You should buy Bitcoins Wink

Altcoins are in no way superior to BTC, have no infrastructure, literally nobody accepts them for payment.
Maybe LTC, but that's it.

That's a good point. There is a small chance that a few alt currencies will make it big - the trick is knowing which one will before it actually does Cheesy

You've got to be careful investing in alts - lots of pointless coins.

There are a few good ones though - try Anoncoin for a start, Peercoin, Worldcoin and Feathercoin to name a few respected ones.

Make sure to do your research!

What makes you interested in Mastercoin and Ripple? They're apparently both scamcoins.

I agree with you on MasterCoin.

But I beg to differ on Ripple. Current USD gateway cap is $2,630,696.87 -- $2.2 million of which is held as Bitstamp USD. That's "gateway capitalization" - literally dollar funds held in the form of bitstamp USD on Ripple. It is NOT "market cap" - where you take the price of coin and multiply it by the total float, to get some outrageous number for a 2-day-old alt-scam-coin claiming the total market is worth a hundred million dollars. Just to be clear - "gateway cap" is NOT "market cap".

To the OP, whichever tickles your fancy, I highly recommend you dollar-cost average your investment over several months (6-12 months). Do not jump in head first! Best of luck & have fun!

I only recently just got my head around the technology of Bitcoin, having spent a solid 2 weeks of researching and learning and I as a result, I have become a firm believer in the amazing potential it has to offer the world.

Feeling as though I may have missed the bitcoin boat as it were is a little peeving, especially as I've been hearing about it regularly from Max and Stacy for well over a year now........but anyway, it's always easier to make calls with the benefit of hindsight.

As a result of embracing the world of Bitcoin however I am aware that there are still going to to be a whole load of amazing opportunities to get behind, ideas that complement and evolve the technology. 2 technologies that I have been looking into seriously lately are Ripple and Mastercoin. Does anyone have any good or bad things to say about these? How could I invest in either of these 2 options? Any other recommendations that I should be looking at investing a little spare cash into? All feedback and replies appreciated.

Thanks & Happy Christmas
