Another factor that crypto experts have mentioned regarding the competitiveness of Safemoon coin is the speed of releasing products. Since the Safemoon token was launched, only the Safemoon has been released. All other Safemoon products are in the development stage. This is not the case with the Safemoon coin competition, like Bitrise, which in short has released multiple products, including a super dApp wallet.
