Would be nice to get more meaningful descriptions than "_ clone."

Also seems a bit selective/biased: For example, Litecoin is "Faster Bitcoin" but Vertcoin is "Bitcoin clone" while the Litecoin codebase is maybe closer to Bitcoin core than any other coin on that list. (Is there any coin on that list that is not "Faster Bitcoin" or a "Bitcoin clone"?)

If anything, "fork" would be more accurate than "clone", but still not really a meaningful description.

Some suggestions:

- Bitcoin Cash: Bitcoin for P2P payments

- Ethereum Classic: Ethereum for immutability purists
