I collect a little Unobtanium every so often and load it onto my .999 Pure Silver Unobtanium Bar that I bought from bigtimespaghetti. (I think I have about 21 UNO, not a lot.) I'm HODLing it, but not for investment / profit. Just for fun. (Maybe I like blue cat-people.)

Topic: Altcoins - which do you like? (Read 2213 times)
Sorry to hear about your 10btc. There is still time to get some before price goes higher.
My favs are: litecoin, dogecoin, ethereum, and dash. I like the community behind dogecoin.

Dogecoin does have a great community but it seems to be losing a little steam. GoldCoin is probably the most undervalued altcoin on the market at this time. Growing community, open workforce, and increasingly scarce. Plus our developer is a Cisco Systems engineer.

I use Litecoin, Dogecoin, Monero, Ethereum, Factom and Siacoin. And my fav. altcoin is Dogecoin.
I like VERGE (DOGED) & Bata, both good pow.
In my personal opinion, the future belongs to a combination of POW + some other proof-of algorithm. I could be POS, but also POI (NEM).
What is better coins with pow only pow or pow+pos coins?
From the economic standpoint ?
Also what is best count of total coins 21m like btc or?

There are many altcoins and some people just support one of them randomly because they happen to invest in that particular coin but I believe for a coin to be worth something it's important that the coin is useful in something, of course a supportive community and active devs is an important aspect but if the coin is plain useless if it doesn't bring anything new to the table, why would people use it? You have bitcoin and a few other stable altcoins, why would anyone pick your new altcoin if it has the same features and it's not being used more.
More and more l beginning to believe cloakcoin will give us surprise,
Maybee big pump when they finish work on ps3 wallet..
Blackcoin is something very good to have now and to sell at 20k in few monts..
Drz after swap maybe become 10x expensive, master nodes, darksend ?
Silkcoin?
Dogecoindark?

I have participated in the IOTA crowdsale. I think this coin can really be a huge success. Trading will start in February. Reasons why I think it’s getting successful:
-well known dev-team with Come-from-Beyond
-First Altcoin without a Blockchain
-Token for the Internet of Things
-No fees, good for micropayments

LTC. Others are scams
For me all altcoins are sort of doomed and completely exposed to price manipulation, so I really have a grim view of the scene. Plus 99% of them are just plain scamcoins.
With that being I currently hold Digibyte, for me it's the only one that I can trust into being a serious long term project with a great community (it was its 2 year anniversary just some days ago).
What is different about Digibyte? I have some but I didn't know it was that different. Thanks With that being I currently hold Digibyte, for me it's the only one that I can trust into being a serious long term project with a great community (it was its 2 year anniversary just some days ago).

Bitcoin investing is also gambling right now!
Early adopters and miners now have a biggest cake.
Now we newcomers have chance getting those coins like xmr sdc dash ..

My favourites are those coins what I can buy low and then sell high a few days/hours later .
More seriously: NXT, XRP, XMR... and of course DOGE, but that's only a hobby.

I'll go first.
My current portfolio:
Why I chose each coin:
BTC (Bitcoin) - Network Effect; Most Secure PoW Currency; Many Wallets and Services
bitBTC (Bitshares) - Derivative of Bitcoin
BTS (Bitshares) - Decentralized Exchange; Derivative Trading; User Issued Assets; Fast Confirmation Times; Dynamic Account Permissions (improved multi signature addresses); Decentralized Referral Program; Stakeholder Approved Project Funding; Readable Account Names; Voting
LTC (Litecoin) - Network Effect; More Wallets and Services Than Most Cryptocurrencies
BKS (BlockShares) - Decentralized Exchange; Bitcoin Dividends
NSR (Nushares) - Market Pegged FIAT Cryptocurrencies; Pays PPC Dividends
bitGOLD (Bitshares) - Derivative of Gold; Traditional "Safe Haven"; FIAT/Cryptocurrency/Inflation Hedge
SJCX (Storj) - Decentralized Data Storage
OBITS (Open Ledger) - Bitshares On/Off Ramp; Order book and reserves on the blockchain for easy auditing; Sharebot; Debit Card
bitSILVER (Bitshares) - Derivative of Silver; Modern "Safe Haven"; FIAT/Cryptocurrency/Inflation Hedge
NXT (Nxt) - Asset Exchange; Marketplace; Monetary System; Private Messaging; Alias System; Instant DEX; Multigateway
XMR (Monero) - Ring Signatures; Anonymity; A nice army of shills on BCT, which makes for good exposure
MAID (Maidsafe) - Decentralized Data Storage; Secure Log In
UNITY (SuperNet) - Multi-Cryptocurrency Wallet; Instant DEX; Multigateway; Telepods; Decentralized Market Decentralized Dice/Poker
SIA (Siacoin) - Decentralized Storage
XCR (Crypti) - Decentralized Javascript Programs
Why I own more Bitcoin than anything else:
I see it as being less risky than alternative currencies. It has a strong network effect (which dwarfs all alternative cryptocurrencies combined), the strongest (it's not even close) liquidity and volume, and a solid list of services, wallets, etc...
Why I own more coins from "long established" cryptocurrencies (or will eventually own.. my portfolio isn't exactly the way I'd like it right now):
I think that network effects are very powerful, and as a community grows so does a coin's utility, volume, liquidity, word of mouth, etc..
Why is each coin (except for Bitcoin) less thank 6% of my portfolio?
I see alternative cryptocurrencies as being quite risky, and I can't quite put my finger on exactly which ones will be the most valuable in the future. I prefer to pick general industry leaders that have a chance of becoming big time, and investing a small percentage in each one.
I personally would only invest in very few cryptocurrencies purely for the reason of them having a network effect. Those currencies would probably be BTC, LTC, PPC, and DOGE. Network effect drops off dramatically as you go to each lower tier. Bitcoin has much more network effect than the closest 3 coins combined. It is Bitcoin that is in the news all day and every day.
Most of the alternative cryptocurrencies I have chosen have (or are in the process) of innovating in some way. I try to stay away from copy and paste coins, and when I do buy copy and paste coins.. I only buy them in the "top tier" of network effects (see above).
I also think a fair release is pretty important, along with a solid set of active developers that back the project. Without a fair release the crypto enthusiasts can't get behind it- there is maybe only a couple exceptions I can think of. I posit crypto enthusiasts played a large role in Bitcoin's success. Also, without solid, dedicated, and active developers a cryptocurrency is doomed before it is launched.
I see long term value in Ethereum, but I did not invest in the IPO and expect the price to come back down to earth eventually. You will notice I invested in a similar project Crypti, which is much more undervalued at the moment. I generally stay away from IPO coins and new releases for around a year to see how the price is moving, the coin is developing, and how the community develops. Most coins in my portfolio I only purchased after long downtrends.
I currently have my portfolio weighted more heavily towards innovations having to do with decentralized exchanges than any other feature. I am not sure if this will change. I also see a lot of value in decentralized programming languages and data storage.
Edit: I recently sold my XRP because I realized there isn't a downloadable client any more and you have to register your identity. I might replace that part of my portfolio with Stellar, but at the moment I simply left it in Bitcoin.
