Frankos all the way... Theres a solid backbone community with a neutral collective. Holds the most promise as a truly "decentralized" currency.

I have asked this question myself. The reality is...there will probably only be 3 or 4 real players... So BTC, LTC, WDC and X. That is my prediction. Buy 1000 of each shit-coin and keep them forever. If one is a blockbuster, you will have yourself a small fortune. Otherwise, mine and sell to the other shmucks that want them.

People that are The cheapest Alt-Coins are the best bet, you cant loose much if your wrong. But dont get greedy and put only small USD amount in
Speculation don't work that way. If something doubles in value you will double your investment no matter the original price. Bitcoin was considered expensive in 200 and that was only 3 weeks ago, but now worths 4 or 5 times more. Can you name a cheap alt coin with such a rise

Peercoin is the only coin with a legitimate value proposition (different security model). All the other coins are either unfinished or extremely similar to bitcoin but just with weaker networks.
For now, peercoin and keep your eyes out for new opportunities (eg mastercoin if it suceeds in implementing some of its promised features).

Peercoin should be in your top 3. WDC is undecided for me, definitely not a 'for sure'. People that are The cheapest Alt-Coins are the best bet, you cant loose much if your wrong. But dont get greedy and put only small USD amount in

Bitcoin was considered expensive in 200 and that was only 3 weeks ago, but now worths 4 or 5 times more. Can you name a cheap alt coin with such a rise Where have you been since Monday? NMC went up 250% yesterday alone, FTC, NVC, XPM, WDC, all of them doubled in the last few days. In the span of weeks they have also x4'd. Peercoin is the only coin with a legitimate value proposition (different security model). All the other coins are either unfinished or extremely similar to bitcoin but just with weaker networks.

<3 Long live Peercoin. Look out for NY Times article Monday!

I've been reading something about FTC but it just seems just another alternatecoin, which will maybe go up with other but probably doesnt bypass them, mostle seems like pump and dump kind of trading. What you guys think about it?

This thread is useless because people root for the coin they hold ... objectively though you should look at coins that do something new or fix something in Bitcoin that the Bitcoin devs can't. In this sense even Litecoin's future is very dubious, let alone "Franko" & such.
I don't know a lot but from what I can see, Peercoin & Primecoin both do something new. The coming eMunie seems to as well, but I'm still studying it.

If you looking for something NEW I recommend ProtoShares it is basically a window to start owning crypto equities.

I hear that Zetacoins are pretty profitable. I think they are going to rise.

What is new about the Euro over USD? Currency isnt determined by what some people think are neat, its determined by consensus. Franko offers the fairest time for adoption. The rest seem to just benefit those who mine it first. PPC is a nice proof of concept but has no infrastructure other then the bag holders. Even frk has more merchants then ppc :x Franko is the future! The website says so.

I agree with this. It doesn't make sense to select an alternative based on current adoption because bitcoin's advantage along this dimension is so overwhelming. The point of investing in an altcoin is to jump in before other adopters. If you want high returns, you need to anticipate adoption, not just jump on the bandwagon. If you invest simply because others have already invested, it defeats the whole point (i.e. you should just invest in bitcoin). Consider instead 1) differentiation 2) track record of developer 3) economic usefulness of the differentiating property 1) Peercoin (and its clones) & Primecoin have significant unique properties (not just parameter tweaks or new hashing algorithms). 2) Sunny King develops and maintains both Peercoin & Primecoin (he is the only developer (so far) who has released coins with significant innovative properties.) 3) Peercoin (and its clones) do not require expenditures on mining equipment and electricity; ultimately this means lower txn fees which is a major economic benefit. The only coin that satisfies all of the three criteria listed above is Peercoin.

Maybe they invest first in the coin they believe in? So if they're correct in their choosing and "rooting" this thread might be invaluable. I like reading these arguments and comparing them to my own understanding.

I like reading these arguments and comparing them to my own understanding. It's not always like that. Sometimes people buy into a coin because they expect to make a quick buck and they don't. Then they get stuck into the investment and propagate it around in hopes the value will increase so they can sell the currency for profit or make up for the loss. I speak this from observation.

I have now most of my coins in BTC. I used to have a reasonable amount of LTC, but cashed out in BTC at 0.035 (but I can't see the future).
Ich have now: - BTC - PPC ( Proof of stake, I like) - XPM (fast and Primes) and minor: - Quarkcoins, just gained in price a lot the last days. I like it. 6 different hashes, 9 rounds. 30sek blocks. - Worldcoin -> seems to be popular and to have a community - Megacoins -> same - Cryptogeneric Bullion -> why not
For the last 4 I don't really have a plan but I thought, why not? If they all fall to 0 I am not really sad. And if the gain in value, too.
