In so many other areas, the adoption curve is actually not done by the "best" of anything.
It can be the FIRST. It can even be the last sometimes if the best..But usually it is:
BRAND [Marketing] BRAND
WATER has bad brand history, slowing being wiped out though.
WATER has incredible brand potential, which simply needs intelligent leadership to capitalize on it.
In fact, WATER has one of the highest brand potentials of any other coin right now.
=> What person would say "no, I don't think people should have clean water."
Won't happen...The potential to market adoption & usage is easy with a little know-how, patience, some luck sure, and timing.
Once the bumps are ironed out, confidence restored for longer than days at a time, then it is a marketing landslide.
Meanwhile I keep buying the under-valued happily - Sellers are free to keep selling low, please don't stop on our account.
