You used to get some semi sensible discussions in this section with some posts actually making sense and interesting projects being discussed, now the entire section is just full of Bullshit.
Altcoin section is not yet dead , it is just plagued with a lot of trolls recently .
first it was litecoin and now it is monero , and tomorrow it is going to be another altcoin that they are claiming is the next replacement for bitcoin!!
and this was always the way things go , because the nature of altcoins requires that. but you can still find good discussions here too.
