Bitcoin Forum

As I have recently just joined the world of Cryptos around 1st August but I am doing only investment based on long term HODL currently my portfolio consist of NEO, OMG, XRP, SIA, XVG & ADEX

Would like good advise on any other cryptos with reason which I should be holding for a long term prospect of 4 to 5 years time

Then stick to bitcoin and hodl it as long as you can. I can't say about your portfolio though, altcoins is simply pump and dump it you know what I mean, and its really hard to hold them for longer term because some of them might die soon. So my advise is to go to bitcoin for the long haul and altcoins for short term or day trading and then reinvest everything in bitcoin because the chances of you getting huge profit in 4-5 years holding it is very likely. Maybe it won't take you 4-5 years, maybe in a year or two you will see your bitcoin investments grows exponentially.

Waves
Stratis

My favourite long-terms are AiCoin and SONM. SONM is more of a speculative investment of mine though. AiCoin on the other hand is bound to outperform the Bitcoin benchmark while avoiding the drops that always follow pumps. AiCoin is my go-to for stability paired with great gains, both in short and long term. Their ICO is about to end though.

Wow brother, 4-5 years in the crypto world are an eternity  ;D
If you really want to hold coins for so long, then my advice is to make unique coins, underestimated and with large and unique designs.
STRAIS / NEO / LSK
XSPEC
SHIFT
XEL / AUGUR
BINANCE
XRB
BURST / SIA
RADS
NEXUS

$ 13,000 in these 13 coins and you after 4-5 years, if you do not sell until the end of 2020, you'll be MILLION!  ;)

you have a good long term coin, i am follow with you. i think you can add more coin if you still have balance. the coin is litecoin, etc, bat. i think this coin have a good potential in the long term so maybe you can considering to buy and hold these coin. but please remember, before you buy, you need to analyze for each of coins so you don't missed something.

This is a really nice list of coins to consider for a portfolio, i just wanted to add some thoughts to what has been posted. Need to allocate to themes that may takeoff since investors become obsessed with various themes at one time or another and then the coins in that group pump

Privacy coins - XSPEC is good, may also consider SUMO (Monero fork), XVG, ZEN and XMR (be careful price is very pumped at the moment!)
Decentralized Exchanges - XCP, BLOCK, WAVES
Proof of Stake coins - RADS, 808, RDD, 1337

currently multiple of your "HODL" coins are performing terribly and it has been like this for at least 4 months for each of them. and looking at each of their charts you can clearly see these coins like XRP have the same pattern of getting pumped and staying up 1 months and then slowly creeping down towards their bottom and lower than that.

i am sorry to say this but you have bought a big ice cube and now you are watching it melt, shrinking each day.

100% agreeing with this list. Not sure about the millionaire part, but you'll definitely be worth a big something from what you invested with

i dont believe any of them are good for long term. Maybe siacoin has a chance. Because it is cheap enough now and team is not bad. It has a possible potential but others are mostly priced already.

Look for coins with a business model of creating new coins under their blockchain like ETH, WAVES, NXT, UBQ, NEO, BTS etc. In the long run these coins will build a massive volume from new coins created under their blockchain.

Its your choice and i would say hold all you can if you do believe that those coins would really give you profits or make even you a millionaire on 5 years time. No one really knows this is why hodling isnt bad at all if you dont really need money then forget those coins and comeback again on 5 years and lets hope that everything would go as planned.

Looking in to an altcoin to invest in myself. ARK look very promising. But would not invest in that before the price went a little down as it recently got a bump

You could try alts that have already survived for several years. Coins like Litecoin and Ethereum can be traded directly for fiat on most exchanges, which indicates that those exchanges think they are here to stay. And it's worth holding onto them in case they overtake bitcoin (the flippening)

yep also like shift but i also had some rads but not for a long time it can go up easily but it brings not that much on the table like shift does  ;D
also had some lisk in the earlier times where eth was 30$ tried to safe my winnings was pretty happy when the spaceship gone up to the cryptosphere  ;D

If you need to add one more to your portfolio then check out LISK. It is going to rebrand in September and then release an SDK before the end of this year - expect a big pump when that happens!

Waves
Golem
MobileGo
Gamecredits
Amp

Tip: Never put great amount of capital only in one or two projects. Have as much as different ones in your portfolio.

-Waves
-Ethereum classic
-Litecoin
-Monero
-Zcash
-Neo
-Sonm

These are solid ones with strong development. Some people try to scam you by offering hyped ones, pay attention for this.

bitcoin and monero

Anything that is in the top 50 is fine but if you want to play it safe then grab something from the top 10,  those coins hold most of the market cap and are not going to disappear so those are safe bets if you do not care as much in performance, but if you want profits then it could be a good idea to get into an ICO, there are risks but I think the risks are worth it.

BNB
TEZOS (yet to enter exchange)
OBSIDIAN (Yet to enter exchange)
DALC
UBQ

do your due diligence because some people would like you to hold what is in their own bag just to promote coin that they are holding

ETC  ;)

I'd suggest getting some Lisk before it really takes off, as only week ago it was at $2, not it's at around $5 and with the upcoming features to be released it will easily get to $10 still this year and the next thing you know you will be looking at next price growths, so yeah it's good to keep some. It's rarely used for pumps and dumps.

ETH, XMR, NEO, ZENcash.

Long Term HODL crypto? HODLcoin (HODL) of course.

Just kidding. Although HODL is my largest hodling in terms of number of coins, I have to admit it's pretty much a dead coin now.

NEO for sure.... might also be LTC, XMR and possibly some other small coins.

Sure,  Waves, STOX, Stratis, OmiseGo, NEO and IOTA. 8)

0x, Tezos (The future I ethereu Island ) and Status . And maybe Zcash (I think the sleeping giant .).

Agree. In many other areas of business, platform providers tend to outperform single service providers. The same could apply to the crypto space also.

What do you think about Ark? Good coin for long term holding??

This is my choice :
BTC
Waves
XVG
XRP

For me it's Lisk/Strat/XEM/Waves/Florin

I think ARK is a decent position to own so long as you own other emerging platforms with similar functionality like SYS, SHIFT and or XBY. Its very hard to pick winners in sub sectors of crypto and predict who will gain market share, especially with emerging crypto coins. So its quite possible these hybrid currency / file system / storage coins take off, but you pick the wrong horse and the sector takes off without you leaving you bag holding at the start line.

Essentially you are investing in publicly traded venture capital so I feel its best to be diversified. For the record I have positions in all four I just mentioned with heavier weights in XBY and SHIFT. ARK is already at $179M market cap as of todays date so its hard to get more than a 5 bagger out of it.

Relative to it's current price and where it could be in the future, then it would be Zencash.

When Secure Nodes go live then Zencash will be one of the most autonomous coins out there.

Just an announcement of going on a small Singapore exchange caused the price to go up 50%. Currently the Russians are the most interested, so when they go on the Russian exchanges it could really move the price. They are also working on being listed on the Chinese exchanges.

Ledger is also currently integrating Zencash to their wallet.

Zencash has only been around about 3 months so it hasn't really started yet, but a lot will be happening this year (BTW, there is only 4 months left in the year).

My favorite long term bags are waves and ethereum currently. Waves is the biggest cryptocurrency on the market and they have a dencentralized exchange. They are working on a interface update at this moment and we will see a relaunch in the next weeks.

These coin will be the best choice, no doubt. Next coming days, altcoins will be exploded. You guys just need collect as more as you can, and hold very tight.

My long term HODL coins are as follows:
WAVES
OMG
MUSIC
NXT
ONION

I also hold a few others that may or may not be long term:
NEO
ADX
EXP

good ones for me too, I think eth xmr and neo really a long hold and will bring huge success same deal with bitcoin as they have future developments
that yet to see as of now but surely when everything got established the value will be more than what we are expecting.

I do not know holding SONM for so long seems like a bad idea, the coin is severely undervalued you could buy some and make some money with it since they are holding a lot more funds than its current price, to me SONM is more a short term kind of investment.

Fast micropayments will be one to look out for.

That's why I have my bet on RaiBlocks (XRB) becoming a huge riser in the coming months

Long term hold coins are easy to tell: Monero, Litecoin, ZCash, Ethereum, Stratis and Waves. These are gonna take us to future. I am expecting growth 10x with these coins in long range.

I agree with you. On my list of long term holdings, bitcoins are on the top followed by neo, waves and eth. These coins have great project and are supported by good teams who know how to meet the demands of the investors. These coins have indeed sound future and same is the case of their investors.

Well, at the moment i am just holding a few altcoins that i trust them so much, and i have an important amount of money invested on them.
10% of my portfolio is on bitcoin.
20% is on ethereum
30% monero
20% waves
20% litecoin
I think that those are the safest coins that are here on the altcoin market at the moment, a portfolio like this is giving me a good return, in the last week i earned more than 8% profit from that.

No one has mentioned STEEM. Think there is future in it's social media platform steemit.com. Already getting more and more popular.
If this becomes as big as Reddit there might be some good profits to be made here in the long term.

