Hi,
what makes this coin special?
Thanks!
No empty promises is the biggest thing that makes this coin stand out. Limited supply of coins, only 250k Uno will exist, the last 50k being mined out over 300 years or so. It was a fair launch when it made it's debut, no ninja launches starting on block 10k for Uno. The first blocks were a really low reward as well to give people even more of an opportunity to mine the coin fairly. The latest thing is the merged mining which allows the power of the btc network, well some of it anyway, to support the Uno chain.
There are plenty of coins out there that say they are doing X, Y, and Z. Or at least plan to and yet they go no where. Uno is a stable platform on which to build upon.
The coin has not lost value if you held it, that right there is what makes Uno the most special.
It's simplicity is what makes it shine the brightest for me. The community is awesome and that is another major draw. Lots of people devoting a lot of their time to different projects that all utilize Uno and in turn add REAL value to Uno instead of it just being a digital token for fiat, lookin at you bitcoin.
The more i looked into btc the cooler crypto seemed, but then again you have the bitcoin foundation which is acting like some type of central authority for bitcoin, no better than the banks, just a matter of time before btc devolves into another tool for the actuaries to use to manufacture wealth for all their buddies. That left me longing for something more. That, and when i entered cryptoville btcs valuation was around 1200 bucks. Major losses if i had invested in btc then. What made more sense was to invest in hardware to mine btc and other coins to diversify my risk in case btc did what it did. Granted none of it really panned out all too well, except for my time spent with Uno.
If you consider any of this an 'investment' you are going to be sorely disappointed in the short term. If you can hold out ten years who knows lol. What makes an investment an investment and not a gamble? If it pays off it was an investment, if you lose on it, it was a gamble? Half empty, half full, who knows. What i do know is that i have been 'all in' on Uno for the last 3 or so months after xmr finally spiked again and i managed to exit.
If you want a coin with a lot of promises check this out:
https://www.ethereum.org/ether They did a massive presale and raised a TON of money almost a year ago now. Look at how well THAT project is doing. Overly ambitious perhaps. Or just a flat out lie. Either way, it happened. "The sale lasted 42 days, starting on July 22nd and ending at 23:59 Zug time September 2, and collected a total of 31531 BTC, worth $18,439,086 at the time of the sale, in exchange for about 60102216 ETH. " 18 million bucks for a website and some good ideas. But yeah, if you read about it, it all seems VERY promising, still, it is just empty promises until it arrives and you can use it.
That being said, it isn't really about what it is that makes Uno so special, rather what it isn't, that makes it stand out. The uses for Uno are limited only to the depths of the human mind.
or something along those lines. It is paraphrased but i do remember Blazr saying something to that extent and me thinking "what an asshole" but that was when i was new to crypto. Before i got burnt out on all the shenanigans and scams. When i was young and naive. lol I know now what he meant. It is cool that people have a lot of ambitious plans for these cryptographic currencies that exist. I think most of them will never happen, or there is just no market for them. There is no demand for what is being offered, and often times it appears to be just a cash grab by greedy individuals. 
Too bad!
