There isn't a super long term plan of many years to be had with any coin aside from Bitcoin so everyone is a medium to short term investor by default. To invest your life savings into bitcoins let alone any altcoin is incredibly risky; I'm not a financial advisor but my 2 cents would be not to do it. There is no coin in the crypto coin world today that is a long term investment of many years in my opinion.

I don't see changing the coins fundamentals as a bad thing. I actually see it as a good thing. It's show me and fellow investors that the developers are willing to keep up with the dynamic and constantly evolving technological world that we live in.

I have said my piece, I hope the developers/promoters know what they're doing, however no one can really _know_ what they're doing, they can just hope their chosen path is the right one.

Lifeforce will still support EMC2 whatever the outcome.

Markets are made up of speculators.

If the majority of the market think that scrypt coins are on the way out, and other algorithm-type coins are a more healthier investment, prices for scrypt coins will fall and prices for other algorithms will rise or at least hold their values a lot longer.

Other algorithms are not just different in name, they are not all a gimmick. You do have certain benefits i.e...more secure, less power consumption etc which do make them more appealing to mine and to invest.

I implore you, not as a miner but as your biggest pool operator, to implement an algorithmic change to keep up with the changing crypto-currency landscape.

Remember, speculators make up the value of the coin, you might have a fantastic brilliant idea (which you do) but that will not be enough to maintain this coin.

You may think that doing nothing is the best course of action, but in dynamic market, sitting still might be the absolute worst thing you can do.

Anyone looking into any altcoin accepting websites taking emc2 as a form of currency? That would surely be big news, if you guys can manage that.
