>1. It has insane venture capital backing
Peter Thiel and Sam Altman are invested in Reserve. For those unaware, Peter Thiel is one of the most famous venture capitalists and an investor in Coinbase, so Peter Theil and Coinbase Ventures are backing Reserve Protocol. Sam Altman is another very prominent angel investor and a head of YCombinator. These dudes don't fuck around and buying RSR is basically following the smart money. Besides that, Peter Theil involvement almost surely means Coinbase listing in the future
>2. It is a huge, ambitious project
Reserve aims to be a stablecoin for countries with high inflation or hyperinflation, such as Venezuela. For this they have a two-token system (stable RSV and collateral RSR that can appreciate in value). Instead of focusing on some obscure fintech stuff, they are focusing on a concrete and real problem that they try to solve. Cryptocurrency stablecoin is inevitable and it shows (Facebook dipping their toes is a huge sign that companies ARE interested in it).
>3. Reserve Protocol will have a first-mover advantage
But how, would you ask? Isn't Facebook going to capture the market first? NO and NO. Financial regulators HATE Facebook and as soon as Zucc released Libra idea to the world, regulators immediately said that he should back off and that they do not like it at all, especially in the light of data privacy breach issues. So Facebook show that there is demand for crypto stablecoin, but they don't have the means to deploy it fast, whereas Reserve does. Which brings us to the next point.
