yes, we really need to find an advocate that is a writer and can pump UNO up for what it is. Or, get listed on an exchange like BTC-e that has fewer well-known strong coins?
i think it's not impossible for uno to be traded on btc-e one day. If interest really sparks up on a higher cap like i mentioned in the last post they could very well add it.
I agree. We can get Un traded wherever we want to trade it. That's not to say it will be easy, but it can be done. Making a reasonable argument backed by a business model that shows it will be worth their while... exchanges are businesses, they listen to common sense.
It may be that we don't need 7 or 9 or 11 exchanges with Uno. A coin this rare may be best served by 3 great exchanges, rather than 11 so-so exchanges. As someone who often works as a market marker, I see the danger of spreading rare Un too thin.
The exchange landscape changes so quickly; this time next year, who knows which will be the top one.
The next 6 months will see a huge shake out of coins. Each "batch" of coins spawns a few winners and many losers. Only a handful of Sha256 coins have moved forward and Un is one. A gigantic number of Scrypt coins will continue to shake out and a few of those winners will carry forward. So it will be with the anon coins, and each algo. The market is wary of anything that can't hold a community, and weary of unfulfilled "next big thing" promises. Most coins are simply done shortly after they hit exchanges.
Remember a few months ago when Auroracoin was worth more than LTC, and Uno was #50 on coinmarketcap?
Today Auroracoin is #102 and Un is #50. Just look at the list... Cinni, Sexcoin... on and on. There are dozens, perhaps a hundred coins today that once had market caps that dwarfed Uno, which that have since slid below Uno. I'm not trying to gloat... it's just a fact. Some coins hold their positions longer than others. Bad things could happen to Uno, but I think it's different.
Why is Uno different? Part of what's cool about Un to me is it's simplicity. When you own 1 un, you know what you've got. Accumulating Uno is a game, isn't it? It's just fun to buy Uno and watch your wallet climb the ranks on the richlist. It's a club. It's closely held for the most part, like a private corporation; very few shares are publicly traded. It's exclusive, but friendly. There's only so much, and there's very, very little more of it that will be created. It's the $100 bill of altcoins. It's a small neighborhood in the nice part of town. The Uno community isn't a bunch of assholes, and for the most part are long timers who want to see it hold it's place on the crypto landscape. It's rare, a commodity. It's also my weird nerd hobby and I'm enjoying with it. Why not have fun with your money.
If I want to have crypto to throw away as tips or to fund a loser bobsled team, I'll use Doge, not Uno.
If I want to buy nasty porn on the dark web (I don't, by the way) I'll use Darkcoin.
If I want to appear trendy and hip, I'll use my phone to buy coffee with Bitcoin (although I fear the possible tax implications).
If I want to own something closer to gold that's rare, a fixed known quantity with low inflation and which also fun to accumulate, I'll own uno.
That's just me talking, and I'm one small voice. There's probably lots of other great reasons to own Un.
What do you like about Uno? Why do you hang here?
