Topic: More Than Bitcoin (Read 1574 times)
Very interesting thread. This has made me to rethink about one of my ideas that i was willing to implement.
Love the graph's. They provide a great visual to just how dominate BitCoin is. BitCoin will always be the king of the cryptocurrency world!
What makes any crypto currency worth anything? I think it's the fact that people accept it as currency. Bitcoin definitely has a networking effect working in it's favor at this point. I'm also cautiously optimistic about Ripple XRP. They say the coin is just a way of validating the system, but is it really just that? The government could outlaw rogue currencies or launch attacks on exchanges that trade them such as Mt. Gox, but if the currency was disguised as something else, then it could possibly withstand legal assaults. Controlling the currency and money supply is a major source of power in the U.S. and every other country. I don't see governments giving up that power without a fight. Right now it's not a problem because it's too small. The implications of Bitcoin going mainstream are enough to give bankers, tax collectors and the government nightmares.
And now there is FTC and CNC
(feathercoin) and (CHNcoin, Chinacoin?)

Yeah IDK how well they will do in the future
They seem to be ridiculously overvalued right now, but I guess that's expected. Although when I first noticed FTC I expected it to be almost worthless, yet its worth around .50$ right now... this market is going to crash fast

Do you like PPC or NMC better? They seem to be about the same.
I like the.bit part of namecoinI expect Litecoin catch up closer to BTC this year
I believe it will rise but not that muchThanks for posting this! As a newbie, I am struggling to take in all the information related to bitcoins. Posts like this are really helpful.

Hi
Will be interesting to watch these market cap figures over time and come back here to see where they were...interesting times!
I have to say, the steady rise of Litecoin has definitely peaked my interest.

Interesting.
Bytecoin ftw
wow what a fascinating thread and I will bookmark it.
Wow, so many coins. What if I created my own coins. How much I need to invest? If you can create a new coin just let me know.
It is not the way it seems. Bitcoin is much bigger than any of the others. Litecoin comes in a distant second, and the rest barely register. Here is a list of the market capitalization of some of the currencies.
| Currency | Market Cap (BTC) |
| Bitcoin | 11079775 |
| Litecoin | 474137 |
| PPCoin | 43086 |
| Namecoin | 39232 |
| Devcoin | 10662 |
| Terracoin | 10101 |
| NovaCoin | 8915 |
| Ixcoin | 3258 |
Yes but you have to think of what bitcoin was like 3 years ago
Awesome
