What's the least-awful cryptocurrency? (self.Buttcoin)

Yes, I realise they're all terrible to some degree, but I'm wondering what out there has learned the most lessons.

Bitcoin sucks for all sorts of reasons. Its proof-of-work algorithm wastes stupendous quantities of electricity and destroys the earth's atmosphere. Its deflationary design ensures nobody will use it for spending, its community will be infested with libertarians, and it will unfairly enrich early adopters. Its protocol lacks support for chargebacks, is vulnerable to spamming, has difficulty scaling, etc. Its governance is laughable. Its user base is a den of thieves. It is not user-friendly. And so on.

So which of the many cryptos do you find least utterly intolerable? My personal favourite has been Doge, because the community is fun-loving, not serious (thank god), and it's inflationary (won't enrich early adopters so much, more reasonable monetary policy). Are there any others?

Much like The Game, the only way to win at cryptocurrencies is to not play at all.

Maybe Bitcoin is WarGames playing out in real life. Unlike in the movie, however, eventually the miners nuke eachother.

You should check out this new cryptocurrency called US Dollarcoin.

It doesn't have a proof-of-work algorithm that wastes electricity and destroys the atmosphere, instead it is issued and backed by the US government. Also, Dollarcoin has an inflationary design, which motivates people to actually spend their Dollarcoins and keep the economy afloat. Its community consists of everybody except libertarians, which is one of my favourite features. Dollarcoin supports chargebacks, can't be spammed, is infinitely scalable, and is extremely user friendly. On top of all that Dollarcoin has an enormous rate of adoption and is accepted absolutely everywhere. Best of all, Dollarcoin isn't even a cryptocurrency, but is actual real fucking money oh my god when will you fucking people ever learn

but yeah you should definitely check out monero...

I'm actually an active user of the digital currency "Pound Sterling". It has "online wallets" and everything.
