Thank you for this list, I actually didn't ever hear about some of the currencies on this list, so I may actually take a look at some of them and see what they are. Perhaps there's one that's actually really good. Will report back if I find something incredible.
Cool, glad you like it! I think a lot of these coins are pretty incredible. Many are very cheap in regards to market cap, so new investors can get into crypto on these old coins and actually buy a significant share of supply. Also, they have years of price history to see what the market looks like long term.
Also, many of them have their original devs- that's huge in a space where crypto coding knowledge is gold. These people were launching cryptos before anyone had ever heard of an ICO- and have been doing tech support ever since. And these ICOs that old coins compete with, they have huge market caps. The devs are instantly rich and guaranteed to be long term sellers, unlike these old devs who've probably been buying up their own coins with their own hard earned money for years. Who is going to be more loyal to the project??
Tech innovation in crypto is going to make a lot of new fancy coins irrelevant as well. As more people are working on Bitcoin tech, things like smart contracts, scaling, atomic swaps...all of it is coming to every coin- even the old ones eventually. So if all coins have all functions and become equals the only thing left to base their value on will be which are oldest.
