I was in high frequency automated stock trading for a decade starting in 2000 to 2010. Crypty now reminds of the young ECNs back then (Archipelago, INET (Now NASDAQ), Instanet, Redi and many more. They all had the same issues. The world was turning to onlne trading, automated computerized trading and the infrastructure could not keep up. Investment, funding , mergers all came into play to save the day. The alt-coin market, as well as bitcoin remind me today of the internet in 1995.
Coins will need a standard to go by. This will bring in confidence from the investment community. I look at sad cases like Diamond crypto currency (DMD). It forked hard and was left for dead a few weeks ago. Website died. People begged on the forums for a fix and someone jumped in and revived it. Stopped trading on cryptsy until the fix and everything. It's that kind of stuff that takes away confidence from investors. It places alt coins as if they are otcbb stocks where there is no regulation and no confidence. If we are to grow, there needs to be a standard that is required before a coin can be launched or listed, period. Just my opinion.