Wow, if you had bought them at lowest price in this month, the profit you receive in today will high than many more 8%, even 200-300% is possible with Monero and Litecoin.

It's interesting that in 11 minutes all tokens are sold and saying the truth there is not much activity on that ANN thread.

Probably the tokens were sold to private investors and/or bought by their selves (the team) - just speculating.

For long term I'm holding stellar and byteball, maybe not the best choice but I don't have a large amount of them.

IOTA, Dash, Zcash, Waves, Neo, Omisego, Litecoin.
My top 3 of the ones above: IOTA, Neo, Omisego

Can you add some good coins like strat XMR ,LTC , LBC . I know it would have a great value through and i like what you do i somehow need money like you but i can't hold it for 5 years .

If I think investing in coin coins is durable and most likely not wasted like ETH, so you get a doubled profit for the long term ,, and at the same time bitcoin prices may have gone up in price, and that's where you get satisfactory results.

I'll add some coin like those are already mentioned in your comment, Neo, omisgo, 0x token. All of them seem good coin. that will not make you to hold for the long term hold or we can take over a year as an example for you. You may think to invest in there. Kick ico should be the next good coin.

It's really the usual thing for hyped ICO to sold that way. have you seen how 0x sold all of their coins within few minutes?.
and your speculation about their team bought the tokens themselves doesn't make sense at all, what the use tho?

Be cautious about buying coins that have already sailed.
 
TRST could be opening up the next tech wave right here right now and is so cheap at the moment. I hesitate to spread too much about it as our group is accumulating it as we speak.
 
The development team for WeTrust (TRST) includes a couple of guys who were deep in at Google. They are working towards a finance model for banking services to be used in the mainstream which utilises the ancient concept of the trusted circle for those without traditional banking access points. I think the Indian, Chinese and Viet market will go crazy for this. Think of “village banking”. Reading between the lines it appears that the Dev team may have retained links but I would be speculating to say they are working in league with the tech giant, Google. (No proof yet but I’ll keep digging) Anyway do your own research on this one. I’m adding it to my Asian collection (NEO, Qtum, XEM and OMG)  These are also HODL at all costs.

I can't help it but something tells me Siacoin is going to see some growth long term.

On long term, Zencash might be a good investment. Imagine that everyone who still lives under a dictatorship would use this coin.

Adex is good option, because i think it's price always increasing, but why you not pick waves? Waves have their own wallet and platform so it's good for our invesment

I hold some Adex,Waves,Eth, and Mobilego these projects has a good future. I know I can earn huge profit for holding this altcoins.

XVG, SIA are only among your coins in my portfolio others I find worth is  the ETC, ETH, and XEM. They once lead the market in exchanges (not on the coinmarketcap).

Picking up some zen secure nodes now before they go live couldn't hurt they're really cheap compared to current coin supply and potential growth.
ETC is an ez hold with barry shilbert and his company grayscale. He's not going to fail his investors.
If your not hodling some Dash your in for some big regrets there. If bch can hold a 10 billion dollar market cap, Dash can touch that and more.

Forget all of that garbage the new kids are talking about.  They are just bagholders who don't know it yet.

You have a wonderful portfolio and I think you should also add bitcoin infact 30% ought to be in bitcoin as bitcoin today is like gold standard for others altcoins and cryptocurrency. I think investing in bitcoin may give you great Return On your investment  for long term.  If you have a high risk capital you can add the following list to your portfolio as many of them are great project. Wave, lisk, strats, zcash and litecoin.

QTUM is like a sleeping dragon?
 
The reason I think QTUM is about to take off and will return at least 5x within two months but in the longer term will prove to be rewarding looking to 2018 (a few of the reasons)

 1.  Interview of QTUM team on CCTV in China, will create awareness (PBOC backed)

 2. Will have a WeChat or QQ integration, WeChat's mini-programs will allow users to transact using QTUM and also avail its service by paying through QTUM

3. Number of DApps built on QTUM greater than number of DApps built on NEO

4. Rumoured they have two 100 billion remninbi investor backing

5. Asian Exchange listing 

6 - they are planning to launch QEA (QTUM Enterprise Alliance). Now there is speculation they are in talks with Alibaba and Tencent as the first allies but that has not been confirmed so at this stage please just treat it as pure rumour only. Don't factor that into any price considerations and I hesitate to even mention it.
 
But do your own research. I hold NEO and Qtum and OMG.

You have a good portfolio but I think your holding of bitcoin are a little bit on the low side so try to increase that in the next months, it is true that bitcoin cannot move as fast as a coin with a lesser market cap but it is a safer investment and you need to take that into consideration as well.

If the world doesn't end, coins worth holding for 5+ years would be...

Bitcoin (you should have 50-70% in BTC)
Litecoin
Ethereum
NEO
Civic
Stratis
Monero
IOTA
Decred
WAVES
Komodo

For the people who mentioned Monero, I suggest that you take a look at Aeon. Its lead developer is smooth, who is also a lead developer of Monero,  in case you did not know.

There is also an Aeon code rebase to be released soon that will make it as good as Monero code. Their code might almost be the same but their roadmaps are different. Aeon's goal is to become light enough to run on mobile devices.

Yes, in my opinion BTC and XVG the only coin you can HODL but others are simply expressing a non performing well on trades lately. They are draining and melting your investments to other altcoins.

Keep for the long term, I would say:

- Zcoin (crazy potential)
- Zencash
- Litecoin
- Binance
- OmiseGo
- Tenx
- Stratis
- Neo
- Byteball

If hold for 4~5 years then I suggest most of your money (about 60%) for holding Bitcoin and others (the rest 40%) holding ETC,Waves,LBC,NEO and XMR, and I also recommend to hold DeepOnion for a short term of about at least 6 months, this coin seems like have great potential.

Only coins I hold for long term are Bitcoin and Ethereum. I do not want to chase coins which will make x100. It is too difficult to find and be patient in the long term.
I also hold Waves for the mid term for taking profit and selll.

My most loved long haul speculation is waves and Ethereum Monero NEO Stratis presently. These are going to take us to future. These coins have an extraordinary task and are upheld by great groups who know how to fill the requests of the speculators.

My biggest hopes go into Ether and Storj at the moment

They are all about decentralization and enabling big firm cut their expenses, and that's what everyone wants.
Less expenses for them means more money for us - simple as that

Next to IOTA, ETH, BTC i will hold EOS for at least one year (also because of german tax policies). Many ppl think its a promising project and innovative, others declare it as scam. I actually cant decide yet, but if it will become a serious threat for ETH then the prise will rise next year..

Can I  ask  you  whay Stellar?  What  does  this  coin have  so special?

Also  I have red  somenthing  about  Dimcoin

Okay , my opinion her it's very good for you holding some cryptocurrency  long terms but you have review  them from time to time because some of them not growing up you to replace by other

Honestly, if you know nohting about crypto if want to invest with low risk, just take the top 10 (whitout Ripple) and invest on them for long time.

Yep, probably the better answer for a beginner. Out of top 10-20, the risk is higher, and the only answer is research, research, research and more research on top of that. Takes time, but worth it.

There is actually an experiment going on, on Reddit, where this guy has bought the 31 top cryptos and is holding them for a year, to see whether this brings a profit or loss. You can read more about it in the following thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6wkk1u/buy_and_hodl_31_cryptocurrencies_for_365_days/

Indextrading the top 20 coins is imo a good and save way to make some nice profits

If you really want to stay safe and still make very huge profits, I'll suggest waves. Don't miss out on it.  Lisk will soon moon, but I don't know if it's good for long term investment.

Most of the coins you are listing are also my coins of choice. I am into Verge, Adex, Siacoin, and Ripple. I traded OmiseGo for a while but I already sold them last high time. NEO is something I am still observing for now. I think it is still very expensive for now, at least as far as my own personal assessment is concerned.

Your choices are good but try to add to your portfolio some waves, mco and xmr as these coins are really promising.
Just hold it for mid or long term depends on the movement in the market so watch carefully.
Like I missed to sell my mco last week as it goes high so I'm just holding it again until next pump.

Take Viacoin into account. They already have a working product and the coin is heavily undervalued from my perspective. Bright future for the coming 1-3 years I guess.

I think you need some Ethereum.

I think if you want hold cryptos for long .. i choice bch and eth because bch is the new coin result from segwit so i think bch will be follow btc i see more positive news about that coin .. and for eth why i choice it . Because have a good system and that system use to many more coin ico .. and more positvive news about eth ..

My long term HODL cryptos:

1. RLC   
2. XSPEC
3. ETH
4. ARK
5. IXT

Apart from the more well known coins I got Signatum and XRB for long term

Yeah for long term investment majority in our portfolio should be bitcoin and then rest would be altcoins. The altcoins you suggested that I like is ETC,WAVES and NEO I can see a very big potential for these coins and DeepOnion can also be profitable but not for long term I think.

My long term holds are Bitcoin  and Iota . The two best coins by far then  monero and nav coin

Iota (for its tangle tech) and Viacoin are my fav long term holds. Via is getting slowly integrated into the Chinese market, with lots of great tech additions on its roadmap. Also has Ledger support coming into play in 8 weeks or so. No brainer for me!

