      If Bitcoin is gold, and litecoin is silver, then this analogy is an obsolete relic of a not-yet bygone era in which we allowed rampant inflation to destroy our wealth and consolidate our power in the hands of a select group of greedy individuals who would use it to destroy us.

      If gold and silver are the way we quantify value, then Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Feathercoin are the challengers to the way we think about how to properly value things (hint: It’s not using gold and silver).

        Did you legitimately ask which of the crypocurrencies is a radioactive isotope used in bombs and reactors?

          [/quote]I completely understand and agree with your point, but, please bredrin, it’s just a bit of fun to see what the community says, and garner how people symbolically link the comparisons with the various coins out there. e.g. plutonium=ripple

They’re as serious as having a heart attack while pretending that you’re not scared of the unleashed pit bull hurtling towards you without a muzzle.

              Instead of elements, which should just be analogised by the coins production parameters.

              (Production rate * Client usage ) = Elements in order of rarity.

              Client usage can be estimated by the number of transactions per block, if you want to analyse other coins, In future (when coins ar mainstream) it will be a good guide to the success of the coin.

              What about if Bitcoin were a Kangeroo, what animal will Litecoin be?

                      Hand waving. It’s very effective too. See how well it works? We’re still talking about it.

                                      Agreed. Although, it’s sort of more like **** waving…considering who’s doing the waving…

                                            This begs the question. What coin is the echidna? Echidna’s give the honey badger a run for their money, but are horribly both antiquated and terrifying in evolution.

                                            Also, i would think the feathercoin might be something like an eagle or an archangel or penguin, kiwi, hummingbird, winged elf? Not all combined…
