Lingo

Lingo sits in the same broad category as countless other cryptocurrencies: a token whose value comes from what people think it can do in a network. By our assessment, that makes it useful only when the project behind it has a clear reason to exist, because the coin itself is just the shell of that idea. Its real strength, when it has one, is fast movement between wallets without the machinery of ordinary finance. The trade-off is obvious in this kind of asset: if the surrounding ecosystem is thin, so is the case for holding it. In practice these coins live or die by exchange support, wallet support, and whether anyone actually uses them. Lingo is not the sort of thing that explains itself from the name alone, and that leaves it well below the familiar large-cap coins. It is a narrow, speculative piece of the crypto shelf.
