i have been seeing lots of these so called "apps" that each do a different thing, they all have big ideas in their heads but they only seem good and never go anywhere.
in my opinion the biggest problem with this type of apps is that they think you need to make a new coin to do something that can already be done with bitcoin so they never succeed.
Exactly. None of these boutique coins will have the economy-of-scale to amount to anything more than a pump and dump.
no one wants to pay for anything any more unless it's from a zombie walled garden like itunes. that's the long and short of it pretty much.
That's really funny, and exactly what I was trying to say. lol.
Why pay for it when you could get it for free. Unless it was really unique and popular content, or something you really really want that you couldn't get anywhere else.
Like iTunes, and for me especially, e-books on kindle, audiobooks from audible, and the like.
Although my main concern, is if people would even be willing to pay for these digital goods considering all 'free downloads/piracy' going on in the net. I think people are accustomed to being able to get these e-books/mp3's for free. So demand could be low which would, in turn, affect the 'value' of the coin.
Users will not pay unless it is more efficient for them to pay than not pay.
