Differences btw Cryptos, wondering where trading opportunities will lay

[Himself]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone thinks that at some point litecoin/feathercoin/etc might be useful as a hedge against bTC.  Just curious as to how the community sees the other forms of currency growing and how they'll relate not just to fiat, but each other as well.

I was wondering this too.

No.   Most of them are all shallow copies of Bitcoin and if Bitcoin fails they likely will too.

I have no idea if it will increase in value (and for the record I own none) but POS (proof of stake) based coins like PPC at least provide a plausible hedge against a failure point of Bitcoin.  If Bitcoin was continually 51% attacked you likely would see interest and increased innovation in the POS based coins.
