I think the OP here meant how many separate distinct unrelated coins.
Hinting that the total supply of some of them may not be enough.
Well there is a reason the FED reserve uses Quantitative Easing etc.

Let me put it this way guys.
Many of you are advocating that we all have as many Internets as possible.
Problem is they are not connected to each other.
So what then ?

Then it's not an internet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet


So the same exact thing is playing out here in crypto..
It is of no use at all losing an adopter of the Internet to Lan users here.

I am the one who said this.
As usual I am the smart one.
I had to say this in 2013 and ever since over & over.
And it's sad because it common fucking sense guys.
And really i am not very smart ..it's just in crypto i look like a genius.
Because the crowd overall is really THAT stupid & greedy.

So..
Having more & more "coins" will simply make the adoption problem worse & worse.. duh right ?

Wrong.

There is plenty of tangible reasons for a variety of different people to complain.
But since the ICO coin Ethereum is the favorite for profiteers because it's pumped..
You all line up to cry "FUD".
You may not agree with the reasons given but don't say they were not provided.

Crypto is full of greedy brats who are willing to defend any coin project.. so they can profit from it.

I myself have posted a huge ton of things that should be a red-flag for you all.
And you should listen because i was here years before you got here crying FUD for bucks $$$

This reply is not intended to recap those reasons either.
Because you all DELIBERATELY ignore them.. so why bother ?
You are greedy corrupt losers who have no interest in hearing anything bad about your bags your clutching.
All you want is to hype up your coin to lure in more victims so you can dump on them for a handsome profit.
..crying FUD every step of the way.

If you are willing to listen to the criticism then it's right there for you in front of your nose.
If your not then you are a fool and will most certainly get burned.
Because it proof you are stupid and / or deceitful.

..good luck with that yappy lippy greedy noobs

PS:
Nice English buddy.
What part of India are you from kid ?

Can we get an English translation please ?
And NOOB who just got here crying FUD for bucks ? ..what the fuck do you know about it ?
Me ? I had the dev demand he was suing me for defamation.
I am still waiting for the lawsuit too.  
Do it you little punk bitch hahahhaha

Cry FUD moar little greedy brats.. see if i care.
YOU are the one who will end up broke later.. not me.  

Did i or did i not just point out how the people supporting it were complaining on the ANN topic ?
Wasn't me doing it because if i say anything he deletes my comment with mass censorship.
Self-Moderated scam coin topic to ensure there is no criticism ever by anyone for any reason.
Monero style 

It's simple, their not.

It's more about a degree of this attribute.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how decentralized is it.

For example Ripple vs Bitcoin.. obvious right ?

A good way to think of it is.. someone has the keys to the Github account right ?
Then.. be aware the owner of Cryptsy claimed his exchange was hacked and everyone lost their coins via a malicious Github code update.

Also..
An ICO by design in itself is the antithesis of decentralization.
When i envision how ICO's got started i always thought of it this way..
I sit at home and "make" some coin by downloading Github.zip
Then, i run the coin at home by myself and premine how ever many coins i want. (as total supply)
Next step is send it to a centralized exchange who sells my shitcoins.
Now tell me.. what part of that is decentralized ?

NONE OF IT

AKA: ICO = scam.

Oh and tacking on the ability to mine the coin later is irrelevant.
It's like robbing a bank then saying.. well, i'm planning to give some to charity.
So fucking what !

Bad is bad guys.

Look in the service discussion section here..
Normally i'd report your topic and it would be moved but i'm trying to be nice.  

And i don't use the place and i already heard that is a common problem lately.. sooo ?

@OP
You are almost 4 years too late for the Ethereum ICO.
Nor did you stand much of a chance either.. some whale was buying them up ASAP as it launched in 100 BTC blocks over & over.
Hmmm... i wonder who would have done that ?

Ohh sorry i think you meant ICO inception ?

An ICO within an ICO with an ICO for teh ROI'z 

ya uhmmm good luck with that ROFL
uggggh fuck.. why do i come here again ? 

Did you really not get what i just said ?
I am not sure i could put it any other way....... again.
As i have been saying EVERY DAY since that story came out (and on that very story via Disqus)

A currency works 1 way.
That is all there is to it.
Otherwise it's not a currency.

And i will tell ya another thing.. AGAIN.
If the coin is not adopted then it's not a currency.
A currency has to be adopted and used as such to be one.

You don't need to be a rocket doctor to get this either.. it's pretty simple stuff guys.

You guys are all participating in a new age digital variant of the classic pyramid scheme.
..a greater fools game.

Reality is no ICO ever accomplished anything.
And none will because of what i said earlier (how they work)

Your greatest ICO achievement is a scammy ass app's platform that is not used.. nor even a currency.
Called Ethereum.
Do people place the value of it so high because the fuel tokens are are such high demand for the intended purpose ?
Or..
Are the ICO scam coin simply inflated in value to epic proportions because idiots are flooding in here buying them hoping it gets pumped again ?

