Ethereum, MaidSafe, NXT, anything else worth investing in, in 2014?

[lovely89]

So if I have to sum it up looks like Ethereum, NXT and MaidSafe are the 3 (potentially) hot things one can invest in 2014 if he wants to be in the position that bitcoin early adopters were in 2009?


Your thoughts?

Nxt is a big one.
Ethereum  is looking to revolutionize decentralised platforms.
eMunie has so very much potential and is doing something very unique and is progressing very fast.
Skycoin definitely the underrated project of the year. Includes a darknet, meshnet and obelisk blockchain. More secure than bitcoin and much much faster.
I also think there will be a wealth transfer from litecoin to peercoin over the next 8 months
Not sure why maidsafe is getting so much attention...

Thanks for pointing me to Skycoin, reading up on it and it looks very promising.

skycoin? really? Buying in a 1% IPO, and devs keep 99%?
Don´t look promising to me.

To me profit != promising.
Innovation and demand = promising.
Devs are keeping 99% to continue to distribute over the years. I'm not entirely happy with this but they said they might have 3 IPOs  but also bounties for implementing the meshnet for incentive and get away from pump and dump history of coins.

I just started reading up on it; initial posts I saw said nothing about an IPO.. perhaps they added that later >:[ which makes it a lot less attractive

Seems like eMunie isn't getting more attention than it should but that's reasonable for now since the source code isn't out yet.

why?

This is just my opinion and I'm sure many will have their own.

I think litecoins high standing importance in the cryptoworld is coming to an end. The only benefit is currently ASIC resistant mining and 2.5 minute block times. I can't see that as being enough to stay ahead of Bitcoin 2.0 coins or the more immediate threat,  peercoin. I think POS is the consensus of the future and POW is only great for distribution.

Peercoin has the community and attributes to replace litecoin as number 2 marketcap. With peershares coming along and a larger peerunity, it's only a matter of time.

[lovely89]

can someone recommend an ipo that is still ongoing so we can still buy in now?

If you're just looking for profit, I think eMunie will produce a decent ROI. Very little interest considering what it offers but also due to people losing interest because of so many delays.

This is too weird. I got excited when I saw it debut but I think it was a mistake. Who the hell has 99% of the coins??? Why would the devs make a meshnet and then keep is value from the world?? Its worse than ripple. The way to do it, it to give 100% of the coins to the people. Otherwise this is just like tor but with distibuted hosting. Its a great idea but I think the devs are motivated by greed. No wonder to volume is so low.

The "hot new thing" tends to fade.
In six to eight months the list will have 3,4, or 5 other names.
2009 is over and it cannot be recreated, sorry.

That is the question discussed here. To give your 3, 4 or 5 names that will last in 1year time and the reasons.

The IPO plan is just a plan for now. They have nothing set in stone and have even said they may change it if they think it is for the better. If you really don't like it, go suggest a better idea and say why. The developer(s) are really great when it comes to responding to questions and enquiries on the Skycoin thread. Also, it isn't released yet so there is no volume. You may be looking at the old 'Skycoin' that was released over a year ago.

I personally think that they should be releasing around 50% over multiple IPO's over a year then use the rest for bounties. This wouldn't be a get rich quick scheme that everyone seems to be looking for but encourages people to get involved and contribute to the coin and meshnet rather than hoarding for the sake of profit.

Also, please don't say they will have 99% of the coins. They have said repeatedly that the coins will be distributed (not 100% but most) the coins over a number of years instead of 1 quick IPO that creates an unfair advantage to early adopters and causes later adopters to lose interest, much like Mastercoin and to some degree, NXT.

even 50% would be a total joke. If they keep 3-5% everything is alright.
Nobody knows if they will every give more coins to us. And a first IPO worth selling 1% for 50k$ is just pure greed.
That´s the worst IPO Plan in history.

A single IPO doesn't match their goals. It doesn't enable them to distribute coins as bounties over years and it doesn't allow them to involve people who aren't watching this coin right now. If you have something constructive to say in regards to reaching their goals in a better fashion then go to their thread and give your argument, they will listen. If you want to just make some profit then go buy some dogecoin.

Of course, and I should trust them not to dump the coins if the price increases?
You are so naive.

I think that the POS coins have a lot of potential but so far none has been perfect.  NXT is awesome and doing some great things, but I wonder if NEM can make good where NXT has made mistakes.  I really think that the best investment of 2014 will be the thing that nobody expects but has all the killer features and comes out of nowhere to surprise everybody..

Summer coin worth the investment

I'm not so familiar with any of them so I thank you for bringing this potential opportunity to my attention.  I look forward to sharing my opinions when I have a better understanding of these new cryptos.
