What's the point of altcoins? Doesn't decentralization mean that everyone can join and work on the project regardless of anything? So why aren't some of the greatest minds, like Vitalik or Charles working on improving bitcoin? Why do we f!@#$ng have 1600 crypto currencies in the space? I only see ads with "hello we built this awesome currency that does this and does that" for what? We already have bitcoin! I know it's old and rusty, but that's why you develop, and that's why you rework.

I'm a developer myself. I have re-built my game from ground up three times now. Just because I wrote it badly, doesn't mean I have to release it and not put anything new because I'd completely break it. I'm sure there are workarounds, even if we have to fork the coin, and start from scratch.

But instead, we have groups of people who fork coins and state that they are doing something awesome, while they aren't. And we ended up with 169 different bitcoins, and 1400 other (bit)coins as well, which is really hurting my feelings.

And now we even have companies like bitmain, who, in my honest opinion have completely destroyed the whole concept of decentralization.

My take on all this fuss is that, crypto is in a really bad position. Don't get me wrong. The technology IS revolutionary. It's just that humanity is just not ready yet for such a thing, as greed and selfishness are still ruling our realms.

And by the looks of it, I don't think humanity will ever be ready for this.

It's all about the fucking money. And if someone tells me otherwise, I'm sorry but I'd really slap him.

Thanks for reading!

This depends on how you see altcoins and how you use them. Humanity may not be really ready with the innovations in cryptocurrency but its already adopted and used by many which means cryto has already been embraced by many.