If you don't see what i see then i think you are broke already.
Because it tells me you are 100% oblivious to the real dangers of the charade being played out here.

LOLZ:
ETH will replace Bitcoin the Investards said lots before.
So.. buy Bitcoin then use that to BUY Ethereum coins.
See a problem with that procedure ?
Yeah i ROFL'd  
We're not dealing with very bright bulbs around here hahahahah



Liek OMG buy teh Ethereumz cause Putin Mcirisoft IBMS big BANZ are buying dem !!!!!1111ONE

Reading this gave me 1 LOL ..you know who you are
And the rest of you gave me a headache.

Either you are all 10 years old or foreigners (or both)
Listening to you butcher the English language is insufferable.

I sawd'd teh exchangerz turnded offs teh Trollboxers i aemz saddorz
Is teh newz fastest fer teh profitz coins  

Yo news flash for those of you Investarded and riding a camel in India..
A chat box is not technical support.. file a ticket and keep the whining to a dull roar.
And yeah if you demand support on one you will get banned.
Duh.

Spamming ?
Yup.. they will shut it down.
Surprised ? You were doing it.. not someone else.
You did this guys ..so enjoy the result.

My advice is go to Freenode and use a channel there.
You can use web chat from your web browser or an IRC client like Mirc.
I do on rare occasions..
I have many names including Spoetnik, mprep, BigVern and many others registered  

uuuugh jeez man.

The point to a currency is usage.
So how the fucking hell is a currency even going to work if each person has the own coin ?

FAIL.

That is not how currencies work guys.. this shit failed bad.. game over.

I find it pretty damn funny there is 4,500 users when i recently looked at night here..
Then in the day time i seen 8,500 roughly logged in.
Meanwhile there is 1 million+ accounts and over 10,000 ANN topics.

ALTCOINS  

PS:
I predicted it too way back.
Back when this story was out.. http://www.coindesk.com/need-altcoins-can-get/

What is the purpose ? a currency ?
Well ETH is not a currency.

Why would they adopt it unless they wanted DAPPS ?
App's on a block-chain is going to do what now ?

If they wanted to do something crypto coin related wouldn't it make more sense to use a pure currency and not an ICO scheme coin system with vast amounts of bloated pointless un-needed insecure code ?

Wouldn't the smaller currency be a better option ?
Vs Butters Vitalibloat scheme system.

Depends on the coin of course and maybe the exchange used etc too.
The real question would be is there people here that *CAN* do that ?

Well.. think of it this way.
The shitheads from Ethereum handed each other free money before their ICO.
A huge list of "Staff" got paid well !

Following me ?
Ok now go look at what each ETH ICO SCAM COIN is worth now.

Fun Fact:
Risto from Monero infamy said he forgot he had 2.2 million dollars worth of coins on Polo.
He said his account was not verified so it was pretty much stuck there because of withdrawal limits.
And he said he didn't care.

So.. did you make 50 cents on scam coins today ? Congrats you are the winner !

Why do you need an alternative (of Bitcoin) currency to store things ?

Buy a hard drive..

Use a currency to buy something..

- Sage wisdom from your pal Spoetnik 

Good riddance.. i don't need Trollonibox 

@Pearls Before Swine
THIS !
I laughed so hard hahahhaha
His abuse of the English language ROFL

Seriously these mush mouth foreigners love to use the language gap to their advantage.
Do i get to putter around in non-english sections acting dumb too ?

I am's no stealer
I caen haz green trust nows ?

Uhmm no.. scam'tard you can't  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_al-Haytham#Scientific_method

A man from Iraq literally wrote the book on science.
He laid out the formula and it is the method used in all cultures in all of history until today.

Science is in fact what i just said.
It is the act of examination.. not about the conclusions.
A key problem we struggle with as seen in my earlier examples is we just don't have enough information to draw a conclusive theory out of things.

We don't possess the ability to travel to the center of the galaxy and throw a rock into the black hole to make sure it's actually there.. so.. we guess.

People always assume i am a black & white person but i have led my life entirely in the grey area.
Every aspect of my life revolves around degrees of certainty.

For example i may break up with my girl-friend because i have proof she cheated.
But in actuality i may have been duped into thinking that for another reason such as she WANTED me to think that and simply wanted me to dump her.
Unless i seen the guys dick stuffed inside her i have to assume things.
Then it goes right back to a degree of certainty as usual..

But yeah AL Hazen seen the formula and then taught it to his students.
And it just so happens to be the exact formula used by every scientist since.
Deductive reasoning.

Real facts are elusive and rare.
It is what it is.

Space travel for example is nothing but guess work and we find that it works then assume it's true.
Then later we find out our theories were wrong and we got lucky.
Which is a key point to Hazen's work.. re-examination.
All facts should be re-examined.. because they *may be wrong.
Anyone who does not second guess them self and their so called facts are idiots he said.

I was not being "Self righteousness"
I was talking all along about the tech behind an ICO.
I specifically pointed out yet again how the initial distribution is scammy.

