Bitcoin Forum

Just argue here why any other coin would ever reach the heights of BTC.

Don't give me LTC, NMC, or PPC though because those are clearly gonna do it later on down the line.

#FTC

No. FTC will never make it out of the hole its in.

not if we get a million new alt clone copy and paste crap everyday. New coins without innovation should be left to die.

Gonna remind you onto that in a few months :)

Well i take that bet any day against fiat!
Chrypto is the future whether you like it or not!

swagcoin for sure i think :D

donate 1 ltc here LM8amKkHafkcZ1kU4m1buvKk5eZUTw7qr9
and i will tell you 2 alt coin besides ltc,ftc,nvc,nmc who will reach 500$

I highly doubt it but they're fun to play with.

Beyond BTC & LTC I've been focusing on FTC, QRK, DOGE.

I doubt it. If any did though it would probably be digitalcoin, but it won't happen unless prices become independent of bitcoin I think.

why wasting 1 ltc,  now we already know that FTC will grow insane.. and that should be enough info to get a millionair ;D

now Iam ok with your answer :D

Rise to the value over $1000? Sure, considering how USA manages its debt and how fast are they printing more and more money - few years at most for first alt coin to reach that :).

Rise to the value of 1 BTC = 1 ALT coin? That won't be hard, just create new at least somewhat decent coin with 100 coins total and reward like 0.001 of coin per block. Once market cap of that coin reaches over 100 BTC (dogecoin has about 10K BTC now), you have achieved the goal :)

But for any current alt coin to surpass BTC in terms of market cap and trade volumes? Highly unlikely, though theoretically possible.

ftc is old story.. i know 2 alt's, still young... but the price is 1 ltc

lol no. Don't try to scam in my thread, thanks.

I'm someone who still believes in things being superior on merits eventually winning. 

An altcoin will overtake bitcoin (eventually) if an altcoin is superior in a few crucial ways:

1) price stability
2) flatter distribution -- there's a lot of distrust of early miners who have gigantic amounts of coins.
3) dispelling fears about coins whose keys may or may not be lost (and the potential impact on markets if they are suddenly for sale)
4) Better Dev Team (speed and quality)
5) Faster transaction confirmation
6) Cheaper transaction processing
7) Better Scalability
8) New Functionality
9) Better Privacy
10) Cooler interface
11) Better Security (integration with dedicated security devices like fingerprint readers or hardware wallets?)
12) Better Fiscal/Economic planning/insight.
13) A hard exchange promise for another fungible commodity such as the one BeerCoin attempted. 

I mean, if someone does any three and makes a good case for them, and then is just there working on it day after day for a few years making it work and continuing it, and I think a new alt could overtake Bitcoin.

Now, whether you can make a living wage doing that, or even avoid bankruptcy if you invest too much in it, is another exercise all together.

Digital Coin, World Coin, Secure Coin, Data Coin,  Earth Coin, are my Top 5 coins

EAC Earthcoins (less, cause more coins) and for sure QQ (quickcoins) has more chances to hit 1k$ in a year if they @shoot@

 ::)

If Earthcoin hits 1k Iam going to buy my own spaceshuttle :b

QuickCoin is a joke

RPC

Ron Paul Coin is the Future!

Well, than i like to see trades 1000 jokes for 0.1 BTC at start even without exchanges implemented) also inflation of 30kk in total, lets see... many said same about DOGE and EAC recently

This could actually be a good thing. It would get a lot of media coverage when "another crypto coin hits $1k !!!". Instant crypto boom all over again.

Digitalcoin would be the only other alt coin I can think of. The community that backs it is the number one reason why I say this.

Most likely some trash coin with a ridiculously low total pool . Bitbar is the closest candidate?

In terms of market cap though (excluding the famous premines [Nxt, Ripple, Mastercoin])? Probably not.

The fact is that coin value and market cap mean squat when evaluating currencies. Volume (consistent, monthly averaged volume) is what matters.

