Here is what I think so far:

• Strong team
• Well-executed product
• Seems like strong community
• PoG is a pretty good idea

My only concern now is really about timing.  Many of us here are crypto fans, and have been watching bitcoin a long time.  And, there has been a lot of growth in users in the last 12 months, but I think most of them are investors, not "daily users."

So I am wondering -- when will crypto "go mass market?"  Or maybe, "will crypto ever go mass market?"  If the answer here is "no", then of course it means trouble for all cryptos.

Merit seems to be on the right track in making it easier.   If it continues its growth, but not just for the sake of investment, but actually for usage, then I think this project could be very well positioned.
