I'm wanting to diversify between a few different currencies that are on the cheaper side at the moment. (Doge isn't an option maybe if it comes back down a lil later on). PPC interests me slightly as its cheap as well, but I'm thinking DRK is going to be the big mover this time (unless theres a better coin than DRK now??) LEMME KNOW

TANK YEW

I am invested in DarkCoin. I am no early adopter and it doesnt makes me happy how dark coin started. Darkcoin is a pretty negative example of a launch and I see why a lot of people that missed still sees the coin in a negative light just for that.

However where people fail is that they rather complain and shout about their missed oportunity than analysing and weightening the current situation and do their investments based on that.

For a time DarkCoin was the only investment for me and I desperatly looked out at any new coin in this altcoin bubble to find any worthy company for diversification. I found none.

It changed with jl777's Supernet. Risky but very rewarding in case James delivers which unfortuntaly is really difficult to know. It's a matter of trust and you know trust is really not a good thing in crypto. I am carefully invested in SuperNET and everything that's connected to it (coins, assets, nxt etc) a lot stuff I never liked. Thats also what I see a lot do wrong. They base their investment in what they like and dislike instead in what might get value and what not. You can say I speculate on Supernet. In case it becomes real it becomes a major player and coins not connecting to it will loose in the long run.

LiteCoin has something DarkCoin still has not: Market. When you start with Cryptos the first thing you know is BitCoin the second LiteCoin.
This might change but I don't expect that to change that fast.

You know that DarkCoin offers anonymity however there is a much more important feature on it's horizon: Instant Transaction.
That is sort of a holy grail feature since it sovles one of the cryptos public acceptance issues.

There are a few point's that make it hard for crypto to find a borad band acceptance:

- The long confirmation time.
- The Gigabytes of blockchain
- The hard difficulty to convert Fiat to Crypto and Back
- The missing acceptance or even better the necessity of the coin to buy wares

So coins or systems that solves this problems is what I see will have a future.

Will Drk take second place over Litecoin?

I don't know. I don't think that this is important.

More important is does it have a bright future?
I think yes indeed it has. The development in drk is really very satisfyinga nd surpassed my expectations.

If it continues to do the right things I don't know how it can loose.

But you know in crypto everything can change really fast.
