It is in the interest of the early adopters. For those not involved yet that have never mined before it might be more fun / interesting to adopt a new coin, for which there are no ASIC implementations.
- tlrobinson 13y agoIf what you care about is your cryptocurrency being "fun" and "interesting" rather than "secure" and "stable", then sure.

The only real incentive to use a cryptocurrency for me would be for things like giving and receiving online tips, like a site independent karma system, but as soon as you need to actually buy the coins from somewhere it is just as convenient or inconvenient as tipping fiat money.
