Everyone does realize that you can use POT on many different websites to purchase everything from shoes and sunglasses to pipes. If you say what is the point of this coin when banks are allowing debit/CC or there is mediswipe, then what is the point of having BTC or DOGE. The whole point of POT is to make it cheaper for not only dispensaries but head shops and online retailers. They use this coin and save on fees from credit card companies. If you think this coin is pointless why are you getting involved with the forums. Move on to something that you feel makes since to you!!
Everyone has to know for the Crypto world to become a huge success and viable for every retailer in the world to use, there will have to be some sort of regulation by governments and some sort of tax. Otherwise it will all end up in the gutter. If there is no regulation or taxation then most govts will ban it and then most retailers at least most legit retailers will not accept crypto coins. It is all a work in progress that will be a huge success in the coming years. Everyone should use their coins as often as possible to promote this world.
This is my opinion. Peace
That's what I've been saying more or less. Spend your coins

And you're right Potcoin can be used for many other things. But the reality is, only the marijuana industry is going to popularize the coin. Normal people are not going to use Potcoin in their daily lives. Thats what Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc are for.
I imagine at some point in the future the average person will have multiple wallets, or even one integrated wallet that supports many coins. We are at a point where coins can be designed for specific functions, like long term savings, or short term spending. Fast confirmation times and lots of coins for everyday spending for example.
Potcoin just needs to finds its function in the crypto world. We are making good progress...but unfortunately so is the competition.
