BTW OS2 was far superior to windows and lost do to IBM overpricing at launch as well.
Again, those are products (based on similar tech). Everyone agrees that an inferior product with better marketing can be more commercially successful.
I think bobabouey2's point is that affordable pricing follows adoption. Early LCD panels are a good example.
But let's not pointlessly argue.
No, instead, let pointfully recognize how friggin awesome Monero is.
I mean I still don't get peoples hurdle to it. Then again, I talk to people that don't get Bitcoin, so its not that far of stretch to imagine that monero is impossible to understand.
I mean, how did the Internet become popular? Its a set of protocols, and the protocols provide information. People apparently love information. Can;t get enough of it.
Cryptocurrencies are different though. Its a similar breakthrough in protocol and ability - but much like the original software was possibly never imagined to do the things its doing now, wtf will monero be doing?
