Topic: Best performing "old" coins on the market? (Read 583 times)

So we have three coins to buy, and with that three coins, I think we can make a good profit later because bitcoin and ethereum will be back to the higher price, which can happen this year or next year. BNB can be the next potential coins at the market, but BNB needs to compete with the other potential coins, which still a mystery to find. Maybe we can take a look at litecoin, dogecoin, and dash too.

QTUM is a very underrated cryptocurrency these days. It's old, but still alive and running after all these years. Interestingly enough, QTUM is a smart contract platform like EOS, ETH, ADA, and TRON. But its popularity is down the drain. I guess that most people are focused on the big players on the market, than anything else. The rise of "De-Fi" and stablecoins' popularity has placed ETH and some other smart contract platforms in the headlines. QTUM is a hidden gem waiting to blossom someday with its unique features not found on its competitors. Same applies to NEO (formerly known as Antshares) and DASH. Prices seem to be getting lower over time for these coins. Holding "old" coins for a long time might pose to be a huge risk for your investment.

Nonetheless, there are many "old" coins on the market that have been performing well after all these years. Dogecoin is a good example of this, being a cryptocurrency actively traded across several crypto exchanges. Despite being abandoned in development and innovation, it has retained trading activity, making your investment last a lifetime. Litecoin, DASH, and Monero have been doing well too (although most other coins have experienced higher gains in price). If they're able to maintain mainstream adoption, they'll be able to survive for many generations. I'm currently "hodling" DASH, LTC, and some XMR, hoping they'll remain actively traded in the future. They serve as an alternative to a retirement account, if prices remain the same or higher than what I've invested initially. One thing for sure, is that investing in "old" coins brings many more risks than it's the case with newer ones on the market. I'd advise anyone to invest more on new coins, while allocating a small percentage of the investment into "old" coins to reduce risks as much as possible. Just my thoughts

Completely right. This two coins deserved it and most of the investors and supporters believe that there are more coming from
this two coin, but if you want to explore all over the market, you can also check those who are inside top 10 the chance of getting
the hypes after the bull run is really huge, buy if you already done with your  research.

I would still go for BTC and ETH. Ethereum's team is always active in development, and almost majority projects are using ERC-20 platform. I am sure there are a lot of old projects there which have their own pros and cons and advantages over the other. But, BTC and ETH will not be on their spot as top 1 and 2 of the market cap of they haven't proven their worth.

This is perhaps the only first generation cryptocurrency (other than Bitcoin) which has survived. Litecoin is not a technologically advanced cryptocurrency, but it has survived because the promoters listened to the users and made sure that the development work is done frequently and the bugs are removed on time. Other alts, such as Namecoin and Novacoin, which appeared in the market around the same time have all but vanished.

i doubt that OP is talking about OLD coins and ethereum is not that old compared to the example OP gives.

though your sets of currency is what i have holding now yet it wasn't OP is looking for.

I think i support the first poster in which mentioned MONERO because this currency is really old yet standing still in good position now.one of the best for long term holding.

But for OP,why need to look for older coins when there are good currencies talking about performance like ethereum and EOS together with Ripple?

Binance is one safe coin because this is one of the fastest growing exchange now so yeah BNB maybe one of the best candidate also.

Besides ETH and BNB, I think you can choose QTUM as your long term investment. They continue to develop the project, and also currently QTUM's price is cheap, so you can buy now and then hold it until 1-2 years later, see what you will get. I personally still hold some QTUM ss my long term investment.

Well, I agree that BTC and ETH are two of the oldcoins that are strongly increasing in this market. Those two coins have always been my favorite coins in the market since the time I joined. Besides, I think BNB is also a good one too. BNB has the benefits of its exchange - Binance, therefore, it can also be a good coin to expect!

From 17-18 projects my favorite project is Utrust with UTK token, it is lead by a very active team, the project has actual use cases especially targetting crypto payments and helping in afoption of crypto at business, retail and outlet level. They have already secured massive partnerships and deals and 2020-21 will belong to Utrust for sure. I expect it too be a high value hold and it can yield 50 to 100x gains if one can wait patiently.

The best performing old coins are

1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Neo
4. BNB

There are few coins from 2018 and 2019 that are now Mooning insanely, band protocol is one of them and follow by chainlink, dyor and chose wisely

That's certainly true, mate. But I have to admit that there are some coins that are unique, despite being so old in the crypto/Blockchain space. They've managed to remain actively traded on the market after all these years. Monero is a good example of an old coin that has stood the test of time. I remember when XMR was worth cents (in USD), only to be worth more than $50 a few years later. It turned out to be a good investment for me as I've managed to get in early. Besides price, XMR is very useful for privacy-oriented transactions. Everything is virtually untraceable giving you peace of mind over your hard-earned money. The only issue would be mainstream acceptance, since governments are talking negatively about privacy coins in general. Even now, some exchanges have de-listed Monero and several other privacy coins because of mandatory KYC/AML compliance. We might see further de-listings until privacy coins like Monero and Dash are used and traded "under the radar".

