And that doesn't apply to other minor altcoins (FC, MNC, BTE, .. ) in exactly which way ?
The original creator and now the current active maintainers directly claim that it's an entertainment coin. From the bbqcoin.org:
"BBQcoin (BQC) was originally created to be a “fun” crypto coin (Cubox making the initial public release post) and something that users could experiment with and get enjoyment out of."
I mined thousands of them and gave them away so other members of the community could enjoy them. Now the community is awash in noobs and BQC is suddenly real money? It reeks of opportunism. As I've said before, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
Aaaand we officially have coin-white-knights
