(1)Now you're running in circles. (2)This coin is supposed to be accessible and promoted to millions of people, (3)but now you are clearly reinforcing what we all know about crypto currencies in that it's a sapio interest.

(1)No. (2)Yes. (3)?

Stellar thinks it can somehow do better than Bitcoin in educating millions of people to use crypto currencies but I haven't seen any proof of it yet. They're not embarking on an expensive education campaign - they just want to get in and get out with their money, simple.

Well, I didn't claim they'd be doing better than Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency at all. All I did was to emphasise its wide-scale promotion, as well as its interesting team, that's it.

Sapio just means this is still a very niche thing and its' only appealing to a small obscure population around the world. Bitcoins' capitalization is still smaller than something like dropbox, for instance.

I don't see it with this stellar. Ripple has been in the money transfer business since 2004 and this some kind of weird divorce w/ ex members.

I think the whole giving $10 out to each person in the wrong way to go at it. The speculation money train between 2009 to 2013 is what made Bitcoin popular with its' 1 to 2 million users.
