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.
