Drink analogy was not my original point. That is your idea.
I didn't assume to discuss comparisons and analogies, it was not the point of this topic.
I'm comparing apples with apples.
if you are gonna compare cola with beer, it would be like comparing cryptocoins with treasury bonds, which wasn't your original point.
Just following your logic, if you believe that some coins are simple clones, is it not safer to use them instead of "innovative" imitations of wannabe colas?
Innovations can be different. In the U.S. or Japan you can patent not only technical solutions.
There are way too many altcoins, most of which are just shitcoins with no innovation, created for the main purpose of making a quick buck.
Huntercoin (HUC) is completely innovative, it is a pioneer of Human-proof, with market capitalization $17,000.
Dogecoin is not innovative with market capitalization $18 million, but it is the gate to cryptos for many people, and has contributed a lot in generally increasing the acceptance and publicity of cryptos.
