 It's kinda sad to see Litecoin at 17 and Monero at 26. They are probably the two most honest shitcoins out there. 
 meanwhile there are murmurs about Ripple doing an IPO 
 Disgusting.

Did you know that ripple (I guess the company) is older than BTC?  
 wait what? is this true? 
 Yeah look it up, I needed to check myself because it sounds so wack 
 brb, gonna incognito this, don’t want to have shitcoin ads following me 
 monero is good aktully 
 Ripple itself launched in 2012.. ripple labs was founded in 2012 also. What are you talking about? 
 numerous different sources giving me 2012 also, sure you meant ripple? 🤔 
 Nothing was before #bitcoin as far as cryptocurrency is concerned.  There were plenty of attempts at all types of things that failed.. so I’m unsure also 
 Wrong. Bitcoin was an iteration of earlier ideas and projects that actually existed but didn't make it. 
 hashcash, eCash, digicash etc 
 Yes,  #Bitcoin was 40 years in the making and pulled from many things.. to me, #Bitcoin is the only real money that ever existed. Therefore everything else should be categorized as fake that came before it.  Not real. 
 Proof of work is why #Bitcoin is #Bitcoin.  If it doesn’t have proof of work.  It doesn’t exist.  Nothing existed before #Bitcoin as far as I’m concerned. 
 Dogecoin used to be the most honest because the creator literally said not to buy it because it was a joke but they pumped it anyway and then the emerald mining heir turned car salesman got in on the act. 
 Yeah it lost its honest OG shitcoin vibes a long time ago. 
 I always check the prices of shitcoins against btc instead of fiat

They both look far worse there 
 Dollar at 69 
 Since bitcoin and litecoin are not fungible, its more likely the shitcoin is bitcoin if litecoin is a shitcoin. Which makes monero a barfcoin or just you know, fucking monero 
 ♥

3rd and 5th of the PoW coins though 
 Still too low 
 Litecoin is literally useless and irrelevant. There is only the Bitcoin/Monero duopoly and that's a fact, the dark net market adoption says everything. 
 Lite takes over when fees get too high on Bitcoin. I agree with you besides that niche use by the market.
