Altcoins were born inspired by Bitcoin, so every company launched tokens and coins. Regardless of what the end goal is, I don't think it can be generalized that all altcoins are scams. Perhaps more precisely you could say partially. You are right that Bitcoin is the only one that doesn't have a centralized company, but you should also know that there are altcoins that serve the same purpose as Bitcoin in terms of maintaining anonymity. Don't just because the Luna and FTT cases make it difficult for you but behind the scenes you are still using CEX.
I think the end goal for 99.99999% of the altcoins that was created were to make money for the founder and nothing more. I am not saying that we shouldn't invest into alts, like ETH and BNB are solid ones that I love so much, but people are going down the list way too much, investing into something that is not even in the top 20 or something and then they cry when it goes down.
I think your percentage is too high considering there are a few altcoins that are created because of the developers love for innovation and wanted to test it out. They are even established without asking any crowdfunding and just let the market dictate if it will be accepted by the masses or not. But sadly most of these altcoin doesn't cater attention and end up dead. So I guess you should lessesn your 99.99999% to 99.8%
. On a serious note, I agree that all of these altcoins that crowdfund their project are after money. There is nothing we can do on that but not to participate but several people and investors think of it as an opportunity to gain profit so they jump into thise kind of crowdfunding without thinking of possible losses.
Just realize that nobody has your best interest in their heart, only you have it. So, invest into things that people cannot abuse to make themselves richer. Luna and FTX had that chance, and that’s why they went down, bitcoin doesn't have it, that’s why it won't go down like that.
I agree, everyone is self-centered. They always want to prioritize their wants over other so we must not expect others to give us any advantage especially those cryptocurrency project that has central authority. Only Bitcoin has no central authority so Bitcoin is always fair to all.
I appreciate all your opinions about bitcoin and other cryptos.
In my opinion, bitcoin is a digital asset that does not depend on anyone and will not be affected by anything. i mean bitcoin will survive without altcoins even if some altcoins die it will not affect bitcoin in future.
I beg to disagree, Bitcoin development depends on the developers for development. Bitcoin price depends on supply and demand in the market. Bitcoin depends on miners to support its network and continuously produce blocks. And Bitcoin propagation depends on every individual to promote and use Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is nothing but Bitcoin with its developers and miners and the community is superb.
of the many altcoins, in the future there will surely be a collapse or death for various reasons such as the cases of Luna and FTT. and one of the reasons is that altcoin companies will only be concerned with personal gain rather than thinking about altcoin uses.
The cryptocurrency industry is survival of the fittest, those that cater to lots of community and continue to propagate will surely survive but those that failed to gain enough community is doomed to die. Also cryptocurrency project that think crypto is the best way to exploit people will eventually get exposed and be jailed.
