If you remove the significantly premined and non-mineable coins from today's list, it actually looks pretty similar to the same list from a year ago and the list from March 2014 (minus Auroracoin of course). For instance, the current top seven coins using this criteria are Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Peercoin, Darkcoin, Namecoin, and Ybcoin. Of these, only Darkcoin was released in 2014 and all the other coins are much older.

Mastercoin was $52 on that chart and is now $2.65  Shocked   
Auroracoin has gone from $22.22 to $0.02 - 2 cents (I'm not even working that loss in % out).

Luckily I bought only 0.03 worth of AC

No one reads my posts? I worked it out as a 99.8% loss in value, clearly making it the WORST investment of the year. I never bought any but a friend was trying to get in on the pump and I told him it was a bad idea and he lost like 10 BTC.

I considered buying but decided not to because it was about $2.50 a coin and I thought it could not get pumped up much from there. In retrospect I missed out on the chance to make some money but also missed out on the chance of losing a considerable amount of money.

That was the lure of it, so many people were buying it just because it was going up so it was very inviting except when you are seeing it in action you can't determine if you just bought the top. I'm sure a bunch of people also made money off of trading it but then a lot would get too excited seeing the price going up that they don't sell in time and end up getting burned. It's poor strategy to try and catch every pump over real market fundamentals, more often than not you will end up on the losing end.

time is going forward, be much positive and you will find new investment, maybe into wood or something else Cheesy

Lol, I wish wood was an investment as well. Maybe some rare form would be.
It might be that bitcoin would be a good investment right now, but even that is kind of questionable and hard to predict.

seriously? wood is the second largest resource business after oil  Tongue

i have lots of wood in my backyard.

Nice market caps; the "best investments" from that day to now were bitcoin and ripple Wink Wink

How the hell was bitcoin the worst performing asset of 2014 "the best investment"

Among the list, Bitcoin was the crypto currency that lost the less in Dollar value

Actually ProtoShares was a good investment on that list. They got 50% of BitSharesX which made up 80% of the new BitShares at no.4 valued at $40 million. (So $16 million value currently retained there.)

Protoshares also got
- 35% of BitShares MUSIC which just raised $750 000 for 20% in a pre-sale. http://www1.agsexplorer.com/
- 10% of BitShares PLAY not trading yet https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=11571.0
- 20% of BitShares DNS which had a $6 million CAP before it was merged into BitShares
http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=qeweF05tT50
- 30% of FOLLOW MY VOTE which has been merged into BitShares
- 10% of Rand Paul Coin still being created
- 33% of initial Sparkle https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?board=80.0
-  7% in the BitSharesX to BitShares merger worth about another $3 million
-  BitShares PTS honoured them 1:1 and is worth $530 000 atm at 41 on CMC

They've been merged into BitShares now at no.4 that will be Daniel Larimer's (Bytemaster) exclusive focus. The merger was a big headache that cost them a lot of value short term, my investment should actually be worth much more imo. They are gearing up for the 1.0 release that will combine a lot of features.

PTS has continued though and is at no 41 on CMC. It's now a no inflation, DPOS crypto-currency that more third parties might drop shares on in future, so you may want to look at that too.

I think it peaked at $80. I feel sorry for anyone who paid that and held.

Seems Ripple lost least and is not really a coin.
