Bitcoin is my main currency and will remain my main currency. I have started to use Bitcoin for everyday things except grocery stuff. You can even pay bills with Bitcoin, that is amazing!
I'm not interested in any other alts.

I would invest 45% into LTC, 45% into PPC and the Rest into Copper Lark. LTC & PPC have both good concepts and if they will be accepted by more dealers or Mt.Gox then their value will rise a lot. Cooper Lark would be my high risk investment. Those russians habe a good concept with a sha3 coin and putting much effort into it (exchange, gpu miner coming soon). As much as I like BTC, I don't see it as an investment which could make me a lot of money. The chart is most of the time between $100 and $110, as there are too much people that buy at low prices and sell when it's a little bit higher. I don't think that will change in long term.

altcoins = butthurt noobs late to the party

Lol, you're right. All of us noobs are trying to recreate the wealth made by those that got into Bitcoin early. I'm mining Bitcoins, but using one GPU to test the waters of other coins. Mining Freicoins right now, but not sure that's the best option.

Isn't that the one where a good chunk of your coins are delivered straight to "the foundation"?

I have no idea. Probably should have done some research first.

for noobs i would say if they want to mine. begin with scrypt based alt coins to start getting a fast amount of coin flowing in, and to use this experience and time to learn the ropes. converting the coins to either bitcoin or litecoin as the 2 main long term coins which has proper infrastructure backing it up.

get to know bitcoin and then decide if you want to become a bitcoin miner (costing you an ASIC) or an entrepreneur (starting a business)

i myself never really mined. i went for the entrepreneur route, trading, investing and running a business. and i got a nice little nest egg of coins which exceeds earnings compared to miners.

find your niche, what excites you and makes you profit. and go for it. i say this because if you dont find mining exciting you wont put as much effort into it to make a success of it. same as being a business owner.

i would invest to bitcoin , the present altcoins will not survive in the long run because they don't offer really useful new features.

I would invest in Litecoin, it is far more affordable than Bitcoin and will appreciate with Bitcoin due to its strong correlation.

altcoins = butthurt noobs late to the party

Actually I'm the one that started seriously promoting using litecoins as well as bitcoins for reasons I outlined here:

Solution to the Bitcoin Foundation

My forum account is almost as old as yours, but I heard of Bitcoin far earlier (on Hacker News in 2010).

OP you might also ask this in the Alt-coin subforum as altcoins are clearly not yet as mainstream as Bitcoin.

Yes, I know. I was just trying to get Bitcoin'ers opinions but I'll try that alt-coin subform.

I swallowed up a number of PPCoins just 'cos I had a few extra dollars left over and figured why not, but I invest most into Bitcoin, just because it's the only established one thus far; once I can buy the Humble Bundle with Litecoin, I might look into that, though I know the Pirate Bay is currently accepting donations in both BTC and LTC.  PPCoin has yet to really go anywhere, except sit on exchanges, but it's aged much longer than the sudden flood of altcoins coming out now, and isn't simply a scrypt-based Litecoin clone.
