What cryptocurrency do you have the most faith in the long term?

[Denker]

Bitcoin is the only one I have faith in currently. It has merchant adoption behind it and media attention whereas alts don't. They're just essentially for people who missed the bitcoin boat and want to try find the next big thing.

for sure there are going to be the next big thing. maybe not as big as btc cause btc has become the standard or gold of the cryptos
but for sure there will be coins which is valued under half a dollar and can reach maybe 10 dollars each. that will still be a lot of profit

Yeah I think so too. A few alts will make it.

[SaulGray]

From the current list I would say NEM, Bitcoin, and maybe counterparty.

It's hilarious how few votes paycoin has. PayCON should be put on the list, it will get more votes

Bitcoin and Next will continue to emerge and develop into a more user friendly application

Bitcoin and Next will continue to emerge and develop into a more user friendly application

the NXT wallet is kinda slow and laggy in weaker laptops and pc's tho.  their devs should work on that if they want wider adoption.

Think the list is missing some great coins!
Check out the votingresults from POH (coinssource)
You see some great devs there and their coin are missing here!

Using Bitcoin as payment is the worst Idea ever.

That's why NXT is releasing Monetary System tomorrow. That way you can create currencies backed by NXT and spend them instead of NXT.

[Jungian]

Anyone who doesn't answer BTC is obviously deluded and pumping their altcoin.

My delusion is with XMR though.

You mean compared to Bitcoin?
Where a cold wallet might take hours to catch up on a few weeks?

Bitcoin keeps getting hacked because BTC cold wallets are unusable.

I've never seen anything "slow or laggy" with NXT, it's fast and slick...
Now doing > 100 transactions/minute and nowhere near capacity.

As the Monetary System comes on line in about 24 hours...
People can now launch an Alt using the Nxt API = Game Changer...
There will be 100s or 1000s of currencies created in the next few weeks.

The flood of NXT Alts created will trade on a NXT Currency Exchange...
And picking the few winners will be like hitting the jackpot.

hahha nxt vs btc dont hate/fight! switch to vior,sbit,sdc hahahaaa

[jheaton]

potcoin 

[virtfund]

Darkcoin seems like the most likely to survive under any circumstances. Even if bitcoin and the other altcoins die do to lack of interest or a regulatory crackdown, criminals will still need a way to transmit money anonymously online.

[forlackofabettername]

i see, uno still flies under the radar

[MartiniBlanco]

I go with NEM.

Can you explain why using bitcoin for payment is the worst idea ever? As a currency isn't that exactly what it's meant to be used for? I don't see how creating more currencies is a solution to anything either.

[DigiByte]

In engineering, fiction, and thought experiments, Unobtainum is any fictional, extremely rare, costly, or impossible material, or (less commonly) device needed to fulfill a given design for a given application.

Unobtainum's price today is 2.27USD/Unit, maybe it will rock the boat soon, stay tuned

[Q7]

I only believe in coins that have the strongest community support and that are nonetheless bitcoin and dogecoin. Forget about technology it's the people that is supporting it that makes the difference. Too bad I can't select both at the same time in this pool

[insidertradingeverywhere]

bitcoin suffers decay and now a hardfork for more blockchain bloat should be coming https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=919629.0

Megalomaniac bitcoiners are loosing it. Bitcoin is done.
