I would think the universe of people who are wary of Bitcoin, but would be interested in a smaller, lesser known alternative currency would be quite small.
AGREE! Bitcoin is established compared to others (litecoin, feathercoin, namecoin, PPC, etc...). To be wary of Bitcoin now is to be one of the IGNORANT people that continue to call bitcoin a fad or a scam...they're just mad they didn't hop on it sooner.
I think it's a fad but I don't think I'm ignorant. I do wish I had bought in at $5 and sold it at $200, but I'm not particularly mad about it; I tend not to invest in currencies or commodities.
That's where I personally am disappointed, same as you, I wish I had got in on it back in 09'...but the same can be said about equity in Apple or Telsa. -quacker
