Seems like a good time for me to chime in here. Maybe a year ago I used to hear this sort of thing about Ripple, that somehow Ripple and Monetas were competitors. But we are not, since our software does different things. This will become much more evident as our software rolls out.
The same is true of Blockstream. If you generalize enough, you can find some sort of overlap and then assume we must be competitors. But the reality is that no one else is building what Monetas is building, and no one else will be able to do the things that our software does.
That's nothing negative on Blockstream, it's just different -- that's all. Anyone who thinks there is competition between us lacks an understanding of what we're building and how we plan to monetize it.
I've mainly ignored the massive storm of flotsam and jetsam in the crypto-currency sphere for other interests but just spent a few minutes looking at Monetas due to entries in this thread.
I must say, it kinda seems like Monetas (or whatever) is kind of targeting the big Kahuna. That is, to
BE Bitcoin on the basis of having a better implementation in bctd (and I would not doubt that they do.)
If that ends up coming to pass then ya, the world would truly be your oyster and I one could certainly say "
no one else will be able to do the things that our software does."
