man dont talk such rubbish, you must not have no patience lol
if you knew anything about trading and a strong coin you would be buying cann.

Dude, What's not to understand? D9 made 2000 BTC on the last pump n dump. Now he has bought all his coins back at 95% off, so only 100 BTC to get them all back. D9 is back on bitcointalk. D9 is trying to pump n dump the shit out of this coin again on 420! DUH. It looks like it's going to work out well for anyone who was accumulating CANN at 1000 over the past months.

In Japanese, Nakamoto means ‘central origin’, while Satoshi means ‘clear thinking, quick witted, wise’ i.e intelligent. The name can therefore be translated to mean ‘Central Intelligent’.

A neutral one would mean there is no ruling on it and that dispensaries could accept crypto currency as payment.

My theory: Satoshi is among us. He's running some kind of bitcoin business e.g. exchange.
I often see questions asking why Satoshi didn't spend his bitcoins.
This is perfect explanation: he didn't, because he's profiting from the fact these bitcoins remain unspend.
What do you think?

Yeah I know people start these threads to pump their coin and yeah I do own some. But I get a feeling that NXT is about to make a moon shot. I absolutely could be wrong but its a vibe i'm getting. I think maybe people are tired of the shitcoin clones, tired of the NXT clones and wanting to get into something that is more stable and long term. Of course the asset exchange is also a factor. I think some people who are new and haven't heard the negativity about the distribution are just seeing NXT for what it is ie a highly innovative system that is at the moment unchallenged.


I personally believe it should be worth many times what it is now but I'm saying this cause my spidey senses are its gonna rocket and once it does it wont come down easily. Many times before I got this vibe before a spike up and I was right, so lets see here...

So I've narrowed down the infinite list of coins to just these: BTC, DOGE, LTC, DRK, PPC, XRP, NXT, NMC, XMR as "probably not a scamcoin and possibly not a waste of your time". Now, I'd like to figure out the value proposition of each coin. I don't know much about altcoins -- please comment below with the pros and cons of each of these coins. (Date: 2015-01-28.)

BTC. No explanation needed. The first. With the bulk of the market cap. (85%? That's actually lower than I thought it was!)

DOGE.
- Great community. Is that worth anything? Any software they produce can be changed to use BTC.
- Technologically, it's just a clone, meaning it's worthless.
- Has the second highest volume after BTC, making it easy to trade. Maybe people who want to stay in crypto but want to get out of BTC get into DOGE? As pegged crypto (like bitUSD) spreads, this advantage of DOGE will diminish.

LTC.
- Worthless clone.
- Used to have second highest volume. (See DOGE, above.) Now, even that tiny advantage is gone.
- Dead?

DRK.
- OK, now we're getting to something different. Completely anonymous, untracable transactions. This is worth a lot. This is what people think bitcoin has but it doesn't. If bitcoin had this, it would be worth a lot more.
- How well does the anonymous transaction thing actually work? I'd love to hear people's experiences with using Darkcoin.
- Broken architecture?

PPC.
- The first Proof of Stake coin. First mover advantage. Most liquid PoS coin.
- What are your experiences with PPC? Does the wallet have to be open to mine?
- There are now other PoS coins. And there's an improvement on PoS - DPoS. I feel like if PoS will succeed, it will move in the direction of DPoS, meaning bitshares.

XRP.
- Ripple is a completely different approach to crypto than bitcoin.
- Frankly, I don't understand enough about it. Please educate me. Premining, centralization (how much centralization is there?) seem like big turnoffs. Yet, it's somehow got the second highest market cap and it's done pretty well versus BTC.

NXT.
- First(?) "bitcoin 2.0". Most liquid 2.0 coin. First mover advantage.
- PoS, wallet must be unlocked to mine?
- I'd love to hear people's experiences with this.
- How does it stack up against other 2.0 coins?
- People say good things about it.

NMC.
- Namecoin - oldie but goodie. Very innovative for its time.
- I can't believe it is still around. Does anyone actually use ".bit" domains? Is there other data stored in namecoin?
- How many domain registrations are needed to increase the price by some amount?

XMR.
- Anonymity. Does it work? What are your experiences with it?
- We already have Darkcoin, with 10x the volume.
- If Darkcoin is actually broken, then this is the anonymous coin winner.

Honorable mention (BTS).
- A few times while writing this, I was thinking that Bitshares does the same thing only better. BTS is not on my list because its volume is tiny. What do you think about BTS? Pros and cons? Is liquidity an issue? How do you trade a coin with $5k volume?
- Apparently, BTS/CNY has the volume. I was only looking at BTS/BTC before.
- Great 2.0 coin.
- Love the DPoS idea.
- If the pegged assets work, that will add value to BTS (and remove value from something like DOGE).
- Don't know much more about it. Please educate me.

Based on this quick and preliminary review, here are my conclusions. Again, please comment with pros and cons of each coin. I'm sure I missed something.

Value.
- Bitcoin
- Darkcoin or Monero?
- Bitshares?

Possible value.
- Peercoin
- Ripple
- Nxt
- Namecoin

No value.
- Dogecoin
- Litecoin

If you want to be able to use it for day to day purchases you need really fast confirmation times otherwise you will have to go through a centralised service like BitPay.

I would say the new DPOS blockchains will offer the fastest reliable confirmations. (The first one BitShares X will offer BitAsset trading, BitUSD, BitGold etc. & you need fast confirmation times to be able to trade.)
