Re: Will Darkcoin take second place over Litecoin next bubble?
Yup, This is the type of stuff I wanted to see by posting this thread, Thank you everyone you are making my day!!
Darkcoin always seemed like it was right up everyone's alley, I can't help but agree with toknormal/coins101. We got tons of free (albeit bad) publicity from SR to the point where everyone thinks its the anarchist's answer to anonymous currency, which we all know is only half the case. As long as you never attach a name to your bitcoin, and are very careful about the way you transact, yes you can remain for the most part anonymous. The media is constantly saying "bitcoin" the anonymous anarchist's currency. I really can't help but feel like the Darknet markets would utilize such coins to facilitate their billions of dollars worth of illegal transactions. Is there any Darkcoin markets utilizing this coin now? I'm sure most are still using bitcoin for what ever reason.
I think Darkcoin definitely brings something new to the table, something that Bitcoin supposedly brought, but we all learned later on that its only half the case. That is why I was seriously curious about DRK as I think it really could contend with LTC for second place due to these features.
Great points to make note of: DRK is almost independantly priced from LTC/BTC in the sense that when it rises, only it and its clones rise and normally doesn't follow suit with BTC/LTC - But if LTC/BTC start to rise, Why would DRK just sit behind?
I think we would be wise to buy DRK over PPC or any other alt that made it +15 on BTC-E last bubble (other than LTC, I still consider LTC a safe bet imo, but it is true now, that one line code changes are no longer going to suffice for alt coins, which is a GOOD THING!!!!)
I know there's some things people don't like about DRK - The way it was launched for instance, and above that was argued as the reason DRK doesn't have a future... I can't help but remember NOVACOIN was at like 30 fucking dollars each and everything about that coin is a scam... Even BTC-E got bribed with 250k NVC to add it to the exchange.
Innovation is Key and right now I think DRK has the most innovation - Unless anyone can point me in a better direction? Not too impressed with Monero, should i be?
Looks pumped honestly.
Question added: How effective is Darkwallet? Is something like Darkwallet enough to make Bitcoin completely anonymous and make DRK obsolete? (I know nothing of Darkwallet so forgive my noob questions here)
