What Are The Best Altcoins To Look Out For In Cryptocurrencies?

[mentalic]

I am like the most of you I guess into LTC & ADA (also have a small portion in XMR & NEO) as a buy and HODL strategy, because I am mostly into long term and do not have the time to do trading every day.

My plan is to diversify as follows:

More Established coins (Big Market Cap)
- LTC
- ETH

Could Be The Future (Medium Market Cap)
- XRP
- IOTA
- ADA
- DASH

Speculative/Niches (Small Market Cap - Bigger Rewards)
- VEN
- REQ
- CSC

My plan is to probably hold these long term and then leave like 1k that I can do some day trading with.

Copy/paste from the long crypto thread, these are some of the top 3 coins I'm currently in and going under the radar. That's the type of coins I like since they tend to give the biggest multipliers
I was an original NEM (XEM) stake holder and got 2.25 million coins for .075 btc, 2.5-3 years later I sold for about 75 BTC. So I like to buy what goes under the radar. Chasing pumps usually leaves you holding bags and losing. Sure you can win sometimes but you have to be in early.

I'm going to point you guys to 3 alt coins I think will do amazing in Q1-Q2 of 2018. Not saying invest in them, but definitely check them out.

Syscoin - Aiming to be the crypto ebay/amazon. Rebranding should be starting soon. They currently have the "blockmarket" available to use inside of their coin wallet where you can already buy stuff using Bitcoin/Syscoin/Zcash with some pretty big retailers from Canada already listing SKUs and are working on bringing a web version in Q1 that will make it "grandma friendly". Amazing team doing big things going under the radar. Masternodes coming in February as well.

CasinoCoin - Old coin that had died a while back but recently resurrected as a non profit organization in the Isle of Man with some big names on board.
They are aiming to bring crypto to online casinos. Coin is currently going a chain swap from a litecoin based algorithm to ripple based for the super fast transactions. This will bring the coin supply from ~40 million to 40 billion. Currently only on 1 exchange and it will start trading the new coin probably at the end of this week. Heres some links on the people involved in this project.
Main team - Board of Trustees - CasinoCoin
Advisors - Advisory Board - CasinoCoin

As you can see they have a lot of people involved in the gambling industry.

Last but not least. BlockCAT - Aiming to be like the wordpress or app store of smart contracts. They will be releasing the beta of their platform very soon with the first smart contract being an ICO maker. All the smart contracts they release will be a drag and drop type thing so people with no programming skills will be able to use smart contracts. Super low market cap at the moment.

 

[Spstepp]

For you guys wanting to hold your coin, are you keeping everything on Coinbase/Binance or transferring that into a wallet or something ?

I'm using the Ledger Nano S and like it a lot. Got it from Ledger directly so there was a delay as it shipped from overseas but at least I know that it has not been messed with.

Thanks for the info. I’m already planning to buy CasinoCoin in the next few days but I was confused by the coin swap. So if I buy CasinoCoin right now, I’m not buying the new coin? It would be the old one?

I've been trading bitcoin since 2013, and trading ETH since the summer of this year (mining ETH as well on multiple GPU rigs), along with trading many of the alt coins with a multi-market auto trading bot.

Here is my take on the OP's question:
This is a highly speculative strategy, akin to penny stock trading, or venture capital investing i.e. invest in 15 different things, 14 of which will lose or at best, break even, and 1 of which will make more money than you lost on the other 14.


Here is how to do it:
1) Focus on the alts with the highest liquidity. You can get the list of alt-coins, sorted by market cap as a proxy for liquidity.

2) Look at the top 20 or so coins on this list. Possibly filter out coins that are too expensive. Expensive is somewhat subjective - it depends on if you insist on coins being cheaper than $10 or something because the idea here is to buy them really cheap, and hold them for a long time looking for that 10x or 100x gain as Bitcoin did.

3) find the coins that have something that fundamentally differentiates them from other coins and provides some value to miners, holders or people using them for transactions, etc. For example, ETH is ASIC mining resistant and has a contract component as part of its fundamental structure that differentiates it from BTC

4) watch these coins and look for a volatility breakout. Be wary of pump-and-dumps though. After the VB, see if there is any news on why there was a VB. Wait for the coin to start making new highs above the VB peak, and buy in. As a back up entry, buy at the highest historical high. The general idea here is to not waste money on coins that are not showing any signs of life. Avoid opportunity cost.

5) Hold them for a long time. Hold them OFFLINE and not in an "exchange". Use a paper wallet, digital cold storage wallet, etc. The idea is to protect yourself from another Mt.Gox type of event. Also, note that this means holding the coins 8+ years. This is not a short term trade. Recall the Bitcoin for pizzas story: 2 pizzas were purchased for 10,000 BTC back in 2010. Someone in 2010 bought 2 pizzas with 10,000 bitcoins — which today would be worth $20 million Today those would be $194 million dollar pizzas. That is some f'ing expensive-a$$ peperoni!

6) Exit strategy: I'm a trader, so I would attempt to time the exits at the periodic peaks on the way up. I would not cash out my entire position. I would cash out some so I can enjoy the profits (and redeploy them somewhere else), but continue to hold some of the coins.

 

[Kimmy XD]

I use a variety of wallets for a variety of currencies since some of them don't support some currencies. Definitely Bitcoin is a must have (but quite expensive). One other currency I mine is Dash (DSH). Namecoin is also promising (NMC) for those who would like to take advantage of selling Deep Web domains.

