Hi BitcoinTalk,
I'm new to Bitcointalk but not new to cryptocurrency so I wanted to point out a couple of observations Ive made regarding alt coins.
Floating point numbers in modern computers can go up to 2^53 or aprox 9.0x10^15 units... after this point the numerical system goes haywire (google it).
Bitcoin is 2.1 x 10^15 units, at 21,000,000 bitcoins divisible to 0.00000001 and Litecoin has 8.4x10^15 units (which is uncoincidentally close to the above mentioned limit)
In simple terms therefore DO NOT put money into any coin with more than 90,000,000 coins divisible to 8 decimal places (Quark, Dogecoin etc) unless you are a speculator playing the pump n dump market well as by definition its dead in the water.
Care to elaborate more on this topic ?
Why can't such coins reach the top of the foodchain in cryptocurrencies ?
I'm genuinely interested in the explanation. Quark seems to be holding quite nicely and according to you it shouldn't.
