There are a lot of cryptocurrencies on the market right now, from those that focus on privacy to those that focus on development.
What other features or technologies are out there that people are hoping to get?
More liquidized and more decentralized like bitcoins because this is the only way to overcome other competitors nowadays especially those who are starting to make their own crypto projects. the market has gone too far now and they should have come up with new valid things that are not only imaginations in their roadmaps which most likely are not true. What we need today are cryptocurrencies that cannot budge whatever the SEC does to them and they cannot do something about it except it is illegal internationally but as I said, if they can make another like bitcoins and have some advanced features and kinds of stuff and also being decentralized, it would be better.
A deeper basis is required for cryptocurrencies than simply copying Bitcoin's decentralization. Search the area! There are numerous initiatives on the market with roadmaps full of flimsy assurances. Their lack of vision causes them to fail.
The SEC and other foreign organizations will continue to oppose cryptocurrencies, so what you're recommending seems more like a disobedience tactic than a calculated approach. These projects should provide original and practical solutions to current issues rather than merely creating a "Bitcoin 2.0." Its not about eluding authorities but rather about building a system that is so strong and unquestionably superior that authorities will have no choice but to submit to it.
