UPDATE 2019: THESE WERE SCAMMERS TOO!
According to the Csíkszereda-based development team, Korona will be the first cryptocurrency that we will actually use for everyday purchases in real life. This is a very beautiful vision, however we need to be very careful because despite how many people currently accept Bitcoin, it still cannot be called an everyday occurrence to pay with it anywhere.
So would the Transylvanian cryptocurrency Korona be the answer to this? According to the developers, yes, but reality and expectations often don't align. But this will be answered over time by the market and users anyway.
According to Attila Bustya's statement on Csaba Azurák's TV2 show, people and investors are trying to switch to altcoins like Korona will be, and in the future they won't prefer Bitcoin but rather these types of cryptocurrencies. There is some realistic truth to this, as Bitcoin will become more of a long-term investment tool and the playground of "big game" players over time rather than an everyday payment platform.

Among other things, there is talk about the fact that with Korona we will be able to buy services and products daily, easily and quickly. Unfortunately, there is no mention of transaction fees, though if we're talking about everyday purchases in the future, this should definitely be addressed — how much it will cost us to make purchases with it.
Attila Bustya considers the value of Korona to be the combined factor of market supply and demand, which he calls Korona's backing. This is essentially fine, however the real value goes beyond someone simply starting to buy and sell a given cryptocurrency in the wide world.
However, it was also mentioned that team members dealing with economics are conducting many negotiations regarding ensuring that its backing is roughly organized around the available merchant partners and the spendable quantity. Considering the partners discoverable on their website and with special regard to the already media-storming Csíki Sör, there could be real potential in the fact that if they, as accepting partners, commit to this, it could attract a very serious quasi "beer-drinking" segment through the path of beer consumption. This could potentially give Korona its future value, however, like everything at home, due to excise tax issues and the intentional blocking of numerous tax loopholes and similar things, this won't be as easy a path as it first appears.
To buy or not to buy, that is the question!
Yes! Considering that this is a Transylvanian initiative and the partners actually listed on their site give some sense of trust that now is the time, this whole Korona cryptocurrency initiative is right in our neighborhood, and if we too will someday want something similar, then we must indeed act so that something can get started here in the Carpathian Basin too, since everyone always says oh... oh... Bitcoin is some American thing again... So now is the time to do something so we too can have our own independent currency in the future, and the Transylvanian Korona is an unmissable station for this. I absolutely don't want to advertise Korona using Székely Vegán's name, but presumably at the mention of Transylvanian Korona people will associate with him too, since he was perhaps among the first to start dealing with cryptocurrencies. From here on, everyone should decide whether they wish to participate in this new initiative among the first, within the ICO framework, or wait a little longer before making a move.
To register for the ICO, you only need an email address, a few personal details, and a password, and you can already wait for the ICO launch. For purchasing, you'll only need an ERC20-compatible Ethereum wallet.

Personally, I would recommend three wallets built on different technologies that are ERC20 compatible:
EtherWallet (Online): https://www.myetherwallet.comMetaMask (Firefox and Chrome browser extension): https://metamask.ioMist (Desktop): https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases
For beginners, I would say the simplest and fastest way to create an ERC20-compatible Ethereum wallet is MetaMask, and since it's a deeply integrated Chrome browser extension, its security is also enhanced compared to other solutions. Of course, it's not foolproof and doesn't guarantee 100% protection, but if we follow the rules, we won't have problems with it.