To me it is about the code and nothing else.. every other aspect to it is a secondary matter.
The fact you guys are not smart enough to grasp that screams stupidity to me.

All i hear is scammers crying FUD because i threatened their ROI's income.
You are not offering an intelligent rebuttal to my technical assertions.

At no point did i claim ICO's are scammy because they hurt my feelings.
Noooope.. on the contrary i typed out in bold text it's because of HOW THEY FUNCTION BY DESIGN.

I keep pointing your horse heads at the water and all you babies do is pull away mumbling about ROI's and FUD.

And i can safely speak for planet earth here profiteers & investards..
Earth gove 0 fucks about your ICO's.
Bitcoin impressed the shit out of people.
ICO's do not.

Earth adopted Bitcoin.
Earth is not going to buy your ICO bags.

An ICO is a scammy downgrade from Bitcoin.
ALL ICO's !
The distribution model is scammy and will never be better than a mined launched coin such as BTC.
The code to an ICO and how it works is a down grade from Bitcoin etc.

I fucking dare any of you to say the ICO was an improvement over BTC's initial distribution model.
Seriously do it little greedy shitheads.
Because if you can prove that case then yeah you can then convince earth to come running here to buy your fucking gay ass shitty scammy ICO bags.

..otherwise they ain't comin' investards so wake the fuck up already.

"Self righteousness"
I think not NOOB ACCOUNT.
It's about greedy pieces of shit writing SCAM CODE.. then compiling it and sending it to POLO for ROI's.

Bull.. fucking.. shit.

All that was said is Butters was going to meet Putin.. that is it.
This is yet more lying deceitful shill tard news from the usual frauds.

The CIA requested to meet Gavin so does that mean the US govt is using Bitcoin now ?
Fuck buddy you are such a lying fucking fraud.
(that actually happened / Gavin admitted)

Where the hell did you get "Country may use Ethereum to create national virtual currency" from ?

ETH = ICO SCAM COIN .

Oh and by the way.. Putin is rather familiar with Bitcoin etc.
Read the Crypto + Russia stories posted at Coindesk during 2013.  
Yeah.. that was many years before you got here shill tard.

AND and..

You already posted this but reposted it with a lie tacked on.. trying hard huh ?  

And and and..
I read this before i read your repost shit here..
https://www.neowin.net/news/ethereum-inventor-met-with-president-putin-at-spief-2017#comments

AND AND AND AND..


That is what we know.
So.......
How did you get this from it ?
Country may use Ethereum to create national virtual currency ?

Simple.. you lied.
AGAIN.

Like Microsoft and big banks and IBM etc etc..
Jesus apparently every govt and tech company on earth is using ETH eh ?
Well.. except, their not 

If their life revolved around acting like a 5 year old screaming nonsense then uhh yeah.

I had watched it from start to finish and when i went there last month i was appalled.
It had turned into a fucking pathetic farce.
Far too many screaming idiots posting complete gibberish.

I take it they shut it down ?

Well i saw guys trying to use it as tech support in the midst of little kids screaming.
Do i need to point out that that is not what it's for ?
Create a ticket.. wait.. STFU.

But nope you idiot brats ruin a good thing ..if allowed to.
Just like all of crypto.

Reminds me of the Doge launch heydays.. crypto attracted a wave of childish little idiots.

Science is assumptions most of the time.. deductive reasoning.
Trying to tease out a conclusion with a degree of certainty.

Two prime examples..

The claim we have a super-massive black hole at the center of our Galaxy.
This was proven with time lapse images basically.
We got shots over a long period of time that showed us objects moving in ways that could really only be explained by the gravitational forces of a large black hole.

But.. the reality is we never did go there and see it and get 100% proof it exists.
It's difficult to even see it in most ways because it's obscured by all the dust & gas clouds in the galaxy too.
And yet we proclaim it exists as "fact".
There could be another reason for the behavior we witnessed.

My second example is how we found another large planet.. planet X was supposedly found.
The scientific community mostly scoffed at the assertion.
But i noticed in the comments online on the news stories i was the only one to point out how we effectively used the same method of detection on the super massive black holes.
So i said to them all if we used it to "prove" they exist then why is this same method of testing *NOT* proof for planet x then ?
I never got a rebuttal from the legions of mouthy scientist / experts.
They were all far too interested in the classification of Pluto.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
If that same testing method PROVES the black hole exists then yeah.. we have another planet.

Both though are simply a guess.
Neither have been seen with our own eyes and proven as factual.
We simply deduce they are there.

Another example at the root of almost all space science is the standard candle theory.
yet another "guess"
The other 2 methods of measuring distance are almost always impractical to be used.
Such as parallax.. covering one eye then the other then measuring the distance between them etc.
Or star wobble measurements.. which is more convincing but still just an elementary deduction.
..guessing in other words.

Science is all about guessing things with a reasonably high degree of certainty.
It has little to do with facts.
