Number of altcoin launches per month drops back to Dec 2013 level

I've always tried to leave them their ANN section and i kick back and wait for them to pop their head out then WHAM !

they can try and start a new wave of cloning but they better learn to duck LOL

anyway why fight them over it all in the ANN section when you can wait of them to creep out of their little hole ?
they will of course start off by coming to the main section for spamming / advertising (Monero Shill Syndrome)
and then run into a wave of disgust LOL

also i had speculated to myself i wonder how feasible a real attack was possible..
as in was there a group cloning simply trying to undermine crypto ?
ii have no idea but i find that hypothesis highly unlikely even though at times it may have seemed like it.

The problem is and was that you could make more money popping these out than to be contracted to make for others. The art itself of making and chopping cryptos can be mastered in a few days by any amateur but now the core of decentralized trading has disappeared into a scam heap.

not infeasible ...  reducing the number

Uh, no...

The smart devs have switched to launching assets on platforms like NXT...
The profits there are an order of magnitude greater than pumping alts.

So you are saying that horses are in decline because of higher "community standards"...
But, in reality, people are rapidly switching to big, fast cars.

I'm saying “not infeasible” and “reducing the number”, that's as far as I go. I'm choosy about my semantics. The phenomenon is inarguably multi-factor and it is implausible that the effort had no effect whatsoever.

I don't know about a mass defection of scamdevs to 2gen, doesn't fit the pattern.

There has been a lot of assets though, but most have been very good
