So of all the newest projects being released right now, and also all the ones currently gaining ground right now, which Alt coins do you think will be most adopted in 2017?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1512202

Maybe STRAT, it is a new coin developed for businesses, with C# bitcoin full node and blockchain consultancy, many good features.

I'm already a big fan of the Stratis for their transaction speed! Good choice!  ;)

Lisk, Waves and NEM have a good chance to reach adoptation in the next years. The foundations are very good for each of these coins and they start to reach more and more people.

It is always difficult to tell for sure, but I'd focus on the ones that have highest potential vs market cap. E.g. it is more likely for a 20-50 mil coin to double or tripple in value than one that is valued at 200-500 mil.

Imo, the real surge in altcoin prices started by ethereum will soon follow to the other coins as well. They are waiting to explode!

I hope so, how do you guys feel about monero?

If you think end of 2017 is not that much till then. 16 months. Is a lot but adoption wise is not that much. I think there will be little changes as they it is right now, or maybe.  

Monero will not become most widely used coin beside Bitcoin before next economic crisis will almost end. So it can take many years till then. No way at end of 2017.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you just made me want it even more. lol

Litecoin :D because it's one of the oldest altcoin with a good volume :)

Monero is a good coin but there are others to make bigger profit off of currently.
Its hard to say because it depends on when you buy, today I would buy ETC and Monero, but make sure you are always holding BTC or you will miss the next big hike

I think KR is a good coin to invest in right now. Low market cap and the available supply is also low at 2,884,232 KR. The foundation of the coin are very good and has a strong community backing along with an active dev. KR is now starting to reach more and more people each day. KR is an ETH clone and the dev just started their first smartcontract which is why KR has recently had a nice increase in price. This is just start as I expect bigger things to come in the future. 

interesting

What altcoin? It will not matter because it will not even put a dent on bitcoin's dominance. For a little while I thought that Ethereum had the potential to compete with bitcoin. After the hard fork I realized it was never going to dominate from the moment it was created.

What about ETH?

Monero is good coin but i think the ETC coin surpass thr ffame it by this time, and i think it will boost for more since many people support the alleged criminal coin( i dunno why) and maybe by this coming next year if people will still support this like when its starting theirs no doubt really it will get more fame and price may even go higher. And also i think we can try to look at those new altcoin existed like pesobit with 20m supply maybe it will boom in the market and for now i will watch the progress of that coin.

Monero for sure - lots of major updates and applications coming up in the next 1-3 months and the core anon tech is second to none

The crypto world really confusing , there are many coins , Dash surpassed $10 and its price might increase more , Ethereum also recover its value , ETC has a lot of noise around it , although it rose up suddenly , Steem managed to fetch more investors , I can't tell you which one will be the most adopted , because all these coins have the qualifications to be the most adopted coin .

I'll throw a new hat in the ring, Ripple.

With the correspondent banking madness going on in Caribbean/Latin America, Ripple may be able to appeal to more banks, if they are scared of BTC due to Silkroad, etc.

Factom is another one with potential if the Dutch central bank likes their testing results.

NAV may make a breakthrough for underground/anon/TOR users before Silkcoin - especially cuz it's cheaper than Monero and Dash.

I don't think there's a single coin that is going to have any relevant amount of adoption. Why would business accept anything else but Bitcoin? That's why alts must provide something new.

There's a lot of buzz around Waves. If they deliver, it can be an altcoin with quite a potential.
Then it looks like Monero is waking up (about time btw!)
Dash/DRK is still strong.
ETH may either go very high, either very low (I expect very low).


However, I think that almost everybody has a few DOGE around. But unfortunately the value is too low and people don't think of it as "having" anything.

I think NXT is going to make a comeback with Ardor/NXT 2.0. It will be the dark horse of the Crypto in 2017.

Off the top of my head:
SilkRoad
Bitcoin block size argument
AML teaching that Bitcoin is money laundering/terrorist funding tool.

