In February, I wrote: Dead altcoins were more profitable than Bitcoin. Here's an update for Tuesday, March 27, exactly one year after the Altcoin Obituaries website was published. Although altcoins in general are having a bad time, this collection was still twice as profitable as Bitcoin (including the forks Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Private). Feathercoin replaced Steem as one of the four above-average coins.

By the way, my article from February is now shown on the first page when you Google or Bing altcoin obituaries. That's the power of Steemit! Or it could be because I posted multiple links on Reddit and Twitter, but I'm not sure whether they count for search engines. It's more complicated than 'nofollow links are ignored'.
