A warning about Alt-Coins

[PenAndPaper]

I think there is a great coin incoming to the markets - Collosus Coin COL. It have been for more than a month on Cryptsy , and now following the BTC rise it can skyrocket soon .  What do you ppl think about it?

I think that i haven't heard COL before but if history taught us anything so far is that everything is possible in the crypto coin world

would love to see I0C added to ghash.io, would be great to have some more votes on it:

Zetacoin is rocketing on cryptsy today...  Anyone know why??  It has been following btc rise for a while but one day last week it jumped, but that rise is dwarfed by todays

I see that but i don't understand all the sudden interest in alt coins

today all alt coin going up and down some even for 400% and more tomorrow will see the try value of all alt coin

 I like the idea of having alt coins is great, just there are too many alt coins. Alt coins are growing in number, making it harder for us newbs to choose which coins are good and which are bad.

Follow market ask some friend go for maybe LTC, PPC, FTC, NMC, NVC or try some that may be the future like maybe IFC, COL, GDC, WDC .....

I think in January LTC will be $100 each. It has a lot of potential.

Mining like crazy, so really hope so 

I am thinking of putting some money on low value coins in hope of some serious profit

I'm happy to inform you that JKC (also known as JunkCoin) is back from the sleep after a nice kick-off purchase that I made on Cryptsy (JKC/LTC). I hope it won't fall miserably due to major dump again. My best wished to it's development team and, since, it's also my first post here, it's good to be here. Regards, monopodman.

I wanted to post this in the official ZetaCoin (ZTC) thread but I guess since I'm noob status on this board this is where such conversation must take place for now. I definitely agree the alt-coin surge has been powered by that WSJ article... but BBQCoin? Lol it could have at least used a better name. I see it have very niche applications! I have seen that Bill Still guy shillin for Quarkcoin too but I don't understand it... its just more secure? He is somehow linked with Max Keiser who called the Litecoin jump well ahead of the jump and apparently is known in "financial circles".

I like the growth that Zetacoin has seen, it has been growing 100%+ for several days now and has a finite coin production (which ends after a year), no pre-mining, and a number of other benefits. I think its a challenger for Megacoin. The one thing I don't understand is how a coin with so much market momentum and potential doesn't even have a real website! There is a block explorer and people are mining it but the link on http://coinmarketcap.com/ just points to its github page, the "official" page right now as far as I know is just a forum posting here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=267545.0. I might throw a few BTC at it  . I'd like to help build the community around ZTC but can't participate in the main thread

Best way to bet on a coin that will skyrocket even if you will gain less than betting on 1 coin only
Risk vs Reward, it's always hard to choose where to put the cursor

Is there a particular exchange that you recommend to accomplish accumulating alt coins?

Thanks,

Good advice

[LeafMiner]

I see the altcoins movement as highly positive. It is a good thing to be able to diversify :-)

Anyone know if Megacoin has something to do with Kim Dotcom? It's on a .co.nz site..
