So much hate on this thread. What the loyalist to bitcoin don't understand, is nobody outside of cryptos give a shit about bitcoin or about the blockchain decentralization.
Sorry to bust your bubble, but if someone can market and advertise, plus get get real business partnerships like GAW is trying to do, they will create demand like it or not. Will it work? Not sure, but they are trying. Do I think BTC will go away? NO. But I do see it taking a backseat if new cryptocurrencies that have either A. Innovation tech behind them, or B. Marketing, management, advertishing and treated like a business, will take the lead.
It's evolving. Decentralization is something we all want, and I really hope that is in GAW's vision like they say, but you cannot stop the bill gates of the world trying to market something.
I'd like to introduce you to jimmothycoin.
So far we've got 10 billion dollars of VC funding backing it and partnerships with some of the worlds largest companies.
Jimmothycoin will launch with a market cap of 50 billion and with our aggressive/manipulative marketing we guarantee the price will increase tenfold.
