What altcoins are going to the moon?

[AnonyFox]

I've heard of DogeCoin and Coinye Coin, but I know there are a lot of altcoins out there. What is the general consensus on what coin is the best to invest in? Is BTC in for another rise?

Also, what coin is the most profitable to mine right now?

[WayToGo]

lottocoin and earth coin

You guys are in luck.  There is another 150 page plus poll of the experienced members and the coin voted most likely to succeed and profit in the future was QUARK.

Here is some info about it:

Granted the current price is around .07 a coin but the kicker is that it can ONLY be mined with a CPU.  Meaning that it can be mined by anyone, and it keeps the big dollar investors out of the game.  CPU mining is extremely low power consumption, and easy to set up and use.

I just set up some miners tonight and already have a few coins to show for it.

If you want to see the going rate for alt-coins I suggest either of these sites:

Dogecoin.

Much coin. Very currency. Wow! Joking. But I guess Litecoin? It seems to be doing okay for a Alt. Coin, while Dogecoins are more or less used for the lulz.

[ibejammin]

I predict Stablecoin to be very relevant within the next 6 months

[FractalUniverse]

DOGE of course

i just saw another poll where quark is rated highest-its called:  What are the biggest scam/sh*t coins out there?: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=361286.40

so what to believe?

[koshgel]

Are you telling me a coin thats already been mostly pre-mined isnt the future? Damn 

[dille71]

If you want in for the long term i say go for Goldcoin!
It is not as hyped as many other coins and it has been pretty stable compared to other alts

[bassdude]

megacoin

[CoinAmmo]

lottocoin and earth coin

Earth coin is awesome! check out the poolerino pool,

[mathayus]

How about worldcoin, seems to have lawyers and investors on its board.

The website looks nice anyway.

[Mazeltov]

So far I can tell it's every coin which I didn't mine. And bitcoin.

IMHO no Altcoin is going "to the moon" anymore - unless BTC and LTC go "to the moon" from where they are now (and most people don't realize going to the moon is actually a quite dangerous & risky trip).

In the current, mindless frenzy of people owning any mining-capable hardware who missed the original trains of BTC/LTC - they get served what they want.
Ever-brand new tracks made of cardboard & plastic, scale 1:48 or smaller - just for the sake of entering a train at its launch station (any train). And they are allowed to waste electricity for whatever coin people make up just to make them feel finally I'm on board @departure and might get rich. The very definition of FIAT, transported into the digital world. Brilliant.
None of this will end well for most.

The only funny, next thing would be "Brain Coin" requiring manual, human calculation limited to pocket calculators
(at least what would educate and train people at math, so that's actually a true value generated here *g* )

I'm honestly waiting for an "Altcoin Generator Construction Kit" Software sold, allowing anyone to create a coin within 5 minutes... for only 499.99$*.
( * Hosting & Pools not included, order separately for only 299.99$/month ! )
That would truly be a viable and completely valid business plan for the Greater Fool Theory

On a more serious note, in the long run most of these newer clone/pump&dump Altcoins will primarily serve one single function - damage Crypto Currency reputation.
Given their inflating numbers, that's something they could actually get really good at and help opening the door to "emergency cryptocurrency regulation" by governments to "prevent further financial damage to their citizens" by coin failures.

there are already coingenerators?!

i predict ltc and eac a bright future at least this year. nobody can tell how the whole cryptocointhing will go

[Hamuki]

Dogecoin will hopefully grow..

Coinye is another story though.. If we are lucky, then they make namechange and rebrand the coin itself..

I am going to make a serious coin that it a bit of a copy off the LiteCoin, but isnt gonna be as "Easy" to get loads of.
So the coin is getting some accual value

[FalconFly]

@Dial595

Haha *omg* that was a joke...
I wouldn't be surprised to see one though, one day in the future
I honestly think there's money to be made with that right now, if a coder with too much time at hands feels so inclined to make one.

lol

Hardly any of these rip-offs have any actual value (apart from their entertainment factor to witness a ponzi restart and the fools rushing into them).

DogeCoin holds the current crown, designed as a functional but clear joke about AltCoin inflation but immediately taken serious by the blind, zombielike greedy masses within days (!).
The irony of that was beyond words, really hard to top that

Some of the "fresh Altcoin" fans are so dimwitted, one could toss them a "TheftCoin" where a random percentage of Coins is subtracted from random wallets @ each block discovered...
And you'd actually find people seriously "hoping this takes off"
It has reached really bizarre dimensions...

-- edit --

To answer the original Poster's question :
Buy a certain amount of BTC and LTC, plus a P2P based currency you prefer. Then just wait for a profitable exit (even after biblical events occur) and hope for the best - and accept a total loss should a coin die.
That's the only way to profit, while avoiding the entire Greater Fool Industry to the max. extend...
Oh, and don't follow the "profit zombies"... They smell "profit" from miles away and rush in to get wiped out, like Lemmings. Must be their religion or something...

I think the scrypt coins which are basically copy of litecoin won't have a chance to go to the moon. They might go out of the earth atmosphere but they won't make it to the moon. I would say new projects, second generation of crypto, mastercoin, NXT, etc might have a chance.
 

[johnywalker]

I think it makes sense to buy NXT forks

There already is a "coin generator" out there... http://coingen.io/
