Nice post, but seems like I have read this exact article before somewhere else... If you didn't write this yourself - it's a good idea to cite your sources. If others are reading this remember: There is no substitute for your own research. Look into these alt coins with a high level of skepticism and read the white papers. Find out who the team is that is backing it and building it. Does the idea have an actual use in society. Do they have any activity on github? Are any real life market forces going to aid in the success of the underlying technology? ... Question to the void! and don't be a sheep! That is the true meaning of crypto - free your mind! (and your wallet)
