I checked it out but I am not sold. Mainly because they chose a horrible name. Referencing crypto is great if you want to appeal to the crypto crowd, but I don't think it appeals to the public at large. Cryptocurrency as a name is on it's last legs anyway, the mainstream will start calling it blockchain instead of crypto pretty soon and talking about cryptocurrency will remain a niche thing. They'd be better off calling it 'FaceBlock(chain)' if you ask me.
I'm not sure I agree with your reasoning, Twitter isn't primarily used by bird watchers and Facebook isn't primarily used by short sighted librarians. Lol
LOL no you are right. It's just that, I dunno, it doesn't really click with me. I would feel better about it if it had pretty much any other nonsensical 'funny' name (Dooby, Wobbly, Doodly, Sociallo, whatever). I think cryptocurrency and crypto will always remain a nerdy and niche term and I feel by naming themselves Scrypto they will be pegged into this niche and surpassed by something with wider appeal. I could be wrong though. Ideally I'd like to see all of these projects succeed, hehe
Hahah... Short Sighted librarians, that's a great one @cryptoviking ;P
