I introduce my younger brother to Bitcoin almost a decade ago. After a time, he went to work for Coinbase and has since become a major crypto bro. He still owns and appreciates bitcoin, but he sees the crypto space as the future. He even co-founded a recently released token project and is a giant whale of the shitcoin.

My brother and I convinced my dad (a rich boomer) to buy some Bitcoin a few years ago, and my brother also got him to buy some ETH. Now my dad is starting to buy some of these new tokens even as the value has steadily dropped since the launch. I don't feel like I need to tell him to dump that shit since it's not a meaningful amount of money for him. I also feel like time will be the ultimate teacher as Bitcoin continues to rise in value and the shitcoin goes to nothing.

I’ve seen shitcoins come and go since the days of the long forgotten StrongCoin…longevity can be a little hard to predict, but the closer they copy satoshi the longer they tend to stick around. Big premines, rapid release schedules, no PoW and huge blocks tend to kill coins quickly.

I used to mine feathercoin back in the day. WTF was I thinking?

Same. Never got a block though. Is feathercoin still a thing? I kinda doubt it.

It's probably dead either completely or in spirit.
