sincler, you obviously have no understanding of the Blockchain space. Or are just pretending to be clueless.
Alt-coins (forks of Bitcoin blockchain - not bogus erc-20 tokens/clones) are BITCOIN. Alt-coins of VALUE have IMPROVED upon Bitcoin code. Faster block time. Reduced fees. Added privacy. Etc.
NewYorkCoin IS Bitcoin. An improved, more usable version. With all of the genius of the blockchain's trustless open transaction ledger.
When Bitcoin, that newbies ALL buy during FOMO time due to it's constant coverage in the media, SKYROCKETS in value next. Like it does every SUPERCYCLE throughout its history - guess what happens... ALL altcoins go along for the FOMO ride; either during or a few weeks later. Haven't you done ANY research?
NYC (and other micro-cap coins) will experience small-cap stock percentage gains -VS- large cap stock percentage gains (BTC, ETH, LTC) during a buying frenzy / irrational exuberance similar to dot-com era.
Now do you understand why? Or are you still confused...
