Heh, I guess I forgot how weird things look from the outside.. but no one knew how to properly destroy coins, or that there was even a proper way. Despite there being all these altcoin &quot;Developers&quot;, 95% of them only actually knew how to copy-paste-search-replace to create a new altcoin.. The focus in altcoins was always the marketing side: pretty graphics, good branding, and a viral community that expands until it implodes on itself.<p>So yea, people used it because they didn&#x27;t know better.. And because of how backwards the altcoin community is, most of the time it&#x27;s the inexperienced people asking other inexperienced people for help.. so bad habits spread very quickly and pervasively
