That is a Chinese way

why? because you're invested in both?

Not, if you're sure about Litecoin as you claim to be.

I corrected myself that July is the soonest I expect it, but I wouldn't bet on it. I would bet on "before end of 2014". If you're sure Litecoin is going to stay ahead of Dogecoin and Dogecoin will just die, it should be ok with you. That is, before January 1, 2015.

And sorry, I don't take Litecoins, as I don't expect them to cost much in 6 months, let's do 1 BTC as the common denominator.

for whom?

1) Sure, escrow or just bet and hope we stand by our word? how much?

2) And July is the soonest I expect it, but I wouldn't bet on that. But somewhere before end of 2014 - that's for sure. If you're ok with the bet being before end of 2014?

Coinbase is more likely to add NXT next why would they want to add a loser whose market cap is falling. Coinbase has a money transmitter license in US, they understand they need to gain a large market share of NXT before someone else does.

Exactly, you see that slide in Litecoin's hashrate in the past week. When Litecoin goes to 0.01 as its trend clearly indicates and Dogecoin keeps slowly rising due to less coins hitting the market because of smaller rewards, the hashrates will meet each other (some time in July), and then separate again, but this time Dogecoin's would be at the top.

A coin - no.
Dogecoin - yes.

Rest assured, since school I've learned a thing or two on how economy works in real life, not in books.

It is not a scam, it's just a copy-cat. Some copy-cats can be successful, I actually think Dogecoin will outrun Litecoin, because it brings something new compared to Bitcoin.

Dogecoin has a small technical innovation in the code that changes economic perception of the currency (large coin base and small infinite inflation allows for easier spending and faster circulation = adoption) + fun meme appealing to teens who are most active in the social networks = marketing.

Litecoin doesn't change economic parameters or perception compared to Bitcoin, thus Litecoin becomes redundant.

There are other potentially successful copy-cats, like Myriadcoin, because it also brings some innovation in the aspect of network security and resistance to 51% attacks.

The best place to ask is nxtforum.org as all the devs have moved there now.
I am not technical enough to explain. Likewise, I am not technical enough to explain how Bitcoin works exactly. The point for a user is, both Bitcoin and NXT solve the consensus issue, except in NXT you can't easily buy 51% of the mining power.

What do you think will happen when Litecoin keeps holding ground against fiat at the $10-11 range and other 1-2-3 alts will keep rising against fiat? Many people are into cryptos not just to keep their fiat in, but for profit. Where is the profit if an alt is selling at the same fiat price for a long time?

Yeah, it took about a week to go thru the 100k LTC buy wall, 2k LTC will take a few hours. It's all a slow free fall from here to 0.01, there it can stay for while. LTC had its glory days, but not these days for sure.

Yeah, but ltc/btc keeps going down steadily and surely, which means all those daily 28 800 mined litecoins are being dumped on suckers, who keep buying in hopes it will resurrect. But it's not 2013 now, a lot more interesting coins are here and capital has been flowing into those. Old hopes are hard to throw away, but at some point people would have to cut their losses and move on.

If you choose which scrypt coin to invest in, I'd pick Dogecoin. Technology is the same, but Dogecoin's community can make things happen as the history shows. However, both Litecoin and Dogecoin would make you worry about 51%-attack all the time just like Bitcoin, which isn't very good for your health. Choose healthy coins, like NXT

Ok, if the issue was solved, that's fine, I actually liked XCP when I used it in its early stages, although it was quite buggy then, until NXT AE came along. XCP can survive, at least as long as Bitcoin survives, but you always have to worry about 51% attacks and such. With NXT you just don't have those worries and time between blocks is much shorter, so trading is closer to centralized exchange speed of trading.

FIAT->BTC->NXT->Asset will soon be shortned to FIAT->NXT->Asset, as there are fiat gateways under way, that's just a matter of time.

You should try both XCP and NXT AE to see the difference in speed. XCP developers also had an issue with the Bitcoin developers after the latter changed something in the Bitcoin protocol which prevented XCP developers from doing some features or somehow limited their options, not sure about the details, but the point is, any DEX riding on top of Bitcoin network will always depend on good will of Bitcoin developers, and that doesn't inspire confidence in investors' minds. Oh, and did I mention that order execution is slow?

Bitcoin does only one function.
XCP does another function.

NXT does both of those + 2 more, and adding a few more in the nearest future.

Yeah, it's even more hilarious because he didn't even see NEM software, we don't even know it exists at all, all there is is a couple of screenshots that any half decent designer could photoshop in 1 hour
