I don't understand how these minor coins are planning to survive? You need market, you need merchants, you need liquidity and at least a few hundreds of people using it.
I completely agree, but would change hundred to thousands, or hundreds of thousands.
If the main focus of a project is centered around crypto currency people, traders, investors, miners, then there can only be limited success, if any. For a currency to earn any value, it must have significant outreach and prioritise adoption. simply it must try to be a currency for people.
