Before you make an investment decision, it would be best to dig a little bit deeper into the interesting fact, feature, and shenanigans of some coins.
1. Ethereum has 72 million pre-mined coins.The total supply of ETH started out at 72 million as 5.9 million (the stipulated 9.9 percent of the 60 million raised) was created for 83 early contributors and an equal amount was issued for the foundation. Vitalik got the biggest share of the contributors’ endowment at about 553,000 ether.

Source.3. Shiba Inu dev sent 50% of token supply to Vitalik ButerinThe Ethereum co-founder was sent 50% of the total SHIB token supply by the token’s creators, raising a stir within the crypto community.…Vitalik Buterin has burned 90% of Shiba Inu tokens in his possession, according to transaction data from Ethereum. The total sum amounts to approximately $6 billion. Buterin will donate the remaining 10% to another charity
Source.4. Not all NFT images are stored on-chain or even using IPFS.Tips: look for snow (frozen) icon on opensea.
5. SOL network isn't always working (sometimes slow or even down), but at least they are honest about it.The Solana Network is currently experiencing degraded performance due to an increase in high compute transactions, which is reducing network capacity to several thousand transactions per second. This is leading to some failed transactions for users.
Source.Solana Mainnet Beta encountered a large increase in transaction load which peaked at 400,000 TPS. These transactions flooded the transaction processing queue, and lack of prioritization of network-critical messaging caused the network to start forking.
Source.6. TRON whitepaper has been accused of plagiarismIf we take a closer look at the examples presented, it certainly looks like there’s some foul play involved here. Even if the text is not rewritten word for word (and in some places, it is), it is too often carelessly copied in some form or other from FileCoin and IPFS’s own whitepapers. Moreover, the whitepaper copies key ideas without citations, including IPFS’s BitSwap concept.
To make things worse, the TRON team didn’t just nab ideas or verbal explanations of tech; they also stole code from their competitor’s papers.
