I defined eight basic levels of cryptocurrencies. What you think about it?
Tokens Tiers.
Tier 1: Bitcoin & Ethereum
Tier 2: Tokens representing real crypto platforms (Cardano, IoTA, Waves, ...)
Tier 3: Tokens backed by real business (Ripple)
Tier 4: Tokens with narrow specialization like payments, anonymity, etc. (Monero, Zcash... )
Tier 5: Growtech forks (Neo, Stellar,...)
Tier 6: Miners' forks (Bitcoin cash,...)
Tier 7: Hyped Tokens
Tier 8: Useless shitcoins
Not only Ripple is backed by real business, and sometimes useless sh*tcoins are hyped too, but I agree with you in general. Indeed, Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most promising ones, and tokens like Cardano and IOTA, although they are falling right now like all others, will most likely be doing good in the future since they are representing unique and useful platforms. And, like you, I too think that miners' forks will hardly have a future in the long term, so, they are rightfully placed on the 6th tier.
How about tokens created by messengers, loyalty platforms, crypto echanges and other real working businesses? Should I put them in Tier 3 together with Ripple?
