Like are you fucking kidding me? Not a chance in hell that XRP is more decentralized than BTC.
But hey, once something is used as a metric, it's no longer a useful measure.

Litecoin is a cheaper, faster, marginally less-secure version of BTC. Plenty of advantages there.

Ethereum makes it so simple to issue these tokens that they are the first example in the Ethereum tutorial! Nevertheless, the ease with which Ethereum-based tokens can be created does not mean they are inherently useless. Often these tokens are a sort of public IOU intended for redemption in a future new chain, or some other digital good.

TRON is a fascinating economic and ethical study. Can a photocopy pump be backfilled with real substance?
It's like paper mache art. Inflate a paper-thin balloon, then surround it with hardened substance.

Continuing to be impressed by Binance.
Silicon Valley talks about building a "moat". Binance's $BNB is just that; it's integrated in 100 little ways into their website, from fee rebates to voting to small altcoin balance exch; very sticky.

[N]ot all chains are equal. Have you seen the recent attacks on XVG, etc.? Not to mention BTG, Monacoin, Bytecoin, the list goes on.
The potential attack surface (you want it to be small) and cost of attacking the network (you want it to be high) are *hugely* important.

As the decade ends, the biggest unicorn of the 2010s wasn’t Uber, Airbnb, or Snap. It was Bitcoin.
