why people keep going for the "bitcoin something", or the "Eth something", or "Ltc something"... all these coins are usually shit made by scammers that just want to cash in on the hype gained through the name...
Or do you think that with so many developers that Bitcoin core has, there would be bitcoin genious going loose on BTT forum and producing new kinds of better bitcoin??
you can count 1 in a 1000 of these projects that it is not scam...
Money is the main factor for what they are being created and there is no serious purpose behind this. Bitcoin is the only true innovation so that I also agreed with you there is just marketing strategy who used to create fake hype and let them buy on fake promises. Bitcoin has great team of devs that is why its leading.
From the beginning since the emergence of coins that have no mission vision like bitcoin is just going to make a profit, the creators are very intelligent to make news manipulation where and almost everyone in the world crypto interested and eventually they lose their money. But if their money is redeemed to bitcoin it is a good choice.
