Shutting this down because it turned into a propaganda thread

I wish nobody will remember NXT or QRK in 2017, but people will know Dogecoins, Primecoins, maybe Litecoins and Worldcoins.

You gave no reason, your answer is not based on any fact. So therefore you have no merit.

I believe BTC and LTC and Doge will all be irrelevant by then and we will choose the technically best coin.

But as far as currencies to be remembered.

BTC - it started it all
LTC - it came in second and stayed there till bombing, at which point Doge became a weak second place.
Doge - joke coin, brought many into crypto. Looked strong, lacked business adoption. Educated users on cryptos.
QRK - will be remembered as a CPU-mined coin. and the fastest coin. may struggle in gaining a footing in the market like many other coins.


Honestly, I believe a government (or possibly just some legitimate institution) is gonna put out a P2P crypto coin (that's CPU-mined like QRK or fairquark or any 6-encryption coin) that dominates. ^^Those 4 will be remembered as paving the way and have short term/medium term growth potential. Not long term.

Governments will just have a digital version based on the current currency. There is no way they can totally switch to fully digital in the next 3 years.
You will see the option to pay in digital dollars, physical dollars, or credit cards based on physical dollars.

A government can't reeducate its people on monetary systems, they can only create an alternative based on the current model.


Bitcoin will not vanish in 3 years, i think its just the beginning as governments begin to truly fail.

The coin the US government releases, number 1.

Bitcoin ASIC (SHA 256)
Litecoin GPU (scrypt)
Quark CPU (9 algos 6 hashes)

top 5 in 2017?  BTC, LTC & EAC, the others 2 didnt born yet

http://business.financialpost.com/2013/09/19/canadian-mint-pushes-ahead-in-murky-world-of-crypto-currency-with-mintchip-project/ is what I'm thinking of with a P2P currency. Economics professors in the US are advocating that the US gov't gets into cryptos (although I realize that is incredibly improbable), I see that as the only way to create the dominant crypto.


Also, people posting shit like EAC are idiots. I just looked that coin up, because I thought it might be some environmental coin (which would be a nice trait), but its just a block reward schedule based on the earth's rotation.. Honestly?

I agree more so with @Netnox. I diversify my portfolio based on coin families (since this generally creates unique traits in the coins), so CPU-mined, GPU-mined, and BTC are the big 3. I also think that one family will run away with the crypto-king title. We'll have to see who gains momentum later on this year.

I think the following will still be the top.

Bitcoin
Litecoin
Primecoin
Feathercoin
Dogecoin
Quark

I looked through most of that, and yeah the devs seem cute. They seem fun to hangout with and all that..And they're definitely better people than a lot of those launching coins, but I just don't believe in their product over others (in terms of investment potential, and functionality). You won't be able to convince me of functionality, there are many more functional coins, and many more functional coins that I still wouldn't invest in because they're overvalued relative to other coins on the market.


I like Kenshin's post^^
That's a pretty good list.

Betacoin for sure my friend :).

The reason is it is much more fair than every other coin that came out the latest year, shows stability and an increasing trend. Also new features
are soon going to be added by the Developers in the Block chain and many electoric shops are going to use it's chart for transactions.
It shows real decentralization since it is not premined and home miners with low cost ASICs already mining it.

Bitcoin
Litecoin
Devcoin
Namecoin
Quark

I'm definitely hoping CGB will make it's stand this year.

I think the currencies that will stand are bitcoin, litecoin, peercoin and primecoin.

could you explane why you see feather in 2017? I see no major arguments for that  :-\

2017 and you are millionaire... only if got Infinitecoin's :)

Bitcoin and four coins you haven't heard of yet.

You can use your psychic abilities for greater goods my friend, like saving man kind, or....
Can you tell me who mu real parents are, i am adopted? :D
Thanks

While I don't necessarily favor Quark over other CPU-mined coins (seriously, you should all consider diversifying your portfolio with ASICs, GPU and CPU mined coins), I think its a reasonable coin that could last into the future.

Main site is professional - http://www.qrk.cc/
they have the foundation in place to assure investors they're working - http://www.quarkfoundation.cc/
they have a ton of video support - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb8si58DW9Y and this channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvEMrREf6HAK9ZcAKHmuNGw
and just a shit ton of random other sites they spam onto reddit @ /r/cryptocurrency.

FairQuark seems like a good alternative. I'm just pissed they premined that coin.

Quark had the balls to bring something different. Also it's safe to hold a CPU mined coin. You need to give props where it's due.
It belongs to the top Cryptos http://www.reddit.com/r/QuarkCoin/

Your are ignorant. Go play with your klondikecoin or whatever it's called

I was around when Quark was posted on here...Posted the day mining started. Mining still hasn't finished, and its impossible to define 'instamine' because its hard to tell whether a coin mined in 6 months vs 12 months should be called instant in the grand scheme of things.

I would literally support any viable alternatives to Quark (in terms of CPU-mined coins), but i don't really see a major one with the marketing/branding. I wanted FairQuark to be successful, but they shot themselves in the ass by premining the coin.



Also, Socketpuppets? Is that some term I've just never heard of?

I'm voting for not-yet existing currencies:

Bitcoin
Litecoin
eMunie
Ethereum
Unknown

I think you're onto something. I doubt the big coin in 2017 exists now.

All of the coins we have now will be "also ran" by 2017,at which time i think the 5 biggest coins will be which ever 5 some of the Super Power countries are making/backing..

As you can see only Betacoin has strong arguments and attributes.

bitcoin
litecoin
dogecoin

Ethereum will still not be lanched yet in 2017 :D

+1

3.44% of Quark addresses own 91% of the coins. That is a dealbreaker.

Franko of course will be number one :)
