Wtf is happening?

> Sir, I would like to buy this laptop from you. Can I pay with ether?
Yes sure, I am using the new Request Network system just let me set up a request and send it to you
> Are you sure I can't just send you the ether? Takes about 10s
No no it's no problem. So let me see, *click click click* *type type type* ok there we go please fill the request now.
> Euhm I don't have any tokens... I think I first need to buy some. Are you sure I can't just send you the ether?
Oh no you have to fulfil the request.
> Well no ok then here you can have $ straight.
But now the request is still open
> Who cares?
Yea you're right. Who cares about a fucking request.

>projects that are unreasonably low in price compared to progress.
By this metric REQ is overpriced. Progress has been abysmal.

This.
Btw, circle jerk USDC ain’t real fiat. Everyone knows Req’s best potential use case was fiat-fiat international transfers with minimal fees—even more important now than ever. Yet they abandoned that goal early. The team cannot execute, lies frequently, and has no vision. Quit trying to prop up these French fags. They have never and will never succeed. I know they had a terrible reputation at YC, and they have lived up to it.

REQ works on the backend, retard, the end user doesn't need REQ.

"Hey Stacey, want anything from Starbucks?"
>"Yeah, I want a mocha roastie supreme! But can you go get it for both of us, I don't want to stop watching Netflix!"
"Sure, can you send me some money though? My credit card is almost empty, I spent everything on Chad!"
>"Yeah, I just got this new app "Request Network". Download it and send me a request!"
"Wow, I just got it too! I'll put in a request. Hmm, that's weird Stace, it's saying I need "REQ tokens". Wtf is that?"
>"Uh, this app is so fucking weird. WEIRD AND CREEPY. Why do I need a token to send money? How do I even get them?"
"Just delete it Stace and use venmo. That app was made by virgins and creepy ugly losers."

A real classic, but still inaccurate AF

i always preferred the vechain pastas

>I know they had a terrible reputation at YC, and they have lived up to it.
And in the crypto community. They are a joke.
Neither does the platform. It has no purpose other than rent seeking and being burnt. That's it. Kyber is launching Katalyst because they realized that the burning mechanism was not sufficient to confer value on the token. Now compare Kyber's volume with Request's... if it wasn't enough for KNC at hundreds of millions in volume, why would it be enough when REQ is struggling to scrape together $1m total value since launch?
>A real classic, but still inaccurate AF
Inaccurate because it implies people would actually use Request to pay for something.

>muh rent seeking
All projects need tokens to incentivize cooperation for the purposes of decentralization. The "useless token" FUD is the lowest tier fud that only brainlets think is good FUD.

If you want to FUD REQ properly, you have to take shots at the mozzarella monkeys and not the token economics.

>you have to take shots at the mozzarella monkeys and not the token economics.
You've got it backwards. The mozzarella fud will stop retards from buying. Pointing out the unavoidable and fundamental flaw in the token model will prevent serious investors from buying.
>>muh rent seeking
You can't dismiss it that easily. 2017 taught us that burn/rent-seeking is not enough. Currently the industry seems to be mostly focussed on governance, but because REQ develops in a bubble they have entirely missed the defi and governance trends.
>All projects need tokens to incentivize cooperation for the purposes of decentralization.
You are correct. For example:
LINK incentivizes cooperation because LINK will be staked by nodes. Providing false info will cause their stack to be slashed.
REN incentivizes cooperation because REN is locked by nodes. Not fulfilling bridge transactions will cause their stack to be slashed.
COMP incentivizes cooperation because COMP is locked in a governance contract. Poor governance will result in loss of COMP's value.
Those are three cases where the token is needed. Now apply this logic to REQ. How does the token "incentivize cooperation"? Can you give a concrete example of how burn/rent-seeking encourages cooperation? Between which parties is this cooperation being encouraged?

No need to lie and shill your own tokens.

Value will be added based on actual usage.

Y Combinatory is finally shoving this down the throats of normies.

The 100s of companies lining up to use Request is a bold faced lie from the team and you know it. Remember their Request Fund and muh startup projects they were going to work with? That was all bullshit. They keep the ruse going

Well if the only applications you receive at that moment is from pajeets and scammers it's better to not throw money at it right? They've been bad at communication in 2018-2019 but they've genuinly made progress on that front as well and are now more careful in their claims. Robbin has already clarified that it's not 100 companies but a mix of companies, freelancers and self-employed people, he has also said that this does not guarantee client retention.

Same game different year. Even Gilded is pretending to have a partnership with Coinbase but it’s bullshit...just using API.

Robbin is Request’s worst employee and should’ve been fired a long time ago. Completely incompetent, dishonest, lazy, and arrogant. No wonder why Wikimedia was livid with them. Remember that live AMA? Mfer can barely communicate.

Lol instead they lost money gambling on leverage. Fact. French idiots

They're not pretending they have a partnership. They've built a product that support coinbase integration and it is clearly stated. Don't try to paint them as scammers and pretenders.

But they are scammers. Proven. Even their token release schedule for team members was a sham.
Nice try Gil
