It's bitcoin or nothing.  You will only lose money investing in shitcoins.

It seems you lost some money investing in some altcoin. How much did you lose exactly?

While it's true that most alts are crap, there are some really good altcoins out there, and they're more advanced than bitcoin in several important aspects, some of them even make bitcoin look like a dinosaur.

1. DRK - instant transactions and anonymous. Comparing BTCs 10 minute block confirmation time (which in real life makes your transactions take over an hour) is embarassing.
2. VIA - 24 sec blocks, heavily developed and focus on being a real an direct alternative to bitcoin, also makes BTC look like an old man on a wheelchair.
3. XQN - New coin, but really impressive stuff being developed into it, the features in the wallet are simply amazing.

Plus, btc is pretty much centralized by now, there's no fair spread of BTC as mining is under control of large companies and their gigantic ASIC farms, and you can't really focus the entire digital money market on just one coin that actually takes over an hour to fullly confirm a single transaction, that's pretty much useless in real life unless you're a large store like Dell and Overstock.
Real life digital money tx must be instant, there's no question about it, if anything's gonna overtake the credit card industry it's gonna be something that supports instant transactions.

I do hold some btc, and also think it might go back up to $1000, but I don't see it as a swiss army knife, it's not the ultimate solution but a starting platform.

I like DRK and VIA very much Grin
