There are so many coins that have an established framework but the project and development team fell to the wayside.
I see these true crypto coins as a cheap resource for somebody to pickup and use for a project, such as, gaming.
They just require a core leadership team, developers & support to be repurposed into a different project.
Yeah you are right. What interests me about this on Hive is that it is easy to build on, and still allows for the freedom of individual tokenomics. Plus, there is the community aspect and functionality behind it.
