 A get rich quick scheme?


That's what all the altcoins are (and I don't particularly have anything against them, I just choose to ignore them for the most part).   It's just people wanting to make easy money though, make no mistake about it.

I wouldn't really say LTC is an "alt currency"

It's like saying $5 bill is alt currency to the $10 bill.

That's totally silly logic here.

Id consider 5 ltc is the 10 ltc equivalent of a 5 dollar bill, why on earth would you use a different currency to float the 2??

In Cryptocoins I Trust
There's been a strong push by the authors to get FTC accepted for goods/services. Very few alt coins can say that. But yeah, difficulty is about to double yet again. It's still not clear to me why any alt coin has value to be honest.

Difficulty is only going up because it is overvalued and extremely profitable to mine.

If value crashes, so will the network speed. The same could be said for any other ALT currency though really (except for maybe LTC).

It offers no advantage over Litecoin. I see a lot of the same rhetoric from FC adopters - it's the 3rd crypto coin. Can't I say this about BBQcoin, PPcoin, NVC, or any other Coin that's actually traded?

1. Everyone wants to be an early adopter Feathercoin Billionaire.
2. FC price is overvalued right now so mining it is like 300% more profitable than Bitcoin mining, so all the miners are here trying to spark interest and demand amongst buyers.
3. Another scrypt coin I guess
4. Most FC supporters are new to the forums, and I think they see this as their get rich quick scheme.

Feathercoin isn't a bad name. And it uses scrypt. It's early and you can still hop aboard.  That's about it.

I think it's because there is a strong desire for 2 different currencies that use Scrypt as the hashing algorithm.

This fused with the strong desire to be an early adopter.

I've read a lot of different posts about the popularity of Feathercoin and I'm wondering where it has come from.

What is causes value for these coins to go up so rapidly?  For Litecoin it offers another alternative to Bitcoin because is hashing algorithm is different, to name just one benefit.

Does anybody feel this block chain is a bad idea? A get rich quick scheme? It seems like the market is just fascinated by *coins at the moment so a lot of miners are dumping their CPU's and GPU's into Feathercoin in an attempt to cash in on it's initial introduction to various exchanges.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on why you support or do not support FC, and if you own any or plan on owning any in the near future.
