The only chance for DOGE if someone can find a purpose and some real life application for it. Without that, it will fading away slowly. (Perhaps not so slowly if an other meme coin turning up on the market and if that new coin can attract more attention.)
You could say that for hundreds of other cryptocoins. Dogecoin has a huge community, a relatively stable price and inflation rate, and is traded on virtually every exchange. There are many merchants that accept it, and development is active and ongoing. I would say its future is as sound as litecoin's. However, I'm not invested in either. Please read what I wrote. I said "it will fading away slowly". You see, I'm not interested in most of those "hundreds of other cryptocoins", but I'm somewhat still interested in DOGE. That's why I said what I said. Doge still has some momentum, so the community have to act until that momentum lasts. |

Until now we haven't really seen an alt succeed, dogecoin made some buzz user wise, but they couldn't really hold on to it, meme got old, many abandoned it including its creator. Litecoin has nice trading volume but from a network effect perspective i think it's pretty poor, it has only traders and the rest of the coins have a really poor amount of users. Without having an app on the store it's close to impossible to gain tons of users, last time i checked from the 700 coins only 6 had an iOS and those aren't attractive enough for the average person. Adding a reward-value program along with some nice marketing suddenly gives more incentive.
Unfortunately you are right. I think most coins used to fail because of the lack of real world services (I do not consider exchanges, faucets and Hi-Lo sites as a service), and therefore the lack of real demand. Gems might be able to break out this circle, if they can extend their "services" to more social networking, media or other platforms. Perhaps more redemption option would be also useful. |

Back in last year, I was impressed by how an 'innovative' project like ethereum drew so much attention, aiming at
expanding cryptocurrency possibilities. They called it web 3.0, they called it cpryptocurrency 2.0, the called it the future.
Several months later, back in last summer the ether IPO started. I was not experienced in any IPO, so I was skeptical
of investing even the minimum of 0.01 BTC. The solution was to see what other people were thinking about the IPO.
I was convinced not to invest.People said that a lot of times money have been lost in IPOs and pre-mined coins.
You obviously missed an opportunity for a nice profit. I still consider ethereum a great idea, and I am happy that cryptocurrencies evolve. However the IPO has nothing to do with the project's innovative nature! On top of that, it appears to me that ethereum could barely be called decentralised; The devs have a lot of power over the network! In comparison to bitcoin, the only thing a bitcoin dev can do to harm bitcoin except from abandoning the project, is to issue a false aka fake alert using the alert key! Also, even if the project fails, the devs will be rich! Remember the IPO? Also ether is official stated as 'crypto fuel' and not money. This will make it easier to evade any future accusation What do you think? Am I right? Should I feel bad I didn't invest?Ethereum going to be something very close to a corporate system. Probably some sort of sandbox for some real corporate systems. Banks and banking application developers will surely like its technology, IBM also planning to pick up at least a part of the code for making blockchain based smart connections between devices and other entities, so I think Ethereum will be a great development platform, just like the opensource Xen for Citrix. As a coin... I'm pretty sure it will survive, but probably will experience the same controversy as NXT or Ripple. |

Monero development and community are far more active. They even working on forming some sort of real world ecosystem. The distribution of XMR is also better than BCN. So at this moment XMR looks more capable than BCN.

It's time to crack down on human traffickers. However these guys seems to me too young to be the real bosses in such an enterprise. Running this kind of business needs places to shelter the migrants, food and water supplies, workplaces for the migrants, agents who are directing the migrants to these guys, so a lot of organization and widespread network of people. So I think these five people are only some small fry.

Lol... especially when Oligarchs are virtually running the country. One of the top oligarchs is Petro Poroshenko, who is the current President. There are other oligarchs, who have been appointed as the governors of various Ukrainian provinces. Rinat Akhmetov remains very powerful in the government controlled parts of the Donbass, while Ihor Kolomoyskyi is getting more and more emboldened.
As I heard owning, running and now selling the country. I guess from the beginning they are keeping an eye on Saakashvili to ensure he's not doing anything stupid, what would be damaging for the "business as usual". Actually I have no idea why they employed him at all. |

I heard some groups are already working on a fork....not much other info though  Aethereum was an idea to fork it, but it seems to be dead: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563925.0. Perhaps now, as the first more or less stable version is out they will start working on it. |

Simple ponzi scheme indeed. You can find plenty of such stuff under Gambling>Investor based games board. It might be good for a few days or few hours, but eventually you going to lose all your funds there. If you want to give try, be very very careful, keep playing only with small amounts and cash out immediately as soon as you got some coins back (or more appropriately: if you got any coins back at all).

