PYRATE

PYRATE goes straight for the pirate styling that a lot of crypto names borrow when they want instant attitude. By our assessment, that gives it a memorable face, but the face is easier to keep than the usefulness behind it. Like most cryptocurrencies, it is built for sending value on a ledger without a bank in the middle, and that is still the real point. The downside is the same one users run into with many small tokens: the story can be louder than the function, and the market can treat that story as the whole product. In use, this kind of asset usually lives in wallets, charts, and community chatter more than in daily spending. PYRATE sits among the many tokens that trade on style first, which is a weak base once the novelty wears off.
