If you want to talk about an actual currency to use or store of value, check out Monero. Although, I certainly would not encourage you to buy it as a speculator.

Thanks, I already have some. I think there is value in alternative cryptos with strong dev teams and desirable properties.

If bitcoin disqualifies itself through certain failings, second tier contenders hold value through their optionality as an alternative.

Check out Byteball too, its anonymity feature is fantastic.
