Title: Which crypto currency is the next to boom?
Post by: Sword Smith on April 03, 2013, 12:42:37 AM
The last couple of days, litecoins have exploded in value from less than a dollar to almost 4$ today! Will this continue and which crypto currency, if any, is next to boom, do you think?

In my opinion, a currency is like a network and its value is determined by how many people that use it or how many people speculators expect will be using this currency in the future. And here, there are other factors than only network size or hashes per second at play. The technology is also important and I think that one of the positive things about litecoins is that transactions are confirmed faster than with bitcoins. Which techonological benefits do the different currencies have and which parameters will be the relevant for determining a winner or the winners in the long run?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this!

Humans are the most profound pattern seeking machines.

US wants to monopolize the virtual currency market and forks their own coin . . . the Obamacoin.

Lol, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. It would be 15 years from now though.

The only coin that offer more utility is PPC.  It will become more obvious as transaction fees rise.

Care to elaborate?

Can I trust PPC as much as the other currencies?  Isn't there some code issues?

My bet is on PPcoin (PPC)

TRC or PPC, simply because I'm running out of options.  NVC is such a silly piece of software that I can't take it seriously.  Namecoin is odd and intended for other purposes.  Devcoin is devcoin.  SolidCoin...don't know much about that one, but for some reason, I don't like it.
