Can you imagine a world with hundreds of viable digital currencies? I can, and that's what I expect will happen in 3-5 years time, and some of those currencies exist today, and they're basically worth peanuts today, just like bitcoin was in 2010/11.

the key to alt investing success is research & reading, and many here don't bother with that, so they judge all alts as being similar when many aren't. NXT started as an alt, and most said it was a scam, but they were clearly wrong.

the risk/reward profile for alts makes them profitable for scammers, but also profitable for people willing to wade through this damn forum
