Bitcoin Forum

Just thought I'd make a new thread for the sole purpose of investment in altcoins. This is all to do with newbie trading and what people think is a bright future in terms of altcoins and trading. Personally I believe IFC (Infinitecoins) are being extremely stable right now along with TIX that are perfect for newbie investors that don't really want to put in large quantities. IFC could be integrated globally and TIX due to it's development and marketing could be a great example of a gambling coin and purchasing coin done well. CUE SPECULATION. What are you newbies investing in?

I currently have a big bag of grandcoin and little bags of everything i could get my hangs on. im not to pickey i kinda want to have at least some of everything just incase something happens ya never know now a days what will skyrocket. cant hurt to hop around once in a while.

Gold and silver are considered by many to fit the bill.  Held value for many thousands of years, it is likely that has not changed.  IMHO get some AG, AU, then some BTC and LTC, maybe feathercoin too.  It pays not to keep all your eggs in one basket!

Dont invest BTC in altcoins, mine these with your GPU  ;)

most pepole like litecoin

None, you could as well gamble with your money.
There is no altcoin with a "bright future" out there yet imo.

I am going with litecoin its best coin and many are trusting on this

Litecoin but not any more, it has been dropping since many months ago.

Litecoin

It's the best and most popular alt coin, stop the hate already, some of you bitcoiners sound like the banksters who are against btc who try to put btc down. In this case you are the banksters trying to hate on ltc instead of supporting it

That has no meaning since Litecoin can be build into any service or application as easy as Bitcoin.
On the other side Litecoin simply provides the nessecary liquidity (number of units) for bigger markets
which is limited to 21E14 for Bitcoins  ;D (the EZB has given out something around this as EURO).

So my expectation is that the future will bring combined services for LTC/BTC and the exchange rate
will go to 0.25

Gold Pressed Latinum as soon as it's on sale.  Should be this week at the upcoming scifi coin exchange.

If we think about long term, I would invest in "good name" coins like WDC DGC even RYC- they may be easily implemented by masses.
If at some time BTC become popular as facebook - "obvious choices" will won. There will be competition on facebook who got better sounding coins - my uncle, grandpa or friend from primary school. :)

Litecoin

I see your point.  But more people already love startrek then BTC

When the trek mainstream start to learn and understand that coins and the services that are muted,  then the it becomes clear.  these type of coins have a real chance.  Think how many billions of Trekkie would love to go to star-trek convention and buy goods with real gold pressed latinum with a real word value.  

For me it has bags of potential.  

It is still the "wild west", I do not recommend "investing" more than you can risk losing and be comfortable with.

If you are looking for proven alternatives in coin, that would, of course, be elements that have symbols like AU and AG

As for the these new currencies, BTC and LTC stand head and shoulders above the rest.

All of this is, of course, IMHO and other opinions will vary.

Ripple XRP is fun to speculate on.

SXC... You can say people love Startrek, but even more people love porn.. It's hard to get solid figures on, but it's estimated to have an annual turnover of 10-14 billion dollars.

If you get over being childish or prudish, you may actually see the business opportunity.. "marrying" what are essentially digital goods to a digital currency..

And of course offering anonmynity to the user, defeating freindly fraud, and allowing the industry to adopt a microtransactional business model..

It's a high risk investment, there's no debate there... But it's also high profit, considering the potential.

I'm  trading ripple, ppc and primecoin right now.  I tripled  my ripple holdings in 3 months thru trading.   :)

On this moment TIX is very promises and BTC.

The problem with Gold and Silver is there's very small growth potential and they're also very likely to be over-valued right now (according to the sources I read, anyway).

Altcoins, however, may be extremely under-valued now, so there's a huge growth potential.

Say you bought 10,000 PPC for 30 BTC (0.0029 BTC/PPC) which is $4,300 today. There are 2 x 2 possible scenarios:

1) PPC goes up, BTC goes up (big win)
2) PPC goes up, BTC goes down or stays (win)
3) PPC goes down or stays, BTC grows (win)
4) PPC goes down or stays, BTC goes down or stays (no change or loss)

In 3 out of 4 scenarios, you win!

Let's take the best possible scenario: PPC goes up 10x since it's so cheap today and BTC goes up 2x (none of this is science fiction, as we've seen much higher growth in the past). Then your $4,300 that you've invested have become $4,300 x 10 x 2 = $86,000!. Not bad, eh?

Obviously it's a no-brainer to invest in alt cryptos. You just have to do your research and find out which ones have the future (active dev team, proven history of stable existence, acceptance, etc).

I also thought about Infinitycoin, but the main problem - a lot of miners allready have millions infinitycoins.

I prefer datacoin - I think it could goes up very-very fast. Interesting idea, good PR (I read article about it on very popular Russian IT website).

And of course, I bought other coins in small amount...who knows  :)
