Why Auroracoin will be huge

Auroracoin will only be "huge" should it be used like a currency. Right now, it's an interesting experiment that's going to lose all it's value within 1 month post launch.

I see no mention on merchant resources, an ATM, payment gateways, or anything else mentioned that will help the wider Icelandic community conduct business.

One thing that Dogecoin has done well is enabling it's use as an actual currency. The phrase "1 DOGE = 1 DOGE" is a testament to the fact that they're attempting to not rely on big brother Bitcoin to establish a value. Now, there's arguments for and against this approach, but the point still stands that it's value is only as strong as it's utility as a method of exchanging a value for goods and services.

Dogecoin found the right market and the marketplace adapted. Auroracoin is manufacturing a market, but with the expectation that its value will plummet post 'Air Drop', will the marketplace adapt to accept these fiat replacements?

The juice might not be worth the squeeze.

I think this is a very great idea. I have a feeling as well that it will be copied soon in different states. The only question I have is what if citizens in Iceland claims their aurcoin? But apart from that this is a again a genius way to bring people into cryptocurrencies

> I can easily guess that the Icelandic government will do its best to contrast, fight, and possibly kill this nascent idea. The entire world will be watching.

Isn't the government the one making the AuroraCoin?
