....
one thing you didnt mentioned , ESP was an airdrop totally free and CC did not asked any money to develop the project , everything from his pocket/time .... but i agree on some points ESP coin didnt advanced in development as if it still in 2016 and i dont see any hope for this coin to be honest, my 2 cents.
Well since you mentioned it... Yes, this is true.
But remember the original coin had 500B supply then he swapped to a new chain with to 50B (10:1)? Do you know why all devs doing this do it? So that they can keep the remaining unsnapped coins.
Ask CCZ what happened with the 2B left? Nobody is taking anymore about it...