Ethereum is a best longterm to me because I believe in mr.vitalik and company investor of ethereum in the future the higher the price of ethereum sugour will reach the price at 1000 $ if we notice in the new ico sale almost the ethereum Used as of investment but not just ethereum is good for longterm much else you just research the alt background

If you were planning to hold for long term because you said you were going to hold the crypto coins around 4-5 years, the best coin would be Bitcoin and Ethereum. For sure you will profit from those two coins than those cryptocoins you've mentioned but I could be wrong.  ::)

I'm in the same boat, only been trading since July 10th. I focus on the privacy coins cause of all the news with China and Russia restricting trade so it's a big market in my opinion. In no particular order of importance....

1)Verge
2)Safex
3)Ripple
4)Neo

These are mostly on a budget and each are fairly cheap.

Also if bitcoin reaches the massive adoption we are expecting out of out then the possibility that it skyrockets as hard as some other coins is there, so bitcoin is not only like the gold standard it has the potential to be one of the best investments of the next decade.

I think we will jump on anonymity wave soon as seeing some countries start looking heavily in cryptocurrency because of ICO scammers. I think coins like Zcash and Monero maybe Dash will go up heavily.

This, it is very tempting to try to pick the winner among several coins but if there are several coins that roughly perform the same function the best thing you can do is to buy all of those coins instead of just one, that way you minimize the possibility of losing money, of course this will lower your earnings as well in the case you only invested in the coin with the best performance but that is life.

I am now very bullish on 0x Project (ZRX). I think this will change crypto.

I am sure you will get many profit in the future, because in my opinion there will be no loss for long-term investment. because if I see all the coins progress from year to year.

Waves is good altcoin and can compete with Ethereum about ICOs field or platform blockchain.
NEO also new altcoin growth in this year, however it have big pumped from Chinese market, so you need think again careful before choose it for holding long term.

Simple:
Panic Buying.

I've got PMs about why I'm holding stellar, it's because there was an airdrop recently and that is a free money, I didn't have that before and I didn't work for that, so I'm leaving there and "forget" for a period of time.

If the price increases then good, I made a profit, if it stays the same then it's ok too, if it drops then I wouldn't worry too much because I was aware of the risk.

ZCash, DASH and Monero seem to all be performing incredibly well.

Scary to think of their prices in coming years.

I agree with you on that, just as long as the coins are not dead then most of them would increase the next year. Best example is the coin BCN, it was stagnant for a long time and it suddenly increased this year.

OMG, Qtum and XAS are the three i am familiar with, also hold for a long time, i will hold for another long time, never hold the coin you dont know even it seems good

Personally I would not hold BCH for the long term, at this moment it seems to be doing fine, but at the first sight that the profitability for the miners is going down then they are going to drop the coins and if that happens then you are going to lose all your investment since everyone will want to get out of BCH and it will be too late, if you want to hold for the long term BTC, LTC and ETH are the best options.

I think value of deeponion can increase a lot
good community team and road map fast coin and very cheap now
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/deeponion/
hold for future
https://novaexchange.com/market/BTC_ONION/

.
that's completely right eth and bitcoin would bring millions to our pocket just to hold and to trust even it takes several years the longer you hold the better rewards that you will received I understand those people who keeps on sharing what coin they have and tried to hyped it over here.

If Ethereum have smart contract, Bitcoin have largest community and No.1 on cryptocurrency world. I will choose Monero for holding long term, this is best coin about privacy, anonymous and can replace Bitcoin when Bitcoin become fresh currency, legal.

There are not many coins worth holding for the long term, Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin are at the top of my list the rest will depend on what you think is going to be next big thing on cryptocurrencies, so it could probably good idea to hold one of the anonymity coins for the long term too.

agreed, market is very volatile. You may not recognize some of top 10 currencies in 1 year, so I would choose to invest in some well-known and "stable" currencies like those 3

My top 5 by far:

Zcoin
Stratis
Monero
Radium
Ethereum

Some of the coins that you hold are in my opinion not worth holding for long term, its just a matter of time until they drop down to zero and they are currently undervalued. Only the first three coins on your list are worth investing in or holding for long term.

I recommend to you that you consider investing in solid altcoins such as monero, dash, litecoin, komodo or even waves, you must invest in a coin that will benefit you in a long run.

Most coins in top 20 should be long term HODL such as BTC, ETH, LTC, DASH, NEO, OMG and more.

would have been better off holding just bitcoin for the last 4-5 months

You're right.
I am planning keep a bit of bitcoins, the ability to fork (once again, it may not happen)
Buy out, if you have and buy (if you have not bought it yet) - small shit with prospects that has slipped, for example Monero or some of new ico atlant or confideal

Well, HODLING for 4-5 years? Probably not the best strategy. Looking at the chart, the fluctuations of price on altcoin are drastic. So I suggest buy low sell high. HODL maybe a portion of coin and swing trade the rest. No point to HODL for that long for gains when you can make 10x 100x gains swing trading within those five years.

If you want to HODL, HODL BTC 4 EVA!!!

I wont invest into Universa, it is just one more ethereum killer, on the other hand Confideal can be ICO I'll believe — it can be used by any person even he never heard about crypto before. Great choice as for me.

I absolutely agree with you, HODLING all coins for 5 years are too risky. Dont put all eggs in one basket.  ;D

Bitcoin can't make incredible things in long term but tokens can do. I hold, DNT, PAY, SNM, TAAS and MCO. These tokens are pottentially ready to make their pumps in long term.

Ethereum is one of the best long term hodl cryptos out there! Bitcoin is a hodl, but I think everybody knows this :D Another good longterm invest is Zcash!

I wanted to slightly modify this list two months ago, and add new coins that I just discovered.

Korecoin
Syscoin
Eidoo (ico ends on October 16)
The first two coins are very underestimated by the market and may explode from moment to moment, while Eidoo will be listed when it finishes its ICO, and my thoughts will be immediately in the Top50 of coinmarketcap.

I wonder how many actually HODL long term....I would bet 90% don't.

Long term bags - (Still looking to add projects if and when i find value)
Ardor (Has history with Nxt, solves blockchain bloat, Setup like a bank, This is going to be big)
Syscoin (Hardworking team)
Radium (Undervalued compared to competition + POS rewards)  
Florincoin (All about Alexandria)

Short term bag
Next (upcoming snapshot)

My best hodl cryptos are ethereum, waves, and mgo. I believe on their project that offer for a good profit even hodling for a long term investment. Ofcourse bitcoin is my too choice and the rest in my portfolio I know it is all worth it.

Waves, Monero, and Dash are what I will hold on to for the next few years no matter what.

Same eggs in basket on my end ;)

I also keep ETH, LTC and few other alts - for example Syscoin and Siacoin. I will not sold them in 2 - 3 years for sure!

Ardor since it will be a huge rival to ethereum once it gets going. Also deeponion. Great tech and a great comminity.

I added qtum, neo and ltc from your lists. I decided for hodling these cryptos even years  especially waves I have high support on this coin. Surely we can gain on these cyrptos.

I would like to confirm that Deeponion indeed have big potential.
Community and developers make a great work.
 Definitely deserves an attention ;)

Thanks, but i don't own qtum and neo ;) But after your post i will consider to add them to my investment basket :)

Bitcoin is the best holding forever and eth needs a lot of work still to stand next to bitcoin.
Eth is a big failure and any sensible investor will not like to hold this shitty coin. Waves are much better than this trash. If you really want to make money by holding, invest as much as you can into bitcoin and then go for waves. Waves are the best among altcoins.

Real
Csno

Add sonm, it's gonna be worth billions in a few years, making each coin worth a couple of (tens of) dollars no doubt. Also invest in Eth and Bitcoin, as hedges but also to reinvest your profits in ICO's and new coins

Definitely check out ETP. It's a new coin based on the ETH software. It uses the metaverse system. I just happened to stumble across it by someone asking me to help them setup a pool and it's already climbed up 300% since I bought some up. I definitely plan on holding long term on this one.

My portfolio of long term holders includes:

-Safex
-Substratum
-Bitquence

Hodl Waves and buy on the dump.

As it is now around 73000 satoshi

Time and again only BTC proved and will be proving that is the only true LT hold, at least at a very high % that it will stay Longterm. But i think also LTC as second, the difference between btc and ltc is criminal

waves, ardor, verge, unify, shift, golem, eth, xrp - these are in my wallet

There are several coins to look at for long term HODL,

the Obvious one is Bitcoin, if you buy some now, and place in an offline wallet, any forks that happen will also double your coin into the two new chains so you can forget about it for a few years that way.

I would also go with Waves, as they have a solid longer term roadmap. Smart contracts, upgraded DEX etc.

My top 3:

DeepOnion
NEO
NVST

What about bitcoin and ethereum? They are the best two cryptos for long term, don't go deeply in altcoins.
I can also recommend Lisk, Waves, and ICN.

