- XMG - interesting and future proof POW/POS reward system.
- BTC - connection between all of the alts.
- DOGE - WOW, widespread.
- CLAM - interesting way of distribution.
- XMR - you ask for 5, right?

lol, how much does the goovment pay you?
Or come back when you sober!

It's healthy to be skeptical of government and not have absolute faith in government.

You cannot print Bitcoin, nor can you print Ripple. Sure you can trade in fiat IOUs through Ripple gateways, that's your free decision, but you still can't print XRP.

Ripple technology is inherently distributed. Ripple's leadership has centralised aspects, sure, but why is that inherently a bad thing?

Look at Russia, the EU and the Ukraine. Russia has centralised leadership and can easily outflank EU ministers who need to phone around to get a time that they can all meet (about a week or two later) and make a decision by committee (which more often than not is not the optimal decision). Meanwhile, Putin has his fighter jets in the air and laughs after his breakfast workout.

Do you have any examples of decentralized human decision networks from today or the past that were greatly successful and/or still survive?

Keep pumping your time, effort and money into Bitcoin so. Bitcoin is old technology, boring and no longer innovative. The Bitcoin community has become nasty, bitter and not very pleasant.

Ripple is compatible with the nation state model, yes. Nations control and regulate their currency (and defend their borders, keep law and order, a judiciary, provide infrastructure, public education, public healthcare, etc.) That means paying your taxes, obeying laws and adhering to regulations.

If you don't want that, feel free to conquer your own territory and have Bitcoin as your currency. Nothing stopping you from doing that. But be warned - there is no such thing as distributed governance. You are into crazy experimentation there. In Lord of the Flies, a few dozen boys end up on a desert island - it's not long before power structure emerge. Bitcoin does not rewire human nature no matter how much faith you put in it.

If you want to freeze someone's Bitcoin, you simply kidnap him and put a gun to his head. $500 to hire a squad of bodybuilders. So your "freezable accounts" comment really is incidental in the grand scheme of things.

I'm 95% focused on Ripple. 4% focussed on Ethereum and 1% focussed on Bitcoin.

Everything else is a waste of time, effort and money.

This thread is useless because things are changing so fast in the crypto-currency world
 

My top 5 Cryptocurrencies are Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Stellar.

StealthCoin - XST with its brilliant innovations !

Those coins you mentioned have been out since 2014 and have yet to go anywhere in the meantime.  Granted a lot of "legacy" projects (Doge, NXT, LTC) only maintain a higher capitalization, in the first place, due to the whales regurgitating from the 2013 Chinese pump.  Welcome to the world of penny stocks err I mean cryptocurrency.

  Still those legacy projects have yet to recover to their former glory and recovery is hard because there are armies of bagholders who are desperate to cash out and they are willing to take X% losses to do so.  This is well documented with NXT where, each time there is a rebound, some whale or group of bagholders will dump it back down and it's very predictable too.

If we're dealing with strictly 2015 releases then the most successful so far is probably XEM (March release).   I guess number 2 would be PayCoin, if you count December 2014 as being close enough to 2015.

 So far it has been a big surprise that XEM outperformed PayCoin, if you consider the resources and networking Josh Garza had.

Otherwise there simply isn't many 2015 releases so far.   Having gone through Coinmarketcap, seems like almost everything in the top 40 came out in 2014 or years earlier.

BTC, LTC, DOGE, DASH, NXT, BTS these are NOT the top five of 2015 ... they have already arrived.
PP, xMR, and Name are here to stay also.
Ripple and Stellar are NOT Crypto ... they are Corp.

for 2015
1. vert
2. black
3. pot
4. uno
5. flo

vert and black have already made the move
pot uno and flo will earn their marks before 2016

FRK still

people want to promote her hold coin and hope some one interesting to buy it
also i recomended #GEO that Good coin with strong comunity

This thread is useless because people root for the coin they hold

Lets face it no sane investor is going to pay top money for a gold mine which is depleted. In case there is some small scraps left over he is not going to invest a lot to mine the left overs.
No difference in the new digital version. Is it so hard to find 5 mines with a lot of gold coins to extract?
Money itself is free or i get paid using it, like Ripple laps pays the banks a few million xrps so they publicy say that the use Ripple laps now.

NXT

Most put LTC, DOGE, DASH or NXT to the list. This is good cuz i lost faith in some coins especially LTC but more recently he is climbing again and that is good.

I only have 2
Bitcoin and qora
