The implication that most of the alt coins are like this is unfortunate. Sure, a very many of the alt coins are just bitcoin clones with a different genesis block trying to get rich but many of the alt coins have had great minds behind them, that's not novel in and of itself.
- tlrobinson 10y agoOut of curiosity, which alt coins would you put in the latter category ("have had great minds behind them")?

Same reason Gary Johnson didn't answer the "Name a foreign leader you respect"... once you name someone you open up to answering for all their mistakes.