The only sure bet is Bitcoin, it has proven that it still the sure banker, though most of these ALtcoins too have made significant gain especially in Fiat but all these is due to bitcoin price going up.

I think that the following currencies have very interesting projects in the long term

- LTC
- Wavex
-TaaS
- Cloak

the future will tell us if I was right  ;)

Long term:
SYS
SONM
BTS
ZRX

great choices!

PPT
PPP
ZRX
XRL

Now everyone is going to be clearly visible within the next few weeks in the next few weeks What will happen and what I will hope you will not lose too much If you turn away from the loss of the loss,

Ethereum, 0xproject, tenx, status, aragon and districh0x.

These are very good coin choose i have almost the same except the ADEX coin as i never heard about it

Neo,0x,Stratis,Waves,Kore,Kyber,Aventus.
These are the long term Hodl coin for me.
All these coin have the potential to become future Cryptocurrency leader.
Personally i want mention Waves.
Waves price is low compared to its potential.

I have waves and stratus in your list. I consider this for a long term hodling investment. I beleive its future and I can see its growth for more years. So investing in these two will benefited everyone also.

yeap, I can name ETH, BTC, but
as for me etherparty is overhyped for some reason, also it was hacked. I prefer platforms with better support and security, like Confideal, don't you think?

i suggest go on etherium and bitcoin because these two coins are the best among the rest when it comes to long term holdings plus also their value is increasing day by day and that  simply means the longer you hold them , the more profit youl get.  also i believe that waves has a good future and a good addition to your portfolio.

Definitely plan on holding my ethereum log term and really hoping we see a nice spike in value in the future. I have high hopes for this coin! I also hold my SIA, not too sure but I mine it as a secondary so we will see what happens with this coin as well.

NEO
ETP
WTC
BNB
LINK
VEN

Staking coins like PPC, RAIN, EMB, POS, KMD and so forth.  You will get a return on the coins you hold in your wallet the longer you hold them. 

These will allow you to earn interest on the coins you hold.  I have no idea what the crypto market will look like in 5 years, but diversification is a good hedge. 

Great choice as for me. Confideal can be ICO I'll believe — it can be used by any person even he never heard about crypto before.

Obviously NEO is very good effective & potential coin I think & this coin is very right choice for long term investment.You can add Ethereum in your investment list I hope this coin is very profitable.

NEO is a good coin indeed and will be a good investment for the future but it will need to surpass Ethereum first, Vitalik Buterin is a smart guy and is a huge leader in cryptocurrencies and blockchain as a whole, I think Ethereum for the long term will allways be more succesfull than NEO, although I hit my money on the other altcoins which need to get their true value, I am a huge fan of vertcoin cause it will be more worth than Litecoin in the future, Litecoin seems to be stuck on its current price.

Ark and wave

Monero for long term profit, security and privacy!

i think monero is taking too long, many new privacy coins are coming out. Yes they are king of privacy at the moment, but adoption is important also.

I recently discovered Milkcoin, a tradeable token that's basically a spendable share from a massive agricultural enterprise based in Russia. It's already up and running, but the ICO is ment to accelerate their growth expodentially. The reason why I call this a long term hodl, is because they'll start buying back the coins in 3 years at a 120% price, which means whatever profits you'll have made in 3 years, you're going to get an extra 20% of that. Also, they'll be paying trimonthly and yearly dividends. They'll be able to pay for all that because the agricultural market, as well as food and supply shortages, of Russia are enormous.

You can buy waves, komodo, taas and qtum coin and for sure this coin will increase in the future and possible become hundreds dollars price in the future . But it's up to you if you want to invest to this altcoin but that coin that I give is a potential coin and you will earn profit if you choose that. Its better to make a research so you can know what coin is the best for you that's gives you big profit or for longterm.

I have total faith in waves and ethereum that it will surely increase in future so most of my investments is in both of them and I am waiting for huge pump so that I can sell them at higher price and grab the huge profits in near future.

I wouldnt hold any coin for 4-5 years time that seems way too long of a hold. In traditional stock market this makes sense because it takes a while to realize equity but since cryptos in 24 7 and the market is constantly

changing and evolving I wouldnt hodl much stuff past a year. That is me personally though everyone has their own preference of course

Hello guys, my contribution here : I would like to seriously recommend you DeepOnion for long time HODLing

I know your first thoughts will be "yet another DeepOnion guy", but think about it : DeepOnion market cap is only $2,395,240 as I write this post, so this is ridiculous ! and it has one of the strongest community of the web, so it will, one day or another, PUMP HARD

Devs are working on adding it to other exchanges soon, so my advice is : run and buy it as soon as possible !! :)

Following the projects and keeping up with progress if key. You could keep longer than a year, but only if progress is made and there is a future possible.

Waves, Litecoin, Ethereum, Stratis, Digibyte and last but not the least bitcoins for sure to hold for the long term as it will give you sure shot profits if you manage to hold it without getting panic even when you see price dropping.

hold long term, yes i also do that.
I think making long-term investments gives me considerable advantages and provides a fairly relaxing time span. but in choosing a coin to make an investment we must really think and make the right decision in accordance with some information we get.

Siacoin, I'm holding that but its hard to watch at the moment, very bad few months, which means its very cheap, for long hold why not.

Waves for me for a long hold, hoping it will take off next year though

I honestly recommend selling parts of your sia holdings each time it goes up a little, it's got a very big chance to be simply overshadowed by massive coins like Sonm or Lisk

The only coin I have really been holding, would be ETH. I have been a very long term holder and will continue to do so

nice choice! you won't regret hodling ZRX

i hope next year i can hold as much as i can of the said alt coins. thansk mate.

what about ELECTRONEUM guys? is it good to invest in this crypto coin?

That is good to be your early investment but i say not for the long term investment. But you can try to divided your amount into all of the major token and you can stay with it to be your long term investment.

Check out masternode coins if you want passive coin income from long term holding -  it's worth your time!   Here's a big list with stats and details: https://masternodes.pro/


CRAVE is a very good coin to get into to start with, easy to setup, only 500 coins needed... Very cheap, high returns.  In Crave's case, there's only 1.4 Million coins, so they are quite rare as well.

it's not a bad coin IMO. I think it was a little overhyped, but all in all the concept of smartphone mining is pretty cool. It's been estimated that smartphone use will grow exponentially, so incorporating a mining aspect, no matter how small, sounds really smart. It's kinda what sonm will accomplish, but on a more detailed market

Mine personally are XMR and ZEC.

Both haven't been in action lately but i think that once people catch onto it price will absolutely skyrocket. They are actually competitors right now, but i think that in the future anonymous coins in general will be huge, and i'm not sure which one will be the ultimate winner.

I also just hold some doge, for the lols.

i have xmr and zec too and i see there is possibility for this two coins to increase because if i see xmr, this coins have not been increase too high and i am sure this coins can follow the other coins. i am hold doge too like you and i think although doge is underestimated by many people, but once the dogecoin is increase, it will go to high until three times from the price before so i still waiting the higher price in future. beside that, i think the litecoin have the same opportunity like xmr, zec and dogecoin and i am sure that people is waiting too like us.

Was XTRABYTES mentioned here? ;) XBY is great for long hold. Do a research if you don't believe me. Thank me later.

Hello everyone.
I have a question.
Hypothetically. Is it possible to get out of scam with a plus when it is held?

yea its a risky bet , but i think put a small amount into XBY and hold to next year will be worth it . 20x-50x potential

A scam by definition is basically a fake project designed to attract investments, without the intention to release any product. Usually, the scam developer disappears with a couple hundreds of ETH he raised (most real scams don't raise a lot because people get smarter, they look up the team, the tech, the collabs, ...). Now, if you've bought tokens from a scam project, you might be able to sell them at a profit before word gets out it was a scam, but usually if you invest in a scam you're f#cked lol

I would like to advise for you that you should stay calm be patience and hodl all of of your coins to achieve a very high price for your wonderful future.

NEO
Bitcoin
XMR
BURST
SIA
Electroneum
UBIQ
VRC

These make up my portfolio in order of amount invested.

I will prefer to Ethereum, WAVES, ZEC, NEM and SONM. That's a list I think is good to hold for long term.

Honestly the big one I have when it comes to titanium grip holds would be IOTA. It's planning on making 0% transaction fees. That's HUGE, I don't care what anyone says - if that is implemented it will rock the grounds of ethereum and BTC. It would be easy for any other ICO to implement IOTAs blockchain for merchant use immediately as well. You would be able to legitimately process a microtransaction for any commodity.

It's 2017 in crypto. You'll be telling your grand babies that these were the days you could have literally picked anything and mooned

I think we should not make hard invest currently. This market still has a significant harm.
It's called AI (Artificial intelligence).
With current speed, AI will take control and own the digital world, and digital currency in specific.
I am just saying my idea.

hello sorry I red your post:



There is  already  a  cripto with zero  transaction fees, is  Rail Bloks...  why do you believe so much in  IOTA, considering that it  has  a  huge  supply and  huge  arket cap? It can't  make  a  x10  for  example

AI isn't going to crash the crypto market. It might become a part of it, but it won't ruin the prices, at the very least not over night.

