The new fork was traded as caps on livecoin before they shut down. Its not traded anywhere now afaik.
I agree that bottlecaps was a decent coin, but that was years ago. What makes a coin good is its community imho. If 1000 new people wanted to own cap the distribution would be better. But there probably isn't 1000 new people in the world who would even want to download and sync a QT wallet today. New people buy bsc tokens and other shitcoins they can store in multiicoin wallets on their phones. The era of legacy coins like bottlecaps is past.
There is one small thing that 'legacy' coins have though.
If some average joe or jane steps in to crypto today, with no experience, his or her first choice, if they have some idea for a coin, is to build it on some chain that facilitates making new coins.
Then though they need to onboard people etc, but there really is no perception of quality in the market.
If you have an utter shitcoin and a high quality coin there is absolutely no inclination by the public to gravitate toward the better coin. Everything is marketing, pump crews, scamming etc.
The difference with starting on an established older chain is that there are bagholders, some of them smart, who can bring muscle to a coin if it stands out a bit.
So, for example, with bottlecaps a person could spend their money buying up bottlecaps, and they would have both a stake and a pre built 'community' of more experienced types.
Coins have always been about pumping and waiting for a cash out, and they will be until better useful coins are developed.
regarding 'what makes a coin good is its community', that's really the core of the problem. Everybody wants to join a gang and nobody is really that interested in making decent coins. Back in the day bottlecaps was a way to learn about coins, but like all other coins once it was developed it just stagnated. 'active development' is just a scammy phrase that means wallets are updated, and 'community' is just a bunch of people waiting for somebody else to do something.
