Define innovation, please.
Respecting Unobtanium this means: How can you argue, that everybody needs Unobtanium? What it is unique characteristic?
At the moment, nobody needs it, one
can invest in Unobtanium, but it is not evident.
You also could invest into another coin, e.g. Ether, Nxt-environment, who have innovative and exciting ideas! Others are also rare, fair... etc...
I'm not sure, the developers of Uno are able or willing to add any innovation.
So what is the masterplan? Waiting until the price would (maybe) raise?
I would love to hear what everyone else thinks. My opinion is just that... my opinion, and it's not any better than anyone elses'.
But the way I see it, everybody doesn't need Uno. Not everybody needs gold & silver, either. And besides, there isn't enough Unobtanium for everybody.
If our goal is to pump up the price and then dump on latecomers, then a centralized product roadmap with some amazing promises that are year or two down the road is a great way to go. There are so many coins that have gone this route, I won't even name them.
If we want to go that route (which I don't), it would be easier to just clone an old failed project and take a huge pre-mine, ostensibly to hire a great unnamed development team. To save even more money and time, we would paste the old roadmap and promises that people bought into before, then create some newbie accounts on BCT. We'd create a new logo, though. Something really impressive. Rinse and repeat.
While I'd love to see great new features and services washing up on Uno's shores, there's very little work being done in crypto that isn't open source, and which couldn't be copied by a motivated dev later, and forked into Uno. Cryptapus, god bless 'em, has brought many of these projects and services to Uno.
The innovation baked into Uno at birth can't be taken away.
Back in 2013, Blazr2 had the crazy idea, "Hey what would happen if I launched a coin that is the opposite of all the shite being launched right now? What if it was fair, fast to realize low inflation, not a scam, and what if were scarce. It's hard to believe that fairness could be considered an innovation (someday, maybe wallstreet will learn from Uno and its customer's the innovation of fairness... not holding my breath tho).
To me, fair-launch, rare, low inflation Uno is valuable because it's Unobtanium, and precisely because it is NOT a lot of the other things that are out there. There are zero empty promises with Uno. It's value today is exactly what it's value is today, and not what it will be after Xyz Dev releases the cool update that will integrate phone sex with the wallet in two years.
Unobtanium is not valuable because of a promise someone else has made. Nor is it valuable because it's backed by some centralized resource. It's not valuable because it's backed by cow piss (sorry URO) or beer (KOL). It's also not a share in the promise of a precious metal stored in some mysterious centralized vault (sorry BIG).
To me, Uno is the first viable cryptocommodity. It is (and will be) the best way to transport large amounts of wealth internationally. The longer the rockchain persists, the more valuable it's story, like a rare gold Roman coin moving through history, desired more for it's connection with the past than the present value of gold. With it's low inflation and no pre-mine, Uno is the only viable cryptocurrency that's worth holding simply for what it is. Yes, someone clever can come along and append all manner of features to it, or just bring those features over from other coins, but cool features and empty promises don't make Uno valuable.
IMZ sees a real need for merchant acceptance and introducing Uno to a broader audience. I totally agree that in a world of 1000 cryptos screaming for attention, introducing someone one-to-one to Uno is a great way to spread. And Uno is instantly transferrable, so why not embrace merchants who will accept it. As I see it, the main problem we have today is that there's no oxygen in the room for all of the screaming crypto.
Part of what we have to do is fundamentally very basic: continue to exist. Continue to develop the community (even a small community can have a massive impact on price and usefulness of Uno).
Cryptos are being born and dying every day. But anyone who is looking for viable long term cryptos capable of withstanding the test of time, Uno has to be on the short list. That list is getting shorter every month.
Would love to hear what you think.
