All I am saying is , I cannot see why the industry should use a fork of bitcoin (all altcoins are forks of bitcoin) which doesn't give clear and distinct advantage over the original. That said, there are many altcoins that are clearly better than bitcoin with regards to speed of transaction, costs of transferring money etc. Almost any coin is better in that regard. Im stealing your post now but check out [Diamond coins]( https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@drdmd/where-bitcoin-btc-has-shortcomings-diamond-coins-dmd-offer-solutions) for instance. It gives you clear advantages over bitcoin. Why use potcoins? or cannabis coins? If i was running a serious hemp planting business, i would use altcoins with more serious names, more established brands and a longer track record so that the currency would hold value. Food for thought.
