Look how successful Doge is.

Will LTC die?
IDK, i think its crap, and little interest to me. But hey, speculators watch the charts and invest in it.

NXT is one of the best platforms out there.

It should be well up in the top 5, but everyone looks to BTC and LTC.

Both are dinosaurs and I would love to see how they can operate in the long term with mass adoption.

Marketing is probably key, but that can cost money. And the the whole community has this responsibility to help in whatever way they can - dont leave it up to a handful of devs and complain that nothing is being done.

NEM belongs to you, as much as anyone else.

This doesnt apply to just NEM, but anything that wants to take on BTC seriously.
We need to target newbies who dont really know much about bitcoin.

Anyway, i hope the majority of shitcoins die soon, we dont need them.

CMC could do with a major cleanup too. That would help somewhat.

i see it completely different.

doge is a joke.

ltc is the best thing to come out of crypto todate (not that thats saying much). kinda a reason why tis number 1 alt.

nxt ......LOL i could tell u stories about that ..................................oh long stories

anyone who says btc and ltc are dinosaur hasn't really looked into the code.

funnily enough half the self titled 2.0s pretty much rehash crap we were talking about and long disregarded on p2p currency newsgroups long before bitcoin was launched.

just because somethings original code doesn't automatically make it better.

oh i do though agree with this point "majority of shitcoins die soon, we dont need them"....though every shitcoin claims all the others are shitcoins Wink

You're joking right? LTC has network affect as being the first BTC clone, that's it, nothing innovative about it. NEM is far more innovative, but obviously not as popular. As is ETH, NXT, Ripple, etc... The issue is that crypto by design will only succeed if everyone is spending, developing, mining on the same blockchain (much like the internet), regardless if that blockchain is the most "innovative". My argument is that Alts (including LTC) will end up dead unless they are pegged or have some kind of symbiotic relationship with BTC's blockchain.

firstly litecoin is far from simply a clone of bitcoin, on launch just minor twigs yes but its progressed somewhat since then, also when it comes to innovation here, we are talking currency not a trip to mars (dollars aren't too innovative, and they've been doing just fine).

currency is about trust, crypto might be cool and all in this backwater pseudo tech crowd, but to pretty much everyone else in the world, most coming out of this crowd has little trust.

litecoin atleast has a known dev, has the proven and sound innovation that are behind bitcoin, with way less negative baggage and no anon dev holding a billion dollar bag.

tbh any even (well almost) the shittest alt, could, if obtained decent adoptions levels become a usable currency, most these 2.0s have are a huge step backwards because of complete ignorance to KISS, which is what most the closet dwelling tech crowd are guilty of ignorance too.

hell even Bitcoin and Litecoin are way way way too complicated for average joe's.

but half the crypto crowd falls for the ol innovation to sell snake oil lines.

i live eat breath in the real markets of the world, as a full-time daytrader, never met yet another trader or any business associate who would touch bitcoin., let alone any of these 2.0 hacks.

i say litecoin is far from perfect in my eyes, its only slightly better, but then it suffers slighly less from what turns many off bitcoin.
