Title: BTC is #1 - which crypto is #2-5?
Post by: iGROWyourBiz on April 14, 2014, 03:50:27 PM
Based on VOLUME of trading and USD Value of COIN

BTC is clearly #1

based on same criteria who is:

#2
#3
#4
#5


(not YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE or who has most POTENTIAL -- but who TODAY has the trade volume and $ equivalent)

Thanks!

Google is an aggregate of miscellaneous information and an inefficient way of finding specific information.   



GOOGLE does NOT provide answers....it provides links to WEBSITES it THINKS have answers.

ANYONE can put up a website, even those with self serving interests.

I want specific and true info, not who spent the most on SEO.

#1 BTC
#2 LTC
#3 BTC
#4 BTC
#5 Dogecoin

What I fell for sure :)

I cannot say anything about any altcoin projects - so many collapse, fail etc.

Bitcoin is the only one and true.
Litecoin is very good.
Dogecoin is ultra fast.

Best way to do that is to come to here and get unbiased opinions?

Blackcoin is #2

Blackcoin is #2

Technically its number 6.... currently, I expect it to rise some more.

NXT - or one of it's descendants.
Vertcoin
Blackcoin
Litecoin
Bitcoin

Seriously, PoS is where it's at. PoS and utility ie. fast transactions. And fairness or democratisation ie. ASIC Proof.

Yet, I don't  think the ultimate coin has been developed yet.

Fast transactions is kinda not really a selling point anymore. If it were Fastcoin would be pretty popular considering 8 second blocks. Many sites only need 1 confirm, or even zero confirms. The difficulty of the network allows for great security.

I will get targeted opinions, and faster than sifting through mounds of unrelated data.

With each new coin launch, exploiters gets another testing ground. How many coins have been 51%ed or DoSed on launch? Not waiting for confirmations is not security, it's a huge liability. Hence my second criteria: Democratisation... or perhaps better put - better decentralisation.

BUt with bitcoin, its a different situation. Its been out 5 years, and has the hardest difficulty, so its not a launch coin. I believe reading there has only been one confirmed event of double spending, but thats about it.

I am convinced that Peercoin (PPC) will be one of the stable top-5 cryptocoins. It could outperform even Litecoin, as Litecoin's advantages over BTC are minimal, but PPC solves a major problem of BTC, has a talented leading dev and a very reasonable coin supply/inflation model (lower inflation than BTC now, but no fixed cap).

Remember, PPC is also Blackcoin's grandfather.