Bitcoin carries a huge liability in the form of miners/mining.

Miners demand 100% of all coins ever to be minted, plus transaction fees too on top of that.

That is a huge overhead expense, which ultimately has to come out of the pockets of the "shareholders" aka the holders of the currency.

Get that huge liability out of the way - find a way to not need that insanely huge expense - and that should leave more wealth available to the holders of a currency, yes?

Certainly moving away from even attempting to meet the ridiculous demands / attitude of miners didn't seem to hurt those that did move away from using the blockchain method of securing a ledger / consensus and thus from the insanely expensive overhead of trying to meet such ridiculous demands.

-MarkM-

Sure, when bitcoin worth 10.000 or 20.000 US$, there will be any alt coin in the $1000.

wtf did U expect, that i will tell U for free that kind of info.. go F yourself..
NOW THAT INFO COSTS 2 LTC!

LTC is the only one capable or reaching $1000in a near-ish future.
If the btc trend applies it will happen in 1-2 years

earthcoin will definitely be worth something but 1k is impossible because of the total amount of coins.

Why do you think Earthcoin will definitely be worth something? It doesn't seem very special from where I'm standing.

Only BTC, again. No other coin, everybody knows.  ;)

Since BTC works as a defacto reserve currency (albeit a weak one compared to any present or past historical real life examples), it is not likely. Not unless it has much smaller coin supply and equal or proportional public interest enough to propel the price above 1000.

Probably Earthcoin, as it's been fairly well thought out in terms of its design, and while I had my doubts initially, Protoshares could be another contender.

im super excited about getting into mining

think i am going to start out with catcoin and then go from there

still have to set up my rig though and its looking like it could be a sea of frustration

CatCoin is the only scrypt Bitcoin (params). So Cat is teh future!

CatCoin of course! It has a great long run potential. It appeared a week ago and now it is traded on Cryptsy!

It could only be a coin that is rare. Diffi @ CAT will grow fast and coin will be hard to mine.

CAT

In what way does CAT have "great long run potential"?

+1 for earth coin  ;)

The way the US is printing money, SOCKS will cost a $1,000 soon!

CAT will soon have difficulty 256. That will make CAT among the very most difficult to mine Scrypt coins. CAT is what DOGE should have been -- a coin which is sufficiently difficult to mine that it doesn't overwhelm its demand with supply. CAT does right what DOGE did wrong. CAT is the future.

+1 for CAT.
Second one imo would be World Coin.

Many existing altcoins are crap! The value development of altcoins that have a value in some minor area will never reach $1000 (except there are only a few one of them  ;D). I think, all will depend on the price development of bitcoins and how much people believe in fiat money in future.

probably Litecoin but no pre mined scam-coins

Protoshares has the potential to reach not just $1000 but even higher rates as it isn't just a coin but a share as well, so it's value will be influenced by the assets behind it. Some good assets can drive the price to "da moon" :).

Disagree.
Doge is popular with thousands of people that have masses of enthusiasm to develop services and features around it independant of its price. Regardless of what people think of its meme beginnings, its about the only crypto being treated as a currency right now, and for sustainability and spreading to more hands thats what will count. I like it, and i enjoy the community around it which is whats important for me to keep my interest. That said, its supply is stupid right now and is a huge hurdle for it, and i do agree that this was a big oversight.

I cant see CAT or Earthcoin going anywhere and arent sure what the reasons are for people backing them.

My outside bet is with Diamond or WorldCoin.

-edit - and i dont think ANY of them will get anywhere near $1000, was just pointing out my preferences for 'doing best' in terms of market.

I think its the wrong question to put a price on value per coin, its more about its marketcap for its max amount of coins available.
For now its still dependant on the success of bitcoin, more and more places are starting to accept them. Once thats a proven success you might see more acceptance of the other altcoins.
There is nothing certain about anything yet though.

Just one more thing. IMO in a dot.com bubble like scenario any coin can reach $1000 with enough hype and media coverage.
