People are excited about Ripple but it is still off its old highs. Recently Dogecoin was an old favourite that rose back again after a prolonged fall. I believe this means major coins will have cycles of renewed interest.
The question is what major coin has had a prolonged drop and now is ripe for an up cycle?
Peercoin, NXT, Darkcoin, Quark? (I hold none of these)

One of NXT and Bitshares. I bought both even though I don't like both of them, one held by a few due to a botched distribution and the other being abused by the greedy developers to make more and more profits.

IIRC Litecoin ATH on 2013 was about $50, that sounds a bit crazy for me unless Bitcoin goes to $1000ish again ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

They keep changing their deal now and then which always results in a big price swing. In October they suddenly announced a merger and introduced inflation which screwed up a lot of their supporters. Then they resurrected PTS to pump and dump it and even created a testnet with value and allotted it to this PTS. I am surprised that their supporters getting screwed again and again blindly hand over their money. They likely don't have a choice as they have already invested deeply in it.

Litecoin is done, poor cousin of Bitcoin with no advantages. It was relevant earlier as an alternate investment, but now with lots of new projects and established 2nd gen coins it is no longer so.

I wouldn't completely discount Litecoin for two reasons, one it's heavily involved in trading on many exchanges for other coins and also in the minds of the 'mainstream' it's got this silver to Bitcoins Gold thing, it's nonsense but if people believe it enough it becomes true. So any surge in BTC In the mainstream could lift Litecoin too.

I agree that a surge in BTC fortunes may lift it too, but it will be less effective if the surge doesn't happen soon.

The whole bull rush last year that caused $1,200 BTC and $48 LTC was mainly because of Willy bot. So I personally do not see it happening like it did in the past unless we (we as in all crypto) get some sort of user adoption on a massive scale. Don't rule out the Litecoin Better tell them Charlie Lee and give back to the people! What does Charlie need 20% of LTC for?! The people starve while Lee eats cake. ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Ohh come on now you're just trolling at this point. Charlie doesn't have nearly 20% of litecoins lol. I'd doubt if he even has .5%. EDIT: Halving should happen in Oct 2015

You're making it seem like the developers are making these botched PR moves on purpose. They're not, they just suck at PR. They lost more than anyone in the october meltdown because they are all big holders. More than anything bitshares is a project led purely by passionate and highly skilled developers with little PR, business or marketing skills. Noone is trying to scam anyone. The testnet issue seems like it will get solved. They sharedropped on PTS because they reasoned this would create more value for the bitshares ecosystem as a whole, and that BTS would benefit more from this. It didn't occur to them that investors would care about a relatively worthless testnet. Investors made a huge deal out of protesting this, and the developers acknowledged their concerns and are going to redo the testnet sharedrop.

The BTS changes can't really be dismissed as 'botched PR moves' The BTS devs (and community, I assume) seem to have changed a lot of the basic structure of how BTS will work, and they're continuing to do this. This is much more than PR, this is about the basics of how stuff works (or not).

People are losing confidence in bitcoin and trying to figure out which altcoin will displace it. I think that speculation will intensify this year.
