Title: [QUESTION] HELP ME UNDERSTAND - WHY SO MANY POINTLESS COINS?
Post by: Primitive on July 21, 2014, 07:08:52 AM
can someone ELI5 why so many pointless coins are popping up?  there are the obvious outrageous shitcoins which are just a joke, but then there are like a 100 coins that are just pointless clones.  and everybody seems excited to mine them etc.

what am i missing?  i don't get it.  there is literally zero chance that these coins will be here in a year. and who in their right mind would be these coins from miners on an exchange?
