$ZEC and $DGB are pumping hard, signaling a renewed interest in old-school PoW assets and confirming that liquidity is rotating back toward blockchains secured by real energy. I think $LTC, $BELLS, and $PEP, as classic Scrypt coins, could be next to catch the wave. Scrypt mining stands apart for its accessibility—efficient ASICs, lower barriers for solo miners, robust decentralization, and memory-intensive architecture that keeps the network resilient and less captured by industrial-scale farms. Deep merge-mining capability and fast block times mean Scrypt coins don’t just persist, they thrive as the backbone for genuine on-chain trust, untouched by synthetic narratives. Hashpower becomes not only security, but transparent historical consensus.
