Are all the ups and downs, bad news, poorly reported unfactual news, and the rest of the drama starting to bore people? Will they ever become bitcoin believers or will another currency that has done everything right from the start sweep in and take the prize in a "winner takes all" move? Perhaps bitcoin isn't the digital currency that these journalists should be writing books on.
My money is on the later. DNotes is still the only one I see in the position to do so. Many of the other coins are focusing on small niches. Here is one I couldn't wrap my head around, maybe someone can explain it to me.

I'm sure some of you have seen the article on cryptocoinnews. It caught my attention because I am interested in preserving the rain forest, and the rain forest foundation themselves are involved. What I can't understand is how creating a currency will help them achieve the goal of replanting the rain forest. The best I can come up with is they are the only ones that have the bitseeds to start, and you have to buy them directly from the rainorest foundation. If that's the case, what will make them worth anything? I almost emailed them, but it sounds like a good cause and I didn't want to come across like I was interfering or against it.
