Bitcoin Forum

Hi guys, can anyone give an idea about what ALTCOIN will dominate and succeed in the future?
In terms of its price in usd and market status. This thread is just for your opinions to be heard

probably Lite or Dogecoin

All Altcoins are to fall. We need centralisation and one good coin. Not another 1000 useless coins with no future. It would be better that people won't create anymore altcoins imho.

It is so hard to say ...

there are many good coins around but perhaps Litecoin have a chance to stay with us for some longer ...

It is so hard to say ... coins are attacked, coins are dumped, well many problems with other altcoins - Litecoin seems very secure.

Noblecoin

99% of current alts will probably lose 99% of their value over the next couple years.

You get better odds at a roulette wheel.

Why you think so?

I might agree that this is possible ...
but 99% is almost all of them ... which I am not so sure :)

My latest rant on this is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=624223.msg7780350#msg7780350

None will dominate, some will flourish. As for specific coins - no idea - but:

At least one anon coin.
At least one coin with built-in decentralized asset exchange or financial services (NXT, Ripple, CounterParty, Bitshares, Mastercoin - that kind of thing).

Apart from that anything which appeals to a specific niche group of users (not just miners) has a chance, and everything which doesn't has very little chance.

It is very interesting I must say but those are only speculations and for being honest I think that there is a place for few altcoins next to the Bitcoin.
Well and this is what you are saying too. 99% of current alts means that few of them will survive :-)
And this is what I am thinking about it too.

Kind regards.

they have also a lot of bounties

Monero because it has a place to exist.
The rest are shitty gimmicks.

From time to time there will be a coin that catches attention and is "cool" to own, but long term all altcoins will get replaced by other coins.

i think litecoin will be the best, less features is better.

Best way to get an idea is to look at the top 30 or so coins.  Then you can decide for yourself which to invest in, also you will get an idea what gives them the top coin status.  Nobody knows best where you should put your money so make sure to do your research along with considering the advice of others in this thread.  ;)

darkcoin, vertcoin, ripple, quark, doge, litecoin

So why not just use your mastercard?

I'm confident that the following is true: Altcoins are new, everyone wants to be a dev, so things are insane at the moment.

It will settle down, and more than a handful will find niches.

The short-term future for an altcoin is getting a small market all for itself.

This is happening, although very slowly.

Well, if you look a the world there are several FIAT curriencies, a world wide currency isn't necessary, maybe different trends happen in each place of the world and we have a couple active cryptos, maybe not and everyone embraces BTC. In an unregulated market everything is possible as long as there is someone accepting whatever coin. Also, if you want 100% privacy, I wouldn't use BTC but Monero as of to date.

Exactly.
Increase in user adoption and limited supply of coins will be a problem for bitcoin, I don't think Satoshi thought it would get this big.

With at least one or two alt coins, it gives a place for users to go when bitcoins are too rare which may help stabalize bitcoin.

Since when is limited supply a problem? BTC is divisible up to 8 decimals so there are more than enough units for everyone to use.

Even if/when the need arises they can be divided even more.

And on-topic: Monero

The people here saying Litecoin are delusional, almost every single shitcoin coming out at the moment has more future potential than Litecoin, it's just that Litecoin has been number 2 for a long time as the silver next to the gold (BTC), but will be thrown of the altcoin throne in the near future.

Got a good feeling about XC.  ;D

It depends on your definition of future I suppose. I think in the near future the technology will evolve quickly, new application coins, DACs, whatever will start to appear. As that happens most people will move away from the old coin "old technology" and onto more useful things. Such as decentralized exchanges, banks, market places, forums, games etc. that have block chain technology. Check out bitshares, counterparty and etherium for some of the innovators in crypto.

I like Noblecoin. It seems like a really genuine project with not too much BS or scammers.

(and NXT might be worth a go as well)

VeriCoin is the future!! It is BTC 2.0

Rollbackcoin

Tor Coin, the real one, the one that hasn't been released yet!

Guldencoin is the best coin its accept @ 3 subways in the netherlands

Today top future players:
- BTC ( to big to fall )
- similiar protocools: ( NXT Bitshares NEM good core developers ) Java POS family
- similiar protocools: (Blackcoin good core developer, + some coins in line XC Cloak, unfortunately PPC at development goes slowly )
- similiar protocools: ( LTC good core devs Doge as support coin )
- anon XMR or ANC ( ring signatures vs zero knowledge )
- Counterparty is interesting and builded on BTC (1st decentralized exchange cool projects)

Features:
in real most features can be builed on any coin like when lets say BC will deliver decentralized exchange later all will adopt it
when Cloak will deliver one market rest can go inside and trade on cross chain solutions...
Centralized solutions like holytrransaction can be build on any coin no matter name

nobody knows. i there will stay  few altcoins like LTC was in good days. (may be litecoin will be the one of them). i think that should be altcoins with different technologies (PoS/PoW  CPU/(GPU-priveleged),  mining and etc) for peoples interesting in one of them with prices near 6-8 USD. in this forum my idea sounds like "99% of shitcoins must die! ;D"

 

protocool: I like that word!  It's almost cool ;D

Imho, it will be:

- Bitcoin because of the first-mover advantage.
- Dogecoin because of its big community and its high transaction volume.
- Peercoin because it's a PoS coin (thus an hedge against PoW's problem) which has a good distribution.

I also think a few other cryptos will survive by filling niches in community which can benefit from cryptos.

I think coins that are backed by hard tangible assets are the future, ala http://www.businessspectator.com.au/news/2014/7/17/technology/gold-dealer-launches-first-bullion-backed-cryptocurrency

The main purpose of cryptocurrency is to have a money where you don't have to trust any central authority.

Backing them by anything else than cryptography seem counter-productive.

If i look REALLY far I bet on somthing like:

- Maidsafe!
- Ethereum
- Bitshares

nearer future maybe

- BTC
- NXT
- NEM
- some kind of anonymous coins like Monero

Everyone starts saying NXT right as I sell mine to mitigate losses... WHY!?

I can understand what people are thinking, it's just that the past performance wasn't as good as I was hoping for, and now I'm kind of stuck with where I am. I could go pick up a bit more NXT, but I'd kinda be pushing it if there isn't much more to help it along... Why is the price dropping anyways?

Riecoin is the coin to hold long term.

it's kind of new and relatively less people are holding it
you always have high volatility, because you addict to the few people who can manipulate the market in some way. Even on BTC you see that.
But the basic trend can't be manipulated...

My advice:
- buy low
- sell high only if you want to gamble
- just buy and forget. look at the price in 5 years to celebrate. Just imagine, if you were buying btc in 2010 for 50 cent and forgot it. If you followed the price, you would probably have sold it earlier and bite your ass.
- don't sell low in any case... it will high likely bottom out and recover
