A lot of cryptocurrencies have been created throughout time.
I personally have not held onto any old or even dead blockchains.
But I am working on a new project focused on old blockchains and with the attempt of reviving them.
I wanna ask what everyone here is holding onto.
I am mainly interested in coins from 2014 and older, but anything you deem "old" is welcome!
I might hit you up if I find your coin interesting
One of my new picks is Leacoin because of its age and simple configuration.
I've been holding onto both Namecoin and Peercoin for a very long time. These are one of the oldest projects in the crypto space that are often unnoticed by everyday people. Namecoin is an innovative altcoin with its own domain name system. You can create websites without the fear of censorship by creating a ".bit" domain. Sites can be accessed using browser extensions like "PeerName" and "dotbit.me" quickly and easily. Buying a domain name that ends in ".bit" is much more cheaper than buying traditional TLDs like ".com", ".net", ".org", etc.
The other altcoin called Peercoin was the very first PoS cryptocurrency ever created. It's hybrid too, so that means you can use your existing SHA-256 ASIC miners for Bitcoin to mine Peercoin. A total stake rate of 1% per year prevents massive inflation, in order to preserve the cryptocurrency's price across the market. The original dev (Sunny King) of the Peercoin project, also launched an innovative cryptocurrency called Primecoin. This is also a very old coin that's undervalued considering that its PoW algorithm helps science with the discovery of new prime numbers. While Bitcoin's mining process is often claimed to be energy-inefficient, that's not the case with Primecoin as computational power (hashrate) is used for the benefit of mankind.
There are so many other good-old altcoins on the market right now that are worth looking into. Since many people are often focused on big players in the crypto space, these old projects tend to become unnoticed. Some become abandoned in its entirety due to lack of interest/demand from both the developers and everyday users. The coins I've mentioned previously are still actively traded on the market (although they're quite cheap in price these days), which shows that there are still people using/supporting them.
As for me, I'll continue to "hodl" onto both NMC and PPC for the long term as they're tried-and-tested Blockchain projects like Bitcoin. Someday, I hope they'll gain traction depending on how well they continue developing and improving over time. But no one knows what will happen in the future as crypto is truly unpredictable.
