Now, if you want to invest in something that is positive throughout and offers the possibility of obtaining some profits along the way, perhaps quite significant profits, there are already one or two vehicles out there, so you don't have to wait for a possible Laurel and Hardy coin -enticing as that may sound-. My personal favorite is Solarcoin.
It's a pity that they chose to have a censored thread -a no-no for me, so I don't participate-, but it is a serious project, with a noble purpose and, in my opinion, a great future. More and more people are beginning to see this and it is progressing slowly but nicely of late.
You are welcome for the suggestion... but by all means keep on waiting for a Laurel and Hardy coin. Not only it is assured to be more fun than any other already existing but, worst case scenario, better than 95% of all existing others (currently), Vericoin especially included.
Edit to add: After posting this I was made aware of the fact that the new (as of September) official thread of Solarcoin is indeed NOT moderated: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annslr-solarcoin-pow-to-pos-v-20-solar-proof-of-generation-1-1mwh-785257 which makes it not only my favorite coin project this side of BTC but the current ONLY active entry in my WALL OF HONOR: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10055393.
I agree, the Solarcoin project looks very good and I like it too. For me it's mainly promising and I am interested in it because it is related to a real world usage and business. On the note of a coin must be usable, must have a real world use case, still my favourite project is GadgetCoin at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-gdgc-gadgetcoin-iot-m2m-smart-contracts-on-hardware-854280. There will be 20 billion connected devices in 2020 and there is no wonder IBM works on the similar idea than GadgetCoin and TileCoin do. (Though I am not interested in TileCoin, they have collected ICO money, but the dev have no idea about hardware and still were unable to publish a hardware schematics.)
I think projects like Solarcoin and Gadgetcoin that are related to real world use cases could be the winners in 2015.
People are excited about Supernet, but wtf, Supernet will integrate a few absolutely useless coins into a network by providing interconnected features such as decentralized exchange - so you will have the privilege to buy and sell absolutely useless coins like Vericoin in a decentralized manner ... amazing use case really. In the meantime Solarcoin and GadgetCoin are related to real world use cases - actually those coins could be really useful and make difference in their respective domains.
