Matic enables scalability not by making its own entire new public blockchain, but this with Plasma, on ETH. It's an upgrade to Ethereum, it's not a competitor. It adds to the ETH ecosystem by providing scalability and tech implementations, while simultaneously piggy backing on ETH giant community and resources. This is the potential. What is built on ETH, can be routed via Matic. Why: cheaper and faster. You are still essentually using ETH, just via Plasma implementation of Matic.
For example, Decentraland has committed to using Matic mainnet to wire its operations through it. They are also close with DAI (MakerDAO) for the same purposes. To me, the narrative of this is clear: Engine for DeFi. How realistic this is? Well, you just need to be in bed with ETH projects or have huge backing (cough, Coinbase, cough) - and then just make them all wire transactions through Matic. Done. So the buz dev story is clear: first get all popular ETH projects who lack scalability - to use Plasma. And then start building more yourself.
Ok so just to sum up, what gets me hard: 1) They are dev focused, have nice docs and innovations, so it's sexy. 2) They have a clear biz dev / community acquisition strategy. Check all the ethhub and etc. updates about them. Waiting for Vitalik to tweet next LOL. 3) They explain what the token is for (to make plasma implementation permissionless)
“The reason I think layer 1 and layer 2 are complementary is because ultimately, if you look at the math, the scalability gains from the layer 1 improvements and layer 2 improvements do ultimately multiply with each other. If you have a Sharding solution, the Sharding solution itself might increase the scalability of Ethereum by a factor of 100, or eventually even more. But then, if you do Plasma on top of the scalability solution, then what that means is, you’re not just doing 100 times of the amount of activity but you are doing 100 times the amount of entrances, the amount of exits, and dispute resolutions”

I Remember when you genderqueers were proclaiming Coinbase is all in on 0x too
Josiah Peterson
This. 2.0 is going to btfo a lot of these scamcoins
Christopher Lewis
One would think but this price decline its fucked. It makes no sense. There are only like 150 token holders. Who’s buying and who’s selling? Doesn’t even look like it’s being accumulated. Just straight sell off.

Based. Ethereum is gonna be so fucking huge. Imagine not investing in anything not related to it.
Aaron Torres
They do have massive 0x bags? Did they not buy them out?
Christopher Johnson
How does IOTX and MFT have a higher marketcap than this?
Brayden Ortiz
Exactly. $7 million marketcap is a joke for a project with Coinbase and Binance behind it.
Ian Davis
Yeah. This has literally never pumped. I'd imagine it's gonna run up pretty hard here soon.
Leo Adams
Let's be honest. Does any non eth platform really have shot? Look at how many coins that exist today which perform better than btc technically speaking, but it still remains top dog. that's why matic is such a good bet. it doesnt compete with eth. It exists within the ecosystem and compliments it.
Jayden Bennett
I'm really excited about this project and others like it. Shows how far along ETH is compared to it's competitors. The advancements being made right now are crazy
Cameron Phillips
You serious ? Another pajeet and rajeet crypto project. I'll pass on that.
ChangeNow is going to be on Binance Dex. What's the problem?
Bentley Hughes
Difference between this and Change is that one is on Binance already, the other isn't. KYS
Lucas Lopez
a shitcoin was shilled in the exact same style as OP shilling matic right now and was actually more believable than this shit it already is on binance dex the whole deal was about the bdex listing and it did a -90%
