Even Litecoin is a scam

I would remind you many people to this day think Bitcoin is a scam.

At some point though that probably doesn't matter. I think Bitcoin has reached that point, and so has Litecoin.

Shut up and watch the Superbowl!!  Go Peyton!!

Crypto was CREATED to be about money.

Crypto IS about money.

Crypto will ALWAYS be about money.

All cryptocoins can be (and are) used for speculation, gambling, scamming etc. If there only was one cryptocoin it could be dismissed as a fad or whatever, but because there now are several somewhat successful cryptocoins the concept is much more difficult to dismiss.
(However the real reason for creating an altcoin is simply because it's possible.)

At least Bitcoin doesn't have dozens of security, reseller, and bitcoin miner hosting outfits all attached to some vaporware bitcoin miner hardware supplier backed by a myriad of pseudonyms, each vetting each other. Oh, wait! Let me try this: At least Bitcoin doesn't have...

Oh the horror of it all.

Actually, when it comes to data mining, some folks are seduced by the glamour of it all.

Altcoins have their use. It is a great way to test out new features. PPC is showing some promising new features that have set it apart in my mind. They also help support BTC, like how other precious metals support gold.

I'm pro altcoins. I think BTC is the only one that's reached the point to be taken seriously as a currency. As it gains more and more acceptance, I believe we'll see LTC follow suit. Once you have two commonly accepted cryptocurrencies, the entire industry will be secure and altcoins will start becoming increasingly attractive.

There are many Fiat currencies. Why harp on more than one crypto?

Please have a read from Post #483/Page 25 onwards of the link below.

My posts were trying to discover the purpose of alt coins.

When I saw the comment below I was quite shocked.

"Quoted by yatsey87 - Newbs and people who want to make a quick profit care. They don't give a shit about cryptocurrency or what it can achieve or represent, they just want to get rich quick. "

I have always believed that BTC was trying to make a better world.

If people involved in BTC have the same perception as our friend's comment above, there is not much future for BTC.



there is actually more of a profit now, cause of scarcity

I've posted many times why I believe some alt-coins have tremendous value for the cryptocurrency community, so I won't do it now. I will say the people only trying to make a quick profit were anticipated and are even necessary. By continuously flooding the market with coins of low value they make the ones with real value stand out and be viable. That's the reason Litecoin, for example, has a half billion market cap despite there being at least 30 other clones and 50 plus alts by now.

Besides a few alt coins that are really different from Bitcoin in the way they work, most alt coins are indeed used for getting rich quick. There is no other reason why there should be a few hundred alt coins. People are so gullible. Sad

That's a weird image {{weird image}}

Damn it doesn't always work

So if you're dumb and invest in alt coins, then sorry, someone's gotta take advantage of you
