How I've found NANO while I wasn't even interested in cryptocurrencies and my though
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hello everyone! Three months ago, I wasn't much interested in cryptocurrencies at all.</p> <p>I've just wanted to add a crypto-payment option for an online store that I was developing thinking that it would increase the sales.</p> <p>During that process, I've found out that fees were HUGE for many of the well-known cryptocurrencies. This whole crypto thing felt like a tulip-mania, why would a person want to use something that they would have to pay this kind of absurd transfer fees?!!</p> <p>While searching for low fee crypto coins I've stumbled upon NANO. I was quite skeptical at first, but after some research and seeing the product at work (international instant transaction?!) and seeing how organized & devoted the community is I believed NANO had a great future ahead.</p> <p><em>Everything seemed perfect at first glance.</em></p> <p>Coming from the business side of things, there <strong>really</strong> is a demand for something like this. Especially in second-world countries where there is widespread access to technology & intermediates and banks are ripping people off with their fees on international transfers.</p> <p>For example, we have no Paypal in my country for around 5 years as the government <strong>banned</strong> it as it didn't want to host its servers in Turkey.</p> <p>People literally have to pay around 20% to 35% for their freelance work as they need to use alternative methods.</p> <p>As an example, my bank takes 20 dollars for every payment I get from outside the country!</p> <p>For some time I was in love with NANO. But I still didn't understand one thing, "This is amazing, why isn't it much more popular?!"</p> <p><em>Then the spam attack came.</em></p> <p>And I understood at that moment why it wasn't a top 10 coin.</p> <p>NANO <strong><em>is not</em></strong> a finished product. Spam & ledger bloat are two real risks. Will the NANO foundation be able to solve these problems? That's a great <strong>risk</strong> for an investor.</p> <p>But still, I am very happy to know about NANO now.</p> <p>Maybe NANO will never reach its goals and fail miserably, but what is important is that I see that chances of it succeeding it a lot higher than its failure. Why? I believe in what it tries to accomplish.</p> <p>No money printing (which is essentially <strong>stealing value</strong> from all holders of a currency) and instant, and feeless transfer of value. I don't believe in NANO just because it is NANO. I believe in the concept of making the money an independent entity and there wasn't a project that had more development experience that tries to do this. (Notify me if there is one!)</p> <p><em>Feeless, instant, decentralized, green and inflationless store and transfer of value.</em></p> <p><em>Sounds real nice.</em></p> <p>But to be real, there are great and real obstacles on the way of its success. But if these issues were fixed today NANO wouldn't be a 5 USD coin. (And there is also a chance that they won't ever be fixed, that's why NANO is only 5% of my portfolio
)</p> <p>But I believe in developers' CVs, 5 years of experience developing NANO, and their devotion to the concept.</p> <p>And I believe that creating a spam-resistant feeless cryptocurrency is theoretically possible.</p> <p>And also, the NANO community is <strong><em>super</em></strong> active relative to its size. They are hosting <a href="https://nano-faucet.org/">free faucets</a> that you can get NANO, creating plugins for <a href="https://github.com/wezrule/UnityNanoPlugin">Unity</a>, <a href="https://github.com/wezrule/UE4NanoPlugin">Unreal Engine</a> & <a href="https://github.com/numsu/nanocurrency-web-js">Javascript</a> so that game developers can integrate Nano to their games. Creating faucet <a href="https://nanoquakejs.com/">games</a> that you can earn <a href="https://nanoroyale.com/">NANO</a>, they are donating NANOs to people in need in Venezuela and <a href="https://np.reddit.com/r/nanocurrency/comments/mikl7u/project_nanocity_has_started_lets_paint_lagos/">Nigeria</a> with a Pokemon Go-like app called WeNano.</p> <p>Maybe even a bit too active as they have a cult-like status in here 
</p> <p>What do you guys think about NANO's future? And also, thanks for reading my longish post!</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/aletek"> /u/aletek </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/mp89k0/how_ive_found_nano_while_i_wasnt_even_interested/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/mp89k0/how_ive_found_nano_while_i_wasnt_even_interested/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