Don't forget to make a GUI wallet when you fork it  That's the problem I guess. Most cloners here are not that good on programming, and writing a user friendly GUI from scratch could be an issue even for the more advanced cloners  . But heads up, we will see plenty of "This will surpass bitcoin, jump into the IPO for getting rich instantly" type clones in one or two months. |

The problem is anyone can make coin .....THE CRYPT O WORLD IS BASE ON TRUST WELL THESE DAYS YOU CAN'T TRUST ANYONE ANYMORE SO IM GLAD I SOLD MINE YESTERDAY ,,,,,,,, so many people will get scam we need to b regulated time has come to that ......... everyone want to get rich on other people misery and that the truth shame on you scammers and i really hate scammers cause i been scam before as many as you ......
Sorry to say mate, but you are very naive, if you seriously believe that regulations are doing anything good against scams. Regulation is institutionalizing scams and giving a share to the regulating authority. Just take a look at the 2007-2008 financial crisis. Some of the biggest well regulated banks, insurers and credit rating agencies were caught on scamming. What happened to those people who is responsible for ruining countries and million of lives, for their personal gains? Actually nothing happened to them. Same thing with rigging the libor, gold prices, and the list of manipulated financial vehicles is endless. Just like here... |

Great news ! In my opinion what's good for one altcoin that's eventually good for all, so I'm happy to see any coins to succeed, because of that's a success for the whole cryptocoin scene. I wish even more success for the Gems guys! |

Saying such things is the easy part. If he would try to do something what would be harmful for the oligarch or for their local henchman then he would be dead in days for sure. I guess this is something to boast his non existing popularity.

Wow, such low grade thinking, i didnt even think about this way. Guess i cant keep up with the lows people can go here
Of course you didn't, we all know how strongly you used to oppose all sorts of shilling  . Perhaps you want to support your claim and tell something about those "far greater number of factors". |

Apart from listing monero on the 6th instead of the 15th place, exactly what makes you think that Coingecko is more accurate? Could you tell me what are those "far greater number of factors", please?

If they wanted to they could make enough BTC from this floatation to fund dev work for 100 years. It's going in a different direction from BTC and fills a different but potentially very lucrative niche. Ether is the oil to bitcoins gold. It's fuel to power the DAPPS that live on the blockchain. Bitcoin could even be implemented as code on the Ethereum network Simply because Ethereum is a programming language that allows you to do that.
Everybody knows that technologically Ethereum will be a good coin sooner or later and we also know that it has it's market. But... at this moment it's still in development, functionally incomplete, and overpriced. NXT, or even Qora can do much more for a fragment of the price. When the hype is over we might see a realistic price, and that will be time for making a decision about investing or not. |

Generally speaking emission scheme and inflation is a similar to DOGE but it provides better services, so three or four times the DOGE price seems to me a fair pricing. I shall buy in there next month...  |

HZ lost a lot of reputation a past months away. They have to build it up again and come out with much more "innovation"
How so? I've seen people complaining about missing payments from horizonplatform, the faucet constantly dying, others had some issues with the node payments, and I guess that was enough to get the reputation of a suspected scam. You know, old stuff but very true: the secrets behind every long lasting friendships are prompt payments and accurate accounting . |

Everyone their opinion, I think Horizon has more growth potential than NXT at the moment, not saying it's better or worse as a coin.
Indeed if the the site admins on horizonplatform could manage to pull themselves together then HZ definitely would have some growth potential, mostly because of they only have to take parts of the NXT code, so no need to spend money and time on developing those elements. Anyway with time it could be an "NXTLite" if they can actively recruit new users. |

must be bagholder of these shit coins, never heard of them beside primecoin.
Ignorance is bliss indeed . To OP: All of them are relative old and established coins, but for me CBX seems to be a flawed idea and I never seen asset backed coins working really well, and XPM was a nice idea but it never gained too much traction, in addition Curecoin and Gridcoin are a better options for "computing for good" enthusiasts. IMO from your stock HZ is the only one what have the potential for gaining some momentum. If you like experimenting then you can try Qora and maybe Monero (hopefully they will be able to turn up with a useful client by 2016). As main investment option you might want to think about a mix of "2.0" coins (NXT, Ethereum, Bitshares, etc.). |
