Ran for a couple of weeks until people smarter and better funded than me got in the game and completely wiped me out of any opportunity. Note that it is a matter of time before someone on chain notices what you are doing and optimizes it 1% to take away all your cake. If you find a profitable opportunity you will be playing an infinite game of cat and mouse (which is cool, go ahead!)

• Bitcoin (2009) – Digital gold. The OG decentralized currency.
  


• Ethereum (2015) – Introduced smart contracts, changed the game.
  


• Monero (2014) – Privacy-first.
  


• Litecoin (2011) – Faster, cheaper version of Bitcoin.
  

• Pump-and-dump ICOs.
  


• Forks with minor changes pretending to be revolutionary.
  


• Narrative-driven tokens – AI coins, dog coins, metaverse coins, etc.
  


• VC-backed projects with huge pre-mines.
  

• Bitcoin nailed store-of-value.
  


• Ethereum handles smart contracts.
  


• Monero took care of privacy.
  


• Most new chains are just forks or L2s.
  

• Launch with massive pre-mines or VC allocations.
  


• Dump on retail users.
  


• Have no long-term incentives aligned with the community.
  

• Arweave (2018) – Permanent decentralized storage.
  


• Celestia (2023) – Modular blockchain architecture.
  


• ZK-rollup projects (zkSync, StarkNet) – Real tech in scaling/privacy.
  

• They’re driven by hype, not utility.
  


• Little actual innovation left to do.
  


• Founders care more about exit liquidity than decentralization.
  


• Crypto shifted from freedom-tech to casino-finance.

Why No Good Crypto Coin Has Been Released After 2018

This is a hot take, but let’s be real — there’s a good reason why most of the “good” crypto projects came before 2018. Here’s the breakdown:

🧱 Pre-2018: The Golden Era of Real Innovation

Coins like:

• Bitcoin (2009) – Digital gold. The OG decentralized currency.
  


• Ethereum (2015) – Introduced smart contracts, changed the game.
  


• Monero (2014) – Privacy-first.
  


• Litecoin (2011) – Faster, cheaper version of Bitcoin.
  

These were created to solve real problems. They had strong ideological or technical motivations, not just financial ones.

🪙 Post-2018: Hype Over Substance

After the 2017 bull run, the space got flooded with:

• Pump-and-dump ICOs.
  


• Forks with minor changes pretending to be revolutionary.
  


• Narrative-driven tokens – AI coins, dog coins, metaverse coins, etc.
  


• VC-backed projects with huge pre-mines.
  

The focus shifted from building to cashing out.

🧪 No Groundbreaking Tech

Post-2018 projects rarely bring something new. Why?

• Bitcoin nailed store-of-value.
  


• Ethereum handles smart contracts.
  


• Monero took care of privacy.
  


• Most new chains are just forks or L2s.
  

Innovation slowed. Instead, we got “Ethereum killers” that just copied Ethereum with higher TPS.

💸 Broken Tokenomics

Many post-2018 coins:

• Launch with massive pre-mines or VC allocations.
  


• Dump on retail users.
  


• Have no long-term incentives aligned with the community.
  

Compare that to Satoshi, who mined fairly and disappeared.

🔍 Exceptions (But Rare)

A few post-2018 projects deserve a mention:

• Arweave (2018) – Permanent decentralized storage.
  


• Celestia (2023) – Modular blockchain architecture.
  


• ZK-rollup projects (zkSync, StarkNet) – Real tech in scaling/privacy.
  

But even these aren’t widely adopted by users chasing memes and pumps.

TL;DR

Most post-2018 coins suck because:

• They’re driven by hype, not utility.
  


• Little actual innovation left to do.
  


• Founders care more about exit liquidity than decentralization.
  


• Crypto shifted from freedom-tech to casino-finance.
