Let me start by saying I'm not one of those guys that beats on a pedestal like a Southern Baptist screaming BUY THIS COIN OR YOU ARE DOOMED!!!!! I understand everyone has their own feelings on their favorite coin in the crypto world today. However there are times when chatter was so quiet in a coin's life that it has just floated steady below all the screaming and arguing about which coin is better. And those are the ones you really want to slow down and look at.
Think of it in these terms. When you go on family vacation you always look for the great places to visit. Weather it be for a nice dinner. Or the best attraction. I remember back to one of my favorite vacations my family took years ago. We decided we were just going to drive and see where our vacation leads us. We started out by going to Atlanta, GA of course we went to Six Flags over GA because it was just a must do on a vacation. Then we decided to head to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. This is a huge vacation destination with millions of visitors each year. So again a must do.
As we are on the road from Atlanta to the mountains of Tennessee I notice a peculiar sign that said Lost Sea on one of the back roads we took on our route. I had to talk my wife into going to visit there just to see what it was all about. We arrived not expecting much, however once we walked 140 feet down a tunnel underground the sight of what we saw we never expected. The history we found, the lake under a mountain where you would never expect brimming with life as you board a boat to cross it. We completed our vacation from Atlanta to the mountains that year seeing all the must see heavy hitters you would expect. However the most talked about part of that particular year was that small little place called The Lost Sea and the experience we never expected to find.
I told you that story because as I started getting into the crypto world it felt a lot like that. You have the Bitcoins and Litecoins and Etheriums of the worlds screaming ME ME ME. However all of those coins were well on their way. The buy in on those coins were ridiculous. The coins new people in crypto kick themselves for not getting in earlier. So I wondered where can I find my "Lost Sea?" I read, I googled. I lurked on crypto message boards looking for that little sign of the coin that would shock me as being something that would make me say WOW.
As I was looking around I found a little corner of #cryptotwitter (yes that is a thing) that was chattering about a coin that had been basically forgotten but had things going on that would shock the world. I started interacting with those people started digging deeper on this coin they were so enthusiastically supporting. The more I dug the more I wondered, could this be the Lost Sea of the Crypto World. That coin was....Fastcoin.
When I first heard of Fastcoin of course the first thing I did was go to coin market cap to see what the price and volume was. I found it was awfully low market cap and low price for a coin that had been out for 4 years now. But the more I read on it the more I was intrigued by it's 12 second blocks, 48 second total confirmation. Believe me I was impressed by that after purchasing my first Bitcoin and seeing just how long it took it to move from one location to another. Then the chatter started talking about an announcement coming on August 1, 2017. I and most were wondering what it could be. August 1st comes along and what does Fastcoin give us for announcement.......a Star Wars Paroday video. As I sat there I wondered "what the hell was that?" I may not have completely appreciated the way the presented their news (even though you will not find a bigger Star Wars geek than myself) the news it's self was pretty remarkable for a coin with such a low price and market cap. The Fastcoin Dev team announced a project they were working on with regards to a beta mobile wallet for Apple and Android that would be available in September. Future online web store. Widget for online shopping carts. Once I realized what this kind of stuff could do for a low cap low priced coin I was sold I HAD found my Lost Sea of the Crypto world.
As I sit here today writing this the Dev team did indeed come through with their first promise of the beta mobile wallets for testing. And as a tester of this wallet I can say it's "faster." It's faster even than Fastcoins original 12 second block targets. Moving fastcoin from mobile wallet to PC wallet in what seems to be instant. And the team is not done there. The team is getting ready to release a white paper with information that will finally make people notice and appreciate the full potential of a fast coin in the real world application of crypto currency. Fastcoin will do that. And this Dev team is making sure it is done right.
Fastcoin is currently traded on Livecoin.net and Cryptopia.co.nz under the symbol FST. I would encourage anyone that reads this to check it out. Take your trip off the beaten crypto trail. Slow down and listen to what is being done and what this can become. Find your Lost Sea with Fastcoin.
