So what was the initial intention to imitate the altcoin hater at first place?
I'm not an altcoin hater. Have a look at my site
http://alt19.comI was probably the first who has started calculating Altcoin Indices in 2013.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1089664 here is an example how knowing altcoin market trend can help trading LTC.
But sometimes I really need thinking like altcoin haters to understand them and to investigate if they're right or not, or if they are right to degree.
That site looks interesting. But i think graphics represent the value over time in a better way (Higher data desity=more resoloution).
What i realy miss you could do is, make correlation graphics.
To this date nobody did make it. But correlation between coins exist, and the graphical exploration could be valuable.
You already used it some sort with your Altcoin idex VS Lite coin. But interesting would be all coins VS Bitcoin.
I recognised for example MEC and WDC have a relative high correlation with BTC.
From 55 Coins in late 2013 only ~27 are still somehow interesting and i call only 10 of them really interesting (for investing).
Would be really interesting to hear which coins from 27 you find valuable.
I see that Doge has a good potential, but it has one big disadvantage: it's fun so not completely good for wide adoption.
People see money as a serious thing usually. So just imagine that somebody says to his friends or business partners 'I've invested my money in Dogecoin', sounds as a joke to people who haven't heard of it before. But Doge is even more popular now than Lite.
At the moment i am not done with my research because i have to dedicate alot of time to forex atm.
So i cant name you a full list, only some i am sure.
Keep in mind, that i name coins in terms of potential for trading.
Also you need to consider to get a good entry price.
Also think of scaling in and splitting your capital to several coins (not too much)
1.One of the most interesting is IFC(Infinitecoins) because it showed and still does, no correlation to BTC.(exept 2013 peak)
This is very good because, a low correlation is needed to spread the risk.
It makes no sense to invest in 5-10 coins with all go 85-95% in harmony with BTC.
Since it has rise in the past 10x, and fallen now, a good entry is around 0,00000350
Lowest significant low is about 0,00000170 - 0,00000200
Target around last high 0,000029500 (800-1000%)
2.ZET (Zetacoins)
These have shown multiple times to be able to produce peaks. This is a good sign of interest of traders.
Also the entry seems to have a low risk.
It seem that the reasonable low is 0,00001000 - 00001500
Lowest significant low is about 0,00000500
Target around 0,00025500 (2000-2200%)
3.VTC Vertcoins
Spiked recently to 0.0024900 and fall back again to 0.00036000
I entered at 0.00036500
It seem that the low is ~0,00003000
So keep in mind is possible to that low again, i would suggest to buy only 1/3 at 0,00036000
if it drops further split your orders form 0,00036000 - 0,00003000
Overall this trade has a good potential to gain 680%
4.Anoncoin
This is still a good bet
entry between 0.00075000 - 0.00051000
Lowest significant low is 0,00026000
Target is 0,09950000(1300-2000%)
5.Litecoin offcourse,
I got that 0.0061000 entry
Scaling in was/is possible at 0,0121000 and 0,0151000 (1/3 - 1/4)
Targets are 0,0499000 + 0,0598000 + 0,0689000 (at least 800%)
Also keep in mind when Bitcoin goes to 1000usd again and it will sooner or later,
you can mulptiply the % i had written x4.
Dogecoin? dont underestimate the Socialmedia masses, they can be a factor.
Back in 1619 in Europe there the masses traded tulips ;-)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_maniaFor dogecoin i must say in fundamental its good, but i dont by it.
The reason is i only by when i get a good entry price and the coin shows potential to gain more than my risk is as a compensation,
because the goal is to make profit.
If they keep on developing and affiliate Dogcoin with a bob team and stockcarracers,
it has some sort of good PR.
The majority of people don't invest, they consume.
So Doge can be succsessfull if the masses buy instead of investors.
Same is with NXT. There are a lot of coins i think have good ideas. But everyone should decide for himself.
----
Please Look to the Charts for yourself to check if you can agree.
One important thing is, if Bitcoin peaks again (1000-1600 or more), and the Target dont get hit on the second day i would suggest,
to take partial profits and set sell trigers in the case bitcoin drops a gain.
