Very odd to recommend Raiblocks instead of at least Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, which have 300x and 90x the volume respectively. They both also have low fees and near instant transactions, already work for their use cases, and can be bought with USD.
There are real competitors to Bitcoin Core today, and Raiblocks is not one of them. Your value proposition cannot be "like Ethereum but fractionally better because volume is two orders of magnitude less". There are even interesting coins like Aragon, Po.et, SALT, Aeron, district0x that actually do things Bitcoin doesn't do.
Competing for "payments on the internet" is a losing battle, of which you can find hundreds of other pumps on coinmarketcap. They all have nice landing pages about how the blockchain is the future and this is the new way for money and banking. That's a clear sign there's no future in a coin, because the founders can't come up with anything but "let's make Bitcoin faster".
Obligatory disclaimer that I don't invest in any of these things. I'd rather have people invest in curing disease, space travel, longevity research; things that affect the physical world and push humanity forwards. "Like Visa but fuck Visa" is not a compelling pitch.
