Devcoin is by far THE BEST coin to buy for noobs. You can get like 20 for 1 penny right now, and they could go up to 1 penny each in the next 3 months. Plus, they have once been worth $10 EACH, so at 20 for 1 penny it's a great investment.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=210366.0Are you sure about Devcoin? It's been around long, and suffered a massive price drop... I had a feeling that the community that was once behind it might have lost some faith in it, and that resulted in the reason why it's worth next to nothing now....
No the same people that have been around for Devcoin are always there, it's just that no one makes new threads, or videos or posts on other forums (very much) about it.
All it takes is for ONE well known charity, or ONE semi-well known video game to pick up Devcoin for something, and suddenly (since there is a use for it) coins that aren't worth shit, will be worth a penny or more each.
Same as ANY and EVERY coin. As soon as people start making ways to USE the coin, then people will want it.
Right now I think the only use for them is to buy advertising on Devtome.
