Greetings from a newbie (U.K.), although with the help of a friend (U.S.) I do have a handful of Mastercoin and a handful of Bitcoin.
These coins are in my possession despite what I would have to call a conspiracy of techiness/bureaucracy which prevents those of us
with limited computer knowledge from being able to access these forums and buy/sell sites without considerable difficulty.
Anyway, that's not actually a complaint, more of a comment - I know it's consistent with the early days of any new system.
So my American friend is now of the opinion that I should increase my Mastercoin holding on the basis that the upside is more
exciting and imminent than for that of Bitcoin, although he implies that Bitcoin may be the slow and steady tortoise that wins the race.
One might be forgiven for thinking that Bitcoin is hardly slow and steady given the price fluctuations we have seen over the last few days.
My question after all this waffle is do other cryptocurrency specialists, partakers and observers agree with him?
Thanks for any thoughts, I am genuinely interested, this isn't just a newbie trying to fulfil the forum's rules
