Cons
Con Iridium is currently on hold
The current build includes a bug which seems to break youtube functionality. However after a bit of searching, a solution can be found. Posted here to help others who might be debugging all their extensions for youtube not loading videos.
The solution for many seems to be to keep the autoplay function within Iridium settings ON.
Now your videos will most likely load and play again like they should.
Con Traceable transactions
Not anonymous, but there is discussion to change this.
Con Lower/slow adoption
Perfect for peer to peer but lot of work to do to get business on board.
Con Strongly opposed by Bitcoin maximalists because it threatens Bitcoins existence
As an example, the censoring by moderators of the biggest cryptocurrency forum on Reddit /r/cryptocurrency.
Con Prone to hoarding
Many people might want to hold nano longer term as demand grows and supply is limited. However fortunately there are no direct financial rewards for holding nano as opposed to proof of stake currencies.
Con Lesser known compared to other alternatives - it doesn't have much presence outside of the crypto space
The Nano Foundation doesn't have a massive marketing budget. Nano does only one thing, and that one thing directly competes with Bitcoin. In the short term it's going to be very difficult for Nano.
