Who remembers flared jeans, Disco music, mullet hairdos?
We all do, right, coz those 'fashions' had some merit, and they'll keep being recycled forever. They never left, just occasionally pop-up from obscurity, then go back underground again being kept alive by the die-hard fans.
People get bored quickly, and humans always desire new stuff, and sometimes the best new stuff is recycled old stuff that 'worked' previously.
In the last couple of weeks the recent alt revival seems to have unearthed the PoS community coins - COMM TALK COFFEE ENRG - maybe some others also.
Is this a good thing?
Some of the community coins actually had pretty reasonable distributions without obvious IPO scams etc, so I'm paying attention. A rising tide lifts all boats!!
ENRG is well and truly back, and TALK & COMM look promising too. Not sure about COFFEE though, maybe too early to tell. I do agree that community coins from that time weren't shackled with as many obvious scams as IPO coins, and seemed to be more exuberant experiments from eager newbie devs who later dropped the ball. If others pick them up and continue then that's a plus for cryptos in general, as it shows some coins aren't always vulnerable to the 'single points of failure' that comes with having a lone wolf dev.
