FUTURE OF ALTCOIN - Graveyard Market - what needs to be done?

[dogetime]

If a trader isn't willing to put the effort into researching their investment fully then why are they trading? It's not the exchanges job to hold investors hands and plus should a coin get added to one of these trusted exchanges and it turns out to be a scam causing people to lose money then what?

Moving towards a more centralized system of gatekeepers and needing to post application forms really does not seem like the right direction for me. There's enough of that red tape in fiat.

theres too many incredible devs out there launching coins every weeks that will never succeed just because the next weeks coins innovation makes the previous weeks old..

i always think that huge things could be done if all these devs would work together in a common solution for bitcoin instead of fighting each other in shitcoins...
we all know the unique coin that will last will be bitcoin and all these altcoin innovations are just the bullets in a war of survival to see which innovations should bitcoin use..they should not be called as altcoins but as testcoins...

Methods are very elementary, but a good direction to third-party ranking system for the coins

There is a write-up how to measure intrinsic value of a coin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=572090.0

Finally, a third-party ranking system based on electricity burning cost, development effort (code base), brand (??), popularity (??), innovation, adoption, liquidity can help.
