yeah.. i had expected a lot more with fiat/vrc wallet..

Well the Fiat/vrc in wallet sounds great.
but this implementation brings nothing in the end.
It's just a link to a Website.
We where saying, at least I was for weeks how innovative it was going to be as I was lead to believe from the promises. Essentially we where saying that we innovated this. It ended up to be nothing more innovative than the forum link that has been in the wallet for weeks.
We created this lofty expectation, and then we underwhelmed people. It was no wonder the price came down. I think this is a trend that can be reversed with a serious shift in strategy to better use strengths of the community. The backbone of Vericoin is the community. The one that went through hell and back, the devs who led us out of that time, and those who wish to make this a positive.
I completely agree. We have a great community and we need it to help VeriCoin thrive. Bitcoin core developers do very little compared to the community. The same goes for the LTC core devs, and Doge core devs. It's all about the community.
Well I disagree.. I don´t think the community got DOGE, BTC or LTC where they are now in terms of market cap and liquidity, but rather early investors with lots of money... I mean which community are we talking about? 50 people? 100 maybe? lets stop fooling ourselves please... if we talk of mainstream we need milions, 10s of 1000s at least, and we won´t get them unless we get the ball rolling with investors first...
IMO, the major reason those coins are larger than the rest is the number of wallets, and people supporting them. Bitcoin will be coming up on 8 million wallets projected by the end of this year. Community investors who create services will give value to the coin. Investors who trade, and don't attempt to add value are welcome in crypto as everyone should be. What we need is a organized, motivated community, who are willing to create services, go to VeriLeader meetings and events, things like that. Investors in it for the almighty dollar will likely not take the extra time to put into a project as this is not the objective for most of them. Most crypto investors are here to make bitcoin, not to create valuable services, and move crypto currencies forward.
We need investors, we need developers, entrepreneurs, bloggers, media consultants, PR, financial people, all of these make crypto work. People putting money into a coin, for the sake of putting money into a coin will not create value long term. The ones who work hard for the community do. Look at VRCradio, VeriRanks, vericoinis, ect ect. I can only name a few because so many people have great ideas and are working to create value . The community will chose based on quality of the services which ones we will champion and promote to the world. This comes from a community, a community full of talent that we could use to make VeriCoin great.
We need to show vision and create value to bring in more investors. Simply having investors throw money at vericoin will not accomplish our goals. The heart of what vericoin is, and will be, is the community.
As much as money is the motivation for some people in crypto, my motivation is success. I am a believer in many, but not all aspects of "the secret". If you work to be successful the money will come. If we get our priorities straight, once we have success, then we will get the rewards we deserve. We must work to create that value, and
earn that success.
