NXT/Ardor.

1. Smart transactions, business tools to enable crowdfunding, decentralized marketplace, asset management, decentralized communications (public and AES-256 encrypted).
2. Non-minable, you can earn coins running a node. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=587007.msg18818887#msg18818887)
3. NXT was an ICO a few years ago, Ardor tokens were snapshot from NXT distribution last year.
4. https://nxtforum.org/nrs-releases/  releases are very regular. Team: https://www.jelurida.com/team
5. All coins are created at the beginning, no emission. NXT has asset exchange and monetary system to create tokens. Ardor will have child chains and asset exchange/monetary system within child chains to create tokens.

now that every alt is pumped i'm holding many altcoin, i think miners ar enot dumping anymore like before, they are all holding makign the value raising so much, it's better to hold as many as possible for now, great probability for a big return, out of 10 alt that you hold at least one will do 10x, and this mean that even if you lose on all the other, which i find it impossible you still have your money back
now i'm holding

hodl
spreadcoin
veltor
bitcore
picoin
atomcoin

Well this is not a coin but an erc token that I will definetly hold for future. The token can be used to make payments at any NFC store and the one good thing, whether the store accepts crypto or fiat, it doesnt matter.... It will be releasing in summer.

I will definitely hold ETT tokens.

-Because it didn't have premine.
-The cap for the fund is very small which means only few tokens will be release on the market.
- Telecommunication is on uptrend so this coin has a great potential on telecommunication market.

apart from bitcoin, nothing!

i have tried to convince myself to invest in an altcoin for long term and i have found many that satisfy many of the things you mentioned here. for example there are coins like monero or even litecoin that have real use cases, have no premine or other scammy things, have a good developer(s).

but investing and hodling for long term needs to be profitable enough to warrant that kind of decision. and none of these are even good in the long term. they rise up in less than a month and then fall back down. so what is preventing me from staying 100% in bitcoin, get in one of these while they are rising and get out with profit? instead of letting my bitcoin stand idle in one of them for a long time until they maybe rise or not.

Monero  https://getmonero.org/home
BitCrystals https://spellsofgenesis.com/
DataBits  http://www.augmentorsgame.com/


AUGMENTORS game is not live yet so sort of DataBits are not of real use. For now!

Im going to buy some LTC, hoping it gets going down so I can buy more. Reason: segwit enabled, lightning networks, real use case to make fast payment transfers.
POSW: Real use case to stake tons of coins at the same time, and some of those shitcoins sometimes pump so Poswallet will be a good tool for speculation.
ETH: People love to pump it from time to time.

The answer if NONE. I learnt my lesson back in 2013 - alts either pump and crash for good, or they go up and down in massive occilations. My advice is that if you have bought an alt and it's in good profit, take those profits.

...and then beat yourself up when you realize you could have earned much more by holding than selling for a few slices of pizza.

It's not 2013 anymore, crypto as a whole is way more popular so there's room for alts. And you can't do everything with one coin anyway (e.g. BTC is not good for very small transactions).

There's good money to be made in the speculative world of alts. As BTC moons, alts will go really cheap. Sooner or later, BTC will correct, then those alts will go up. Once they go up and you get a good profit, you sell. Result: You end up with more BTC. Now you wait for the next moon, when BTC goes high as fuck again, buy more cheap alts, rinse and repeat.

Not sure about Blocknet given Dan Metcalf's history, but the other two I would agree might be the best investments you can make in crypto right now.

You mean there are lots more speculative bubbles in crypto. None of the alts stay up for long, most cycle up and down as they pump and dump. And some just do a single pump and then a long dump. Don't hold alts for long - you'll just find yourself a bagholder.

It's fine being a bagholder of dozens of coins if one or two of those coins goes up like 100x or even higher.

Most people sell off coins with low profit (1.2x-2x) instead of waiting for the mega pump. It's all personal preference though.

I hold the main ones, aside bitcoin, eth, dash, lite, doge and some new ones like pivx 1stblood and 1xfc.

I mean they are eventually going up but considering how much they already went up, I am just happy with it already, from now on as long as it doesn’t crash I am happy.
