I personally have some pretty high hopes for litecoin. And @remlaps comment regarding dev teams - exactly! The tech behind it really pushes things forward. I received 100 dollars fiat in the mail the other day for a gift and really started thinking about how Much that paper was really worth... Not much if anything. Why people still have faith in money that isn't backed is beyond me in a country that's how far in debt? It's absurd.
