If I was considering investing any real money into cryptos, this would certainly scare me away from investing in any shitcoins. It'd also scare me away from investing in any crypto whatsoever.
^^^This. Try explaining to Joe Average why a crapcoin is a crapcoin without mentioning Bitcoin...
Well, my point was, shitcoins wouldn't scare me away from investing in cryptos. All of this talk of hacking, forking and extortion would, however ... and also keep me from investing into bitcoins too.
This thread basically conveys a message that the crypto world is run by 15 year old trolls, who wish to hack and fork coins so they can make money off of it. No serious investor would bother.
