I'm not sure about 2014, but I feel Goldcoin (GLD) will rise to compete toe-to-toe with Bitcoin over the long term.

[Jeezy911]

I feel bulldickish on ripple for some reason. I actually own 0. Play it safe Doge, black, dark, vert in that order.

[mladen00]

Maybe 2014 will be a year of fair and good IPO coins

NEM, EXO etc...

[Buratino]

NXT, NEM, ExO, Qora, Monero, Darkcoin, MyriadCoin

[crypto4jan]

My investment considerations for Altcoins:
- Energy efficient
- Low inflation
- Market
1st Blackcoin
2nd Mintcoin
3rd Communitycoin
4th CinniCoin
others?

[e1ghtSpace]

GOODcoin and VirtualCoin are the ways to go.

Only BTC is valuable.

At this moment true but for the future I see more potential for new coins with inovated features.
BTC can go to $ 1000 or more but the most grow is behind us.

I think BTC is done - they can't ever convince the mainstream to jump in due to all the scandals and technical issues.

MyriadCoin !!!

[DRZoidberg]

From my point of view , the coins I own are the best and wish other people to invest in them (Darkcoin, Zerocoin and Bytecoin) . Come on, guys, invest in these coins to support me

The inovations of these coins looks good but not energy efficient.
The climb of DarkCoin is impressive, I hope no Pump and Dump.

Pawn - read my sig
Dark - first X11, will explode once ASICs for scrypt come
Vert - same as Dark, but for scrypt-n
Litecoin - price will rise after difficulty rise which will also occur when ASICs appear
NXT - first and innovative in 100% POS
NEM - same as NXT and second, but I believe better organised

Some people said Ripple.  As far as I know, this is totally missing the point.  Ripple isn't really a coin, it is a payment system.  The XRP which is the coin of Ripple isn't meant to be worth anything.  It is just suppose to be a small little something that is burnt every transaction and therefore its purpose is not to be speculated on but instead to counter act spam.  The USD, EURO, RMB, bitcoin, gold, silver in the Ripple system is what is meant to be valuable.  As a payment system for moving money around the globe, the Ripple technology is magnitudes better than bitcoin.  Right now the technology is there, but there are no endpoints to use it.  Think of Ripple as like a net connecting lots of different financial institutional and right now all the wires are laid but they just aren't connected to anybody that is home.  That might change in the future.  But even if it does and even if Ripple takes over and smashes everything else, then XRP still won't be worth much.  The whole point of XRP is so that it will be destroyed.  Why is something that is meant to be destroyed valuable?  Many people also complain that Ripple is premined and therefore a scam, but again what does it matter if it was all premined when it is all worth almost nothing.   

The tech of Ripple is so much better because in theory if the network gets enough backing by financial institutions than I can send USD to anywhere in the world and instantly have it converted into the currency of that land, all in about 5 seconds, all for almost no fees but burning a little XRP.  The ripple system is a free market so anybody that offers the exchanges for the cheapest margins are automatically selected.  This drives down the fees for the consumer.  And even though I think that as a platform Ripple is of magnitudes more utility than bitcoin, I own very little XRP and like 100 times more bitcoin.  There really just isn't a point in speculating on XRP in my opinion.

But it's too hard to mine because of the diff.
Why not to try luck with altcoins? There is a big variety of alcoins with different features.
Just need to choose the coin which meets the requirements of anonymity and ,IMHO, must  be CPU only to get rid of participation in unfair race that happens with GUI mining coins

Both of these quotes are misguided... BTC is just getting started. You have to understand that BTC and the technology behind it is about so much more than our little world here on bitcointalk.org and cryptsy/mintpal... BTC is going to have its blockchain incorporated into so much more of the Internet over the next few years and it is still gaining adoption by many new large firms and governments as time goes on. BTC has the potential to be worth $100K/coin or even more. Day trading is only a small portion of BTC. Its not done, this is only the beginning.

So? Every Altcoin has the same structure. If Bitcoin cannot grow why should any altcoin? Or do you think you can't steal Litecoin or Blackcoin like you can steal Bitcoin?

I truly believe BTC will have a long life.
As for investment it's hard to say as exchange rates depend on many factors and are highly volatile.

One thing I have noticed - some altcoins lose 30-70% of their values when they are added to Cryptsy.
So it's better to sell them before.

Quebecoin will be the best altcoin ever, and the best X11 algorithm coin. I invested all my trust and hope into this coin, pleaste take a look.
