Which alt, according to you, is the a good investment and why?

iota bro, iota.

Blockchain-less, quantum-secure, no fees, hardware support, microsoft azure

Yes, I took a look at it.
But, how do I buy some?

The Crowdsale is over now, right?

WBB/1EX

No guarantees but:

SYScoin: with a recent partnership with Microsoft Azure and the Beta 2 coming up within weeks, investing into SYS might yield considerable profit.

Ethereum: promising technology and hyped. Has already left all other altcoins (though technically ETH isn't a coin) in the dust but might further increase dramatically.

LISK: consider this a long-term investment. Technology is also promising but I'd say you won't see significant profits in the first 6 months after release.

Doesn't look that promising.

SYS: Yes, but with the recent pump, not sure if It's a good idea to buy now.

ETH: It's already 13$ & No cap on the no of coins.

LISK: Invested in the second week, but more than 3000 BTC already invested. :p

Yeah, I concur with ETH--you never know when it's the top, and it can probably rise a lot more.  Just look at the action we've seen in the past couple of months alone.  I haven't heard of the other ones here, thanks for the tip.

Remember you asked.  :D

BTC, LTC, PPC, DOGE, NMC and XPM. These all have staying power.

How can I invest into LISK? Where to buy?

There are not invest able altcoins now, this time is in past. Nowadays there are a lot of altcoins, in future may be every one will want own altcoin.  ;)

You can buy from their crowdsale website: https://ico.lisk.io/

Though I'd recommend you to wait for them to be listed on an exchange & then buy.

Haha.
You can create one for free using WalletBuilders, right now, as well.

Here's a link to their website:
https://www.walletbuilders.com/

for short term i personally love altcoins like ETH that are hyped so the pump is big and potential for profit is as big.
for long term only bitcoin and nothing else.

right now i am watching IOTA

Yes, IOTA's great.
Missed the crowdsale.

Will buy some as soon as it launches on an exchange

Lisk

Lisk is good, Also check out SEC, its a Decentralized Contract Market on the safenetwork, the network maid uses, here is the link for it http://discuss.safex.io/

SEC looks good.
But it already has a high market cap.

Not sure if it'll go up more.
There are too many coins in circulation.

At this altcoin market stage - altcoins can not give profit in short time period. Because altcoin market is not stable in short & medium time, with more and more new altcoins.  ;) 

Yeah there are so many alt coins that is being created every week so its really hard to tell weather they can last for months or not.

I only trade the altcoins which are at least 2 month old. Most of the new coins are scam coins. It is better  to avoid.

This service has made everything so easy if you have the funds you can create one for yourself and you do not have to study a lot of coding but this is just one pf the part marketing your coin will definitely needs a lot of time allocation

ETH look very good and the price is also quite promising.
ETH currently has a very high price, but unstable. is the same as bitcoin the first time, probably pretty good investment at ETH  :)

I have a theory.  That alt coins fore tell the future of bitcoin and now ETH.
Look at the ones that where launched in 2013-early2014. (must be at least ranked in the top100)
Almost everyone had a bubble up boom ... a long valley of despair ... and are now slowly but surely working back up in Market Cap.
Will they hit their peaks, maybe but not likely for a few more years.  But they are in the lows and will see highs.  Better returns than BTC if that helps.

The point is they have gone thru a half dozen market cycles.  And are 2-5 skips ahead of the BTC market cycle.  ETH, lolz.  Is just at the year 2013 bubble pop of BTC.  And doomed to test sub $1 supports. 

You want invest-able, the numbers are out there, stick with older alts that have survived.  Look at their charts.
And avoid high inflation ;)
  

Lots of opportunity to make steady profit. It may not be the big money you can make on a shitcoin pump but its safe money.  I would rather baghold an established coin than the shitcoin-of-the-day, soon-to-be-worthless coin.

LTC  -   that is all.

I like SJCX..

ETH = the only one that has REAL applications can be used  in REAL life

So far, Etherum is still in the early development stage. The price has reflected that. In the future, the price will rise.

Decred, because of true technological and governance innovation. You'll have to do your own research though, I only pointed the finger.

Does somebody consider investing in old coins such as NAV  ???URO ??? KORE ??? CLOAK?

Ethereum because it has a fast movement in market place.. also lisk has a possible that if they release the project it will increasing fast again just like they release it in exchanging site..  but for now just stay in ethereum because it has fast price movement.. buy cheap and sell high to make a profit..

Unobtanium (UNO), under value, long history, very low inflation, merge mining with btc, fair initial distribution through 2 year pow before merge mining. Look at the specs, it's a piece of art. Price should rise.

Try newer coins with a lot of upward potential I really like Raiblocks right now.

piece of art.

I think the Ethereum could be investable. it is still being developed. Next year, it will become PoS. That will be the largest PoS coin.

The Market cap of Ethereum is huge for a newbie coin. Although i am not sure it will last. If it will and it goes POS, I will make sure to have some,
POS 2.0 is the correct way to maintain supply & demand while keeping control over the network.

