The "next level" of adoption comes from third-party integrations and services that actually bring utility to the currency. A bundled GUI doesn't deliver any compelling new use cases, and won't result in any new adoption outside of Bitcointalk users and their close relatives.
With all due respect, what you're saying is
crazy.Of
course a bundled GUI will result in new adoption. You can't just assume that everyone knows how to use terminal....
they don't.The userbase associated with a $1B marketcap is not the same userbase as a cabal of niche crypto-developers who take certain technological fundamentals for granted.
It should also be patently obvious that an easy-to-use GUI gives confidence to third-parties who may be mulling over integration.
