Best Alt coin to invest in 2014

Stellar coins, so much hype last 1 week.

Stellar coins, so much hype last 1 week.

So this should be the last coin you should invest in. Pick one which is totally unhyped but shows potential.
I am not banking on it, but I feel FTC will surprise quite a few on here.

Anoncoin is extremely cheap at the moment. Good dev-team and steady work for over a year, but low publisity. When the implementation of zerocoin is finished the price is likely to explode.

Firecoin. It is around 10k sat for a coin with only 97k total. There is a great chance for it to be hugely profitable if it is turned around.

But why does it have potential? It won't increase in value for no reason.

Because I have taken it over and will get it to be worth more.   

Still, I only invest in coins that offer atleaset SOMETHING unique. What would that be with firecoin?

I will give you an active developer which is better then 95% of the coins out there. I am not going to just bail so if you want to gamble that you guess right on the pump and dump then that's fine. We will keep building up our economy but I am not going to preach to you that It will change the world.we have new things coming.

They are coming on very late with anonymous technology that is already very outdated.
I highly doubt that there will be any significant price change.

Blackcoin no doubt

why do you think this? Sadly i think that it will never reach the old value

It should exceed the old value, its been improved since and there is the same number of coins so theres no great why not.  If its audience and usage expands then it'll rise in price.
 The question should be how well does it compete with alternatives but I believe its cheap, fast and easy to use so I think its a fair prospect

Now might be a good time to buy Dogecoin; merge-mining with LTC has just been announced, which should solve Dogecoin's security problem, which was the reason why the price has been crashing since last month.

Will the dogecoin android wallet work? I was the first one which did the android wallet for merge mined coins... maybe someone else did it too by now, but if you add auxpow blocks to the tx you will need to update all clients using the blockchain before auxpow blocks.

devcoin is wayyy better imo.. it uses merge-mining not only for security but as a proof of labour mechanism where 90% of coins go to developers and writers and musicians... so it adds an extra layer of incentive over any other merge mined coins.

Also just like I predicted months ago, the random algorithm alt coin game is almost dead and any alt that is not merge mined will be dead in the water soon.. devcoin was one of the first merge mined coins so it essentially is the best buy of 2014 (new changes coming too, insider tip)

Why do you say "when" , at this moment it is more like "if" !

Stellar wants to release 95% to millions of people but Bitcoin only has 1 to 2 million users. Extremely optimistic to think somehow that Stellar can persuade every Bitcoin holder to sign up or to get millions of new users to start using cryptos.


Stellar is clearly intended to be a 94.9% lockup scam.  What will happen is the only tradeable stellar will be Stellar's 3% developer premine, 2% venture capitalist premine and than any additional crumbs that are assigned to newcomers.

Stellar is said it wants 1 to 2 million users - which is obviously 10s of billions of coins, that means the Stellar team will have billions of coins to dump when they're only giving out 100s to low 1000s to people who sign up.

I pity the people who think this is an actual investment (unless you're the venture capitalist who funded it).  You're quite likely to be a bagholder if you buy Stellar versus the venture capitalist who can make $50+ million if this approaches Ripples' volume.

Think hard for a moment - are you really going to buy a coin that has some rich pre-IPO investor who put in $3 million?  That's a ponzi scheme / get quick rich scheme ran by a wealthy investor.

I dislike stellar too, but what you are saying is FUD.

Stellar will be distributed to 50% via the free coins
and 20 % via BTC airdrop.

How could they then hold up 95%?

How does Ripple have 97% even though they have a distribution model too?

Due to a lack of users.   They want to give out coins to 1-2 million Facebook accounts when at best they're only going to get a few ten thousand users within a years' time  (if they can get even that).

In theory 95% of Stellar will be given away in the future (years or decades) but in practice the tradeable stellar is reduced to the 5% spendable premine plus the crumbs from the signup program.   That results in a situation where Stellar effectively controls 99% of tradeable stellar and can dictate any price they want and make a fortune.

But the point is, that due to the 20% of giveaway to bitcoin users, there will be a big part of that claimed!

Yeah but you still have to physically figure out how to use that Stellar.  Never mind there's also all the dead wallets and such.  Satoshi is about to get a lot of Stellar.  

I don't think the breakdown equates at all because the distribution is going to move at a snails' base while volume can easily hit $200K+ 24H with a few ten thousand users, but most of the volume will be Stellar selling to investors.

Xc/xmr/bc/cloak coin if it comes through and isn't all vapor/ zero cash if it comes out
And possibly lottoshares ... If it actually gets used

[OptimusPrime7]

whitecoin and black coin..

[TrangLee]

It's new but I think it will go far is LibrexCoin LXC. It looks promising and has an active dev and community.

[TamiLee]

I have to say Guldencoin - NLG has impressed the hell out of me and the price is dirt cheap for now. Seriously just look at there ANN for last 4-5 pages.

[jurij.timofejev]

- Litecoin, - Nxt, - Peercoin, - Vertcoin, - Darkcoin

Top 5 is a product of history.  Litecoin for example was the first altcoin to survive a bitcoin hype cycle.  That pulled a lot of money into the LTC economy, but it adds no value so now the inexorable force of natural monopoly is squeezing litecoin to death.  Peercoin is the first proof of stake coin, perhaps the only PoS which isn't a scam?  Nxt offers 2.0 services - the best set currently working -, but is a premine.  Dark is a scam on top of snakeoil - for proper privacy enhancement you need to look at more recent cryptonote coins.  I can't speak to vertcoin.  I suggest looking at xmr, xcn and via.

Thanks, Aminorex!

Most coins look "promising" but get dumped by the devs very soon...

I agree with you we have many time these words this is promising and dev are very hard working and good but coins dumb just in few days
