On the positive side...there is virtually no Alt Coins threatening LTC status as the number 2 coin after Bitcoin.

NXT will leave LTC in dust, maybe even BTC. Just wait and enjoy the show.

It would have to find it's way onto some legitimate exchanges first. It's not on Cryptsy, BTC-e or anywhere else that anyone's actually heard of. In fact, it looks like the only exchanges it's listed on are ones that were set up specifically for NXT, which I can't help but find deeply suspicious.

For now I'll stick with the Alts with an established reputation.

I am on the fence with NXT... I just have an unpleasant feeling about it reading the various threads... but will reserve judgment.

I do foresee a prosperous future for LTC...just way too many positives going for it in 2014.

In the early days of the auto industry, there were dozens of auto manufacturers in the US alone. Now there are three (two? one?) dominant ones.

Same will happen with digital currencies. There will be a few prominent ones and a couple of "botique" ones. Certainly not 70+.

Look who put the coin generator out.. BTC devs Wink

This is a very offensive move to discredit any and all alternatives.

Actually it's a very important milestone, now anyone can start a currency.

Which leads the way to someone going "Look at all this crap, if I came in here and developed a real altcoin, I'd make a killing".

There are a very small handful of altcoins to watch out for. Anything that doesn't have additional features now that isn't already established is worthless. There's just too much white noise.

Find long term positions with currency systems that have genuine value. As the flood continues, genuine value will stand out more. Adjusting a few parameters will no longer be enough.

If you have invested in Litecoin, you are certainly secure from the scam coin competition below.

What advantage has litecoin over bitcoin now that the first scrypt asics are out? Nothing important.
Litecoin has to struggle to keep 2nd, not 2014, but maybe 2015-2016.

The scrypt asics are not scheduled to be shipped until the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2014. If they are anything like BFL we wont see a scrypt asic for atleast a year. If anyone here has learned anything from BFL, do not preorder the device by paying Bitcoins as you would make more just sitting on the bitcoins and waiting on the price to go up.

I'm interested in seeing how the scrypt asics will play out on some of the scrypt altcoins.

I'm not too worried about how many altcoins come out.

It's like the publishing industry. Just because the Internet allows a million crappy novelists to 'publish' their crappy novels online doesn't mean that Stephen King can't make any money writing new novels.

Anyone can make a new cryptocoin, and lots of people are doing just that. Most will become nothing. The only thing that's really in danger is that this forum in particular will become unreadable because of all the new coin announcements.

this Alternate cryptocurrencies is garbage , there was once a time where actual useful information was here about mining litecoin etc.. now its just "buy my coin , I have alot so it's better then litecoin /bitcoin"

Don't get your panties in a twist. It's all part of the messy self-organization of the crazy decentralized cryptocurrency world. It's part of the evolution. Cryptos are like squirrel shit, 100% nuts.

Only the ones who don't think outside of the box.

Which is really good.
This means you will have to have some sort of innovation with your coin or it wont even get noticed.

This is how we evolve the crypto scene.

Agree with OP. The amount of coins coming out in early 2014 is already close to that of the 2013 bonanza...

Becomes a bit of a joke when everyone and their doge is creating a coin.. but bitcoin and litecoin are mainly needed to get hold of most alts which will only increase the liquidity in the main cryptos