ZRX looks like gold coin. I hold from ico and wainting for year. I think it's good investment.

I rather choose to hold coins with their own blockchain for hold term. What I mean is I like to hold coins that aims to be used as a monetary unit because there are no limits to how valuable those can get. Thus I hold:

Dash
Decred
Ethereum
Monero

I think the best coin will be ethereum for now. Price can achieve over 1000$ so if you like holding coins it is perfect for you

Stellar (XLM).

Why people try to combine with coins that do not have a future ( i mean could havent got it) and do not invest in a king which i mean of course bitcoin.

My Long term portfolio:

-WAVES
-BTC
-NEO
-IOT(but not totally sure)
-ETH
-QTUM
-KMD

In long-term of course it is better to hold Bitcoin and Etherium. But also I will buy IOTA, ARDR, LMC, SC and DGB.

long term is the new term
newbies here is Confideal, launching in Nov, better check this kiddo out for not missing your reward

well for me i will take vibe (vibehub) because is has solid dev team that always updating their activity in slack and discord and second it worked together with monster product and for short term it also good because they have event in ces 18 with monster together

BTC and ETH both is going to be there for the long term in majority of the investors portfolio. Those are the crux of nay altcoin and cypto currency without which the plate would be incomplete. rest of the coins as per the risk appetite may keep switching and also might be new ICO at pre stage would be given a priority by people as may get at good rate.

Was thinking of holding on to my ETH but keeps getting tempted on holding new tokens from ICOs.

Currently holding:
ASTRO
Genesis.vision
Bitconnect

ETH though does not seem to grow in value in the last 3 months, even with the Byzantium improvement.
Seems these Bitcoin forks are dampening ETH value, any other ideas, anyone?

I am hodling LISK and RISE.. So far so good..

whats the deal with hashgraph? anyone hear of it

Any portfolio without Bitcoin is not serious to be treated like long-term, everybody must understand that this is the lead coin and will be.

Most of the top cryptos are good long term HODL choices. Choosing good ICOs and new projects
for long-term is not easy.

Looking forward to that day. Haha

Any suggestions which to pick to reach the the moon this year?

I recommend choosing 2 coins to you. That is Ripple and Storj. Storj/BTC has listed in Poloniex exchange and its price has gone up 38% today. Ripple is an altcoin with a good purpose to develop. Its value has increase more than 3200% in 2017. You should choose these coins.  ;)

IOTA is just a shit project, I never want to buy this token because this project really crazy could increased a huge percents after listed on Bitfinex exchange. SC and DGB you can buy now, these coins have dumped to lowest price and you should to buy for long term before these coin recover value.

I notice that long-term hold often gives us a great deal of benefit when we do not have to waste our time thinking about it.
In the long run, the cryonie currency market is growing and capitalizing, so we are absolutely comfortable to hold and expect higher levels and sell for profit.

If it is me, I will select good ICO projects, potential for long-term hold, I often evaluate them in the areas that ico is applied in practice, direction and development team.
I believe with the ico project we can x10 x20 times the value easily

Everyday I keep posting on my facebook about BitCoin, price increases, countries accepting bitcoin, restaurants accepting bitcoin payments, etc.
And I also ratass excited to have a few friends ask me what is bitcoin

I hold al the coin I have. I hope rich after 5 years.

Long term holds would be
WTC/NEO/ETH/REQ/LINK/ETP/COSS

I'm watching LINK and NEO too. They have potential to higher prices. But COSS is shit.
I don't like that project :)

If you want to invest in long-term, I think you should choose: BTC, ETH, Ripple... These are the basic coins for development of cryptocurrency.

For me only Bitcoin, Ethereum and Waves were the best coin to hold this time, because those coins are a lot of talents that gives them high images to all people. However due to movement of all crypto currency these coins I selected are not in good fluctuation at all, sometimes it was experienced problems but I know that they can manage it.

i though you were talking seriously  until i read COSS......

Normally crypto that is techno based or financial based should be your best bet

Project like Exchange Based project, Technology to benefit the industry should be one that is good for long hold :)

can say the same about Confi. firstly they make real good contribution to customer by this affecting whole industry. i'm not storyteller, check the real facts on Merkle https://themerkle.com/confideal-create-anonymous-smart-contracts-on-the-ethereum-blockchain/

I think that in this case it is not necessary to keep certain coins in the portfolio, but we must always reveal the portfolio as other coins develop. And constantly watch the market.

4 to 5 years is a very long term investment. I cannot see any reason why you will end up with losses if that is your term of investment. I think almost all the top coins will become very big by that time. You can easily get the top 20 coins in the list today and you are already good to go. The future is cryptocurrencies. We are still starting right now. Some others in the top may die but most of them will probably become even bigger.

As history of Bitcoin show, long term investment in crypto can be very profitable. In my opinion it is always good to buy even little amount of new coins and hold .. just for any case ;)

I want to know if POSW is a good choice for long term investement

an interesting project for a long long term is ADA
big chance to be adopted some time at 2018-2019

If you don't want write more about this project, you should at least give us links to announcement thread or website..

eth definitely. better buy it for longterm hodl send to the confideal ico smart contracts as Medium says https://medium.com/@confideal/how-to-participate-in-confideal-ico-e0a6da9057a9

Take a look at Universa.io - Fully Customizable Blockchain
Their ICO is already started for a couple of days and they raised 12M USD and 40 days ahead.
Hard cap is 99M USD.
John McAfee as Advisor.

I am hodling DTB for long term but it continously dropped from the my buy price. I hope it will recover asap.

Your portfolio seems to be good and not that bad also for a person who is into crypto for like less than 3 months, am quite surprised to be honest. You can hold bitcoin cash, has a lot of potential and not a shitcoin like bitcoin gold. Even civic is a good option that you can think of considering.
But are you sure that you will be holding it for like 4-5 years, that's not the best option ,rather trade your coins and use some basic strategies and keep some bitcoin always in your portfolio.

Long term hold crypto in my opinion
1. Bitcoin ( you know what the reason )
2. Bitcoin cash ( even it is only hard fork coin but many miner support it )
3. Ethereum ( i have no doubt ethereum will have a very good futures )
4. Neo ( it will be good if chinese goverment lift the banned ico )
5. Litecoin ( the first altcoin using acrypt )
6. Vertcoin ( the team make new development and it is lyra2 algorithm coin.
7. Dash ( the first instantx and masternodes coin and proof of stake )

I don't think that vertcoin and bitcoin cash is going to make it, but all the rest have potential.

Ethereum and dash are proven investments for a long time now and there is no disputing. Bitcoin is the reigning champ and doesn't seem to be able to be overtaken by anyone right now as well. These are all HODL coins that i personally hold.

NEO is somewhat risky to invest in but long term, should still be profitable.

I've heard a lot about Confideal. https://medium.com/@confideal/why-will-confideal-ico-be-successful-ad293f09d7e1
Think you should try it

Good call on ADX and OMG!
Not so sure about Ripple in the long run.
NEO is fine too.
The other 2 I don't know.

Please add some Bitcoin to your (already good looking) portfolio!

Guys, what do you think about ICOs that involve investors with bounty campaigns. In my opinion it quite bad strategy – Cult of the cargo. You get token for Facebook repost and wait until ICO to sell in case everything go fine.
Such approach is useless for investors and projects. First does not even read white paper and projects think they have real interested audience lol.
Heard about people who believe Totum and U-Trust are very promising ICO in October but I prefer Confideal – it is reliable guys. Telegram support is really great I fill confident investing cash.

buy monero. It does not change its BTC value.

I look forward to Eth, KNC, EOS, AE, and XAS these days, which are on my portofolio list, and if their price keep on dropping, i will buy more, but it seems to be rising

I have many categories in my mind. I divide them into categories while considering to hold.

DEX exchange models to hold:
OAX, WAVES, Binance (BNB) cryptos.

Hyped ones to hold for minority:
Bancor, Tezos and Monetha.

Promising ones with the core project:
ETH, ETC and XMR.

Besides, bitcoin is the king of the holders so don't forget it.

Aeternity for me!

I think almost all the top 20-30 coins in the crypto market today will yield some big profits if your duration for holding is 4 to 5 years time. That is a real long-term holding. I guess you do not have to worry choosing which one is really cheap or not. Most probably, everything is already flying high by that time. But you better be safe with some investment in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Waves also. These are coins that will surely survive.

Long term holds for me: BTC, ETH, NEO, OMG & BNB

Buy more coins now,
they are super cheap now.

HODL.
NEO is one of the option.

I hodl lisk, ether, waves
waiting altcoin pump time

NO ONE KNOWS  ;D

Good list, I hold most of mentioned coins, the ones that I don't have are BAT and zencash, in addition, I have ICN and TRST,  I think in making new investments now as all altcoins are down.

Viacoin x100 2018 easy!

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DNU-scnXUAAAdaX.jpg

https://medium.com/@viacoin/viacoin-development-update-10-2017-a4652e7676d2

I hold Nexus, iexec and XAS.
But for the first, it s not easy with the dump :-[

i hold Money in ETC and OMG

NEO since its blockchain will be more active next year. It can be the alternative of ethereum and assians will support it.

