Think BIG PICTURE. These coins are really all about Freedom - the ability to earn and spend how you choose without the .gov's of the world pointing guns at you and telling you what you must do in order to stay out of jail or get a baton cracked upside your head.
Think about that. Freedom to do what you please with what you earn and what you own.
This is a world wide game changer. And it has only just begun...

Yes, Bitcoin was supposed to be that. Some altcoin may need to fill that role. There is talk of blacklists, the lead dev and major Bitcoin business owners are crawling in bed with government agencies. Bitcoin may have only been the necessary first step to ensure these mistakes are not repeated.

Bitcoin has turned into the bank you have to go to if you want to buy altcoins
I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain?
There's often no route from fiat --> altcoin, instead you have to go from fiat --> bitcoin --> altcoin
I get it. You can't directly buy altcoins but you can always trade for Bitcoin. So Bitcoin only matters in so much as it helps get the altcoins. Interesting.

Interesting, when the thread was in the newbies section the "other coin" option was the clear winner. In main discussion Bitcoin is winning which means newbies are no longer the only voters. I still believe newbies are not here for Bitcoin anymore.

Here for BTC, im at litecointalk for LTC

I moved this thread to Bitcoin discussion to continue the poll. I felt it would never be seen in the Archival section.
I would still like to get replies from new forum users about why they joined this forum.
Thank you

I'm here for Quark.
DOGE really got me interested in cryptos, but I didn't see it as a worthwhile investment with so many coins being made. Great community, but just didn't cut it imo.

Pretty much all other coins but Bitcoin.
When I got it, Litecoin was just launched a week or two prior. Even then, before ASIC came out for Bitcoin it was too far gone for me to mine effectively. So I did my mining in Litecoin and some other Alt coins that popped up along the way and that is where I wills stay.
Cheers

Here for Bitcoin.
Own a few Litecoin.
Not particularly interested in the others, save for general curiosity.

Here for bitcoin and others, but only mining alt coins right now
January 17, 2014, 09:03:20 AM
I'm here to find out about every cryptocoin that is worth checking out. Right now I read a lot about dogecoin. 
January 17, 2014, 08:38:49 AM
bitcoin only here. Not seeing much in any other coins
Are you planning on buying Bitcoins or are you going to attempt to mine them?

I'm actually surprised with the results (I'm not new to crypto).
My expectations was far less on "bitcoin-only", but people here are usually new to crypto and don't know much about altcoins yet.
It doesn't matter what you belive will happen on BTC vs altcoin in the long run, we live now. Current returns on altcoins vs BTC are insane and there is no other way that can double one bitcoin faster. (regardless of BTC/USD) The (unlikely) risk of a bitcoin-killer is here and the bitcoin protocoll would never able to adapt fast enough. It's 100% impossible that f.e we will ever see PoS in bitcoin since there are far to many people (miners) interrested in keeping it the way it is.
Ignoring altcoins is like igoring the most innovative part of crypto. People were able to see the potential of bitcoin, but now some of those are so in love with bitcoin that they can't see the potential in altcoins. Altcoins don't need bitcoiners to buy them, there are sill enough people left that haven't heard of crypto yet.

You can actually make money trading altcoins..at least if you have any sense not to mine all the new coins with...lousy names for example 
The only way I see to currently get returns on bitcoins is via altcoin tradeing. It doesn't matter what you belive will happen on BTC vs altcoin in the long run, we live now.

I'm just the opposite, I thought almost all answers would be "Bitcoin only" considering this is a Bitcoin forum. The mods and users here take a pretty dim view of altcoins. Altcoin threads in every other section but "Alternate cryptocurrencies" are reported and moved right away. The early adopter crowd (hero members) are horny to get as much for their coins as possible so they push Bitcoin like preachers push Jesus. I've seen people attacked for just mentioning an altcoin in a thread without making fun of it. I agree that altcoins can't just be ignored. Obviously, according to the poll, altcoins are a big reason people are coming here.

Here for alt coins, and eventually bitcoins
