Happy 5th Anniversary DNotes!

There are only 25 or 30 cryptocurrencies that have made it to the 5 year mark that still appear to be at least somewhat active. The success rate per capita of coins launched up to this date 5 years ago is actually quite remarkable. On February 16, 2014 there were only 108 listings on Coinmarketcap, and 149 on March 9th when DNotes was listed. At that time, DNotes had a marketcap of $33,502. Even more remarkable is the fact that very few of these coins had any type of funding other than community donations or very small pre-mines [that caused a lot of hissy-fits].

Fast forward 5 years....

According to this site, there are 5594 cryptocurrencies, ICOs, and that have been launched, attempted to launch, or about to launch.  -  https://coinlib.io/coins?fields=rank-name-price_pref-market_cap-volume24h-delta24h-chart1&sort=rank_desc&rpp=50

The good news is that it appears to be slowing down. In the article 'Why Coin Age Matters in Cryptocurrency" [April 3, 2018], I estimated the total to be close to 5,000.  https://www.dnotesedu.com/2018/04/why-coin-age-matters-in-cryptocurrency/
