If bitcoin is gold, and litecoin/feathercoin is silver...
-
Did you legitimately ask which of the crypocurrencies is a radioactive isotope used in bombs and reactors?
-
Yup! I was even going to ask
plutonium = ??
:)
(symbolic equivalences - I’m sure there are candidates!)
-
plutonium = ripple?

I like to think of Feathercoin as Bronze, and we are almost in the bronze age of crypto! Because nobody wants to make a shovel out of gold or silver, because they are too rare, but you can use bronze!

[/quote]This fits the logic well, also 3rd medal is always Bronze :)

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).

[/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?
