Do we realy need NXT / Ripple ?

[anth0ny]

Yes, I guess I don't like Ripple. But what I really don't like is when people try to say that Ripple isn't competitive with Bitcoin.

It's the truth however...
actually ripple helps bitcoin...

That's the line. But I've already explained how it's nonsense.

If Ripple becomes ubiquitous, you don't need Bitcoin. If Bitcoin becomes ubiquitous, you don't need Ripple. Both want to be ubiquitous.

That's competition.

Btw, if you don't like ripple, nobody is forcing you to use, lol

I'm not sure how anyone would force me to use it since I'm unable to use it!

This doesn't make you honor

Bitcoin is a masterpiece and first decentralized crypto currency.  So frankly it doesn't matters if people are launching alternative coins now. They can't replace bitcoin.  
We have found so many shiny stones till now but hey diamond is still there..

As for nxt and other coins.. We actually need them.. To attract more people.. to spread knowledge about cryptocurencies..To get better ideas and to find solutions for the flaws in our current crypto currencies..

who knows maybe satoshi might come back in some years and release Bitcoin 2.0

He already did. And called it "Nxt".

[Wipeout2097]

Hold on a second...

So, you Nxt'ers and others are not competing with fiat or with Paypal? You want to actually beat/replace Bitcoin?

Yes nothing less. period.

Yet you shit pumpers need BITCOINtalk.org to "market" it!  

Good luck, I guess...

For most of the alt-coins I agree with this.

For Ripple I think there's a danger that this inferior solution could win. And the name of that danger is Google Ventures.

The fact that the Ripple pumpers keep trying to embrace and extend Bitcoin is especially worrisome.

Then why it has Java and .Net dependencies.

Good point. Real Satoshi would use Assembler.

We deff need NXT for when btc becomes regulated and centralized

We need alts for when btc becomes regulated and centralized. We don't need an IPO'ed shitcoin to replace it

[Isildur23]

Average Joe is asking "Do we need BTC? FIAT are not perfekt but they work fine..."
People who like the technology and are openminded will accept it first. Speculators will keep trying all forms of black marketing and keep on with their prejudices until they completely miss the train...

What .Net dependencies?

Java is open source (GPL licence) platform.

The average person is saying the exact same thing with regards to BTC. Go around the streets and ask people. There are a lot of people that just feel its a fad that will die. They don't see the value in Bitcoin because of it being a digital currency. Some of my friends all feel why should they use it when Credit cards/Paypal work just as well, if not better, other than it being centralized. If one doesn't care about that then yeah...

The people I talk to like it as a commodity (aka Gold equiv.) but not as the equiv of the USD, Euro, etc. They like the potential rise of their investment more than anything.

Considering that even Bitcoin has struggled for years, how the hell do you expect that yet another obscure altcoin (in hundreds now), like Nxt to get some traction, huh?

Bitcoin struggled for years because it was new. NXT and others are followups and as more people become interested in what are Cryptos more investments will start to come in. I joined last November because of all the media coming out about it from which I started to become interested after a few years of investing into stocks.

Who knows we may be seeing the day of Bitcoin and the like become the digital versions of Gold and such.

Competition is always good to drive the market forward. Its never good to stand still.

Nxt did pretty well in 1 month since "official" launch.  It will get some traction by offering new features (faster transactions, messages, aliases, decentralized asset exchanges/market place, etc).
