NO.
The way to fight it is to stop using alternate currencies. Use Bitcoin instead. Spend it, accept it, etc. Unite all currencies together, show governments that Bitcoin can't be stopped, and we can restore alternative cryptocurrencies once the crisis is over.
United we stand, divided we fall.
I agree with this.
The alternate currencies just seem like, well, printing money. They devalue crypto-currencies.
I think sometimes they can be used as test cases but for the most part, they really should just be ignored.
I've not seen them solve any problems, they just exist because they can and serve no purpose other than to confuse.
I have seen them cause problems, Ripple looks to me like it is really sinister and takes everything evil about 1%er big bank economics and packages it in a crypto-currency. Ripple needs to be squashed.
Mostly though, I just ignore the alt-coins. They will go away whether I ignore them or not, so might as well ignore them.
