Bitcoin Forum

What seems to be the consensus on the top 5 crytocurrency coins now?  Obviously bitcoin is number 1.  ETH is probably 2nd.  But what about 3-5?


My list would be something like this



1.  BTC
2.  ETH
3.  Litecoin
4.  Ripple
5.  Z-cash
6.  Waves



I also hear in this article the 6 other most important currencies besides bitcoin and they have ripple and dash mentioned.

http://www.investopedia.com/tech/6-most-important-cryptocurrencies-other-bitcoin/


ETH is pretty obvious.  Its mentioned it will get bigger than bitcoin.


I googled ripple and its something like $0.30 a coin.  Its also mentioned in this article.  I googled coinmarketcap and ripple is like the 3rd currency in terms of market cap.  If thats the case, why is this not a must buy when its about $0.30 a coin?  I mean, if you buy 1000 of them, thats only $300.  If you buy 5000 of them, thats $1500.  Now imagine ripple goes up to $100.  You would have 5 million dollars etc. 


Litecoin i read people mention is like the silver version of bitcoin.  But i read some ppl mentioned litecoin is useless.  Is that true?  It did went up from $30 to $50 and now its $45.


Z-cash I don't know much about it but the price is pretty high at $349.  I read it was something like $4000 when it started out?  Can someone confirm this?  It was also like around $3000 and then dropped to $1000 etc.  It went down to as low as $36 or so.  But now it was went back up.  Does anyone have any thoughts about this coin?  It seems like this coin is very volatile.  But i read zcash is pretty important as a currency.


Waves I do not know much about it.  However, does anyone have opinion on this coin?  This coin started trading at around $0.10 or so and has moved up to $0.50 then $1 and now its up to around $5.  I mean if you invested in this coin when it was say $1... say you bought 5000 of them.  That $5000 would be close to $25,000 now.  And the thing is these coins are so cheap.  So doesn't it seem like when these coins are so low priced... the moment they start rising, you should just buy?  My thinking is well if a coin cost $1... well whats the worst that could happen?  It drop to 0.  First off, is this even possible?  If it does, what happens?  Now if you invest $1000 at $1 each for 1000 coins.  You have the possibility of increasing your investment by 5x, 10x, 50x, 100x, 500x, 1000x the amount etc.  That is certainly possible when i say 1000x when a coin is $0.25 for example.



Does anyone agree/disagree with my list here?  I know i put top 5 and i list 6 because i find zcash and waves pretty close.  I dont know much about investing.  But all i know is buy low and sell high etc.  But if you are buying coins and holding them... waiting for it one day to get big like bitcoin, well my thoughts are shouldn't you buy any coin that is well in the top 15 coin list and when its really cheap but also has increased in value even when it goes from $10 to $50?  I mean look at ETH.  It was like $25... then it went up to $30, $40, $50 and then all the way up to $300.


Also do you guys agree/disagree with my statement that buying a lot of coins when its really cheap is the way to go as long as the coin has shown signs of going up in value?  For example, ripple is 30 cents, it was not even 1 cent earlier.  So imagine you buy 10000 of them. That $100 now is $300.  So if you invested $10000, that amount is $30000.  But of course that is way too risky because it hasn't shown any signs of going up.  But it has went from 1 cent all the way to 30 cents.  I mean isn't that a good reason to buy?  Because if ripple goes up to $30... you would have made 100x your risk amount with the possibility of it going higher etc.

By 'invest', I assume you're buying and holding.  If yes then I would always recommend BTC, XMR and LTC for people who want a 5 year plus holding period.  All the rest is good for trading the trend to gain profit in BTC.

Add byteball as well ,it has gained a lot of user response.they have created condition transaction feature in wallet as well.second one i recommend is Mobilego(MGO) ,it is dual token of eth and wave.it is one the best long term profitable token in market.its already 3x in 1 month.

I googled byteball assuming it was some coin that is like 1 dollar.  its over 700 dollars.  I see that earlier it was 25 dollars this year.  That is amazing.  I mean isn't this like bitcoin in a way since it basically just skyrocketed etc?


The other one mobilego.. its a bit over 2 dollars.  yes that seems to be something that one could afford because its cheap.


But what about the ones i mentioned above?  Would you say these two coins you mention are better than those other ones?  Also why is byteball something most ppl never heard of yet its trading at over 700 dollars?

I'd only recommend BTC and eth. Although the ship has already sailed for these two.


Waves, yes, but with due diligence.

BTC, ETH, DASH, SC, STRAT

My best top 5 coin is ethereum, monero, zcash, litecoin and dash. This 5 coin for sure gives me high profit after few months or few years of holding. Suggest also to buy that coins because they have possible you become instant millionaire if you have this 5 altcoins. But it depends to you if you buy or not but for this coin im become instant millionaire.

If somebody ask me, in which 5 coins they should invest as a longtime investment I would probably mention this:

Bancor BNT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1789222.0)
Siacoin SC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060294.0)
Golem GNT (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1655002.0)
Lisk LSK (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1346646.0)
LBRY Credits LBC (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1541268.0)


I am holding more coins, but I think this 5 will be much bigger then they are right now in the future...

My best top 5 altcoin is 1) Waves 2) Ethereum Classic 3) Ethereum 4) Edgeless 5) Z-cash  :D

%40 waves %25 ethereum classic % 15 ethereum %10 edgeless and z-cash  ;)

nah for me is zcash or zen, lbry, spreadcoin, verge and nexus, i don't like ico or shitcoin withotu POW phase, unless they have something other than the ico like a dpos or a pos like system enhanced like decred

Pascal is my current favorite.  I believe it could take on the big boys down the road. Block chain trim is a big deal. Others that could be a long term buy...

Ardor, VIA, Bitbay, Shift, xtrabytes, Ark

IOTA technology is also crazy...definetely is going to rise in a long term. Problem: Has a huge market cap already.

I would alos go with BTC and Ethereum... concentrate on the winners. Okay, throw in Dogecoin for the fun!

dont forget about SIACOIN  ;)

Every day when i come here the first thing i see is another topic like this..
"What the top 5 best coins to invest in?"

I swear to god you kidiots are retarded.
And i should report this as advertising.

Please go broke quicker and leave Investards.
You are insufferable douchebags.
All you do is post useless fucking garbage here 24/7  ::)

I like your style.

Man, let me be your slave  ;D

More SC and ETH shills. Move a long. SC isn't going to work. ETH is going to be replaced.

Uhmm, Thanks for this thread that i get some learnings and stuff about altcoin which i must buy and sell in future :) Hoping for our all success. I'm now holding some coin which most popular on other comments here like

• Eth
• Waves
• ofcourse bitcoins

Only few amount of it, I'm looking to have more in near future.

ripple
eth classic

Thoughts on this?


Byteball has increased a lot but its very expensive.


Mobilego is all the way down to $1.30 now.  Would buying mobilego be good idea?

Good to invest right now is this coin for sure you will earn a lot of profit in thenext few momths. Bitcoin for sure, next is the ethereum , dash coin , litecoin and alps the zcash coin. I want to add 4 altcoin monero, waves ,  stratis  and also the ethereum classic. Its better if you invest your bitcoin or your money in different altcoin to prevent big loses . Always be careful while investing in altcoin its better to make a researh first.

I don't have top 5 best coins to invest in since I believe that new coins can after after their ICO thus my choice are always in ICO since it's profitable once placed in the market.

I thing these following coins:

1.ETH
2.WAVES
3.NEM
4.ZEC
5.PBT