BOS since they have also their own blockchain and the network will grow much potentially since it's a Korean project.

IOTA because the pumpers behind it are hiding now and when they exist, it's gonna rock the market.

Projects where the holders don't talk about "moons" "rocket ships" "lambo"

ETH/Waves/SNM/Unikoingold/Stratis/NEBL are my holds.

For me the best hold coins are:

Bitcoin
Waves
Maybe deeponion but i am not sure about it

opus , playkey , kick , ebtc .
Hope one of these coins will go up in a few years  :-\

keeping Neo and Sia for a long time is a logical idea and they will be successful in the coming years,China guarantees this

One of the best long term coins to hold in my opinion is Waves,

The upcoming Roadmap is exceptionally good, and they should have completed most of their updates in the next 6-12 months.

They have a working DEX and tokens are being created on their platform already, when you look at NEO which has one Token so far ( Red Pulse) but a coin price 8x that of Waves it just goes to show how under priced Waves really is.

While altcoins are down we should grab some bags and put all our desire coins and hodl it. Pick undervalued coins and gonna wait for years to make profit.

You can also add to your list monero, ripple, monaco and pillar as I can see this skyrocket high next year. Hope you don't miss the ride.

I am grabbing Monaco now because I've been wanting to hold this coin and I think right now is the best time to buy its very cheap, actually almost everything is cheap right now. But I only have few bitcoin left to invest in altcoins so I am choosing Monaco.

Bitcoin is the best for longterm Hodl,,
if you want to hold some altcoin just go with ethereum  ;)

EH? Maybe Bitcoin, ETC, XMR, ANT, Waves and some of these ..

I'd hold major platforms like ETH, NEO, WAVES, XEM, BTS. They already in use for a long time.

Ripple?

As usual I read some specific telegram channels, this topic is really popular. Then I search some top-sites such as icobench. Last time found two interesting project: Jibrel Network and Confideal. Also my friend told me to search info about ZXC. It is so hard for me to understand, maybe one can tell me what the point.

It's a lot more risky because you don't have access to the coins for a long time but I believe the polkadot project will be a good long term play because it is doing really important work for the whole eco-system.

Other than that Ethereum because it has the best community of developers.

I'm holding into my ETH as I always say on my other post that even though I don't have a lot of knowledge yet in this business, I have my faith and trust in ETH and also I consider my instinct. I'm only investing my time to earn and I'm not into investments. Other than ETH, I'm waiting for my bounty in ETN which currently doing good as of the moment and I believe that it is a long term HODL crypto as well.

I prefer the incoming Comsa than this... ;)

By the look of btc,i would say people who is about to invest somewhere ,they should wait a bit.Seems to me "bubble thing" might happen soon.BTC jump was to big this year.All alta will go even lower then as well

add ADA to your list  8)
a good coin for holding..

ETH and Zen are 2 favorite altcoins, which i plan as long term options. Both have a special concept. Moreover, his weak condition makes it easier for me to buy more than before.

I just invested some money in the DeepOnion. I think this one will rise high within 2 or 3 years. Now you can buy them for +/- 40 cents each. I think they will be like between the 4 and 10 euro at the end of 2018. I could be wrong.. but i only invested like 25 euro.

At the moment, I have zeros holding of BTC..All of my investment have been in alt coins. I think  I will reshuffle my portfolio after the fork and keep some BTC. In the meanwhile, I will continue to bag ZRX, ENG, NEO, ETP, RPX, ZEN, SNT, KNC, BNB, COSS, AST. I think most of the exchange tokens will do well in the long term. My thesis is very simple: Trading will be a big part of the crypto economy in the long term. Exchanges which survive will make tons of money from the trading fee.

As far as my experience, I think the current price of Monaco still higher than its real value.
I think the price of Monaco should decreases to $3 per coin or $4 instead of $5-$6 per token.
Because the cheapest price of Monaco was 1 - 2 dollars :)

I will have a look at this one! Seems interesting, although not having control over the coins is a huge risk, but thats the whole life, and if you are in crypto you are a risk addict anyways... so no regrets, just do it aight! By the way as you mentioned Ethereum, I would also suggest to take a look at ARDOR they want to achieve a great ecosystem too. To be more precise they want to achieve the ecosystem that Ethereum once desired to become. Lets see how that works out!

You are really an investor of ICOs. I have saw almost altcoins you are holding instead of Bitcoin are ICOs token, but you must to know the risk of these tokens, because the trending of ICOs seems ended recently. The next trending maybe the altcoins or FIAT.

When you say long term HOLD, only one thing comes to my mind  BTC. All other alts may or may not remain for longtime but with current BTC bull run it has proven that its the king and will remain in future too!

Im holding Anoncoin and Sequence

Easy way to pick long term HODLs without knowing the future is to have some position in most of the top
20 coins. After that, one can gamble into lesser known ones going by researching into those on this board
and other places.

I'm holding SONM, its really undervalued, stron developments, community day by day bigger.

I have no doubt about Syscoin - it is sleeping giant. Now they are testing masternodes. Better buy at least a bit to your basket cos is cheap now - only $0.20 per coin.

EOS and IOTA. they will give huge returns in the future. they already went up quit a lot ever since the ICO.

Bitshares is better than both

I love these kind of reviews in our forums. SO.. I wanna write my own coins: Ethereum as its the best altcoin ever and it will always be. There will always be demand for it.
Omisego as coins targeting banks don't work but I trust omisego so much.

Put ETH , waves and lisk in your list,,
because in my opinion the third cryptos above is have a good future

from your list best one is XRP because it rise slowly and get trust (have future ) so hold XRP and invest on it

out of the crypto's you listed I like the following: NEO, XRP, SIA

NEO: Because it's basically a hedge to ETH, which means that if something goes wrong with Ethereum, everyone will run to NEO and integrate their smart contract platform. Another cool feature of NEO is that it serves the Asian market, and that's a huge market which will grow even more than others (in terms of blockchain adoption)

XRP: It's pretty clear that the project has proved to be able not only to integrate their technology with other banks but create long lasting partnerships, most of the partners are big institutions and banks and they have already bought and adopted the XRP infrastructure for intercompany payments

SIA: decentralized storage is gonna be pretty big, and even though SIA has many competitors it is still a solid investment. The fact that they have been around longer than most other projects and the fact that  they keep on engaging with their audience and followers on a daily basis is really important. I'm bullish on SIA but they should have a look at what the competition is up to Filecoin etc.

i have many coins in my wallet and i save the coins for a long term hodl cryptos. but if the price is increase, i will sell it to reach my profit. i still save xrp, ethereum, litecoin, monero, and i can waiting for a long term. i know every coins price is down because of bitcoin trend is up but i am sure that the altcoin time will rise later so i can prepare to sell some amount of the coins.

I wanna add PayPie, Paragon, ETH and BCH for you. Both of them are good famous altcoins and new tokens from ICOs. You won't be dissapointed with your choices.

Core: BTC, ETH and LTC

Hedges:
- ETC and NEO as hedges for ETH
- BCH (continue to HODL from the fork, no need to split old addresses IMO). Combined value of BTC/BCH for most of us is already ~10,000 USD

Payments: DASH and XRP

Privacy: DASH, Monero, ZCash

Tokens: Throw a dart at a few speculative but high quality ones

Those coins need few more times to drop price before rising, you should wait before buy these coins.

if getting in with the right timing it will maximize the profits, so if there's some chances that the value will fall its better to wait for a while then
buy in then hold for some years surely it will bring acceptable gains, i read also some feedback with this two project and I'm getting some
interest to join as well.

For Longterm only Bitcoin and Eth are the viable assests. No point in investing shitcoins as you never know when the company might close down!

Electroneum. When they done with the new Safety features, then it will come some good news. The devs from Electroneum have very good connection to another Devs of another non crypto Project. SilliconValley Connection ;)

ETH
EOS
PPT
OMG

Obvious ones:
Bitcoin, Ethereum
Blockchain "platforms" and ecosystems (those will be huge because of increasing demand, my guess):
Lisk, Stratis, Waves, Neo, Metaverse ETP, Dragonchain, Komodo, Shift
IoT sector (gonna be big, data is money):
Iota, Modum, VeChain, Walton
Privacy:
Monero, Pivx, (maybe Dash, but don't like it too much)
Misc (transportation, computing, payment, smart contracts):
DOVU, SONM, OmiseGo, WeTrust, ChainLink

Obviously there are even more great coins. Just a selection of mine.

I invest long term with DGB, XVG, STRAT and BCS. These are the altcoin I have watched for so long, these altcoin are all good coin with many outstanding features. The community is very interested in it because the dev team has a very professional strategy.

Why is Waves a better long term HODL option than BTS when it comes to DEX? Serious question.

I see many references to waves but very few to bitshares - what makes waves superior?

