Why so few cryptos?
Because
i) Cryptos have the second mover disadvantage. Bitcoin has the first mover advantage and unless bitcoin runs into a major problem, wil always be stronger longterm. Just look at Coke. First mover and always ahead of Pepsi, despite unrelentless attempts of Pepsi to take over market leadership.
ii) Most cryptos do not have a big enough competitive advantage or differentiation to overcome barrier i)
iii) Monero might gain more traction and that's why I hold them
Which ones do you suggest. I am happy to get convinced depending on your arguments.Well BBR would be a better option than Monero. Its 1/15 the current market cap, better tech, and is about to get a lot of press for a lot of reasons, some of them obvious to those of use in the alt crypto world and some of them not so obvious.