Well Alcurex was the exchange with the old chain CSC still listed and they started the swap so I think by tomorrow or Tuesday the new coin will be trading and since the coin supply is going to be x1000, I expect new price to be 2-4 satoshi at the beginning

VEN update:

Things are looking good with big news announced in the last hour.

[Jill]

I’m currently in a couple dozen Alts. But the most recents ones are ADA, GVT, WABI, TNB, CVC, SUB and the soon to be released ACAD (which is currently ICOing, and not yet trading).

The ADA returned more this week than my first 2 years out of college!! Crazy times. I’m not unloading it until it reaches at least $1.20. But that’s just MY target! Do your own due diligence, and be braced for the roller coaster ride!

One of the most recommended hardware wallets, the nano ledger, is a lot cheaper than that

Check it out, but they don't hold most ALT coins yet.

 

[NewManRising]

Any of you guys heard of Skychain? Thoughts? They are taking preorders now. What about Verge, Power Ledger, and Golem?

Litecoin made a monster run today [emoji41]

I've got holdings in the following:

EOS
ADA
XVG
DOGE
BCN
IOTA
PAY
WAVES
SC
DGB
OMG
XLM
XRP

They are all long holds with the plan being add to them over time. EOS particularly is blowing up right now and is up 33% just today. IOTA is the only coin on the list that is negative over the past 7 days, with all of the others averaging over 100% increases. Let's see if this frantic pace holds up.

 

[NewManRising]

My holdings are ethereum, ripple, cardano, syscoin, and I preordered some skychain. Also looking to buy some IOTA. Just waiting on my bitcoin to transfer. The thing is, I have smaller amounts spread over all these. So, this is set up more for long term holds. But I am considering pulling funds away from some of them to put a larger amount on a coin.

So based on what I know XRP is a great buy now as it is looking likely that Coinbase will introduce it. I have brought loads in anticipation. Monero is a great long term hodl, the tech is one of the best out there and it is looking promising to dominate.

 

[Martinv678]

Also Coinbase is not a great place to keep your currency... Coinbase is not a wallet – The Coinbase Blog

 

[Brissy]

HI Guys, Have Ripple,LTC and ADA. Will be buying few more. Portfolio tripled in value since a month.

For those who are leaving it in exchanges like CoinBase, don't do it. Can be hacked and also if there are forks,very hard to get the new ones like BTG with BTC.

Get hardware ledger<100$, or save it in coinomi or MyEtherwallet. Save the key and phrase in a very secure location.

Sorry for the newbie question, but if I put my coins on MEW I can still swing trade with them?

My wallet is getting itchy and I’m really tempted to go deep in on Tronix TRX. The founder just announced he was locking his 32bn coin into cold storage until 2020, effectively cutting 1/3 of the supply. This means that there’s less chance the market will flood and dilute and that the founder is in it for long run, not just selling his coin.

It went from $0.017 when I bought it on Thursday to $0.042 today. Still cheap, still plenty of room to grow. Chatter is an announcement could come out next week to pump it to $0.50 by Dec 31st...

I really like Shift and Substratum.

They are both trying to decentralize hosting by using spare resources from phones and computers instead of servers. The nice bonus is that that would circumvent the blockage or throttling of certain sites in countries like China or Russia (or in the future the US with the FCC repeal).

I don't know who will do it, but I'm certain that it will happen and if it does, the hosting industry is enormous.

Shift is developing since 2014 and has kept pretty quiet for the majority of the time. They haven't had an ICO yet and are planning to start spending money on marketing and release an operational beta in the coming month.

Substratum is fairly new (a couple months old) but has a prestigious team behind them. They also plan to release a beta the coming month, but just for testing purposes. There has been some controversy questioning whether they actually have a (working) product since there answers to important questions are often vague or non-existent. Nevertheless, they are amazing at marketing and creating hype, which resulted in them having three times the market cap, Shift has.


Personally, I believe Shift has the superior product. Adaption is a giant factor though and Substratum is certainly better known.

 

[NewManRising]

Too be honest there are so many good coins out there. It's hard to have them all. I am even looking at Power Ledger because I like what they are trying to do. I also think the coin has performed well given the amount of time it's been on the market.

I was looking at this one too and got a little bit.

 

[jpmartin]

I left mine on binance. I know it’s not the safest, so I’m going to research more into wallets. I know I’m definitely not getting a hardware wallet, I have ~$500 in crypto, and the hardware wallets I’ve seen are $300+.

Unless you're planning to trade frequently, wouldn't recommend keeping on the exchange. Mt Gox was hacked when it was doing about 70% of all bitcoin trade. Option: Jaxx Wallet

 

[PetePreneur]

Sorry for the newbie question, but if I put my coins on MEW I can still swing trade with them?

If it’s in your My Ether Wallet, then I think it will cost you Ether everytime you transfer it to an exchange, so I’d just keep it in the exchange if you’re swing trading.

I'd say look into DASH or monero. DASH is up several 1000 percent in 2017. Whether that will last remains to be seen. But its focus on payments as opposed to store of value means that it will likely become a highly-used coin. It processes blocks much faster than Bitcoin, and carries lighter transaction fees. In other words, its market cap looks good going forward. As always, do a thorough investigation before buying anything!

 

[Dan_Fastlane]

hey, you should just think about this:

you know that it is easier for a 3 cent coin to go to 3 dollars, than it is for a $300 dollar coin to go to $30,000 same rise.

watch out for the pennystocks but not the shit ones. Good picks with reasons of technology and usage are Siacoin, Bytecoin, Bitshares, Golos, Tron, Electroneum, Redcoin(not sure about this one but it looks like they got new management), Cardano, Stellar, Verge, NEM, Ripple....
