How to buy Electroneum?

It's possible to buy Electroneum on a few exchanges, but it's still absent from many of the larger players. The most popular trading pair is for Bitcoin, but there is a small segment of volume available for Ethereum should you prefer to trade for it that way.

To store your ETN tokens it would most likely be easiest to use their mobile app. They do have an alternative paper wallet option as well if you'd prefer a cold storage method for your investment or it's also easy to gift coins to others this way!

If you plan to invest in ETN then you're basically banking on mainstream adoption. While I'm sure this will happen eventually I'm not sure exactly when it will happen. A lot of people were burned by cryptocurrency during the end of the year dip, and that may set back the Electroneum timeline a bit.

However, since it's possible to earn coins by utilizing the app it might get some new users curious. Blogging platform Steemit has seen similar success by allowing people to earn cryptocurrency without the need to actually understand mining, and it's worked as an easy intro for those who are less technically inclined but would like to start utilizing alternative currencies.

While the people to whom Electroneum is targeted most likely don't care it has been slightly controversial with crypto enthusiasts because their "mobile mining" is not really mining. This is emulated, and users are simply rewarded with tokens for effectively just wasting battery power on their phones.

Some feel this is a little dishonest due to the fact that you're not an "actual miner", but the masses most likely will only hear that they can earn free money using their phone. Earning coins also gives people a reason to use cryptocurrency for purchases since they are mining them instead of purchasing them as a speculative investment.

ETN's biggest plan for the future is simply to grow adoption of their app. Their core product is completed, and while the idea is very simple the advantageous for the space as a whole are apparent here.

Now, their problem is marketing. The team was successful in securing a lot of hype during their initial coin offering which greatly aided them, and it seems their social media engagement is on par as well which will most likely be the prime target for them to gather more users.

They are also working on numerous partnerships with vendors and mobile operators for the benefit of their users. These new deals will not only offer new ways for people to spend their mined Electroneum coins, but they will also most likely prove to be a valuable marketing tool as no doubt these partners will share the app with their own respective user bases.

While I do like ETN and what it could potentially do for the crypto world you should not invest inspecting to make a mint overnight. This coin has a very high supply, and as such, that means it could struggle to gain price traction.

Especially since its main audience are not crypto enthusiasts, but instead mainstream users who will likely mine their coins, and then immediately dump them. While it is possible for your ETN investment to be valuable in the future it's likely that this adoption will take a good amount of time and patience on your part.

Even with all the features Electroneum does currently offer, they are experiencing growing pains. The platform website and signup processes very slow, and so many users have encountered bugs with the PIN verification system it uses. Similarly, there are reports of issues with the mobile wallet, issues with sends not going through, and these is a major setback and may cause users to dump the coin. This is one thing the technical team need work on, without that, I don’t think anything good will come out from Electroneum. Although the idea behind these coin is cool and should be an indication for investors to warm up to.
