It's clear that every developer and team behind project want to make their own coin more and more popular but what they do for it? Lately as I see everyone tries to create dice website specially for their own coin.
What do you think, is this good strategy? Why don't they try to make shopping website which only supports their coin? Or something similar of ebates? Why only dice when there is huge demand on shops too.
They might not gain much of popularity through shopping site, because when it comes to shopping site, it requires the sales of products. Some of these coins have similar products they offer and all trying to get the attention of the same customer.
The only thing a particular project can do using a shopping site to gain popularity is to create such coin and partner with already existing shopping sites but I doubt if anyone of them will accept since Bitcoin is still the most accepted coin, so they will rather deal with BTC than any other coin. The only option still left is to create a dice website.
Moreover, there are already lots of online shopping sites that accepts only cryptocurrency as a mode of payment, but how many of them have you seen are successful yet ? Okay, maybe Overstock and Purse.io, but others are not. So if all coins are going to be focusing on that, trust me it is not going to work. For any project that they are working on to be successful they will have to put their focus on creating a project that is very unique. There are already lots of copied projects and we don’t need anymore of that.
