Here are characteristics of Cryptocurrency
In my opinion these are what should be considered before investing in Cryptocurrencies:
* They must be Decentralized on public Blockchain.
* They must be very secured
* They must be Opensource.
* Must respect users privacy. Identify should not matter (for good reasons) as far as Crypto/Blockchain is concerned.
* Must be Mineable.
* must be Deflationary.
* Blockchain cannot be altered or regulated by humans.
The worst part is other newbs who support all these coins.
How could you be in crypto and not care for something basic like decentralization, mind blowing.
As long as a coin is based on technology like blockchain, solving problems and is of some utility, it’s surely a crypto currency for me. Decentralization or not doesn’t matter to me as long as there is development of blockchain technology and we see some great utilities.
