🤦 to include Bitcoin Gold. It's $7 now. Assuming it's a fork of Bitcoin, it lost more than 99.99% of its value.

It was great for GPU miners, while it lasted. But it was a popular fork in 2017 and it experimented with something that some anti-ASIC bitcoiners would have wanted to see.

Is it possible for you to look at a crypto without checking the price chart?

In this space, the price is a great proxy for what's a good idea or not.

I didn't need to know that "great for gpu miners" was their flaw but now that you told me it's clear why it didn't take off.

Oh so Tron is better than Bitcoin because the price outperformed it over the last 5 years since they added USDT?

Good to know.

Losing 99.99% of its value is a very reliable heuristic to disregard a shitcoin as irrelevant.

I never claimed the opposite was also true.

Very interesting!

There's no mistakes in Bitcoin, only lessons to learn about.
