more solid than litecoin... bitcoin.... and?!?!?
Doge?!!? Dash (Dark)?!? Devcoin!?!?
No, if there is a "your brand new worldshocking crapcoin" coming out you could mine/faucet some of that while it's low, and hold them untill there is something happening with the value. Once it picks up as a coin it will probably go up in value (from 1 satoshi to 100 maybe), then you convert those coins into something more solid. Depending on your taste that could be Dash, Doge, Bitcoin, Litecoin, anything really.
Even if it's a pump and dump, you could start selling off your coins while it's going up, taking profit.
