Unless your alt-coin offers something truly innovative, it won't succeed.
It's a bit comical, really.
That's interesting considering the number of first person shooters that ripped off Quake for years now. I was involved in creating one of the original add-on packs and THOSE ideas have been redefined for years. The only comedy is when very tight knit communities believe their narrow view of a technology is the same as the general public. There's been quite a few games (like ROTT) that really broke away from the mold and still didn't reach it's potential on sales.
Visa, Mastercard, American Express... what's the difference? Ask the nerds, the rest of the public are too busy using the product to care.
I respect your opinion, I just think this bubble needs to step outside and see what really matters to people. For now, the crypto community controls the price on everything but Bitcoin... hopefully that will change when some break through like Bitcoin.
