Just consider all the cryptocurrencies as private money, away from fiat. I like all the new alt coins, especially the ones that can be cpu mined which allows newbies like me to mine something without a huge investment.  Once this is all ironed out, I think there will be a cyrtpo coin backed by gold which all the central banks will use and people holding both mining shares and the crypto will do well.

I starting mining qrk about a week ago and I am having fun.
