Next big thing?

[ciappa]

What do we really need from an altcoins, what is the next big thing?

We have anoncoin, platforms for trading and smart contracts, tokens..

Where are we heading?

Bitcoin was something completely new, can we expect another one?

You should know that alt coins are used mostly to make more bitcoins rather than to be taken seriously. Though there are some coins who are much good and has a potential though bitcoin would stay as the major cryptocurrency than any other. Bitcoin is known as the king of all cryptocurrencies after all.   

IMHO Ethereum has done very well against bitcoin, and it will not take many time until ethereum will overtake the King  
But there are other coins, which should be in every portfolio.. XRP, XEM, ETC, ... and there are some coins with very very good growth campanches, like MNE, QTUM, ...
and finally, there are coming some very interesting ICO, like radix, tezos and maybe Ignis

hope this is useful for someone

When bitcoin arose in Satoshi's mind, the impact it caused was so great that it has come to revolutionize the economy of the world because of how innovative it was to be the blockchain technology. Apparently no one expected that such a brilliant idea would emerge suddenly, so I am also convinced that somewhere in the world, in the secrecy and discretion of a genius or group of geniuses, surely an idea will be cooking even more disruptive that perhaps at this moment we can not imagine.

I am sure that quantum computing will have much to contribute to this fascinating world of alternate economy, as technology is always advancing every day and I do not think bitcoin is the most advanced possibility the human mind can create.

Minereum is a promising project. I am in it from the beginning and profits are great!

Right, and it is very undervalued right now. If you consider the actual supply, other coins are valued over $100.
If it hit bittrex or poloniex in next days, value will rocket

I agree, the value is getting better.

Blocknet - get in quick! Going to $50

I actually believe LTC is going to jump up high the same manner ETH did a few months ago.

Too much alt-coins out there already. Poloniex has decided to de-list some of them that have no or low volumes so that speaks for itself. Only purpose I see on altcoin is that they are just a pump and dump only. Creating a FUD then pump some alt coins, sell to make profit. That's it.

The amount of coins will only worsen by the minute, might as well see what coin has the plausible idea.

I think more and more new altcoin is getting better, competition is getting tougher and altcoin will keep updating its technology. Transaction traffic becomes very large.

When a lot of coins appearing more and more projects ico good signature campaign, social media campaign or other. It will certainly add work to the participants because it will be greater profit generated

People really aren't discovering XtraBytes still. It's risen more than 1000% in May. No POW, no POS, solves 51% attack. Still relatively cheap. It's a billion dollar top 10 coin I'm sure of it. Join the slack it already has 700 members in a few weeks. It still isn't on a major excnage.

"Next big thing" is a BIG altcoin market CRASH!

I agree! But i hope that will not happen so fast.

[kingorbust]

I am sure tezos will be big..but it has no ico yet..from existing one.. I think it is safe to say strtis and waves will be the next big ones, let say one year from now, both will be in at least usd50 to usd100 range....

This would be only logical thing now, lot of people expecting now LTC to surpass ETH.

Also this can be cause unstable market, because every new project being pumped, people jumps from one to another token, creating confusion and situation where technology is not important, only gain.

The only real coins that I respect are ones that address bitcoin's scalability limitations. After going through that entire list on coinmarketcap there's very few I'm actually interested in myself though there's likely a couple that I missed.  All these coins that offer niche services are never going to take off because nobody is going to use them, and if companies do they'll just rip off the blockchain and make their own version because everything's open source anyways.  Take care of the scalability first and you can throw those other features in any old blockchain.  Not many coins are actually designed to address bitcoin's limitations.. my list is under 10 coins in that entire list of 300+... the most interesting is pascal which offers blockchain trim, and xtrabytes with the static nodes, and NEM for pure transactions per second but actually confirmed it runs at those speeds in real world situations, and there's a couple others I won't mention because I didn't buy them yet but I'll give you a hint... child chains.

Is that what typically happens when new coins hit those larger exchanges?

It will open it up to a larger pool of potential investors. Early adopters will sell in to the news securing their gains in the process.

Is there an example chart of a coin before and after being added to Polo/Bittrex?

[Ale88]

and have a look on QTUM, listed on chinese exchanges only.

Do you trust them? I'd like to get some QTUM but I'm not sure about the Chinese exchanges...

About listing to Poloniex, I know Poloniex in next time will not listed any altcoin, but I not know why not? We can wait Bittrex listing MNE and take our profit, agree Minereum is a promising project, very good and can long-term

[renes]

The some among the new icos will rise very fast in this year according to the course of their project.

[kenji]

I think IOTA is the Next big Thing!

[ePesoInitiative]

IOTA, Byteball, Raiblocks - take your pick.

Altcoins are made after the success of bitcoin. But some altcoins now are performing better.
They are trying to surpass bitcoin. In logical thinking of course they can surpass it when the market cap is increasing.
Eth and ripple are the next big thing in altcoins.
