I hope we get some Bitcoin ATM machines here in the uk next year. That would really help promotion and legitimise it with the public.
I want to see an altcoin atm if that were to happen then everyone would realize how real this all is and more people would feel like they could establish their own bitcoin brands
Altcoins will forever be worthless, there's just no way you can get a large amount of shops to accept dozens of Altcoins. At the most they'd accept bitcoin and lite coin. (And lite coin is a stretch already)
They're not worthless, as people are obviously using them and are prepared to accept them in exchnage, but their mainstream use depends on whether they become accepted by merchants. You can buy stuff online with Feathercoin and Peercoin etc. You can also swap them for BTC easily enough, so they're not worthless per se.
Like a said there's no way a merchant will accept Altcoins, there's simply no added benefit of accepting dozens of different coins of the same kind, most aren't even compatible with each other.
Why would you have euros while living in America? You can swap euros for dollars before you buy something, and euros have value, but it's not handy to use a currency that is not accepted anywhere near you.
Altcoins are just trash
