As for the clones of Blackcoin, here is what I posted yesterday before the price of all the clones crashed downwards:
"You'll notice a pattern in this community, a new coin comes along that gets success and then a flood of clones try to cash in on it.
- We saw this with DOGE coin and coins trying to be memes
- We saw this with the IPO wave of coins
- Then we had a wave of "country" coins
- Now the new flavour of the month is 100% POS coins
I honestly think a lot of people are going to get burned if they don't do their research. Either, pick the market leader (for 100% pos it's blackcoin, for meme coins its doge etc) or wait until the next new thing comes along and invest in that. Problem is the next new thing is risky, so you have to be willing to slap your bitcoins down on a coin that is very different and could easily fail.
Best case scenario is they make *some* profit but nowhere near the same as Blackcoin. Worse case scenario is all these coins get drowned out in the sea of new POS stakes and crash and burn after the initial hype. Since we've seen the worst case scenario play out three times already on the past few "coins of the month", I see the same happening again."
