LTC and DOGE will be moving up. Also long term i think collectors of blockchain currencies will move in and grab some of the early wave 1 alts.
I always hold some BTC some LTC and a little bit of a lot of the old major alts.
Is there a high volume DOGE/USD market that we should know about? I'm curious what the chart would look like. It could be trending up vs fiat I'd imagine.

Hello, since it seems bitcoin is going through a nice upsurge atm, what altcoin is a good buy right now ?
I'm new to trading and still have a way to go understanding it all, but I heard that altcoins generally rise when BTC rises. I got some extra BTC I could invest in an altcoin atm. Maybe litecoin?
Thnx
LTC if you make it. NXT if you don't. LTC is more likely to follow BTC's surge if it continues to go up to 1000 USD Karpeles style. Avoid NXT. It's trending down to who knows how low.

nxt seems pretty darn cheap at these prices. i guess it isnt rising to the top this year. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Personally, I think the falling price is a good thing for NXT overall. It would even be better if it falls further close to or slightly lower than the IPO price with the hope that the huge stake holders cash out some of their holdings, spreading the coins out even further. From there, the price could start picking up again with better distribution. And it would become a more attractive buy for potential investors.

What do you think guys - Which Altcoin will be pulled by Bitcoin as the first?
Honestly? I think it's LTC. It has good volume, and China holds a shitton. China loves pumping BTC. Who knows... Maybe LTC is next. Edit: And by pump, I mean the kind that reaches double/triple digits. And keep in mind the markets to watch out for when an LTC pump comes are LTC/USD and LTC/CNY, not LTC/BTC. LTC usually cannot keep up with BTC's rise in fiat value.

Right now? If you have BTC, hold it and see where this run up goes.

"Four Horsemen" of the Crypto Apocalypse. Which one is he: Conquest, War, Famine, or Death? LOL! In all seriousness, I was just wondering because the recent dump is exceptionally high.

Or it could probably be Willy. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Nice pump. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) And it's gone. Seriously? That quick?
|
|
|
all coins are able to decentralized mining, they call it solo mining,
Exactly.

|
|
Nice pump. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

How can a mining pool be decentralized? Isn't the purpose of a pool is to pool resources together thereby, to a point, 'centralizing' mining?
I haven't read the article yet.

What's the daily volume though?

Apples and oranges... But who knows, that argument could hold some validity.

|

He's doing a public service. I may not always agree with him, but it's good that he's around keeping everyone grounded from all the hype.
|
|
|
No. But if I were creating a project, I'd hire you as a consultant.
|
|
|
I think it could be a good time to start looking for shorting opportunities soon. The thing to look out for is the fade in volume. So far volume is still ok...

pretty unbelieveable run going right now. Does anyone have any real tanglble reason for the increase?
I would say the weakening yen is mostly to blame. China's economy is on pretty shaky grounds. The increase in the US dollar is also hurting China's exports, It's like a perfect storm to drive Bitcoins price to the moon as they say. And the European Court ruling that cryptocurrency is a real valid currency is just more fuel in the tank. Or it's probably Karpeles. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Or Cyprus again. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) It usually does.
