I have often heard the accusation that a coin has made a deal with professional FUDders to destroy a competing coins reputation by spreading FUD here on BCT and on Twitter.

Do you believe that this actually happens? And if you do, is there any hard evidence that it's happening, or do you just have a gut feeling that it's happening? Also, do you think that this type of activity has any significant effect?

The alt threads are full of people looking for the next Bitcoin and developers trying to create the next bitcoin. Why are so many people looking for the next Bitcoin? What's wrong with the one we have now?

As I was reading through some of the ANN threads, I noticed a common complaint. A lot of people feel that their favorite coin is undervalued compared to other coins. Is your favorite coin ( altcoin, Bitcoin, wooden nickels, etc... ) undervalued? If so, what makes you feel that way?

Why do people in the altcoin community take their investments so personally? If someone goes to the ANN thread of almost any coin and asks an honest question that may not make the coin look good, people become hostile. If they go to that thread and express an opposing opinion, they are treated like the Devil himself.

I've never seen such nonsense with any other investment. Most GM stock holders couldn't care less whether I like GM or not. So why are so many altcoin investors so childlike in that regard? What do you think?

It seems as though everybody has an opinion on how to make money in crypto and most are willing to share that opinion. What is the worst advice that you've heard on BCT on how to make a profit in altcoins?

Why are innovative coins with active developers doing so poorly. I'm sure that there are some exceptions, but it seems that the good coins and the cut-and-paste coins are doing equally poorly. If this is true, what does it take to be a successful coin? Any insight you might have is appreciated.