I think bitcoin was still the best coin to hold for the long time.
Aside from that bitcoin is the top currency as of now.
But in terms of Altcoin its better to stick with the ethereum.
Who have already $500 value.
It also a good coin to keep

For a safe bet, BTC, LTC, ETH (all basically guaranteed to rise, and BTC/LTC being very very safe bets in the crypto world)
For a riskier bet, AntShares(now Neo).
Maybe Siacoin, but they have a long way to go to complete their project.

IOTA for sure, BTC, XMR, ETH, ETC maybe, LTC maybe and some more like PAY from TenX, ZEC, NEO! and much much more, but be careful nobody knows where markets go ;)

Spectrecoin (XSPEC) is the cryptocurrency that I have the most confidence in for the long term.

With government increasingly seeking to regulate cryptos and track users, the future of cryptocurrency belongs to the best anon coins.  Spectrecoin is one of the most secure and anonymous coins, delivering a variety of state-of-the-art privacy and anonymity features such as native Tor integration, OBFS4 obfuscation protocol to enable usage in Tor blocked countries, ring signatures, and stealth staking (coming soon).  It is a proof of stake coin which allows users to collect generous staking rewards (5% apr) using only their personal computer, with little electricity consumption.

The best part is that it is a true sleeping giant with explosive potential: There are only about 21 million coins in circulation, yet it is still priced at under $1.  This is not likely to remain the case for long.  Spectrecoin is the go-to anon coin of the future.

Check out the Spectrecoin wiki to see why I am excited about it: http://coinwiki.info/en/SpectreCoin

IOTA, Monero and Vertcoin. I believed all these three projects since the beginning and they've been doing great recently, IOTA has been already partnering with big companies and Monero's privacy will gain much more importance as the bitcoin rush slows down, hands down all three will be winners in 2018.

Holding cryptocurrency for a long time can be called an investment. Cryptocurrency investment is risky when compared to gold and silver investments and property investment. That's because the price of a cryptocurrency can go up and down all the time. We can not predict and can only hope for the best. For long-term investment, I like some cryptocurrency as follows: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and some other cryptocurrency. The most certain is Bitcoin because Bitcoin is the best and have the most promising price.

NEM (XEM) is a true sleeping giant, but the alarm clock is about to go off for this one. Time to wake up the big beast.

I also put etherium in first stage after bitcoin. I believe with sleep power of etherium.
Second is waves. Waves is exist platform and slowly growing up. In future is very good.

In my view, I don't think that SIA, XVG and ADEX are suitable for the long-term investment. Their prices have a big fluctuation, so, you should trade them in short-term.

Hey!
One of few lucky holders out there.
The main things with the project - is that they have professional cryptographers in a team with 10+ years of experience. Blockchain was just a trigger that was calling for it

Going to post about it also

I agree,
XRP is a coin to HODL

This one should also for HODL

DeepOnion right now is worth holding due to the popularity of the coin its self the community are very supportive on the project

https://globalcoinreport.com/heres-why-now-might-be-a-good-time-to-pick-up-some-spectrecoin-xpsec/

Of course you should invest in SpectreCoin
Just look! This is a fantastic project !!!

I would stick with coins that hold at least 0.5-1% market cap. Then do your research on a coin that you think will be needed in the future. Think of liquidity, technology and popularity.

ADA is best long term right now
i think that it will have very huge marketcap in 5 years ..

Spectrecoin (XSPEC) is my long term HODL - it's potential is so much more than it's current price suggests. Yes, I'm disappointed that it has risen as much as other alts over the past weeks, but there are big releases coming in v2.0 (default stealth addresses, ring signatures). You can find more out about developments and speak to the devs and the rest of the community over at Slack (and to a less extent on Telegram). Would advise many to use the opportunity to at least get a few xspec at this low price and back a coin that truly defines what privacy and access should be.

My portfolio for long-term storage consists of several coins, in order to reduce risks. I hope that Monero, Dash, LTC and NEO will give good growth in middle and long term.

What do you think about tenx (PAY)?
The price is pretty good to buy. we can make some money and earn money in a few months.
I think a project worth to appreciate :)

It depends cause the best is and will be bitcoin... If you invest in it after some downs which will have place surely in next weeks you could earn lot.

Bitcoin, (obviously). Ethereum, as it hasn't even scratched the surface of its potential in terms of being a world computer. Gridcoin is super under-valued right now, good time to get a bunch of em. And DeepOnion has been performing phenomenally as of late. Those are my holds.

i like sonm - i feel as it is undervalued at a 55mil market cap

My prediction for a long term hodl cryptos are SONM, TRIG, AMB, Power Ledger, Stellar Lumens, XRP and of course BITCOIN.

My HODL are Stellar Lumen, OMG, IOTA and ETH

Waves/Sonm/Cappasity/Neblio are my most bullish bets.

I have tried to be continuously updated regarding the altcoins with the potential to experience a strong rise in coming months, although to be honest in my portfolio I also include options that offer interesting technological innovations, regardless of whether the big capitals consider them as valuable as long-term assets.

In this way, in my portfolio I include NEO, Iota, DeepOnion, BQX, ByeBall, BitcoinCash, ethereum, Pivx, Crypto20 and of course, the always reliable Bitcoin.

it makes sense to look at projects that can potentially change the future infrastructure of the crypto world. the project must carry a profit in order to be in demand.

I currently have some unknowns in my roster of alt coins being held since July. BOAT and SIA and LOOPRING among others. I know that Bitcoin is having its heyday but I am positive that the alts will also have some moon period in the near future.

Each people has their own perspective and we would be respect it.
In my opinion, etherium, waves and dash are my favorite coin so far.

Each people have owned favorite crypto's and I know that want to hold it in the future, because they were believe to the potential of it. Also in my opinion all crypto currencies have own advantages and disadvantages to each one. Moreover if you define the characteristic of each digital currency you will notice that all of this are having a strategy on how they were survive in the future.

For me the better crypto currency that good to hold for long term are the stratis, ethereum, and bitcoin cash these are the altcoins that good to hold for long period of time. In addition I also save my bitcoin because I believe that it will reach million in the future.

I agree to stratis and ethereum but i don't think to bitcoin cash because it was only increasing when miners support this coin. I believe that when you hold both this coin you can sure that you will earn much income in the future.
However I was also thinking if I invest into waves and ark because these coin have shows of good performance lately, so I guess there's no wrong if I invest in this crypto currency.

I think that Bitcoin cash is also a good coin for long term. Because it has many advantages when comparing with Bitcoin. It has been choosen when Bitcoin could not execute Segwit2x. Besides, I wanna add Litecoin and IOTA because their performance recently.

BTC

You really can't go wrong investing in the top 10.....they're there for a reason. And still to this day making great gains.

but if btc keep going up alt keep going down

Bitcoin with Rootstock and Lightning is a no brainer.

I wondering why you dont choose Bitcoin and Bitcoin cash. There is no doubt that those are good coin for the long-term investment. If you dont hold them, you will lose much profit

Longterm I would chose Bitcoin and ETH (but wait for the next correction for a good entry point). Medium term (1 to 3 years) I would suggest Ardor, Verge and Electroneum.

Waves it will give more until next 2-3 months of holding much waves

Ofcourse bitcoin and monero and a few top coins, but for me the best Hodl coin right now (for highest possible return): DeepOnion. I already made a huge profit and is still only $4. It surely will be above $100 in the future

My long term hold will be Bitcoin and Litecoin, because I feel Bitcoin is here to stay and Litecoin is doing well in it Silver status, I don't think for now there is any Altcoin I can say is fail proof, ethereum is showing its vulnerability anytime it wants to innovate and evolve

I suggest you to put small ammount to these alt :
1. Next coin
2. Potcoin
3. Vertcoin

Those coin is an old alt coin which still have a huge community behind it.vert coin is halving this month. Potcoin have a cannabis transaction and next coin have a good project on top of its blockchain and maybe there will be the good project next year.

1) Bitcoin
2) Ethereum
3) Digibyte
4) Litecoin

When it comes to holding too long bitcoin will win the race as I don't have any plan to sell it at a moment and rest 3 will keep on selling high and buying again at the dip.

Kick , EMT, CTX,AHT these are few coins that Im holding in my portfolio for almost 5 months now, and they're doing just fine. Im looking forward for a huge pump from one of these coins next year. Why dont you invest to Bitcoin? You said you want to invest for long term. 4-5 years will be a good numbers for Bitcoin to grow.

I would keep these long-term coins for profit. Bitcoin, Litcoin, Ethereum, Monero and Waves. The biggest part would be kept in the bitcoin.

I fully agree with this, and even on Bitcoin, even today my feet were lucky who kept Bitcoin and did not panic at early fluctuations of the rate. Today's price speaks volumes.

IOTA, if it can keep up with its partnerships, will probably 10x in 3-5 years and could be considered a good HODL with BTC, LTC that others have mentioned. Partnerships are a huge part of real-world use cases and development so look for projects that are not only cash-flush but ones that have external support.

Vertcoin is going very well, I think you can see $ 50 in 6 months. This level is too high for Vertcoin. VIA can follow a similar path. Such projects are useful to follow.

