RE: Weekly coin picks!
Yeah that is definately true, although the advantage of Reddcoin not being directly intergrated is that even if YouTube or Facebook or reddit becomes redundant or gets its own coin integration it doesn't matter. Got example let's say you write a post on Steemit which I enjoy and is so useful to me that a simple 100% upvote doesn't seem a good enough thank you for your work. Well, I can simply click on the extension and send you some Reddcoin. You don't have REDD-ID? No problem, you will automatically get an email from the service saying you have received some Reddcoin and to setup a wallet to claim it.
This is what REDD-ID is going to do. And even if you don't much care for the project, which is fair enough, I think that even just buying some before the initial pump after REDD-ID release is worth it in and of itself.
I have both a lot of Reddcoin and Stratis. Whichever increases in value first will be sold and put into the other anyway, to enjoy some of that compound profit ;)
Oh yes I think it's a really interesting concept. I mean certainly if you get a message saying "You have been paid X Reddcoin, click here to download the client to collect them" it will lure a lot of people into actually downloading the wallet and accessing them.
It's just tricky, to anticipate where the mainstream herd will go... But maybe I am getting too critical. I am reconsidering many of my positions in STEEM, LBRY, BAT because I am getting doubt about their adoption. It isn't that I doubt something will emerge to take the world by storm.. I'm just not sure it's going to be these in particular. More and more competitors seem to be entering the space, and usually a new player will have some improvements over the older player. Without there being a clearcut 'king', you kind of need to invest in all of them in order to not miss out.
Yeah I definately get what you are saying.
