Thank you smooth. No ill intentions on my part.

I think we need to do something. We have a lot of power as a community. We are not using that power effectively as far as I can see. Maybe I don't see everything though. That is why I am interested in learning about what others are thinking this is all about.

Are we just here to make a buck speculating on the cheapest smallest market cap? Or are we here to change the world?

What difference does it make if you profit enough to buy a new car here but the world goes to shit?

I don't understand our behavior.

I think the minimal digital footprint is a worthy goal. Give easier access to digital cash to those who can only afford, beg, borrow, share or steal devices with limited capacities and let them take part in the information economy. People in the jungles of South America or the rural areas of the Pacific deserve to have low cost solutions. Now, how to market it? Who knows? Is it at the level it can be used on simple devices? Would think simple wallets for android devices would follow that step.

Thanks for the reply.

I roughly calculate $10,000 to $25,000 per million users I can attain in the Philippines with that scaling out throughout Asia (not one penny of it going into my pocket... I am not asking funding...I have my own funding for the next months). I am talking about verified mobile phone numbers and active participation with verified accounts that existed before 2013 and are still active currently. With much human oversight to be sure the usership is composed of real, unique individuals.

It is insane the amount of money you all are wasting when we could easily solve this problem if we would just stop being so wasteful.

I am wondering what is your motivation here?

1. You all are just enjoying bragging rights and bitching contest against other shitcoins? A small microcosm fetish effect.

2. You all are in delusion thinking that Aeon or Monero could ever scale with absolutely no marketing plan whatsoever? Build it and they will come ostrich-head-in-sand effect.

I am not criticizing per se the technology. I am not saying smooth can't add some technology or that Monero doesn't have some technology. I am saying the planning is completely NONEXISTENT in terms of any level of significant adoption. And the technology focus is not on the development work you need to reach large scale adoption.

I am saying we are not leveraging smooth's energy to any where near his potential. When I see myself or smooth wasting even one iota of time commenting about logo shapes or criticizing shitcoins, I know we as a community are defeated.

I asked here to see what you all have to say. And I only get 2 replies, one from smooth and the other from generalizethis.

What is going on here? Are we only interested in nonsense?

I am trying to wake us up. Seems the drugs are too good.
