RE: Just got one of those Viva crown things, Am I a King or a sucker?
Am I a King or a sucker?
I guess you are an risk taker with an eye to interesting developments. That is more closer to King than Sucker.
If you would have the knowledge to run nodes, and I would have the funds available, I may have bought one of those Crowns as well.
What I see as positive aspects of the story of VIVA:
- Extra efforts to launch low volatile currency >> required for everyday use in the mix of users local fiat currency dominated economies >> reality will need to show if they can live up to their wishes and claims
- Applications and services with businesses in mind: Key aspect to get the business community to onboard, they even speak (as far as I remember) of letting businesses paying in not only VIVA coins but also fiat; I agree to such approach and I actually think that businesses do want to invest fiat (not only in coins but also in the ability to use a service) when the service is good.
Something to follow for sure.
Yea a risk taker. I like the sound of that.
Interesting to see who joins Viva from people I trust from here - however I do not really get how this will work to be honest.
In what sense?
In every sense :-)
They have BIG plans, they will have challenges with the 1.000 ATMs. They state they have deal with Mastercard, so they have debitcard. Blogging site a little less issue now Steemit is open source; They could take that source code but need to re-write part of it since they plan to implement a different coin distribution; Exchange, they already have. Yes, a lot to do for them! But maybe they can pull it of, I don't know indeed :)
So very much still in planning? I joined a coin some years ago - they had BIG plans too, they even flew in a lot people from Europe to Asia for meetings etc - in the end they f...ed us all and my money was gone. They are telling an interesting story.... but I am not a Believer yet if you know what I mean.
I'm the same, I think they will have tremendous challenges. For me not a coin to invest in at this point in time :)
Yeah - the people driving and supporting it seem all good people - we will see and watch :-)
