New Bitcoin, the Next Bitcoin, the greener Bitcoin, The bitcoin twin... blah blah blah
Honestly, what's the point of all these copy-cat coins? Isn't Bitcoin a few of its old forks enough?
Do these developers think by being a bitcoin copycat or using the Bitcoin name, the coin will actually grow and surpass Bitcoin? Or the move is meant to fool Newbies into holding bags of a coin that may never live past 3 years?
If Satoshi Nakamoto thought the same way about money there wouldn't be a bitcoin at all.
If you haven't read "shelling out" by Nick Szabo, I highly recommend it. TLDR: humans have been inventing and reinventing money for hundreds and thousands of years. Cryptocurrencies are just the next iteration.
I absolutely do want superior money. Bitcoin was an important next step but by no means the last.
