Haha, I'll give you 100 CocoCoins if you can define what makes a cryptocurrency "fake" rather than real.
This headline should probably say "FBI create a cryptocurrency to expose..."
That said there are only a few cryptocurrencies I would call worthy of note or respect.
The difference between a theist and an atheist is believing in one fewer God.
Polytheists are theists too
Holy Trinity is basically tritheism.
It's complicated. They are three but they are one according to their dogma.
For me it's a bullshit threshold: if you swallow this paradox, you'll be ready to accept more.
The difference between atheist and theist is the belief in N fewer gods, where N is the number of gods the theist believes in.

~~You make the point that this cannot happen but surely some really have the intention to make an e-currency that has long term, legal use?~~
I make the point that what cannot happen?
I'm sorry, I just didn't quite understand what you mean.
Seems I missed reading the last line where you said you would respect some cryptocurrencies. I misunderstood.
All good.
And yeah for the record, I do think Bitcoin is pretty brilliant and that Etherium has some real unique utility. I think there are definitely some others that are genuine attempts to do something useful, but few that have really achieved much so far.
