Topic: What to invest in long term - page 2. (Read 2837 times)

If I should have a long-term investment view on altcoins, the coin I will invest is litecoin as currently, among the old coin is at it accumulation cycle. I do expect litecoin to trade above $150 before the end of this year, especially, if they can succeed in segwith activation.

As what I've observe Nem is a good choice it is not over price and when btc went skyrocket Nem did not crash that much like what happened to other altcoins specially Ripple.

I still think this is a dead cat bounce that's going to roll over in the next 5 days. I would stay out of cryptos unless the coin has a really low valuation that has been stable or has lots of potential. Although I love NEM I can't honestly recommend any top 20 coin here.

I'm thinking Xtrabytes which has already been mentioned, or Ark.  If the coin has gone parabolic the last couple months and has gone up 30X like dogeshit in the absence of any unique tech and active development, avoid the coin.   Everyone always think's that "it's different this time" when in a bubble... and almost universally they end up wrong. Of course it's possible we have not hit the top of the bubble yet... it will take massive buy volume to push bitcoin to a new record high vs having it roll over and have a margin call induced crash.

I personally believe NEM will take the number one spot and replace bitcoin as the medium of exchange all exchanges use to transact with altcoins within 2 years, however.  Once they release Mijin it will take off.  No more waiting 30-45 minutes for 3 confirmed transactions and big fees. However the more I dig the more I see there are a dozen alts that could do the same thing as any of the top 10 coins, because of the whole "open source" thing... which is why I'm glad NEM and Xtrabytes have not opened up all their source code for everyone to copy yet.   Seriously how many smart contract coins are out there now?  25 to 50?   As for the decentralized marketplace (bitbay) and cloud storage (siacoin) I don't see big demand until wallets are released where you don't have to download the whole blockchain.   Coins like NEM which have supernodes and nano wallets already take care of this.   Also I'm just not into 100% proof of work coins, period.

Search on some coins which have great potential in the next few months like ETH, NEM and other tokens that are affiliated with ETH too.

Ethereum and Golem are denifitely worthy of long term holding. Don't think they are expensive, they still have very big potential like XRP and NEM.

Alt coins are extremely volatile. So long term investment might be risky. But you can try LTC ETH DASH XMR. They have a strong development team and a very good potential. BTC is always on the list too   

I said bitcoin in the balloon.I think this decline will continue.The most inconvenient to stay in cash

You already have waves, that's what I want to hold not for only 6-7 months, good choice. Many Altcoin now already dump so this is the right time to buy Altcoin. This is  what I want to buy and hold for many months XEM, XRP,LTC,STR,CLAM, CRB, EDG, and HMQ. But of course invest at your own risk, do your own research regarding in this coin.

Nice that you allready have waves, i would suggest similar coin - for platforms - Stratis. Also Iconomi is a very good coin with unique niche (assets managment). And Darcrus, which acts kind of like a stock. Based on the company profits, coins get burned, which results in higher price. All of these are my pick for long term.

I'm on the Bancor train. The ICO doesn't seem that popular (yet) but I really like the concept. Time will tell...

Top 20 coins in the marketcap. But seems like the bitcoin, ethereum, and another project which has provided you with a good track can be determined as a promising project.

6-7 months included in the short-mid term investment.

With the latest message from the charts and it's a good decision for you.

Aragon, Gnosis, Bancor, Coindash all of them are good projects.

Safe and slow... stratis

bitcoin is in the balloon. I have made good profits from Eth

I think in 6 montsh time we will be deep in a downtrend and most coins value will be lower then now. Maybe push that time limit to 2 years and pick few solid coins and buy.

BTC, ETH, MGO

gnt, ardor, aragon, exp, insn, eth, btc

it seems beautiful. What should be the target? How much risk should I throw?

There are several coins you can lay your hands on and they have potentials as well but I will only like to add that you should be sure you are taking the decision on your own rather than been pushed towards it or influenced towards it because if the outcome is the opposite of what you had in mind, you bear the loss all alone and no one to be a partaker in it.

You can have a look at XBY, the coin is getting hyped a lot, especially on exchanges, just like Ethereum supporters did all the time. The coin is in 200-300Satoshi range already. You can look at it here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-xby-ann-xtrabytes-because-the-blockchain-can-be-better-1864397

In that case go for the biger market cap coins BTC, Dash, ETh etc...
