Why there is so many altcoins?

[Disastrus]

If an exchange lists every scam that comes along it is blatantly obvious it is a scam-exchange and should be avoided.

Exchanges list coins based on trading price and volume. As previous poster stated, Goldcoin is the one keep eye on. Once its listed on BTC-e the price is going to moon. I see the coins developer is being called the next Satoshi on reddit.

whats up with all the new accounts blah-ing about goldcoin ,please dude, no one cares, cared or ever will do...take your other golddudes..and piss off.

We hope to speed things up to reach Marinecoin's goal faster. by dominating the altcoin development this will happen much quicker.

That is why there needed to be a central alt authority through which all new coin alternatives needed to be approved first and quality assured.
No rules and free for all just ends being a scammy greed filled cesspit, sucking the blood from the majority of others and undermining some of the good
that could have been.

People can just avoid the coins which they think won't be accepted by trusted merchants. I believe the issue will work itself out once the more influential governments start passing legislation concerning digital currency.
