I am a high school student. I learned about Bitcoin, but it's too late. I was so young. Because I was 4 years old in 2009. But as history tells us, bitcoin killer will emerge one day. I want to find out such coin, but I don't have enought knowledge and ability to do that.. I want to ask the smart people here. Is there a coin that is similar to Bitcoin now? something that is perfectly decentralized. I want to invest there. If there's a coin you're making, is fine too. Just let me know. I hope this post becomes a legend.
Sure, you can find new coins or tokens, but none of them are "next bitcoin", and same thing goes with the fact that there will not be "next ethereum".
Why?
Because they filled a void, becoming next something isn't filling a void. It's trying to replicate something. Like the mooning event of bitcoin.
If you want to find next big thing. Look for the originality and the tech. Not just something that tries to copy something and making it faster. Usually they are just cutting corners and security to achieve that.
For example Erc721 was original and most people missed it, as they needed to process how it works. There was no token really, as anyone could make one, but just knowing what's going on in the scene puts you in a special position where you know what's probably coming in near future. So follow the announcements, read endless amount of white papers and reviews and you eventually might strike gold.
You can obviously listen to unknown people, but nine times out of them it will get you lured in to scam or buying someone else's bags.
That's what the hype is. Telling people to buy their bags on the top. No one just says it out loud. And most likely they won't tell you after they sold.
