What alt is the next best thing?

[helloeverybody]

Now that the dao and ethereum have taken a serious knockback after what looked like almost a crypto takeover who do you all think the new kid on the block is going to be? Whos mining what and what coin do you see as having the biggest potential?


It seems to me that for now the only coin worth having is bitcoin, Any other coins out there that aren't shitcoins?

[PeRo]

To be honest, I believe only in Bitcoin and maybe Litecoin. Litecoin has a stable and good price, it is not a dump coin and it wont pump or dump any time soon. Those two are pretty much the only good coins around here.
Ethereum is just a pump and dump coin, no one should use it.

[helloeverybody]

I dont know if i would buy litecoin to be honest, I thought it was kind of dead as well due to it not really being needed because of bitcoin. I know you could argue it the other way round since it came after bitcoin.

I just thought maybe theres a darkhorse out their that hasnt been given enough hype for people to buy into, kind of like ethereum before it kicked off. I had ample oportunitys to buy into it at really low prices but never bit, maybe the altcoin world is just going a bit stagnant for now.

There is, but it hasn't launched yet. The name isn't even public yet.

LiteCoin is one of the best alternatives, but to be honest all the alternative cryptocurrencies are dead compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the only legit cryptocurrency (with SOME alternatives such as LTC , PeerCoin perhaps, because they are stable and have decent prices for an altcoin).

Take a look at Vcash XVC.
A lot of new features and inovative tech to make it the first perfect crypto to be used as means of payment

Some system that is secure, but also has new elements to it. One that can beat Bitcoin. Which honestly shouldn't be that hard, because the Bitcoin project doesn't address any of the major issues: scalability, quite restricted contract system, some governance issues. If you look at failed projects like Sidechains and Lightning, then you'll see why Bitcoin will lose in the longterm. Its mostly now a project of a few crypto and opensource enthusiasts, who are not particularly interested or concerned with functionality, ease of use, widespread adoption, and don't think much about the economic primitives. If a currency can go from 70M$ to 1B$ in a few months, the network effect is in fact not that great as expected. Yes, most likely Bitcoin's market share will steadily decline. I'm not aware of any interesting release in the last 12-24 months. As for high quality release a better platform could help, filtering some spam. With that platform you are less likely to miss out on the next big thing.

Then it's not a darkhorse.

Think of it this way...  There's only BTC, and the rest are like commodities or stocks that you trade in and out of to gain profit in BTC.  And it's more practical that way as BTC is the most accepted cryptocurrency by merchants and the most accepted to exchange for fiat.

I see some people mentioned LTC.  Litecoin to me is a safe haven coin in case something really bad happens with BTC where it's really needed to hold something else.  But that's just me.

After ethereum for the next time is ripple because ripple has fungtion in the real life we can send money to people from another countries with low fees. I think it is more good than another coins and ripple has hight volume too.

There is no next big thing, the question already is the wrong one

There is a big thing and we're all part of it whether we want it or not

There is a new coin called Ardor coming out coded by the Nxt developers. It's got what they call child chains that make its blockchain small. It's not mine-able, there's no ICO, you can only get it by holding Nxt between mid-July and mid-October. The Nxt developers will do hourly snapshots of the Nxt blockchain for those three months, then when Ardor starts whatever private keys were holding Nxt get Ardor.

The DAO locked up so many Ethereum that it pumped its price. Similarly, the Nxt/Ardor snapshots will lock up so many Nxt that it might pump Nxt's price for three months. Nxt and Ardor could be the next best thing.

Etherium and DAO get them the normal situation for now but I'm interested with EDRC coin, the value is better than Waves or LSK well I think this coin have a good future.

BitBay and Qora are two legitimate projects and both have market caps under $1 mil.  Definitely good to have in the short/medium term, unclear if they will see more long term success though.

Nxt will be the next big thing over the next 3 months or so. If you hold it in that time you get free Ardor coin.

What about ShitCoin (SHT) I hear that's gonna blow up, can I get some free SHT?  I'm all in.
