I am a strong supporter of bitcoin, I just found a another mousetrap.  In many ways by posts on alt, led to some of the ideas of NXT and Ripple.   Go look back at my old old posts.  Bitcoin does not have to be involved in the new coin and I expect someone within a year will start a capital coin.  One I may actually buy.  Bitcoin can still be used like Warren Buffett uses the dollar.

Imagine a motel chain and resturant owned by a coin, giving you a 50% discount as a shareholder if you use the coin to pay for the room or meal.
