Evolution & Kuvacash Rolled into one - Competition for the "payments" space hotting up

[toknormal]

Tim Draper has been funding "OpenNode". They are promoting most of the features in the space that Dash is, but using the Lightning Network.

It's getting promoted simultaneously by all of the crypto illuminati's media organs.

Obviously it's off-chain so doesn't really qualify as "cash". You can't just install a POS and start using the blockchain directly like with Dash. But it does show that the "space" that we've been pursuing has quietly been on everyone's radar, not just Dash's.

Vindication. (For @BabyGiraffe in having identified this as a primary use-case worth pursuing). But also competition !

No sh!t? I've only been saying it for half a decade...

Coulda, shoulda, woulda...

I don't see how it's "vindication" to have made the right call, but still not acted upon it nearly 5 years later...

"Yup, X is definitely gonna happen! We've already got the perfect tools to be X. Lets stand on the sidelines and watch everyone else do it for 5 years. Then, maybe, we'll get involved... Maybe. Aw, man, this turd still isn't shiny enough. Do nothing and maybe it will polish itself some more. Once we have the most perfect, shiniest turd in the universe, then, maybe... I wonder if all this time staring at a turd hoping it will get shinier all by itself, while everyone else piles billions of dollars and man-hours into kicking our ass, will pay off?"

Flipping over the chessboard and screaming "I win" as you run away isn't convincing me...