Try investing in Waves it has potential, it will surpass ETH and Lisk value in my own opinion ;D

GreenCoin will be soon. We are working on a web 2.0 release and then hoping for taking off as a carbon emission offset credit.

nah, i don't think investing in ethereum is good or wise anymore, it was a while back when it was still hot and bitcoin was not moving with its stable price .

but things have changed now, and all i can see is all the money that is exiting ETH market right now and moving to bitcoin and other alts.

maybe later when it becomes pos there is some action but these days unless a whale decides to pump it, there will be no rise and only fall.

Many old coins are coming back again and e can witness this through pumps on Bittrex. Do you even remember of NEOS? an i see this coin has risen almost 10x, this is fantastic for those old bagholders..

Everybody here talking about their own wishes, not about reality.

i am not going to say any names and will only say the criteria i am looking for in a good altcoin for investment.

for me an altcoin that has a good future ahead of itself is a a good investment. a good altcoin must have a good developers team which are always available and they are always improving their project.

if the altcoin has some real world application for it then that would be a perk too.

also having a good trade volume always shows people's interest in the altcoin and proves it is worthy of investment.

I'm very surprised with FTC i thought this coin is long forgotten! This mean you can't lose money with alts,
 if you dont sell under price. Just wait and someday it will be pumped.

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there.

Gridcoin (GRC) replaces mining with doing research for scientific projects, for example to cure Ebola (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/oet1/overview.do), fold proteins (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) or find aliens (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/).

From a user's point of view, he simply has to run simulations from the different projects using the BOINC software (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/). Then the network comes to a consensus, who has contributed how much computing power to BOINC, which can bee seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). In some blocks this consenus is saved in the blockchain and the reward one gets when staking a block is proportional to how much research was recently done for BOINC by this researcher.

Setting it all up has been quite complicated in the past, but the pool on pool.gridcoin.co has made alle this easier and already has more than 800 active miners/researchers (http://pool.gridcoin.co/rankings)

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
More information and tutorial to set it up here: www.gridcoin.us
 If you are interested visit our IRC: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.freenode.net:6667/#gridcoin

If you read about it on this thread, don't buy it. These threads are magnets for pumpers.

If there are any good buys out there at all, it will be something that you find, not something that finds you.

i give you right smooth! I wouldnt hear to this kind of threads also!

Some people here are posting their stocked alt coins in hopes that they could get a little minipump if someone gets interested with their coin. Guess what, you wouldn't get that minipump.

yeah i sometimes miss these pumps too. and in case of fethercoin it was so interesting because i opened my bittrex account and in my wallet page i saw a it is the second one sorted by btc value then i realized i was holding some feather without knowing and the price has gone so high, so i immediately sold them and enjoyed the profit :D

Adzcoin still going cheap...get in before it rocketssss

Already profited on ETH

LISK still speculating

So you are trying to say this is bad if we convince good old whales to pump an old cons that we have in old bags? ;D

FTC is almost dead yknow. The price is not increasing nor decreasing.

FTC owner is waiting for someone to sacrifice their FTC so there will be a pump.

BigUp should definitely be on the list

BigUp was designed for long-term success. We have achieved many things with our growing community and much more is coming

BigUp price is low right now and on track for a nice and steady return based on value and stake rate

AND... The BigUp community is great!

Not to mention BigUp inspired you to create that account. :D



Lisk's chart is looking pretty good in YoBit. Too bad I didn't have enough BTC atm to trade some lisk. I bet an experienced trader can probably make money out of this price fluctuation.

As mentioned before, Vcash.  

There is almost no invest able altcoins in the long term. You can gain profit from the short term investment but you need to get informed before everybody else. Altcoins come and go very fast. Pump - dump - then death. Only few altcoins can survive for a longer time. Dogecoin and Litecoin for example. These two altcoins maybe best for investment.

It depends on the continuous development of the coin. If there is active developers like Etheruem, it can be invested.

Who can tell you 100 % sure in which coin to invest and make profit? We always come back on same thing in order someone to earn money someone need to lose it. So everyone wish to make some nice and easy money on trading but how?

I follow several threads here, couple trader's on Twitter and from time to time I check news around internet. If I like something I try it with amount I can afford to lose ( I'm amateur trader) and not to regret later.

In this moment I have several coins that I like and I have some coins from each: ETH, dash, ltc. We can talk a lot about this coins, but you need to inform your self good ( like I did) and make your own conclusions, don't trust nobody when you invest your money.

I have recently bought some drz for me, developer is SOOPY developer of NAV coin.
 Price is so low, lower cannot be. SOOPY has never fail to deliver promised..

This is why BigUp is a great choice. BigUp stake rate was designed for long-term gain without putting too much pressure from an overabundance of coins

BigUp has been described as one of the best PoS coins to hold and stake

BigUp does have a premined amount of coins but those are being used for development of a long-term strategy to keep BigUp progressing indefinitely

This BigUp community is also very big and growing rapidly. Many developments and innovations for BigUp have come from the community so there is no dependence on any single person or entity

BigUp is unstoppable and invest-able... By design
