So, these ASICs designed for bitcoins, using SHA256, can they be used for other cryptocurrencies using same encryption?

I was thinking of investing in some ASICs but it would feel good to have something to switch to if BTC would turn less profitable.

My first thread by the way, looking forward getting to know you all.

There is no encryption in Bitcoin
Also, only other sha256 coins like devcoin or namecoin
