I'm not sure I've understood you. Perhaps I should rephrase.

I can only imagine three reasons to support a coin in the current market. I can imagine that patriotism might spur Brits to buy SterlingCoin, or Britcoin for that matter, causing it's value to increase and a trading market to exist. Of course a coin can be pumped and dumped by wealthy investors looking to make easy money, but that's really just playing on the former point, whereby they're encouraging patriots to by in and start the ball bouncing. Finally, the coin can actually be developed to distinguish itself from others by providing functionality or solve a problem.

So far I haven't read anything to the effect that this team are trying to solve a problem, providing the world with a currency worth using instead of, or in addition to Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, or other interesting prospects like IOTA.

On that basis, given that the project appears to be treading water and the devs are taking stock, etc., I wonder if there's any sense in gambling on IOTA's Tangle technology actually replacing Blockchain in the future, and attempt to set up one of the earliest Tangle-based currencies instead?

Hello. I'm new here, and to crypto. I'm doing research on, well, everything, and came across Britcoin which looked very interesting. That it, until I discovered Sterlingcoin and that its community seems more active.

I'm now curious to know why there are two British coins. In fact, I'm curious to know why there's a British coin at all, so perhaps someone can point me in the direction of discussion about the purpose of these coins, what the differences are, etc. Is there competition between them? A reason why the devs aren't collaborating?

I've read the spec, but it doesn't make clear whether Sterlingcoin is actually trying to solve a problem, or be better in some way than existing global offerings. Is this simply a play on national patriotism? I can imagine that's actually a fair bet, but ultimately futile unless there's something special on the roadmap that'll make it relevant geographically.

Having just got in to crypto, I was interested to discover this patriotic little coin. However, my excitement waned when I discovered the apparently more active SterlingCoin, and subsequently no discussion of the differences, or potential cooperation between devs despite the projects appearing all but identical.

So what's going on? SterlingCoin's community, or at least it's developers, are considerably more active. If free time is a factor, couldn't efforts be combined to boost a common goal?

At face value it appears both these coins are fairly insubstantial plays on UK patriotism, which doesn't seem particularly in the spirit of crypto. Have I missed something? Is there a proper discussion somewhere about what Britcoin is trying to achieve, and why it's worth investing it, aside from simple national patriotism?
