we seem to be driving toward ... who can name the best alt coin (or the one a dev is being part of) in order to get the word out.

Bitcoin WILL not disappear, since as mentioned along all of the previous posts, was the first, gaining World Wide acceptance, or at least someone heard of it... and as also explained in other posts, its mainly a corner-stone for all other alt-crypto-currencies to be able to exchange and persist in the market.

that being said... ppl need to start learning more about this newly and revolutionary currency we have at hand... and if you still think good-old banking , taking out paper-bills that represent (some vague) value for the country you are standing on... please do watch this, and think about it once more time: http://vimeo.com/57527797

I vouch for liberty and decentralized way of exchanging and handling money... and if you are still at it, saying that its hackable... that its being use for drug deals, and that it has no real value... please watch this last one video:

and if you still are doubtfull about this... bury your head in the sand... and let evolution do its thing..

Cheers

PS: I was not going to do this...but I thought it was worth sharing: Check BLACKCOIN, and this looks a whole lot more like a worthy and dependable alt-coin nowadays...
