Nevertheless, I would like to thank developers for their continuous support of this coin. Those who are implying that Sys is over are far from truth. However, we also should be aware of all the negative aspects of current situation. Some ICO coins were successful, some weren't but history of crypto shows us that there was no coin that managed to go back to the ICO price after initial price drop. It is either instant growth or instant downfall. You can have the best technology out there and if there are no pumpers to support you, you will be just one of the obscure coins. We all took that risk, we lost, but as long as the devs didn't abandon this ship. we still have a chance, so do not sell your coins.

Amen.

I've worked my way to be able to forget about the amount of sys I have. My coming back to check on it is purely curiosity at this point. As a technologist myself, I feel syscoin is truly breaking new ground and I am really excited to have been and to be a part of it (as an IPO investor, and supporter ever since).

Cheers to the devs!

Thank you both for your support, we appreciate it!
I am 1000% sure the upcoming features will prove this coin's new tech even more and services built around it will take over!

So, that being said, is their a way to effectively get this coin into the hands of those outside of cryptos, in an easy effortless fashion. To effectively break this cycle is to reach out to those outside of community.

That really is the holy grail, and has not really been achieved in any meaningful way IMO. NXT had a good go at it, by being part of the PayExpo in London this year (and will be at the 2015 PayExpo also), which was sponsored by Barclays Bank. It was a fair attempt to break out, and break that cycle you mentioned.

Ultimately, its all about utility. Build it, and they will come.

Success would be to produce a viable replacement for cash. Take SYS, it has a market place, if said market place leveraged the ability to calculate price/payments respective to cash in what ever country it would take off no doubt. This could be easily done with a payment screen in the client that calculated respective cash value as referenced to BTC to cash wherever, even across borders. This would in effect remove need for the end user to calculate the value of the unit price for each transaction on both source and destination of the unit.

Let's assume the global oil market, it's all working around the USD...
There's already a first example on how to update a SYS offer on the chain vs. actual SYS-BTC-USD price...

Additional setting in the client that will determine users native currency, UserA want to sell something at market and they list it as their expected paper currency, UserB opens client in different nation with different currency setting, client lists the price in UserB's native currency. Single website could host updated exchange rates and client could work from them. Items in the market are not listed in the blockchain, they are in a separate database hosted locally but also updated via P2P. This would be an easy method to integrate international sales and I personally think it would be attractive to the SYS community and beyond.
