Let me know your thoughts:
1. THETA (THETA Network Token)
I haven't studied this one, but i'll take a look at it later today
2. ADA (Cardono)
I've been interested about ADA from the start, but sold my coins too early and didn't want to enter back until lately.
I agree about everything you say and i see most potential in this on these 5 you mentioned. In fact most potential to fight 2nd place in the marketcap with ETH.
About that EOS reference: Just because Dan Larimer left his earlier projects doesn't mean that he has a shit track record, they weren't icos so he wasn't really obligated to stay.
Now i wouldn't technically trust a guy after such moves but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be brilliant on what he does.
Imho Graphene in Bitshares was brilliant and steemit was a good idea. But i understand the controversies on dpos system, and i can only lose defending that.
3. BNB (Binance Coin): Owning BNB is more comparable to owning shares in a company than most coin offerings, but even at $18.00 it is so undervalued. Binance is to crypto-trading what Apple is (or used to be) to the retail tech industry. Bigger, faster, and more creatively Binance's growth internationally will inevitably drive up the price of its own coin. This is true despite the fact that a large majority of users can't even access BNB (the US) without going through backdoor channels. Every other exchange just creates a platform and leaves it running. Binance is actually developing partnerships with countries, banks, and ICOs to offer a variety of offerings no other exchange offers.
While coin offerings are far away from owning shares, i can't see owning BNB comparable to shares either. This whole coin wouldn't exist without CZ charisma and presence on the crypto twitter. This whole exchange has a cult-like followers (which is always a good thing, so has Apple). He is easy to approach but i am having doubts after this

And with that twitter link brings me to your next coin DGB:
4. DGB (DigiByte)
Now i don't know anymore if i want to invest into a coin that has a founder as a spokesman who picks up a fight with CZ. Even if it doesn't need the founder anymore to thrive.
5. MANA (Decentraland):
I wish i had been in this from the start, now i've been catching up lately because i am heavily in to non-fungible tokens now and i see a lot of potential in this.
But as always, these kind of things are aimed for the masses but the bottleneck on the adoption will be the learning curve because the eth is still a strange concept for the public and most clients are like computers without a case; People don't really need to see what's going on under the hood and get all confused about it.
