Tron, Cardano, Verge and Ripple – Four Cryptocurrencies That Actually Meet the Definition of Vaporware
‘Vaporware’ is a term that’s tossed about loosely, often against cryptocurrency projects that have no clear use case. It’s an easy accusation to make given that many crypto projects are still at the development stage, and haven’t had a chance to prove themselves. This year’s vaporware could be next year’s ethereum – or at least so the investors hope. While a vast number of cryptocurrencies are derided as vaporware, the following four attract this jibe more than most.

Catching the Vapors
Vaporware has been defined as “software or hardware that has been advertised but is not yet available to buy, either because it is only a concept or because it is still being written or designed”. That definition applies to 90% of all ICOs right now, which are either still tallying up their ether or hunting down devs capable of bringing their six-page white paper to life. It will be months or even years before we discover which projects proved their worth, and which were wearing the emperor’s new clothes: ”blockchain” dressed up as innovation.

Well, high risk high return.
Of course then there are literally hundreds of other coins out there that are already "being used" - doesn't make them any better than these "vaporware" - their prices are high for a reason!

 Put Cardano on this list because the founder of a project(EOS) that competes directly say something bad is just unbelievable. In the steem where @dan talk about Cardano there is a great comment saying about their other projects. He is a great developer and has built amazing projects like BitShare, Steem and EOS but he clearly has some problems when dealing with people.
