Easy way to make lots of money for little work.

game theory

Cute boi.

more coins = more scams

Wouldn't you want a money printing machine you can make for free?

90% of them were made to make the developers quick millionaires

the point? make improvements, iterations, alternatives

it creates a healthy competition and some coins complementate each other, bitcoin for example is not fundamentally designed to be used for small payments globaly due to fees and times, yet, that's solved with variety

Look at the fees

bitcoin, as simple as it is, is the best fit for preserving value.

coiners fags complain so much about bitcoin fees and timings, but reality is, you can look at gold standard and all its difficulties for moving it, buying, selling costs, even storage, doesn't make it less good.

$$$$

...

*99%

pump and dump....

99% of them are bullshit scams... and this place is over-run with garbage.

altcoins bring something new to the tech, shitcoins/memecoins are solely get rich scheme for devs

Improvements in BTC like segwit or a HF to a bigger block would make it more viable for payments though.

There have always been heaps of competing currencies, the only thing to stop them in recent years is 20 years of anal rape if you create one these days,
The law hasn't caught up with crypto so it's the 1800s all over again with everyone making their own currencies.

Ok faggot, compare any LTC fork to gold, those are better than gold than even bitcoin is in terms of storage, fees, time, etc.

Your arguement is invalid.

we would not have the pink wojack, think about it

>the point? make improvements, iterations, alternatives
But why not improve the one you have instead of creating hundreds of pull requests? This is the same thing as distros. Dozens of versions, not one perfect. Instead, focus all the problem solving skill into one big version.

Ignore ICOs and tokens.

The rest are real coins that each try to bring something new to the table in terms of cryptography, speed, anonymity, etc...

It's a bubble

it's a way to steal bitcoins from retards. altcoin devs know only bitcoin has value so they create a shitcoin and pump it so that every cunt exchange their precious bitcoins for their memecoins.

Because there's lots of suckers and people butt mad they "missed" Bitcoin