I think what is more likely to happen is implementation of some lowly altcoin as a replacement for airline miles, credit card points, supermarket loyalty cards.  A unified loyalty system for JetBlue, Publix, Capital One and Marriott, for example, using an altcoin that is cheap enough to make large-scale redemption uncommon, but worth enough for people to trade within the loyalty system and be happy to win in contests.

I see a future in a new series of coins, initiated by the DDoScoin proposal.
Maybe we will see a Allahu Ackbar coin which explodes when you download it ?

Not one single alt will get anywhere near adoption outaide their own little world.

We'll see more stuff like steem but that'll still be used to earn more bitcoin. That don't count as adoption to me.

Maybe there'll be something that comes from nowhere but i ain't holding my breath.

All of them really now that I five it a moment of thought. They all gonna pump come 2017 and we'll all be rich.

Most probably those coins funded heavily such as Waves, breakout coin, Xaurum and right now, antshares. There are more of them which are considerable good project and they might just rise later after those who are on to top already like ETH and Dash.

You might wanna invest to these coins today for they are still cheap. Don't wait for it to go a dollar each.

i hope that you are right because i have some altcoins as etc and stratis so it would be cool to make some profit out of it in the near future

ethereum has a very big marketcap perhaps it's possible that it will be adopted as a side coin for bitcoin, it offer something over bitcoin, so being not a directly contender put it in a good position for aodption

I would say Synereo. It has climbed to number 14 on coinmarketcap.com, that looks really promising for a coin that only launched recently. Not that I fancy the idea behind it -  too much like steem to me.

ETC/ETH and Factom. Not necessarily in that order. ETH/ETC has seen developer adoption and in time these developers will do good. Factom has seen interest from Department of Homeland Security which has the possibility of translating into other departments of US government.

I think in the future there'll be less emphasis on the technology used and more focus on building products that people want. The majority of people don't care if it is built on blockchain technology they care if the product is any useful to them.

Things will remain the same without much change, I do not think any alt coin can be considered as "most adopted" at least in next year.

If anything, disgruntled steem users (be it they missed the train, lost trading, dislike the platform etc.) will migrate to synereo and surely cause its popularity to surge, albeit however long it may be. 

I haven't delved into the mechanics behind either, but seems as if Synereo has been in the workings for far longer & has much more transparency behind the whole project.  Steem appeared to just create new tokens & shifted game plans out of nowhere (to me at least - but again I never studied it too much). 

The thing that pisses me off about Steem is how users just shitpost and circlejerk over how awesome it is, in attempts to get more steem/sd/whatever...rather than actually using it as a replacement to other social media platforms.

Think all the privacy coins will see widespread adoption and PR in 2017: monero, dash, Z-cash etc. Think Ethereum Classic, if it hangs around that long, will also do well.

I always see some users suggesting stratis. How is this better compare to bitcoin?
And does this have mass adoption feature?

I still think eth will be the most adopted later.

Good question

Great post.
Alts don't really get adopted.
They get traded or used on a short term to increase the BTC amount or to cash out some part in fiat later.
Each alt exist in it's own microworld where a breakout from is mostly wishful thinking.

When will ethereum lovers finally see that ETH is a coin going on its jolly way to suicide. The coin has been over-hyped for too long.

The one that I have a close eye on, but that is really difficult to understand is Tau Chain Agoras. It can be revolutionary, but at the same time it can fail miserably because it's so difficult to understand unless you have a degree in Computer Science and are a mathematician.

Good question, I am also a stratis lover.   :D

How is this better compare to bitcoin? 

I think Stratis offers C# full nodes, it means bitcoin code will be rewritten in stratis, bitcoin is coded with C++, but C++ is difficult to implement bank and corporation dapps. You see why lisk and eth offer different language platform cuz C++ is really difficult to build easy-use and simpler dapps. Stratis will be first C# business platform, let's see.

And does this have mass adoption feature?

If more C# devs develop business dapps in this platform, there will be a mass adoption, like ethereum has lots of devs.
