Despite having low fees and high transaction speed I believe Raiblocks will fail in the long run. Many other coins have low fees and fast transactions and Raiblocks will experience the same problem they have. Adaptation. I'm not talking about scalability, but the mass adoptation by merchants. Why would a merchant pick Raiblocks as a payment method if 80% of his customers never even heard of crypto. And even if they had they would most likely only have BTC/ETH/LTC. The only reason Raiblocks is so hyped up right now is because it's superior scalability, but that is something the other coins can fix. I'll pass on Raiblocks also because of the rabid fanbase that will eat you like a swarm of piranhas if you say anything about their fav coin. That kind of attitude is not something that I like to see in a crypto I invest into. Reminds me too much of LINK.
Lol i thought the community was a little too all-rainbows when I go through the subreddit. Freedom to debate is always best, which is why I like the steem community. Yeah adoption is most important, which is why steem seems to have an edge despite having a lower market cap atm.
