I was talked out of getting into Ethereum a few months ago by some veterans here who said that it would never last.
you should never act on anything that people say here. there's a million and more vested interests and disinformation's more prominent than information. do your homework and decide for yourself.
and i'm gonna piss all over that point already by saying why consider a coin because of its youth marketability? or any marketability? one added word is enough to sway you to a coin that's a few days old?
youth don't care about what's going on here and won't for a long time to come. the learning curve is so steep that only the most switched on would consider taking the plunge.
