Coins that TOTALLY could push Bitcoin to the next level

Great topic!

Its a new direction in crypto and a welcome sight to see coins out there that do something more then just have a following.

Ive been a big fan of Devcoin for some time, its a great platform for developers, writers and artists to show there work and get support for there efforts.
Carbon coin is based on actual carbon sequestration programs that mitigate the environmental effects of crypto mining with real world environmental projects funded by its community.


All of these coins add value and legitimacy to the crypto community by bringing in people who otherwise wouldn't be using crypto currencies into the market.
The road to mass adoption is itself, mass adoption and for that we need diversity, decentralization and tangible concepts that I feel these coins represent.

Anything with a country or place name is a moronic idea. It defeats one of the main attractions of any good currency; being accepted by as many people as possible. Why would I use Californiacoin, when I could use Bitcoin, which is accepted by the rest of the world as well?

So, have people never accepted US dollars in another country?

Not really. Try to buy something  with 1000 "Tiyin"  in your town. Same if i try to buy something with dollar in my village...

I actually agree with Brilliantrocket. "Country Coins" like Spaincoin etc etc, are shitcoins. There's no use for coins like that, since Bitcoin can already be used all around the world.

Not yet, but Bitmark launched around 10 days ago and it's going very well so far. Check out this proposal for a social karma/tipping system based around using crypto(Marks, ie 0.001 BTM):

Has anyone made an Altcoin to finance a political campaign ever? Like "Suppot X Candidate by mining and donating X coin"

And someone should make a Joe Rogan coin, he would probably think it was awesome and it would get coverage on not only this forum, but it would probably get pretty good traction in the forum on JoeRogan.net and he would probably talk about it on his podcast at some point.

I was given a dollar once, but the bureau de change said it was too small a quantity to exchange and nobody else would touch it. It was just a piece of paper I couldn't spend.
