Altcoins

[boodle]

I'm still interested in Altcoins because they are interesting to hold as a short term investment. Many people live off alt coin day trading as well. It's good to get involved with the altcoin community.

Well said.

The altcoin community is only growing and now is the time for anyone to do interesting things.

Has anyone is still interested in Altcoins? Why?

It will take time for the World to transition to digital currency; but it will happen.

As society evolves, the people will no longer settle for centrally controlled fiat. Thus, many of the altcoins today will become the money of the future. I think that serious investors are placing their bets on which of these currencies will survive, and ultimately thrive, in this approaching paradigm shift.

seems like the trend now is for electrum wallets. you can tell how "serious" the coin is by how quick it gets an electrum wallet.

Some altcoins provides different function to bitcoin. Dash has Master nodes to do the mixing, to provide anonymity. Monero has built in protocol to do mixing.

Yes I am interested, but not maybe as much as in close past, but still follow most interesting ones and have investments on some of them and actually use some coins like NXT in their asset exchange.

Why? Firstly because Bitcoin cant do all things what some other coins can do. Second for a change and third (partial joke) because bitcoins are expensive and there is limited amount of them.

Altcoin is easy to mine. Some times you can solo mine an altcoin. But there are too many scams, you have to choose the right coin.

Yes I still have a big interest in altcoins. Lot's of interesting technology being built.
There is also big opportunity for making huge profits, as long as you can see through the scams.

Also well said. Great summary from an early altcoin creator!

Considering Bitcoin literally just did a soft fork a day or two ago to implement CheckLockTimeVerify, which happens to be a technology from an altcoin, I think it's safe to say that yes, people are still interested in altcoins.

They provide interesting exchange trading opportunities and are a place to try new ideas.

The technology in altcon is developed fast than that in bitcoin. Bitcoin can borrow from the altcoin. It can learn from other coins.

Because you can earn much money from alctoins.. Trade or mine as long as you done in the right way, that's why there are still many people interesting in altcoins.

The trading is difficult for most people, as they do not have the skills. Mining is also difficult for most of us.

Such experiment. So drama.

When the people of this planet wake up to the Ponzi scheme that's been perpetrated upon them by the central banks for decades, they won't want US Dollars, Euros, or Yen. The people will demand digital currencies like Bitcoin and Goldcoin.

The chances that Bitcoin and its offshoots (altcoins) disappears and becomes worthless is zero. As you learn more about decentralized currencies, you will come to understand why this is true. You are in the right place, at the right time.

The people of this community are intelligent, ready, and able, to become the pioneers in the liberation of mankind.

You said "trade or mine as long as you do it the right way". But for most people, they cannot do it in the right way. They are just scammed.
