Even LTC, though some like to call it silver compared to gold of btc. It certainly is not going anywhere.

Thats a big statement to make .. cause this chikun is going to the mooooon lolz.

it is certainly not when you compare it to btc as the next big thing. while others like mastercoin, pts et al have the ability to reach btc price if they actually implement their ideas correctly.

Me thinks your underestimating the irrational exuberance of the markets .. besides some of the ideas in something like mastercoin may well be incorporated in btc in the future.

the focus is going to be on btc and with mbtc coming into picture, if the wallets re-assign the decimal accordingly 1BTC = $900 as the gold standard, 1mBTC = $0.9 the silver standard. Media is too focused on btc and Satoshi. So not even sure where the irrational exuberance for LTC will even be born out of. On top of it, people are calling it silver compared to btc's gold itself is going to stop it from achieving the next big thing's tag.

The underlining factor on incorporation is "may". Not every coin/DAC being born out of btc fork is supposed to be incorporated in btc in the future. Mastercoin maybe, but ethereum or protoshare or zerocoin or even levelcoins too? Nope, not all of them are going to be incorporated.

Again IMO, if looking for the next big thing, look for something which adds value. If you find a coin which just acts as a value store like most of the coins out now, then you already have BTC. No point in looking for others.

Guys, mastercoin is not a alt coin it's a protocol layer on top of bitcoin.

But yes, mastercoin can do alot of thing and it's a great protocol. and can be used to do many different things. Its future is bright.

Virtual coins value are reflective of what anyone is ready to pay for them. And to pay for something it needs to add value. If it doesn't then its a simply btc clone and the question needs to be asked - Is the coin good enough to usurp btc? If not, then its not going anywhere. This actually filters most of the current coins and future coins too. Even LTC, though some like to call it silver compared to gold of btc. It certainly is not going anywhere.

Out of the two suggestions Ethereum is a good contender. So, is mastercoin and PTS.

Though the next big thing will probably be, zerocoin with its anonymity raised to another level.

techguy.. I read about ethereum but not clear about the idea but 100% clear about levelcoins.. If you could mail me.. I'll PM you my email.. Please explain me about ethereum..!

Sent a PM to you.

For the benefits of others:

Ethereum is not a cloned alt coin, its a platform to create new decentralized services (Bitcoin 2.0). You can call it as an amalgamation of Mastercoin, Open Transactions, Namecoin etc.. It helps in creating DAC (Decentralized Autonomous Corporations) called Contracts which you can code using C like language using BlockChain technology. See this - http://voices.yahoo.com/bitcoin-20-explained-colored-coins-vs-mastercoin-vs-12475857.html?cat=15 to understand more about this.

Some of the possible contracts are:
1. Sub-currencies
2. Financial Derivatives
3. Identity and Reputation systems
4. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations
5. Crop Insurance
6. Smart MultiSig Escrow
7. Decentralized Marketplace
8. Decentralized dropbox
9. etc...etc..etc........................sky is the limit

I suggest you to re-read the Ethereum whitepaper atleast 2 to 3 times - http://ethereum.org/ethereum.html to understand more about this.
It was backed by great brains like Vitalik Buterin
