To be clear up front: I have shares in the development of Gulden & I own a pretty large sum of Guldens. Alright having said that let's continue;
(I'm aware I don't have a lot of posts; No I did not register just to post on this topic but it did trigger me to post for the first(?) time. I'm more a reader than writer on forum boards.

1. I think that the answers given by hermanhs09 are very harsh, un-nuanced and shows that he's not informed well about Gulden + I sense a negative sentiment against altcoins (or Gulden in specific)?Probably not a good investment. This is an opinion which I would ask you to back up with data as it says nothing and doesn't supply any info relevant for the OP.
Seriously, gulden is relatively unheard of in the general bitcoin world and isn't that popular. This would count for most altcoins + what do you expect from a project of this scale at this time? Time will tell.
Without a demand for this coin, there obviously wouldn't be a very bullish market. Demand will grow as the apps get better, the community is working hard to expand the user base, people are working on projects attached to the Gulden blockchain etc. etc. There is a healthy user base already.
I don't think either of us have a crystal ball to see the future; Everything is relative and obviously people have the right to their opinion but if you are negative about something at least follow up with facts rather then sentiments so that the OP can actually make a clear assessment rather then this "everything other then BTC sucks" mentality which I see too often.
Besides, we don't really need it when we already have other altcoins, and especially bitcoin itself. So there is really no point for gulden to grow in the future.If the current altcoins would actually release technology attached to their blockchain, actually released what they promised etc. I would concur though this is far from the truth with most Altcoins. One thing is for sure; The Gulden developers promise but also deliver and it just works. Using your logic Apple would have never released the iPod as there were already MP3 players in the market.... C'mon get real
Long story short: I'm not here to change your mind (hermanshs09) but I at least hope that my response to yours gives you something to think about and that you could be a bit more nuanced in the future.
2. I believe that the best reply given to the OP is actually done by glerant. Unbiased, honest & a good answer which looks at the pro's and cons.Looking at the risks I have assessed less risk with Gulden vs ETH / ETC / LTC etc.. I mostly base this around almost instant NLG -> EUR (IBAN via nocks.co) or BTC so you are very much in control of your Guldens and can exchange very rapidly. Secondly I have taken a look (and asked a WHOLE lot of questions) regarding the blockchain technology, the future plans, the developers (very skilled) and if they deliver on time (yes they do). The last part is that the community is great and very open to newcomers; Always willing to share information or discuss. It feels very welcoming always
Your comment about the pre-mine is very factual. They spend it on the community, community projects and anything else that can help Gulden forward. No sleazy things happening with the pre-mine at Gulden.
------
I just wanted to put this out there and everyone can feel or say how they think about things (which is totally fine).
If the OP has any questions I welcome you to the Gulden Slack where you can talk to everyone from the Gulden team and it's community directly if you have more questions.Greetings,
Remco
