This whole alt-coin thing is just a passing fad. I recently cashed out all my BitCoins and put the money into Beanie Baby Collectables. They're these cool stuffed toys that everybody is collecting these days. I was able to get a bunch of them at a very reasonable price range. Their value is bound to skyrocket in the future as more and more people get into it.
You should also look into the US Dollar- I hear people are going crazy over that one too... and since it's lost 98% of its value in the last 100 years it is bound to rebound any day now.
I don't understand why losing 98% of value over a 100-year period is supposed to be a pejorative. That implies a very steady, <2% rate of inflation per year, which is what allows wages to keep up with inflation.
