Cryptocurrency is considered a movement by believers and a fad by disbelievers.Instead of an open and honest discussion involving all sides, what we have witnessed is a dialogue of the deaf, in which each camp justifies its own intellectual laziness by pointing to the intellectual laziness of the other camps. This is one of the main obstacles that prevent cryptocurrency from being accepted by the general public. Technologists have proposed improvement on various aspects of Bitcoin, such as new hash functions to replace SHA256 and new mechanism to replace Proof-of-Work. There have been very few cryptocurrencies designed to address the economic and social aspects of being a real currency. Reddcoin, at the time of writing, seems to be only one.
