I'm going to be honest, I did not read everything you wrote, but I skimmed through and liked insights relating to seeds. Many coins remind me of seeds when they are first given out. Cheap and plentiful. Then if you learn enough about the coin, what sort of platforms it runs on, what the ecosystem around it is, there is a possibility that it can be influenced by a skilled caretaker to make it grow. Sometimes you just get a dud seed, and there isn't anything that can be done to make it germinate. Sometimes it just starts growing on its own without any help.
