Actually, I'd head for the proverbial storm cellar and wait out the wrath wreaked on all cryptocurrencies. As the trader boyz rediscovered in the '08-'09 crisis: "In a bear market, all correlations go to one." I.e.: in a ----storm, every vehicle gets hit with a lot of ----.

And then, I'd poke my head out and survey the wreckage. Any alt that survives that "Mother of All Stress Tests," I'd consider buying & using. To be honest, my first look-over candidates would be NXT and HZ. DOGE would likely pull through: their community is big & very resilient.

In math we trust.

I would definitely go for litecoin.
It is long established with a reasonably big market caqp.

16% of the words are misspelled in the first sentence, then it looks like things started improving for you. Something already bad has happened to bitcoin and many more bad things will probably happen also. Bad things happened early to Microsoft and Facebook, but they're still happily kicking.

I would say there's no reason to wait before exploring other currencies. Goldcoin (GLD) probably has the most 'Satoshi like' developer. So I would have to recommend GLD as my favorite alternative at the moment. There are lots of others flying under the radar too, you just have to do some digging to uncover the gems.

Then i would prefer to use litecoin or maybe dash.
Currently according to me they are safe to invest some money into.

it depends on your definition of something bad that can happen?
if you mean the rises and falls of price, then it is nothing bad at all. so i don't see any reason why i should change.
but if bitcoin were to be useless and without any value or in other words if it dies i would never consider any other cryptocurrency . i would cut my losses and leave crypto world behind me.

The perfect coin that probably we should be using instead of Bitcoin anyway is Vanila Coin. New code, sub second transfer, solved double spend so no need to wait for confirmations, soon to be anonomous. If there is a quicker, safer, better coin I would love to hear about it.

Frankly, if Bitcoin failed due to inability to reach consensus over something as trivial as max block size, then it would show that the entire concept of decentralised cryptocurrencies is a joke. Every crypto will face similar problems sooner or later, and it could also fail, unless it's centralised or have only one influential dev.

On subject, apart from BTC I use/own doge, monero, clams and ethereum so I'd probably stick to these.

This is exactly how I feel about the current debate. That's why I am pretty confident that we will over become the current problems and exit stronger out of this mess.

We might see price decreases as a result of the current block size debate, but this should also be just temporary!

Monero Core Team

Monero but for a different reason. The biggest threat to Bitcoin right now is the XT vs Core fight over the blocksize limit. This is a direct result of a fixed blocksize limit baked into the protocol that requires a hard fork to change. Monero does not have this problem since 1) It uses an adaptive blocksize limit and 2) It has a small perpetual emission that ensures the viability of the adaptive blocksize limit.

Monero without a doubt, for the privacy aspect, and automatic block size adjustment as features that are already better than bitcoin.

There is so much development going on in the Monero sphere that I don't think any other alt comes close.

It's the only other crypto that I own right now. I don't have to wait for the end of the world in bitcoin to invest/hedge in another crypto.

Surprised it took so long to see Monero mentioned. If something "bad" happens to bitcoin it will likely be due to government taking advantage of the transparent and non-fungible nature of bitcoin to attack or co-opt it. In this scenario, Monero is the obvious choice as it would be resilient against such attacks.

If bitcoin dooms, I won't be trusting any other crypto currency again. Bitcoin has been the best for me and I trust it till it remains. After it, I'll only invest in Forex and Stock Market. Other Altcoins aren't trustworthy to attain the success bitcoin has acheived.

My friend, then you will miss out a big time. Blockchain technology is the future, in this form or in the other. If Bitcoin fails, there will be a better successor. We have started the things and there is no coming back. The blockchain is taking over.

I hope it will be Bitcoin though!

I think that if Bitcoin doesn't succeed, any POW coin would be out of my mind to switch to. Why? Well it seems to me that POW coins get centralized much easier.

If Bitcoin was to go down, I would like if everyone turned to the POS. I mean, rafical change will be needed. Out of all the POS, my vote goes for NXT. Their hardworking community deserves the chance. Also they are the only one that keep delivering all the promised features. I do own some NXT, so I might be biased.

There's the issue of a tiny amount of people being in control of the supply of POS coins. Some have done a better job than others but a properly developed POW coin democratises it a bit. Having said that I don't think BTC qualifies for that either.

Yes, this is the biggest issue with the POS. But nothing is perfect. And with a wide usage, this problem would go away. You will never have a good enough distribution. Even if you make a coin and you distribute it to the 1 million people today, who is to say that in 10 years, the whole planet wouldn't cry how the distribution is bad since there is over 7 or 8 billion people in existence.

Every system will have the drawbacks, we need to find the most sustainable!
