I have no faith in the Bitcoin brand. Proof of work is already outdated and corrupted. API coins are the future.
I agree that BCH is better than BTC, because most altcoins are an improvement of Bitcoin. Some are already improvements of improvements of improvements of Bitcoin. The tech is evolving very quickly.
This is where I stand to. I am very open minded. I think some of these protocols are definitely here to stay. However, this is tech and it's highly disrupted especially with how fast this space is changing. Proof of Stake consensus protocols may turn out to be so much more efficient and scalable it makes POW obsolete. Steem can crank out the daily transactions at 2 mill + and not even use but .05% of capacity. There's so many dynamics at play with these protocols b/t computer science and economics. Moreover, not many people are thinking about a Corp. like Facebook or Twitter coming into air drop Facebook Coin to its 2 billion users. Its def something that would not surprise me. If something like that did happen then hopefully it would be very positive for Crypto, since then there would be 2 billion Crypto wallet accounts. However, Facebook could just make it their coin only and only allow coins to transfer to Facebook wallet addresses. I am speculating but so like this can happen. They try and kill Crypto with a Facebook coin.
What is a API Coin(s)?
Application protocol interface (API) means that you can build apps on top of the blockchain foundation. EOS, Ethereum, Neo, cardano, steem, etc.
Oh OK, I get it. That's the first time I heard them called that. Smart contracts platforms - Yes I totally agree with you 100% these will be huge b/c of the use cases and they also make a better store of value. Currency is just the first app of these newer protocols. I also believe governance will be a big deal in the future. Many of the APIs have built in governance and funding layers built natively within the protocol.
