very interesting thread, first of all.
I still like Peercoin and I still think PoS coins can be good if well developed.
I used to like NXT but now it seems not so healthy: NXT markets were a plus.
I agree with who says that ETH is too sophisticated: maybe we still don't realize its true potential. Anyway, I think BTC rules the game and will continue to do so.
I don't like POS for one reason alone, and that is that the cold wallets of the exchanges are staking huge numbers of coins and they end up dumping them on the people who deposited the coins. I personally think there isn't a coin that can compete with Bitcoin in ANY way. Other coins might have better features and faster confirmation times, but still, Bitcoin is the all time nr1. |

So we should not put too much PoS coins in the exchanges. After we buy it, we should withdraw it to our own wallet. |

Bitcoin always have competition, but it some points Bitcoin is yeaser way to invest or sold high price. Biggest competitors are Litecoin or Dogecoin.
Biggest competitors were litcoin or Dogecoin. But not any more. These two are just clones of Bitcoin. The new biggest competitor is Ethereum. Ethereum fligtht from 0,90$ to 3,61$ at some days, it's very good  |

I've thought about it when it was at around $2 but it didn't burst and did the opposite. Now, it's hard to buy in due to the bigger possibility of a dump. Wondering though if that'll actually happen within the next few days or so. |

Bitcoin is the cryptcurrency that has evolved first and still growing. Following this based on bitcoins technology other alternative currencies came into existence and now trying to overcome bitcoin which is the master of crypts, that is not possible anytime

Wondering though if that'll actually happen within the next few days or so. If we keep on calling it a bubble, it will burst one day. I sold some at $1.5 and sold most at $2.5. Now it is higher. |

The litecoin and Dogecoin are not major competition to bitcoin. They are just the clones, not much value in them. |

Only new coins with general or specific application where bitcoin cannot compete will be successfully. |

These coins are just clones of bitcoin, there is no other innovation. If I have bitcoin, I do not need those coins. |

That is the main reason I mine altcoin. That is my way to earn bitcoin. I sell those altcoin to buy bitcoin. |

I will not risk to talk about a specific coin alternative, but I think POS as a concept is here to stay. Mining is more and more centraliced everyday, and people want the thrill of generating new coins. Bitcoin will stand and some POS alternatives will be there too.

Ethereum is PoW at the moment. It is the second largest digital coin. It will become PoS in 10 months time. It will be the largest PoS. |

All the altcoins were in competition with the bitcoin. Bitcoin is the leader for such a technology. Even without altcoins bitcoin would never reached this position within a very short term of seven years.

I doubt that it will reach its peak at 7 years,its good to have competitors as its strives developer to work more and more to make bitcoin better. Ideas coming from alts i a good thing which we can implement in bitcoin for the near future. |

Ideas coming from alts i a good thing which we can implement in bitcoin for the near future. not that good to have many competitors, because the money will flow away from bitcoin to those shitcoin, and diluite the market, and thus making bitcoin less valuable, or less inclined to be valuable in the short term at least |
