Let's say Bitcoin gains a significant level of adoption and the price stabilizes and plateaus for an extended time.
From an investment perspective, it makes MUCH more sense for a very wealthy investor to start a new crypto, mine a ton of it, and market the hell out of it. Is it not only a matter of time before we see this happen?
This is exactly what people are trying to do on a day to day basis with all the new crappy altcoins. And the coin you might be eluding to is the maxcoin, right? Marketed by Max Keiser, who claims that his coin is going to take over bitcoin? Not likely. I wouldn't buy his coin.
