Looking to maybe exchange my investment in bitcoins to an alternate cryptocurrency; one thats liable to blow up like bitcoins did. Any opinions on the up and comers? I've heard good things about Doge and Quark, but I wouldn't know for sure as I'm fairly new to this. Thanks for any and all replies!

Honestly, your asking the wrong people for investment advise. This forum is 90% teenagers and 20-30 sum odd year olds acting like teenagers. The other 10% of the community are Dev's which only want you to invest in whatever new coin they created. Ultimately when you invest and/or sell off is up to you! Don't follow someone else's advise in regards to investing. Someone here could say sell, sell, sell and tomorrow bitcoin could blow up. Alternatively it could drop like a rock.

IMO no digital currency is a "safe" investment. However, that doesn't stop me from making profit here and there.

Look for something innovative

Does said coin have

Android & IOS wallets
Plentiful games to play
Some awesome new features
Built from the ground up not a clone
Are dev's active
Publicly posted plan for the coins future
Not premined although there are exceptions.

Sure you can make a quick buck from clone coins and a lot of people do. But, I'm guessing that's not what your after.

The above is what I would consider as close to "safe" as it gets in crypto land.

Nxt is out, Ethereum and eMunie coming in february. But please keep in mind, that bitcoin needed a few years to rise that much and so will these coins as well. Buy a few thousand with money you really don't need and hold them, maybe they pay your pension one day in the future.

Good luck!

NXT has something no one else has, in wallet trading. Its gonna be massive....

Stay away from NXT or any other new coin their source code are not proven, stick with the regulars it was invented by Satoshi Nakamoto a true mathematical genius who created the perfect piece of art, his attention to detail is incredible, NXT nowhere close.

ROFL at all these newbs that just got into crypto, throwing out the names of all these chains except for Litecoin, Namecoin, PPC, or XPM Cheesy

XPM reppin dat CPU mining, real useful science-doing, stable value-holding coin.  Cheesy

I can't believe people still think DOGE is going to be the next big thing.  It already had it's time in the sun, and it's freshness date is already passed a week ago.  DOGE has no protection from getting DOGE-ed by the next meme-backed coin.
The meme coins will all eventually dilute each other out to dust, arbing in and out of one another until all get driven back down to 1 satoshi each and forgotten.  Novelties that all popped once then faded into the internet's background noise.

Considering fact that Doge recently  landed on second place with Hashrate overthrowing LTC I would say that next few months may be very surprising for many.

Plus, if they ever want to go really mainstream, they can just soften the "G" in Doge like people do with Target pronounced as "Tarjay". Voila! Instantly more expensive and exclusive sounding  Grin

Over time I'd say worldcoin.. has an amazing community and is really starting to promote its self.

Would you rather buy world coins or the shares for the shramebrk?

We can only hope doge can sustain, but it just isn't likely.

Anyway Quark would be the one to look into.

I consider all alt coins as dead except DOGE. The only thing that can compete with bitcoin is community and I don't care what any DOGE hater says, the community is undeniable. Just look at REddit subscriptions and total online at any time. DOGE wins.

Someone should create an index of all coins that has several inputs. Some inputs would be:

1. community, the most important aspect of a coin. I think DOGE rivals beats bitcoin, everything else is geek BS!
2. miner support. Again DOGE is passing if not already passed Litecoin, it crushes everyone else but Bicoin and Litecoin.
3. trusted code base, DOGE clones litecoin
4. New money factor. this would be how many new coins are minted multiplied by current price. If the number is really high, this coin has momentum. DOGE kills all but Litecoin and Bitcoin.

Don't miss the DOGE train because it will be #2 by a mile at the end of 2014

Being a BitCoinTalk newb, I'd throw DTC into the list since it has some potential to be useful beyond being currency.

But...  a Scrypt or even a SHA256 version would be even better so that it wasnt relegated to botnet land.

NXT and Ethereum is the only new inventions (new code) who is much, much better than Bitcoin. The rest of the altcoins are just...meh

I can't see people talking about Nextcoin or Ethereum like they do Bitcoin simply because of the name.

Bitcoin sounds nice. Nextcoin sounds like a gimmick, Ethereum is cumbersome to say and type..

I have a feeling Dogecoin will go up 100 - 500% over the next few months.

Because facepalm.

Doge is going nowhere, stop dreaming of the impossible.



Doge is going to end up like gangam style or any other faggish fad that's happened in history

Doge is actually a really good coin...
Fad aside. 500% rise is far from impossible.

Are you homophobic?

For a coin to compete with Bitcoin it will have to have faster confirmations innovative features and support.

I don't see any coins replacing Bitcoin soon.
