Jason, if you’re liking IntelliJ, then you should probably check out phpStorem. phpStorm is based on the IntelliJ IDE, and brings a lot of the same auto-complete and debugging capabilities to the table. Obviously auto-complete for PHP is a bit less consistent than strongly typed languages like Java, or the .net platform, but it’s still really handy. I’ve been using phpStorm for over a year now and love it, it’s one of the few development tools I actually pay for and don’t mind doing so!

Ok, the past few weeks have been insane for crypto, most every coin quadrupled or more so that makes it a little tough for me to confidently tell you I think a certain coin will rise. There are a couple coins though, that I believe will end up becoming very popular, and going up a lot more than they are now. One problem, is that China came out and said that no virtual currency can be accepted by a company for payment of goods etc. With that being the case, I am not certain that any of the coins other than 2 or 3 will ever amount to anything in the long run. If other countries around the world come out and say that you can’t purchase goods with crypto, then they are technically not a currency, they are a virtual commodity, and there is really no reason to have 80 different cryptos… On the other hand if a lot of the other countries come out and say you can spend crypto, there is a lot of room for more currencies to flourish. Here is my list according to the coins being accepted as currency.

1. Worldcoin
I believe wdc is still undervalued It has a catchy name and a lot more room to rise. It will end up having 230 million coins, as opposed to BTC’s 21 million. So it has roughly 11x the amount of coins that BTC will ever have. Theoretically, it could eventually be around .09. Right now it is .0008ish, so that would be an astronomical increase. I can’t say for certain that it will ever be anywhere close to that price, but it is possible. WDC has very active develpers, and a very professional website. That is a big factor as to how most traders and exchanges look at a coin as legitimate or not. worldcoinfoundation.org

2. ANC
It’s kind of bad, but once BTC becomes a lot more regulated, and they find a way to easily trace who/where they are from I believe ANC will skyrocket. It is called Anoncoin (Anonymous coin) and it has a scrambler that scrambles all the coins and addresses when they are sent, making it impossible to trace. I think this coin will be used on the darknet once BTC becomes a lot more traceable. It will only have 4.2 million coins. Right now ANC is at .007ish. I believe ANC could go much much higher, especially if it is on an exchange with much higher volume than Cryptsy. anoncoin.net

3. LTC
Litecoin is the second most popular coin out of all of the cryptos. A lot of people refer to LTC as “silver”. If you look at crypto as a commodity (which in my opinion, is what it is), Bitcoin is Gold and LTC is Silver. Litecoin will have
84 million coins or 4x the amount of BTC. LTC is also popular enough that I would not be surprised to see it very close to 1/4 of whatever price BTC is. LTC right now is .034ish, so I believe it has a lot of room to grow… .15 would not surprise me at all before the end of next year. litecoin.org

4. NET
Netcoin is a newer coin out, and has not really caught on yet. I am holding a fairly large amount of NET in hopes that it will gain popularity in the coming months and years. There will end up being around 320 million NET, which is roughly the same amount as FTC. FTC was trading at .001 just a couple of weeks ago. NET is currently trading at .00000800…. So… as you can see it is nowhere near what FTC was trading at. In my opinion NETcoin is a much beter name than Feathercoin. lol It is also 2.5x as fast as FTC for transferring the coin. The developer of NET also seems to be extremely active, always trying to get net accepted by as many sites and companies as possible. I am actually thinking about taking this coin under my wing and paying for someone to redesign their website to make it look nicer, and maybe redesign the coin logo itself. I think if the website and coin can look more professional, I believe it can match or beat FTC in price. I would like to get 1% of all of netcoin and hold them till they are $0.50- $1.00 each. I am holding 665,000 of them right now, and my goal is to hold 3.2 million. I am hoping NET will crash down further so that I can scoop up as many as I can. netcoin.org.uk

I hope this helps, there are a lot of other coins that I think will rise a lot, but Net would obviously make me the happiest.

Oh, and great show as usual! 😉

Otherwise, you could take your bitcoin and deposit it into http://bter.com/ and trade for dogecoin. I have been playing around with day trading it and made a little dogecoin. Mostly im doing it because its a cheap way to see how trading works and its fun!

Great episode, J&J…thank you!

BTW if you both post your Dogecoin addresses ill send you a nice surprise 🙂

Now that I think about it, Justin should start an “opposite fund”, where he makes the exact opposite trade of whatever his gut instinct tells him to do. Now I’d invest in that! 😉

As a fan of the Walking Dead I can’t recommend the Walking Dead game created by Telltale enough. It’s one of the few licensed properties where the writing equals or betters the quality of the original. There are 5 ‘episodes’ in season one and each episode is about the length of a single movie. The focus in on making tough choices more than puzzles or anything else. Especially in the later episodes they drop the other elements and focus exclusively on the hard choices.

It’s available on pretty much every computing platform: mac and pc desktops, ipad, video games consoles, etc.

It’s not often that you would recommend a game based on the quality of the writing in it, but this one is truly one of the exceptions.
