Do you know why Linux hasn't superseded Windows, despite being a superior product? Because Linux is not easy, is not necessary for the average customer, and Linux does not inherently make them feel important or carry status with it. Monero can't afford to be Linux. You can get on the anti-Apple bandwagon all you want (I'll agree with you in many ways), but their marketing is the fuck on point.

I agree...

But the most important thing for a coin to succeed and to be adopted by all users and shops (on internet or real street store), is at first : to have a complete payment confirmation in less than 10 seconds, ideally 5.

That depends on your target market. Are you just trying to reach people who are buying coffee and donuts or are you trying to reach and deal with people who want to buy medium to large size items in terms of price/value?

Cars, real estate, motorcycles, heavy machinery, servers, precious metals, etc.

No one would accept 5-10 second flimsy confirmations knowing how the blockchain technology works. You could have your money/things stolen by double spending problem.

Exactly... I think that there will need to be/there will be 3 cryptos that will run everything in the future.

1) Bitcoin: because it is the first one, and will be used as the "gold standard" of cryptos. Or like the petro dollar in some cases, where all other currencies will be compared to for value purposes. I think people will still transact in bitcoins, but will mostly be used as a stock that steadily over time increases in value over the years (quite figuratively and literally "digital gold")

2) Monero: for big transactions. Large purchases that require heavy security (Cars, boats, real estate, etc. etc.)

3) Litecoin: Fast, everyday transactions for your coffee, movie tickets, restaraunts, that sort of thing. (I've read that eMunie might even bring about an ever faster transaction time... but it hasn't been released yet and the devs are still working on the coin/code)

Until someone else comes up with some other coin that brings about a completely different functional use, which I don't really see happening, then I think those coins will dominate the future global currency scene in the years to come.
