It seems to me that new coins always have a good start but then quickly fall off. I imagine it could be a number of reasons. Personally, I have a experience in real life community management and I can develop, plus I have some seed money. I would love to start a coin or even pick up a dead one someday. But I recognize there are important factors to making it work such as a crypto-friendly established and proud community, start up money, reliable devs and admins, some kind of mission, etc. Local PAPER alt-currencies can work in towns. My city is about 100K residents. I'm just outside of Boston, MA, USA. My city has MIT, a Google Office, A Microsoft office, Harvard University, Tufts University, etc. I think a local coin would be a big hit. I also think several niche coins could launch from here such as a Cannabis coin, a Social 'wealth distribution' model for poverty/charity, and even a music coin. I'm still learning all the technical specifics though of building the wallets, blockchain explorer, etc.

Just the ol' brain ticking.

Thanks to those who bothered to give some insight and comment. So far my experience here has been hostile LOL!
