If we can raise BTC transaction fees to 50 cents or more we can make some good gains for the Monero holders. Monero has an adaptive blocksize, right?
gmaxwell, icebreaker, lauda and carlton would love monero to take over. which you know very well.
but sorry monero will not prosper. it just doesnt have the hundreds of thousands of retailer acceptance. nor the many other things that bitcoins infrastructure has
That's the unfortunate thing though. i can see there are dice sites intended for monero, someday monero will eventually be used by thousands of users.
The only i can see that hinders the progress is that every time monero rise for just $0.50, the bagholders suddenly dumps pulling the price down which discourages buyers at some point.
