As many of you know I’ve been talking about niche and parallel economies for a while now.

As the original goal of the cypherpunks when creating the concept of a cryptocurrency was to power an international or parallel economy with no government interference, bringing the control over money back to the hands of the people and not a centralized monopoly.

That said, Nano is a great tool for that, even without native built-in privacy.

However we have a few challenges to accomplish those goals and I’d like the community’s opinion on how to tackle those on.

They are:

  1. Vertical / supply chain acceptance;
  2. Horizontal / wide community spread on many segments;
  3. On and Off-ramp volatility cost / risk absorption.

By those I mean:

  1. We still don’t have a product that people accept Nano from the raw material to the end consumer;
  2. We still don’t have many different professions and commerce owners participating in the community;
  3. We still have only a few p2p willing to partner with commerce and accept their influx of Nano (albeit small) for a fixed price, thus ignoring exchange volatility.

These points are all important to make real adoption a thing.

So, how would you go about to solve each one?
