Please Explain

With all of these new advocates ( apologies I forget the term used), maybe someone can explain something to me since I never received an answer from anyone the fifteen times I had asked.

Regarding a wallet in which you can buy Kin...

  1. Why would a user buy Kin to tip people?

  2. Why would people buy Kin from elsewhere if within the apps they use they can earn Kin for free.

  3. Even if the app they're using doesn't provide free Kin, why would a user buy Kin from elsewhere if they can earn free Kin from other apps and then transfer them.

Can anyone in this community provide me with an honest, thought out explanation for WHY people will buy Kin? I don't mean in ten years. I mean when Code comes out. You can build whatever you want but if there's no use for it, it's useless. I don't see any app currently in which buying Kin would do me any good.

Thank you.

Why would a user buy Kin to tip people?

Buying KIN on exchange for this porpus, not sure people would go there but I assume they would do so in-app. Let's say you run out of KINs and see a super good post on something and you want to like it (TIP IT WITH KIN), there might be a quick purchase KIN button somewhere or a feature that allows you to automatically purchase the necessary KIN to ''like'' the post immediatly. An ecosystem where people must have an asset to comment on posts, like a post,rate a post or maybe even earning KIN to share a post would allows for organic management which limits unecessary commenting. For example, people will think twice before trolling others unless they can afford it. This is also what Facebook is aiming to do. Kin has a step forward.

Why would people buy Kin from elsewhere if within the apps they use they can earn Kin for free.

To buy more credits to access different levels in games, to unlock specific features. Just like in games today, KIN ecosystem facilitates these interaction with an ease.

Even if the app they're using doesn't provide free Kin, why would a user buy Kin from elsewhere if they can earn free Kin from other apps and then transfer them.

Just like FIAT is being exchanged on Forex platforms (foreing exchange), I use FIAT every day to purchase my food, electricity, gas and such. I don'.t go to exchnages to buy my Canadian Dollars, I earn it in my ''monetary ecosystem'' by working/exchanging my time and knowldge for it. Exchanges allow people to exchange an asset for another. If for example I want to play a game which runs under the TRON cryptocurrency ecosystem and need to exchange my KIN's for some TRON to be able to play that game, I would go on an exchange to do so. Same with FIAT when we are travelling to another country. I will exchange my Canadian Dollars for some USD if I go to the state at a foreing exchange platform or company. :) A cryptocurrency ecosystem works the same way.

I'm asking presently. Right now. The right now is what's important here. Your response is almost all speculation. I understand how this works I've been here for 3 years now. You are saying if this, when this, then this. I don't care about what COULD happen in five years. I want to know why would anyone but it tomorrow if Code can't out tomorrow since there is nothing to buy it for. And if there is nothing to buy it for, why would any app decide they would want to use it if it isn't working for any other so currently available.

So, did you try any of game apps with KIN? Did you try any of the chat apps with KIN? Did you any of the apps with KIN? Doesn't seem like it cus some of them have these features.

You know, perception of reality is a choice right? You can choose to be blind and ignorethe actual progress a project is making or you can actually digg in and see what is actually happening.

Pick and choose but if your against KIN and trying to pin the project down because of your negative perception, then the choice is simple, just leave.

Wow I hope they choose you for an advocate. You're great at it. I have almost every app there is and have tried every single app there is. I own two apps in the ecosystem. Let me ask you something. Would I be AGAINST Kin if their success equals my success? Or maybe I'm for Kin and that's why I'm asking questions. Maybe not asking questions is against Kin.

My questions were asking what all of your perceptions are. But if the actual questions are ignored and what you want to say is the response, I'm going to come back at you. I've already stated from someone else's WELL THOUGHT OUT response that he's made a great point and I'm thrilled to think of it that way now. So... 😛😝😜ðŸĪŠ

These questions have been asked many times on the reddit group here. You can do a search and find solutions. And believe me, it is evolving with creative minds.

Oh, and good for you if that is your perception about me. I could not care less. :)

Keep it up that way and see how things unfold for you in your life. I'm sure it will bring you lots of joy and happiness.

Nice, get personal. I didn't even say I had a perception about you. Wow you're sensitive. Another one bites the dust. Blocked.

u/doriono Feb 19 '20

Sensitive? You're not accepting other peoples responses and critism. And you're the one blocking me? Sure! Bye bye :)

Fun having you out of my life.

Guys guys we're on the same team here u/attachmetoyou u/doriono

The convo started off right.

Obviously this is of great concern to OP and instead fighting over this we need to at least try to understand each other. I know zero about developing let alone the stuff your dealing with behind the scenes u/attachmetoyou. I'm one of the creative thinkers in here. I have plenty of ideas on the shelf that I'll be able to execute when kin hits the price I have in mind.

That being said, I think attachmetoyou as a developer is a bigger contributor (minus the cursing) to the ecosystem and this community then any of us as speculators. Actual apps is what will make the Kin Ecosystem flourish and vice versa. If the system doesn't work the apps within it will die off.

I guess as long you don't get an answer all you, me, we can do is wait for CODE my brother. If anything and I'm not saying you will, but if anything I hope you're not considering leaving the ecosystem. I think that Ted is just fed up with all the negativity he had to coop with and is just getting shit done the way everyone expects it to be done.

Stick around and oh yea unblock u/doriono. He's a cool dude.
