Give me network effect and market cap first, then I can hire all the developers I need to take out whatever geek coin you're working on. Tongue

There is only one coin with network effect and market cap that eclipses all the others into insignificance. It is USD.

Exactly. And the usership of Bitshares is of those who aren't investors? 3 people (Manny, Moe, and Curly)?

You do realize Bitshares is a small part of my portfolio, around 6%, right? BTC has a huge network effect compared to all alternative cryptocurrencies and is why I am ~50% in Bitcoin. You guys telling me that you will break Bitcoin's network effect because USD has the ultimate network effect is blasphemous. Something can be very successful even though it is not adopted by everyone. We live in a large world with a large population. Yet, Bitcoin's network effect compared to all alt cryptocurrencies combined dwarfs them.

But any way, I don't think it works that way at all. If someone creates something that is a revolution, then everyone has an incentive. If not revolutionary, then it is a big yawn any way.

It doesn't work that way. It takes much more than one developer or an idea (or, in your case... ramblings on an internet forum...) to start a revolution. There are many revolutionary technologies that exist, yet most of them will die and not ever be very widely used. Either because better technology comes along and you don't evolve (Kodac), better politics (hddvd vs bluray), or better marketing (Apple.) You claim to have A figured out, I have an inkling that you really suck at politics, and the jury is out as to how well your marketing scheme will work.
