The Gold Standard

[Steveia]

If Bitcoin is the gold standard of crypto-currencies and Litecoin is the silver to bitcoin's gold, then why does Goldcoin advertize itself as the gold standard of digital currencies?

What each coin refers to themselves as doesn't really mean anything. Bitcoin is the most likely to go mainstream. It has the most mainstream interest and more venture capitalists are open to Bitcoin startups than any other one. What happens to Litecoin and alternatives no one will know.

just the name of a coin makes no gold out of it (goldcoin).

Litecoin is the second largest and best crytpo because it has a good developer-base and good community. also it was not pre-mined like other scam coins.

I was being sardonic. Goldcoin calls itself the gold standard in digital currencies because it has the name "gold" in its title; but it is without merit. Bitcoin is the gold standard.
