BITBAR its obvious

Uh, wait a sec, he said NOT scams.

There seems to be a built in assumption that because this is bitcointalk forum bitcoin itself is not a scam.

The others you takes your chances, but all the new ones made the last week or two were massively massively pre-mined at launch by setting their initial difficulty insanely low and in some cases by also making the block reward start dropping almost instantly too.

(Case in point, bitbar...)

It is perhaps safest from your perspective just put money into BTC. I skipped BTC and went straight to LTC but that was some time ago. Personally I think the highest return is going to come from a new coin and there have been a few of those recently. Just do your own research to find out about the newer coins and make your own decision. There will be a lot of misleading people, also never listen to that chat box on BTC-e

Don't fall for any of it. Do a search here for reputable escrow agents.

In fact, I've been working on a list of escrow agents on this subforum who deal with altcoins. See my sig for a link.

On topic: I'm a fan of BTC (obviously), LTC, and DVC. I really like the idea behind devcoin, and litecoin seems fairly well-established at this point. Most of the other altchains, I'm fairly skeptical of tbh. Especially the newest ones (CHN, FTC, and BTB).

Best Answer. And then YOU decide based on that sticky (:

ALL altcoins can be considered scams, it's all about your risk tolerance.

For the smallest possibility of zeroing yourself (well, go bonds if you really want to limit risk), go with BTC. For increased risk, go with LTC. The rest is even more risky.
The logic is really simple: If BTC bursts, every other coin is devalued along with it. If FTC bursts, nothing happens..
