Anyone can create a Craigslist clone, but somehow they still make 100s of millions of dollars per year.

Yep, this is what people are not understanding. Too many engineers and not enough business owners on HN. The hardest part of starting a business is getting the network effects on your side, it isn't the tech.

Sure, but then why have a market for hundreds of coins? We dont have a public market for all the craigslist wannabes because they are not relevant at that level.

Not all exchanges list all coins. Also, we DO have a public market for craigslist wannabes...it's called the internet and you can launch one tomorrow.
