What alt is the next best thing?

[helloeverybody]

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.

Ive held NXT for about a year now with barely a difference in price. Whats happening in the coming months that would cause a possible price increase? Also thought nxt was the same developers as waves or at least working with them or something like that?

NXT should have a big run later this year.  Quite a few good coins to choose from right now. 

[European Central Bank]

it's all shit. no one should be thinking about next best things. they should only be thinking about how much bitcoin they can extract from these things and then getting out.  

if i was to nominate a coin that worked the way i liked it's gonna be peercoin. why that isn't anywhere compared to litecoin is a bit weird. it actually has some good ideas.

The nxt devs are making a new coin called Ardor, and they are giving them all away to all nxt holders. The devs will be taking hourly snapshots of the next blockchain in the coming months, then giving free Ardor coins to all the nxt private keys that were holding nxt during a snapshot.

People won't want to sell their nxt while the snapshots are taking place, they will want to buy them.

Keep holding your nxt because you get free Ardor coins for holding them.

[ANN][ARDR][NO ICO] Ardor, or Nxt 2.0, a Scalable Child Chain Platform

...

Nxt is undergoing a dramatic evolution. Research by the Nxt team has led to Ardor, a platform that uses child chains and incorporates all of Nxt's latest blockchain innovations while being backed by the core developers of Nxt.

...

here are a few of the features coming with the new Ardor release:

1. Offering Blockchain as a Service ...

2. Manageable Blockchain Size ...

3. A Decentralized Asset Exchange ...

4. Decentralized Voting and Governance Systems ...

5. Phased Transactions ...

“Rather than providing smart contracts, NXT is focused on implementing the important use cases and functions directly into the core of both Nxt and Ardor. This approach has proven to be scalable and secure and will become more so when Ardor is released” – Riker

...

You'll be able to participate in Ardor right away. As Ardor continues testing and development, Nxt 1.9 will be released. With Nxt 1.9, you'll get your first chance to own a piece of Ardor. All those who hold an amount of NXT will also get a piece of Ardor. Snapshots will start be taken on an hourly basis, starting on July 14th to October 12th. Then, your total NXT will be averaged, and you'll receive that amount in Ardor tokens on October 12th, which will be freely tradeable up until the Ardor system launches.

At block 1,000,000 on October 12th, 2016, snapshotting will stop, and you'll be allowed to trade your Ardor tokens in NXT 1.9 in preparation for the launch of the Ardor blockchain.

I see, wel thats interesting. The little nxt i do own has been sitting on an exchange (i do realise im committing cardinal sin by doing that). So who get my ardor coins? does the exchange get them then transfer them to me or do i need to take my nxt out and then get my ardor that way?

[tuvok007]

I'd go with Lisk.Ten times up in vallue this year,mark my words!

I'm thinking 50 times. 

Also very possible,I wouldnt be surprised if we see 50 times price increase in a year.

If you want to be sure of getting your Ardor you should withdraw your nxt from your exchange and put them in your own personal nxt wallet. The Ardor get sent to the private key you control through your wallet.

The nxt devs are in talks with exchanges about giving their customers their share of Ardor, but nothing's been agreed yet. If you leave your coins on an exchange you cannot be sure you will get your Ardor for them.

I think some altcoins serve most of the same functions as bitcoin.  If I know someone can sell me a bootleg Walking Dead DVD for Dogecoin, I can send that person some dogecoin.  And since dogecoin has value, I can put my savings in it if I wanted to.  It's risky as all hell, but it could pay off in the long run.

Bitcoin was the first, and if ordinary people know anything about crypto whatsoever, they know bitcoin exists.  All the other ones?  Not at all.  So bitcoin is where it's at, and the other ones are just wannabes.

[BitcoinNewsMagazine]

You need to watch the market caps. Bitcoin is number one and Ether is number 2. The communities are very different. It makes sense that anyone holding bitcoin should also hold some ether. How much depends on market caps, if ether becomes closer to bitcoin buy more ether. The potential for future price increase for ether is greater than bitcoin, along with that I think comes more risk. But if you were risk averse you would not own bitcoin in the first place.

Which NEW thing IMPROVED on the last ?

Simple huh ?

[Dajackal]

Who cares what alt is the next big thing, I want to know what alts are going to pump. What's the next big alt pump, how can I make more btc on it. Because we all know that the one and only coin that matters is bitcoin.

Unfortunately the only people who know what coins are going to pump are the whales that pump them,  and by the time they let you know which coin it is is because they are now ready to dump all their coins on you.

Unless you're an undercover whale. 
Now that's a mind trip!
Think about it.

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.

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

Says every nonsense project about to post their ANN.

Nonsense?

Then it's not a darkhorse. 

Seems to meet the definition:

    a candidate or competitor about whom little is known but who unexpectedly wins or succeeds.
    "a dark-horse candidate"

A candidate or competitor by definition actually exist and are usually darkened on purpose.  You cannot have a darkhorse which hasn't been born yet.  That was my point.  For one of the smartest guys in crypto you say silly things MINTguy.  And you really love to argue too.  I'm gonna be sick, sounds like I'm talking about myself.

Does vaporware exist even though the ICO is underway, e.g. WAVES, Ethereum, etc.. when they were launched.

It is difficult to define the demarcation between "exist" and "talk" in Bitcointalk.

Darkened on purpose is usually to do a deceptive manipulation, such as an instamine, stealthmine, etc..

[SolomonRising]

That's some fine lawyer-speak right there.  It's a yes and no answer which can be debated for hours with no real winner.  So I say you make a valid point. 

Ok, imaginary non-launched coins exist without actually existing, and they may even take over the planet.  This Vitalik guy is like anti matter at this point, he's gonna destroy our new world with his Vapor. 

[lightyard12]

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.

I really don't think that Litecoin is the next best thing to come after the two mentioned alts(Dao and Eth) above since Litecoin came before them.

[I am the guy]

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?

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

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1504342.0

I second that also. Vcash has all the fundamentals covered with seasoned developers.
