I think there will be a coin to equal bitcoin, or get up there and about it.  This coin will have to be more open to the public and reward the public for using it.  I believe Minerva could be up there one day, who knows.

My biggest regret is when I got introduced to this back in 2012, I tried to buy £200 worth, the platform was down and I never bothered, just recently woke up to it again at over £4k per coin, it is a physiological thing where I don't want to buy at that price.

I've been searching for how to get the rankings, thanks for the explanation.

I think the're popular like as most people say they were the first cryptocurrency. All the exposure in the news etc has only made people more aware of it.  Yes I agree most are scams although I do think Minerva seem to be making waves and deserves a closer look.

Instead of mining do you think it would be better to buy shares in the companies who provide the software for mining, i.e. AMD and NVIDIA processors

I think the reason they are holding onto it is because of the hype around it and how it could potentially reach the 10's of thousands

I love this idea and concept and think there will be another coin to rival bitcoin, who knows this could be it.  I remembered the other day that I had got told about bitcoin back in 2011, I looked over all my old emails and realised that I had opened a crypto wallet and tried to purchase some bitcoin, unfortunately the platform was down at the time and I just never bothered with it again, seems to be the story of my life    I do understand though that a lot of people are going to make a lot of money over the years through crypto currency.  There is one bit though I can't get my head around.  For people to buy the coins they are going to have to use their mastercard or visa.  So these are still king.  If as they say they have got a platform for launch with £20 million turnover and 10 million customers.  OK I get where the platform won't have to pay any fees to visa or mastercard and will benefit from getting owl coins.  What's in it for the consumer, I take it they will still have to buy owl coins through visa or mastercard.  If they are purchasing something for £100 they may have to buy £110 worth of owl coins to cover price movements etc.  Why would they go through all that hastle if they can just buy direct using mastercard or visa.  I take it the platform will still have these options open.
