Let's not forget that the Bitcoin developer abandoned the project ENTIRELY and disappeared 2 year ago!

The fact that you use cars to make an analogy with decentralized digital crypto currencies indicates that you have no understanding of what's going on whatsoever.

Consumers WILL look at these coins as brands just as they do Visa, Mastercard, and Discover.

Go fill a patent before another brand or a patent troll steals your invention.

We welcome others to use it. It's something called "open source". Huh

That's like saying BMW didn't bring anything substantial to the auto industry. Heck, we already had Fords.

Your broad sweeping statement basically insults thousands of community members and software developers working to better their own individual cryptocurrencies.

Thinking of bitcoin and altcoins as different brands of a product is what is insulting, if it wasn't so ridiculous per se.

In the case of Goldcoin we've invented a 51% attack defense something not yet present in Bitcoin.

Most altcoins are just clones worth 0.

But there are some which are different and some work has been put in. Maybe these might be used in future, who knows

Bitcoin is new, makes sense to hodl.

afternoon coin whores,

most alts are likely to worth 0, but I can tell you what are in my stash, they have the most chance to survive, reasons are:

LTC - the classic alt, has acceptances
PPC - the original POS
XPM - the original prime mining
Ripple - I got a chunk on the first giveaway, so I sit on it too lazy to covert to btc
MasterCoin - aka the greed coin
PTS - I don't have it but it might be something

well 2012-2013 were all about new schemes of money distribution coins, I think 2014 will be the coins for distributed exchange/smart property and what not

honestly, when BTC hit 10k$ by the end of 2015, I could no care less of alts live or die.

What's up with some of these altcoins with almost unlimited supply? It seems that the attraction to bitcoin is that there's a definite number of coins and they can act as a store of value over time.

It depends on how its done. Some of them kinda make no sense, others look to have unlimited coins at first but really don't like Peercoin.

Alt coins so far add absolutely nothing substantial to the idea of a crypto-currency.

That's like saying BMW didn't bring anything substantial to the auto industry. Heck, we already had Fords.

Your broad sweeping statement basically insults thousands of community members and software developers working to better their own individual cryptocurrencies. In the case of Goldcoin we've invented a 51% attack defense something not yet present in Bitcoin.

And there are countless other innovations being introduced by other coins.

Alt coins so far add absolutely nothing substancial to the idea of a crypto-currency. They range from complete rip-offs to changes like in pow or in the hashing algorithm. On top of that most of them were created as pump and dump schemes.

This is not true for all alt coins. Some of them offer genuinely different features.

Long time trader here,

Right now BTC is at a low and is going to start growing again. These hearings have been positive, and this means Altcoins will usually fall against BTC (but still rise in USD).

Even so their are some historically strong coins with active communities and specifications. If I were to invest into Altcoin I would diversify approximately this way:

25%MEC 20%DGC 15%ANC 25%LTC 7.5%PPC 7.5%XPM

Guaranteed to make profit, Likely even in BTC.

Good Luck

What is MEC? Mega coin?

Yes, it is megacoin.

Take a look here.

Bitcoin has been the best chance always. LTC, PPC and XPM have good potential.

PPC is the most interesting one. I believe at some point, the Proof of Work coins will realize the hardware race is unsustainable, and turn to PPC's Proof of Stake system.

1+ PPC would have its place in the future.

Glad to see it getting some more attention these days. 2014 should be a bright year for PPC.

LTC, DGC, and SRC

development on DGC and SRC is active, fiat exchange should be out in december. coins need services to survive, that's what's happening for DGC and SRC. Baritus plans to integrate the marketplace along with the exchange, as well as setting up a virtual bank to set loans in DGC. Time will tell

do your research!
