[Cryptocurrency] Anything worth purchasing/monitoring?

So, following all the shit that's happened since Evolution relieved us of our BTCs and never returned it seems quite obvious that buyers and vendors alike are wanting secure decentralized marketplaces. It's also coming to much more attention that BTC may not be quite as anonymous as most of us believed. This has no effect on me, really - I don't move/buy bulk and am not particularly worried about someone tracing my BTC transactions as they are few and far in between and whatever I buy is just small amounts of personal use. BTC to me is simply just a way of paying for what I want, I'm not in it for anonymity - I mean, if vendors were accepting bank transfers I'd most likely pay that way because of the ease. However, there are other areas of OPSEC which I am more concerned about and do pay attention to.

Now, if a new decentralized marketplace opened and BTC was not going to be the accepted cryptocurrency (let's also assume LTC is out of the question) what is likely to take it's place?

The reason I ask is because I missed out on the BTC train - I first researched BTC when they were at $7/BTC but as I could not figure out PGP for marketplaces I never really looked back.... For some reason I bought my first BTCs at roughly $140/BTC and figured out PGP quickly after that. Since then, I paid anywhere from $140 - $820/BTC (wasn't buying when it was at $1000+/BTC) but for the majority of that period prices were between $550 - $750/BTC. This got me thinking about how much money I could've made if I used BTC as an investment back when I first researched the topic.

Now, with the thought that there may soon be a new popular cryptocurrency to gain value within the next 12 months it would seem like a smart idea to spend $100 or so as an investment as there is a very real chance this investment could bring a good return in the not so distant future.

I've been looking at ShadowCoin recently - It looks good and has some interesting differences from the normal (software and marketplace wise - not the coin itself) but I'm not so sure whether this is going to take off among the darknet or not. DarkCoin is another one I'm interested in...

In short, if you had $100 and were going to invest in a cryptocurrency other than BTC/LTC with the expectation that it would produce a reasonable return (let's say it will turn the original $100 into $200) within the next 12 months, what would you choose and why?

Syscoin is fairly interesting, being developed along side a decentralized market.

I would suggest NOT investing in crypto. Alot of true crypto traders will tell you the same thing. Get some medical cannibis stocks. If you must invest in crypto use BTC only. The rest are a joke. Just look at ltc it's a horrible investment btc has been on a down trend for years Imo it'll take years before it's above 500.

Best investment is to buy bulk drugs for cheap and resell. Faster money than waiting for the value of crypto currencies to rise.

The thing is if something like darkcoin's purpose is to buy illegal things.. then how do you explain buying darkcoin without saying your buying illegal shit?
