Honestly government issued money is a bigger scam than the altcoins.  People die from it and it doesn't produce anything.  Altcoins should be seen as a proposal for something that makes money worthwhile to exist.  Most will fail.

        that's like 1498 scams? 
        I guess I'll be waiting for a while before somebody posts a reference to a 'cryptocurrency' that doesn't have a bloated chain.
        and by the way...
        "Evergrowing blockchains of UTXO transaction logs are unneeded bloat" 
        Crytocurrencies require a log of ALL TRANSACTIONS, not just the so called utxo set...   
I figured UTCO and "transaction" were being quickly summarized together here, up to the reader to only interpret in ways that make sense, as happens when people address something quickly.