As far as old coins go, I think Dogecoin is one of the best performing ones on the market today. The community is still vibrant supporting it every day. The only issue is that there's no active development. But I often enjoy DOGE's low fees and extremely fast transaction confirmation times (compared to leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum on the market). Other old coins haven't been doing so well, leading them to being de-listed from every single crypto exchange in the industry. But their Blockchain networks are still functional to this date.



Glad to see someone mentions Decred as one of the best performing old coins on the market today. It may not be in the top ranks in market cap, but it's still "kicking" after all these years. The fact that Decred has an innovative approach to PoS, makes it undervalued in my opinion. It's a hybrid PoW/PoS cryptocurrency which gives it extra protection against 51% attacks. This, alongside many other exciting things about DCR (like Stakepools), makes it a great long-term investment.

I'm personally "hodling" Monero ever since I got into it in early 2015. Prices have increased astronomically since then, as there's been a surge in demand for privacy coins. While now ETH and stablecoins are getting all of the attention, old coins like Monero and Decred are still relevant these days. I'd say it's best to diversify your investment into new and old coins in order to minimize risks as much as possible. Just my thoughts

This is also my top choice when it comes to an old token that is doing great right now. Many surprised on how Chainlink worst and this project received many criticism for placing on the top 5 position but I think they improve well and they deserve to be on that spot despite of the hype. If you're looking for a more good coins then ETH and BTC is a good option as well making a lot of pumps in the history.

It is hard to say which old altcoin is going to be the next big deal in this new bull run. Traditionally, all coins experience low and high cycles which means that all even alts will go through their dump and pump.

However, I do agree that some alts are much better than others and their recovery may lead to large profit if invested at the right time. One of the coins I think is hugely undervalued at the moment is ETH. There are so many more shitcoins all based on ETH that get the pump yet ETH hasn't done that great - I do think this is upcoming, so here you go.

LOL! What coin is older than btc and millions of people still put their money investing in it, just because a project is old don't mean it is over and should not be invested on, between your post sound contradicting, am not sure what you are trying to say, how long a coin exist has nothing to do with performance provided there is a demand for it.

No doubt! BTC has been always doing very well! However, the best performing old coin for me is ETH. We all can see the incredible development and increase of ETH right now. The market is affected by the hype of ETH 2.0. ETH has always been my favorite since the time I joined the market. I'm choosing to hold as much ETH as possible right now because I believe it will incredibly pump!

The current trend for 2020 is decentralized finance otherwise known as DeFi and only small percentage of older projects support DeFi related products and the ones that did have performed really well recently.  For reference purposes, My idea of old projects are those that have been around for at least 3 years (and were around during 2018 market crash).

In no particular order:

1. EOS: It recently had a price surge after the CEO tweeted that EOS will unleash DeFi in the crypto space. There's no telling what would come afterwards. EOS has been in a long downtrend that started in 2018 so this seems like the start of something good.

2. Tezos (Xtz): Tezos has experienced some significant price increase recently. It moved from around $2 - $2.5 recently, touched around $4.4 before retracing a bit. It's worth keeping an eye on.

Honourable mentions include: TRX (12%+) increase today, ADA, Qtum, ATOM and Zilliga (This one has grown recently well since june.).

I cannot say a word about 'oldest' coins but my approach to old coins is like - Defi tokens and tokens which launched on exchanges are doing great currently and I don't see any losses if we invest in these old yet new projects instead of going for coins like PPC, NMC, DOGE, etc.

I will prefer the etheruem coin as my choice of a coin for the long time hodl. Etheruem has been performing very well with the upgrade you can expect more value to be added to it and this means that price will also increase.

Maybe you meant Underrated old coins? Because I see almost every potential old coins are in talk of the crypto town, so if you research the market, you will find many old coins are shining and then comes new Defi and Polkadot ecosystem's coins! Old coins like Utrust a coin from 2017, BNB, Chainlink, Cro, VET, ICX, Coti, XLM, ADA, Mitx and many others are doing very well and all the holders are recovering the loss of 2018! I would suggest you have a look at Coingecko for quick findings.

Talking about old coins I would limit my focus on those that has been around for a long time and have also proved their worth as well through the introduction of good uses cases, working products and services. To cut the whole story short, Bitcoin is always my first, others worth looking into are Ethereum, Litecoin, XLM, ADA, Monero, Dash and BNB.  Although there are others but these ones always caught my attention.
