Bitcoin was the original and thus the most innovative. Also there have been dozens of BIPs.
True there has been some innovation in cryptocurrency in other coins since Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean Bitcoin is antiquated. It is still superior due it's network effect.
Very well said!! People tend to forget there would be no altcoins without Bitcoin laying the foundation with blockchain. Bitcoin's ecosystem is far more mature and still reigns supreme in adoption, investment, value, network. I hardly see how it is antiquated or inadequate. being open-source, it can (in most cases) be improved to keep up to date with the latest innovations.
Markets in general are becoming more mature. People are less influenced by hype and slick marketing. They want substance and value. This is especially true in cryptocurrency. Without innovation, you will quickly be labeled by many as a scamcoin.
So the original launch deadline is tomorrow but neucoin has yet to release a single thing that could be considered of substance and value, therefore any grandiose claims of innovation over other coins will be taken for what it is: bullshit.
