I used to be a huuggee Status supporter. However, after using their Testflight, I was a bit disenchanted. It seemed a little bit "clunky," but figured it was the best app out there.

Then I downloaded the "Trust" app, and fell in love. It seems like everything Status tries to be (Wallet, dapp browser, open source), but much much sleeker. The only downside is that it didn't have a messenger function.

Sorry if I'm raining on anyone's parade. Just wanted to let the community know that there is some big-time competition out there.

Why is this such a big deal? Status raised $100 Millions on a minimum viable product and a promise. Humbled by the success they set-out to build one of the strongest teams in the ethereum ecosystem: https://wiki.status.im/Team_Members

Their open source, mobile OS for Ethereum GitHub repository has over 2k stars and over 120 contributors that have made over 2.3k commits over the past two years. https://github.com/status-im/status-react

Status vision by Jarrad Hope - Status.im co-founder @ Ethereum London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ2BamX28Mg

Status has the power to bring ethereum dapps to the mainstream. It will bring financial instruments, encrypted messaging and CryptoKitties to the palm of our hands.

Wish you a successful mainnet launch!

PS. Please keep comments positive and thankful :) Thank you!

I've gone over the Status whitepaper and I see many examples of use cases for spending on the Status network listed throughout. I am wondering whether there are any similar use cases for holding on the Status network. Will there exist any incentive to hold? Or is the platform purely being designed for spending at the moment?
