Instead making yet more corrupt premine reserve holdback stakeholding/investor dev/VC treasury funding, grand kitchen-sink feature list, PoS, block-storage-based, programmable, centralized, etc... shitcoins... do engineering the next anonymous barebones all-parties-disinterested privacy-capable raw money. Tech did not exist in 2008 for Bitcoin-BTC to even approximate a global money... hobbled by lack of privacy, disk-storage-growth, low-txrate, ASIC-friendly, with bolt-ons like the online censorable etc LN shadily making adopting the worse things easier. It is likely that the technologies needed to launch a real coin reasonably worthy of the nextgen name do now exist (or will within a few years), thus needing only to be tweaked, integrated together, and launched. Look for and build them.
