I think LTC will double up again this year. So if a double up is good for you, then LTC.

all in monero

I personally don't invest in something I don't believe in, or tend not to. I am staying away from LTC even though there is hype about it.

I see it has dipped quite a bit, could be a decent buy but what is special about it?

Follow the fundamentals :

25% split into

BTC - Store of value
XRP - Currency
XMR - Privacy
ETH - Smart contracts

I certainly would get into Lykke. A good and serious project that will pump like crazy when it's token gets listed on big altcoin exchanges or becomes THE altcoin exchange.

ETH, maybe if the price went down a bit. So a safer buy would be possible.
Some of the projects that utilise ETH are probably better.

FCT, I'm simply waiting for it to go down more. Way more upside on this coin than ETH in a one or two years term.

AUR (yes, Auroracoin), simply because it always moons again.

I have a good feeling about the Taas fund, but we'll see.

I will not invest in:
BTC I try to stay out of. It's an old dinosaur by now and I don't think in time it will even survive as a store of value. First tries on new concepts usually end up being replaced. A good example of that was Napster.

I'm not rich enough to be satisfied with doubles and triples, so LTC doesn't really interest me that much. Plus it has been on a declining trend for a long time. I also don't think it's going to be the future of cryptocurrency. It resembles it's predecessor too much.

Yes I agree with ETH, 100% going in on that. You really think FCT can grow that much? As far as AUR goes... I mean it's nothing special but there hasn't been a pump on it yet... so we could just buy and wait ;D.

From what I gather, without being a techie as such, is that Factoms are used for storing information in an unalterable form and can thus be extremely useful for institutions and companies that depend on preserving data, for example to use in contracts like ethereum provides. Considering how useful efficient and secure data storage is to large corporations who deal with a lot of incoming information in all forms, I think the market cap should be up there with Ethereum. But Factoms are not as applicable for small companies like we currently see in crypto. Creating trust through having smart contracts is a much bigger thing in a lawless world as cryptocurrency currently is. However, when blockchain tech grows out of it's childhood cradle and into mainstream application for all kinds of uses, Factoms will catch up and maybe even grow bigger than Ethereum.

If you had $10,000 to leave for a year... I would leave it in Waves. Waves has a good solid platform, and they are working close with Ethererum. I could see Waves giving a multiple times X return in a year.

None of that crap.  In fact if you were to hand me $10,000 today,  I'd buy 1.5BTC and put the rest in the stock market.   But no way in hell would I buy eth or any other crapcoin.  1 year is way too long of a holding period for that sort of risk.

I would wait some days till monero s LL and start getting up again. I would put most of the money in monero, it has big volume, great community, top support and many updates will follow.
Also investing some amount in BTC won't be a bad idea. LTC and ETH for short-mid time investments will also be a good idea. But keep in mind that most TOP altcoins, besides monero, are ATH, so they may go down soon. ...i would wait some days/weeks for altcoins.

These coins are definitely a safe investment.

I would also invest a small amount into some random coins and hope for a large return on one of them. 

Are we talking about a sure thing or trying to hit it big? Risk vs reward.

I won't be going in on XMR, XRP or BTC.

My main stack is in ETH, I use the rest to play around with for short/mid-term holds.

NEM, Syscoin, Bitcoin and maybe Ark.

Byteball and factom.
Im betting on them

Gulden has been giving well over 100% ROI every since 2014.

Coin hit a low of 65 sat in 2014 and today is steady at 3200 sat and much higher bitcoin price 3 years later. Next year with all the projects coming out I am expecting 10000 sat for Gulden.

There will probably be some pump and dump coins that will offer better returns though if you trading actively.

u guys really think of investing in eth??
it was 10 usd 2,5 months back now it is 60 usd.
i mean i not paying 6 times more for only 2.5 months.doesnt sound that logical to me.
i am pretty sure there ill be a mini(or maybe a major) collapse in ETH soon enough.

@tamilee

i have also read a lot of nice things about gulden lately.and thinking in investing.
i mean it is a dutch coin do we have to say more :)

The price is rising too fast. But if there is good development, the price will rise further.

4k posw (monthly dividents + price rise 1000x)
4k insane (mn income + price rise will 100000x)
2k eth (rise+stability)

zcoin
syscoin
waves
stratis

these coins might get you $50,000 after 1 year

There is a lot of Dev activity with ETH, but if it was my money, I would stick it into old faithful - bitcoin, simply speaking, it's status is the real key to its ongoing success. The masses have heard of it and that make's the key difference between it and most other cryptos. Also if you want to swap between currencies, then BTC is almost the default base currency on all exchanges, meaning it's popularity and value is not going to go away anytime soon.

Depends on how much I would need the $10k afterwards :D
I mean, if I can take a bit of risk, then I would put it in BURST. That thing has been just going up for the last two years - and still has lots'a room to multiply in value.
It's a bit risky though. So if I would have to safe-bet, then I would go with BTC.
I don't really see the point of ETH. It's neither safe nor does it have much upside left. Nor can it scale well.

To expand a bit: If ETH could rise 4-fold, then it would already be higher than BTC. Which is an ridiculous proposition. It has yet even to offer any use beyond programmers playing around. It wouldn't even be able to handle BTC's amount of transactions without running into size issues.
BURST and all the coins around there in the area can rise 20-fold and still wouldn't even be in the top 10. So even splitting between a bunch of promising ones to mitigate the risk would give more potential earnings.

Added NAV and ARDR to the list. Thoughts?

All in Monero.

ETH is already pretty high now, but sure I'd still add some to it. The rest I'd hold and wait for the "next Ethereum" to come. Right now, there doesn't seem to be any extremely eye catching investments in crypto aside from the numerous ICOs that you can dump right after the initial buy.

I would check out Janus if I were you, it will be good longterm and you get dividends while your investment get's a higher value. Good luck finding the right gem  ;)

All new tech - XRB, Byteball, IOTA

i think i will choose etc, eth, nav, fct, and more coins because i see that altcoin have good chance to go up like bitcoin. and i think for the coins that i listed, there are any good trend for up so i will holding for 1 year if i have more budget like $10,000. but for now, i think i will only buy etc and nav because my bitcoin is not enough to buy more coins.

I'd have to say either DogeCoin or LiteCoin. The amount Doge has gone up is staggering compared to other alts...

With what has been coming the easiest way to bring back better would be to mix a couple or diversify some wealth into stocks or bonds.

For me that would be Ethereum, without any doubt, but I guess that it is too late as the pump that was waiting to explode already exploded. But I think there is more space for another price increase in the future with PoS transition in the future, so just wait it calms down and all will be fine for your wallet.
