This is what the top 20 looked like in 2014.
Think about this.

Ethereum: Facebook
Bitcoin Cash: Amazon
Ripple: Google

How the fuck does ripple as google even make sense to you? Are you just listing random coins and companies?

>> No.3988587

What it means to me is 5-18 will be unrecognizable form the ones we know today in a year. Maybe through the process 1 sticks to the top like ETH did. Recognize that beyond top 3-5 coins, you need to have an exit strategy into one of the top 3-5 at some point.

It honestly made me realize I should dump 90% of my coins since these coins all ended up basically worthless in the long run.

>> No.3988623

did any of those coins even offer anything besides being some shitty bitcoin clone? not comparable to a lot of the newer projects like walton and chainlink.

Holy shit nearly all of them died

>> No.3988674

yeah none of those coins solved any interesting problems, they were just copycats of bitcoin with different hash rates or other meaningless bullshit differences.

Litecoin:
>doesn't do anything special
Peercoin, vertcoin, doge,master,name,infinite,feather, all stupid bullshit scams that do the same thing as bitcoin, nothing different.

Vert is the only one worth mentioning as it has LN first. but ultimately the only difference is "no asic mining" which is a communist idea that somehow mining rigs won't be able to control it. it won't work, and it's not a problem even for bitcoin.

Today's top 20 has several coins that solve different problems. There's a few eyesores (bitcoin cash, bitconnect, etc) but for the most part they are loads better than the shitcoins of 2014. Most will fail for sure but more of them will stay on the top 20 in 3 years from now.

>> No.3988675

>>3988661
That's because they were all Bitcoin rip offs. The only bitcoin rip off that survived is LiteCoin because it adapted.
But now the shitcoins actually have future uses. So there's a decent chance a good portion of them will survive. The non-shit shitcoins if you will.

5% of the coins in 2014 weren't there in 2017
I'm betting 20% - 25% of the coins in 2017 will be there in 2020.

Just because they're no longer in the top 20 doesn't mean they haven't gone up over time.

in other words for a brianlet like you, unless you lucked out with the 5-10% that held their BTC value over time you were far better off doing what? oh, holding bitcoin. also you'd have free clams right now.

peercoin was the first PoS coin, but died anyway

Back then I invested a $100 or so in Namecoin and $50 or so in LTC.
Good old days when Bitcoin went up to $1000 and everybody was hyped up.
