what are the top 10 cryptocurrencies two follow up?

Not 10, but my top 5 alts:
- ETH
- NEO
- Waves
- Tenx (PAY)
- BAT

Zencash, Denarius, Signatum, Diamond, Zcash, Monero, Library, Sia and Dubaicoin... and do I need to go on?  The point is, there are plenty of potential good coins these days.

what exactly do you have in your head when you say "top"?

is it market cap? then look at here www.coinmarketcap.com
but i warn you that market cap is a useless measure for cryptocurrencies and calling them "top"

is it trading volume? then it changes every day, some altcoins are the focus of all the attention that particular day and get the highest volume of the day. these are the coins that are being pumped that day so they are the "top". check the exchanges and sort their list by volume and you can see the "top" 10.

is it the most profitable? then most altcoins are viable options. but they are on top 10 for a short time and then drop out of the list to the end of the list at position 100000000! and each day a new coins that is being pumped becomes the top 10.

is it technology? then you have to get deeper in their code and paper and try out their platforms.
my rank is this: bitcoin, Monero, GBYTE and the rest are cheap rip offs or waste of time.

Pretty much everything this person said, "top" is way too general a term. As for my $0.02, this is a bad way to decide which coins you should invest in. Holding is important when it comes to making a profit and the only way you're going to know you're not joining a scam or a pump-and-dump is by doing research and meeting the community yourself. I try not to trade in any coins that I don't have at least some reassurance that there are other people out there who are also financially invested and I'm not going to be the only loser left with a worthless coin.

Look around Altcoin announcements and see if there are any projects that have some ideas you agree with. Then, you can compare them with their market volume and cross-reference the data on their coins with the price. For example, you want to make sure that they have a competent roadmap that's going to keep the coin alive and bring it attention. If the volume is dropping because of apathy from the developer, get out!!!

My top 5 would be
BTC   King of all
BCH   Loved by Bitmain
XMR   Cryptonights representative
ETH    First smart contractor
NEO    Improved ETH (POS only already)

SIA has potential?

SIA is one of the first to bring the concept of decentralised cloud storage and is one of the few coins that have realistic uses in the real world as cloud computing/storage is a profitable business.

Maybe, maybe...

Let me see, my top are
Ethereum
ETC
BCC
Litecoin
WAVES
XRP
DOGE
NEO
...

my top list for altcoin now its still eth, etc, xmr, ltc, neo, qtum, adex, xrp, mbrs, bat, waves, stratis and still more a lot of potential altcoin.

My favourite altcoin here:

BTC Center of all.
ETH As soon as future.
MCO Good performance.
NEO All time hit.
WAVES Hold trade.

Actually altcoin has almost the same pattern, where they have a same system providing benefits to investors. It's just the path or program that they have different giving rise to something different things, For the top 10 cryptocurrency I think it's better viewed on coinmarketcap.com. Because I have the confidence that the data in it is already very valid and we just did the next step i.e. doing analysis of coin listed. the analysis is intended to match the right on what we want and we believe that it will be higher and gives a lot of advantages. ETH, BCC, and Waves have a level that I think is very potential.

For me the best Altcoin for now is Edg and Ark, because from my opinion maybe Altcoin is very good and there is always movement in their trade from before until now I still hold both Altcoin and do trading there.
