From my point of view, FTC has stable base devs, good development, strong community, stable POW network with ASIC/FPGA resistant algo, ... that all is more than other 50-70% of cryptocurrencies, they do not have it and will never have. You have to realize that 3/4 of coins were created only for speculations on the exchanges, a lots of them with huge premines.
eg, I use FTC and LTC almost every week for real txs within my friends and others, not only for speculative buy/sells at exchanges. Really do not think that 3/4 of current coins will be alive years later, I only know that FTC will be one of the successful.
Stable devs ? lol
I exposed them for the scammers they are years ago thanks to their public and private mining software/ kernels.
