best key generic currency domains on the planet like JPYcoin.com, RubleCoin.com AEDcoin.com, and this is exactly where my project is heading for the 'bigger picture'. I missed USDcoin.com and CNYcoin.com but still picked up USDcoins.com and CNYcoins.com for when this convergence takes place and to feed traffic into my main project.
From your last post I think you'd be very excited to know the full extent of the portfolio and realise that our thoughts on where crypto is heading are spookily in tandem.
The reason I was asking about your main passion is this is a good place to begin, but you went straight for the jugular and identified the exact direction I am already heading
That's pretty interesting actually. Who knew. I think there are too many problems involved in this still to make it a project but I do like that we had similar ideas. I will keep thinking of things I want a crypto currency to do but almost all of them come back to the keyhotee model that is going to be used by bitshares. Bitshares are the evolution of protoshares and I think you might like some of the concepts. I will keep contemplating though.
This is like offering a yellow Dollar bill which can only be used to by bananas. Why would I want to use that instead of a regular dollar bill?
As crypto becomes more mainstream and general public adopt it dollar bills are going to eventually have little or no value, it will be the successful trusted crypto brands that will be successful.
I think this is a dangerous assumption. I see a world where crypto currencies and current currencies live side by side until one system crashes. It seems that the assumption of most people is that fiat currencies will eventually run themselves into the ground. I believe too many wealthy influential people are too invested in the current system to just abandon it or let it run into the ground. JP morgan decided that we would have a fiat currency to fix the problems of his day. He was a very wealthy and influential man, so much so he was able to remove the gold standard in the US basically by himself. Who is to say there are not groups of people with near as much influence in this modern day and age?