Rise and shine XEM!!!

I almost invested in XEM two days ago. Regretting my hesitation now. :(

If you think about keeping it for a long time, almost every coin you buy will profit you. But I think that the most profit will be the coins with their own blockchain substructure.

I would also keep Ethereum while Bitcoin gets more expensive. There is not an issue with the price, the only issue is how people will use the coins.

Aside from BTC and ETH, I'd say..

TIO (Trade.io) [still in ICO stage]
Quantstamp
PowerLedger
Golem
OmiseGO
Rialto

Listed in order of potential growth.

ACC and POS is going to moon tokens.
it has a great potential to be pump up in future!.

My long term HODL coin choices are Ripple, Cardano, Enjin and IOTA.
Those coins are cheap at the moment and should hit 10x in next few months

agreed,stay with bitcoin the only coin that would survive for that long time.4-5 years of holding will make you more that 10x richer and maybe much more.as we see how high bitcoin reach for just a year of 2017 so what more for that 5 years time.hugely amazing for sure

holding coins can be much safer than trading we dont have to worry about loosing coins when trading and worry about the price in next day, just holding as long as we can until in the future we can sell for profit.

In the long run, I would definitely HODL these cryptos I own:

1. ETN (Electroneum)
2. DOGE (Dogecoin)
3. XRP (Ripple)
4. PRG (Paragon)
5. BMC (Blackmoon Crypto)
6. UCH (UCoinCash)
7. PLX (Plexcoin)

I'm not sure yet about the other coins that I'm holding, but it would depend on the market and trading volume. I like to #HODL them because there's a lot of room for growth for them. Massive adoption is the key. Once it happens, some of them will fly to the moon.

Why UCH. I can't withdraw my ETH

of course XRP. XRP slowly but sure to invesment for long term
XRP have active dev, for now people looks not interest but in future very high price of XRP

There are plenty of cryptos to hold  long term base on the project itself. I think NEO, Oyster Protocol (PRL) , IOTA and XRP.
If you have small.amount of money you can accumulate PRL because its still cheap.

xvg xlm eth emc2 ada xrp

Just take a look on SYSCOIN - They don't have marketing campaign, but developers are very active. In my opinion this coin in 2018 will explode!
Now they are testing masternodes, if everything will be ok, in February they will run them in mainnet.
 

I am fond of Gulden, been following the market for a long time. I believe Bitcoin and crypto currency is the future. Unfortunately, I am not rich enough to buy one whole bitcoin, but I would like to trade and learn more. I did some simulations to be able to understand the market and I have a good understanding. Gulden will rise, no doubt.

i’m not know about other coin in your list but best three is NEO, OMG, XRP

XRP is my choose if i want to invest. NEO, OMG is best altcoin for XRP

No. In my opinion your portfolio are so good now. Did you research carefully yet? I'm so amazing when you can choose the good coins when you are just a newbie.

neo and siacoin are a logical option for long term investment.
I would also suggest waves for long-term investments

Looks like op already made massive gains on his pick back in 2017 and isn't visiting bitcointalk that much recently :-D

iota, omg, neo, icon, aion, wan should be proven good in long term

Your choices are good but for the rest that you've mention i believe NEO is the most promising once. Been reading articles bout cryptos and most of the persons there are really fascinated about the rise of this coin. I also believe on their insight that this might be the coin of the 2018. So i my self are having NEO platforms in my portfolio like DeepBrainChain for example. This is just my opinion i believe most of the comments right here are also on point.

Well I believed that NEO is a good choice for a long term investment. It may not rise so fast like the other coin , but it not also fall down easily like other. Neo is not like ripple that can be profitable in short term it takes time before you have your profit. But it surely great and ideal for you.
Aside from Neo you can also try Ethereum , which is the most known and trusted altcoin.

All that's in the portfolio of Op is promising and has got good growth potential. Just holding it long term will surely profit big. In specific NEO is expected to make a big increase with time. Unlike the current market for these altcoins its good to invest whenever the price drops.

I'm hodling these coins:
- RPX
- NEBL
- ONION
- DENT
- QLC
- XRB
- OXY
- CPY (in ICO stage)

All high risk high reward coins.

I am also a big fan of Syscoin but you are wrong by saying that they dont have a marketing campaign because they just hired a marketing agency a few months ago.

For more information check this thread out

0x,OAX,Ubiq,Waves

I am hodling DMD - Diamonds for a long term. Rare coin with a very limited supply. Great price performance during the last 4 years. Enjoy staking and MN rewards during the periods of the market stagnation. Excellent development and support team. Clear roadmap for the long term.

Strange none   mentions   Iot  chain

It's  like   Raiblock  when 0,03  cent

As  usuallll  they will  fomo  next  year  when mainet  release, instead  of  buying cheap  

The coins that i hodl are: NEO, NEM, Vechain, Waves, Qash, Gulden, Raiblocks and of course Ethereum

All of the crypto  that you've mentioned are good to hold for long term but for me EOS , AE , and TRX are also good to hold for log term .

Modium,Trx, Ven is my choice.Also thinking to buy Ary and Xby.Xby could be a second ethereum in few years.

I agree with you on neo and adex and i am 50/50 on riple but xvg and sia are done imo even tho sia have a working project but i think asics will flood the market with new coins.Xvg already had its x50 last year and its probably done and will go only down

in my opinion, xvg is for a long-term investment and maybe if the price is done now, we still have another day to see the price it increases back. I still have some amount of xvg and sia and I think sia could be as xvg which only increase in a long-term. but I still waiting on ripple and neo because this coins could be increased again in this month or next month.

I made you a list, my friend
1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. Waves
4. Ark
5. Basic attention token
6. Lisk
7. Zencash
you can hold them for a long time

I agree with this list. But I now keep in the portfolio only the alts, which can grow several times in a short time.

I totally agree with you that these coins will rise up sooner or later. You just need some time to hold them all.. We could see some sucker rallys in near future but thats okey for me, I have enough money to sit it out!  ;D

I personaly have done some translations for ZONTO project. Well their token is definetely something for long keeping, the price now is funny, but the project goes well in developing.

I don’t think so many will be willing to try this out and I myself like to stick with the older ones. The main reason is the present dip. Already people rather new investors are showing distrust in the best crypto coins and the old ones are really happy with their holdings.

There is no chance of investing here. While people have options like bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, neo, waves, Ethereum classic and ripple, they would like to make profit from them.

Hey All,

Do not discount $ONION, DRGN and PRL...available at good price...personally I think $ONION is your route to Lambo and a Mansion :)

Never heard of this project and every time I've seen people who have this type of token they are saying this thing. I'm not saying that this is something that you should ignore but ETH, bitcoin went through this stage of having a funny price and now they are enormously growing. I'm still looking for those tokens that are good for long term holding but I prefer those coins that are on the top 100 spot except those centralized coins like XRP.

sonm has the potential to go x100 from here before the end of 2019. that would still only be a marketcap of 4.4 billion, with each coin being worth around 10$. those who doubt this, simply don't understand what sonm will deliver

HOLD Forever .....
Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has forecasted that Bitcoin’s price will reach $91,000 by March 2020, basing his prediction on a chart that shows Bitcoin’s (BTC) performances after past market dips, Forbes reported March 17.

My experience is saying that, If you are interested to hold for 4-5 years then firstly you should buy "Bitcoin" and secondly "ethereum"and the third is "waves". This three are very promising and they will be increase in the near future and I think withing next 2 years this three coins will go to the moon. So buy this coins as much as you can and hold it.

For shit coins that I personally think have great potential (though I am definitely biased)

Veggiecoin:

- No ICO
- Finished product
- Fresh idea (20% of mined coins go to animal charities that the community vote on)
- Active devs and clear roadmap

Steffycoin

- Great utility (coins are coupon codes for real world items)
- Great devs
- PoW
- Finished product

Not so shit coins

Bitcoin Cash:

- Fast, cheap, secure, good devs, need I say more?

Basic Attention Token:

- Great use case and utility
- Backed by creater of Mozilla

I like your list alot - I would add iExec RLC and AEternity to that list

My advice you should buy Ethereum coins. Because Ethereum from year to year its development is always there and the price is always up. I am sure Ethereum is a very promising coin for a long period of 4 to 5 years. You should try it now before you regret it later.

We're talking about other cryptocurrencies here not BTC in general. Why don't you replace it with Bitcoin Cash instead? It has a lot of potential as there is more room for growth and improvement. Also, there's no such thing as holding forever. There will be a day or time that you need to exit your investment in order to experience its profits. That statement alone is ridiculous.


Good portfolio and nice picks except for Ethereum. I'd rather go with a coin that hasn't been into the scene for at least a year or two.

Ripple has the same potential as RaiBlocks and I'm hoping that its market value will surge up this year like what the latter did.

does bitcoin has future?

I like the list, thank you very much and I think every coin in that list is still cheap price except bitcoin and ethereum. so even if he only has a small amount, he could still buy all of the coins and hold them for a long time. I have a good feeling for all the coin that it will increase not too long than now and I hope it will get up in the next few months after this drama.
