Bitcoin Forum

I think we all know where bitcoin is going in terms of price (to the moon  :D). Since its price is already so high, there is not so much (i know it is relative) money to made. Can anybody suggest me some cheap and perspective altcoin(s) to throw my money on? Wanna be that norwegian guy 8). Thank you guys!

same question i want to ask :)

While it's certainly not that cheap (40 cents each now, I belive) I'd recommend CGB.

Hah.

The problem with this forum is that everyone thinks their coin is the next bitcoin/litecoin.

Of course everyone wants their investments to prosper, but do some research on CGB. It's an extremely promising altcoin. to newbiecoiner, I recommend it as well  :)

I've done my research. CGB aims to transition to PoS only within the coming months. However, if you understood the inner workings of the PoS protocol you would understand why this can not work.

Can't say I'm a fan.

They were considering it, recognized the flaws of PoS only and are deciding to either move or not, and If they do, there would be some sort of overlay to remove the flaws. There are also some big projects being released in the near future, whether it is about being PoS only or not, we will see. don't forget there is a baseline of 0.01 PoW blocks

You should take a look at TagCoin. It's the first real business enterprise I've seen behind an alt-coin with 17 staff and they have a (I think) fully licensed and regulated fiat-to-BTC or fiat-to-TAG exchange, and their rewards platform is quite extensive, if you are a developer you will notice the work that's gone into it.

Peercoin.  

Probably the best alternative coin, its still cheap, easy to mine, dedicated community and has a BIG future.

http://www.coindesk.com/peercoin-vault-of-satoshi-deal/, for more info.

...it is seriously being researched and solutions tested.  The code in its current state has CGB remaining as a PoW/PoS coin.

Feathercoin.

Great community, got already merchant support and still very very cheap.

Maybe this thread would be for overall altcoin discussion, since something like that do not exist?

Holy shit, never seen so much misinformation and obvious empty promises in one place lol

As log as people stay away from Spots and CPR all is fine, right?  :)

Thanks for the info, but i dont think that 10 time is massive since bitcoin has 72000 fold his initial value to date.

This is all wrong, I wouldn't mine any of those 3 alts.

Maybe you can suggest some alternatives?

If you want a rare coin, then go for CGB.
Otherwise I'd recommend MEC.

This place has near zero volume with 30% spreads...
Volume and liquidity is everything...
And I don't think the platform is anything but ordinary.

These guys are not gonna draw traders from BitStamp, BCT-e, MCX.

CGB caught my eyes also, but there are lots of people telling it is not perspective. I like that it has a big group of facebook followers.

LTC , mec, dgc, xpm, cgb, anc, ppc  - these look semi safe bets and won't fade to nothing anytime soon. ALthough all have taken a bit of a knock against btc lately. Hopefully they will slowly recover.

wdc seems to have bounced back and is holding strong now too.

tix and adt made me a bit although couldn't say at all if they have any kind of decent future, but adt is very cheap right now.

I like MEC and tried to snap up some cheap cgb but lost out at 7 it's now back to 13 :(  even in the face of the big btc jump. That is quite something.

I think if ltc falls to $2 again, start grabbing it up. If it holds above 4 for 3 weeks then grab it up at 4.

It's all pretty much a guess at this point, but there are some coins that seem to be dead.


The more alts released the more i fear all will be seen as monopoly tokens not to be taken seriously. The good thing is most don't bother to mine new alts like they once did.

I Agree!   ;D  ;D   also Namecoin due to the fact that they provide DNS domain: absolutely unique!

Devcoin.  Cheapest coin out there and I think it's bottomed out.  ;)

Well, Namecoin's price was varying between 0.005 and 0.011 btc, but it crashed after a big bug was found, a fix has been announced and will be implemented in the next few weeks, so I'd invest some money in namecoin.

Peercoin is what you want to invest in for the long run, it's extremely undervalued at 0.00166 btc right now, it's one of the most innovative coins, and has a pretty active developer.

Primecoin is interesting, could end up crashing and burning, or could end up outperforming everything else.

Mastercoin is the newest, is still under development, its a very complicated coin, currently costs about 0.1  btc ea(increased in price by about 1000 percent since august 2013(when it was launched) original price was about 0.01 btc ea), Note however that they're two mastercoins, the real innovative one, and the scam altcoin.  You can find all the information you want about the real one here at http://www.reddit.com/r/mastercoin .


I've just invested in these in a 10:20:20:6 ratio with the remainder going to bitcoins.

All the coins on BTC-e are even or overpriced. None is going to go even 3x in the short term.

Because it was launched in the last 24 hours and the accounts aren't setup maybe?

Primecoin has a meaningful proof of work system actually looking for new prime numbers. As far as i know there are no other coins where mining them is actually beneficial to science or any other subject.. others just use SHA which are random Hex.

No. Primecoin is a bad idea.

WDC seem to have a pretty good forward looking plan and soon you can exchange $ for WDC.
I like the sound of curecoin, though I don't know a great deal about it as it hasn't been released yet!

WDC has just been pumped, nothing more.

The best Altcoin is Litecoin

http://coinmarketcap.com/

Litecoins market cap is around 45 times smaller than Bitcoin
Litecoins market cap is around 2-3 times bigger than all the other altcoins added together.

This doesn't take away from any other coins ability to shine but litecoin is about to see huge expansion - in short want to be an early adopter? - Buy a few litecoin.

That's only because it's among the oldest coins.

I've bought some zeta because I'm curious what will happen once supply dries up.
There's supposed to be 161 mil produced in the first year, 95% of which are already mined. And then a steady 1 mil per year produced after that.
Plus the current block reward is 62.5 and in about 2 days it's going to halve to 31.25.

I'm hoping that pretty soon the supply might run out and it won't take much demand to push the price up a lot.

I would like to make your attention to EmerCoin (EMC).
In contrast to pure speculative bases of another cryptos, it has strong fundamental technology basis -
distributed services like tts, dns, emcssl, emcssh, anonymous board, etc.

You must have done pretty good.  Back in Nov 2013 Zetacoin was as low as 70 satoshi.  Today it's 35x that amount and it's going to go even higher (1000x) in the next 5 years.  Hope you bought a lot, sold some and still holding a bit!

Man I wish I knew about Zetacoin back then.  Would have put down a couple thousand dollars even not knowing how high it went in the past year.  Anyone with a brain can see the economics behind ZET are really great.
