Hey BitCoinTalk,
I'm a brand new user. I've poked around at this website for a while, and I'm glad to finally be a member. I've been looking for a place to simply discuss my picks, and read about others picks and not have to worry about blatant shilling of coins that are nothing more than a cash grab.
I'll start with my first coin, SysCoin. I picked this up two days ago because I read that SysCoin was being implemented into Microsoft's Azure Marketplace:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/syscoin-joins-azure/
http://www.nasdaq.com/article/microsoft-azure-bringing-blockchain-closer-to-real-world-use-cm835914
So far, I have made about 20% back on that investment. However, that was more of a fluke and it seems the price is currently being corrected. Being adopted by Microsoft is huge, and that is why I feel so comfortable with this coin. Also, it doesn't hurt that Nasdaq.com reported on it!
My next coin, Storj. I made a small investment into Storj earlier today. Some of you may know who Kim Dotcom is, if you don't I'll briefly explain. Kim Dotcom is the founder and creator of Megaupload, one of the best (in my opinion) and biggest (fact) file sharing websites online before it was shut down. The past few months, Kim has been talking about Megaupload 2 in the works. Here is a video of how it works:

Now, if you pause that video at 0:41, you will see different options for different places to upload. Storj is the top listed platform, which tells that this new way of file sharing will implement Storj's technology a lot faster than most of us expected. This platform also allows for people to upload via Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, etc.
In the future, when an ICO is announced for BitCache I will definitely be picking that up as well. Kim has a history of shaping the way that the internet works, and I believe this is going to be another one for the history books. How this will effect Storj, I have no idea. But either way I think it is a really cool project that has been needed for a long time.
Anyone here currently holding Sys or Storj?
Seems like a nice start but you have to remember that while you have picked a couple of coins that have shown a pretty stable history most points will not behave that way, and you can't even guarantee that these two will. You can go to bed one night and get up 6 hours later and find that your portfolio was valued at X number of dollars when he went to sleep and now it's worth a tenth of that or even less.

Make sure that you have a firm foundation that you build from and you don't get too complacent counting on things not to get crazy. I dont know exactly about Storj but Syscoin has some great potential. The recent price decrease for Syscoin is just due to the fact that all altcoin were dipping because bitcoin is rising.
