I have a theory.  That alt coins fore tell the future of bitcoin and now ETH.
Look at the ones that where launched in 2013-early2014. (must be at least ranked in the top100)
Almost everyone had a bubble up boom ... a long valley of despair ... and are now slowly but surely working back up in Market Cap.
Will they hit their peaks, maybe but not likely for a few more years.  But they are in the lows and will see highs.  Better returns than BTC if that helps.

The point is they have gone thru a half dozen market cycles.  And are 2-5 skips ahead of the BTC market cycle.  ETH, lolz.  Is just at the year 2013 bubble pop of BTC.  And doomed to test sub $1 supports. 

You want invest-able, the numbers are out there, stick with older alts that have survived.  Look at their charts.
And avoid high inflation
  

Will Vitalik flee the country after the Eth scheme implodes?

ETH GETTING DUMPED HARD!!!!

Nice to hear there is something happening with Litecoin although I have only heard it here, I will need to look around and find out more information.

Stealth feature though? is there a massive need for this add-on as this was a huge selling point for the hundred altcoins we have seen over the last year or so, if it has a real purpose then great but if it is just going to be added on for the sake of saying "we are now stealth" then it would do more damage perhaps.

You can launch your own currency on NXT.

They have a 'Monetary System' that allows you to define all the parameters you want for your coin and then simply click launch.

You won't have to bother about having your coin secured against 51% attack as NXT does that for you.

I think it costs 1000 NXT, which is $7 or so.


NXT 2.0 is also in the works which will allow you to not need NXT coin anymore as currently on the Monetary System you need to send your coin but also nxt coin to the people as they need it to pay for every transaction.

However with NXT 2.0 your coinholders will be able to pay transaction fees also in your own coin. You will also be able to fork NXT and not just have your own coin, but also your own alias system, or market place, or asset exchange, or voting system, etc.

Wew... I'm glad you're not leaving on my account... That's a relief.

Another reason I am leaving this forum, is I realized the average IQ here is far too low. And I am doing myself a disservice (stunting my own intellectual growth) by not being challenged by people who are smarter than me. I am wasting my time by choosing to post in a forum where the IQs are so low.

Until a better system of distribution comes along i will stick with POW or even POS maybe.
I don't jump on board with Angel Investing or Crowd funding IPO / ICO etc bullshit
simply because we did not make a better alternative method yet.

IPO shit was born out of the need for dev's to continue flogging THOUSANDS of news shit coins non stop.

It was taking the easy scammy way out.
And users who are only interested in profit from any coin (even if obviously scammy) are fine with it.
just so long as they make money off them.

THIS IS WRONG !

This rapes the spirit of true Altcoin dev's.
I enjoy the technical aspects of crypto but am not the smartest at that stuff
I want to see it go forward and not actually die off.

It just seems you all agreed to go along with IPO's because well there wasn't a better and as fast method of
pumping out endless coins to make money from.

It defeats the entire point LOL

The point of an altcoin is to one up Bitcoin and improve it.
Not establish a money making pyramid scheme from it that is distributed in an even worse way than BTC was !

Altcoins are suppose to be better than bitcoin.. NOT worse !

Many of you lost the point of it all.

And what i want to see is dev's find an improved method of distribution over BTC's
But instead they stopped working on that key aspect of ALT's and focused entirely
on misc other gimmicks or un-needed features like Anon features, Markets etc

I have heard all the retorts on this issue such as Mining can be exploited for example..
Well, IPO launched coins are even more vulnerable to Exploitation so that doesn't improve anything does it ?
It's a step in reverse code wise !

I think you missed the point. The users here want to get rich quick on technology they can't possibly understand nor discern. That is what they want.

they raised $18 million and spent it.

they ran out of funds and started pumping the stock price in order to raise more funds
