I would like to add CIVIC - protect your identity.

Already released their app. You can try it on WikiHow.

I think this is the only 1 altcoin that has real use in real life.

For reall stable coin, use any fiat pegged bitasset on the Bitshares blockchain.
For example : BitUSD BitEuro BitCNY BitGold BitSilver.
Well as long as you consider fiat as stable :)

Those are not currencies.
They are scammy ICO schemes with a pseudo token tacked onto a gimmick of sorts for profit... Don't confuse the two NOOBS.

You forgot decentralized exchanges, exchanges make big profits and it is not going to be long before more regulations comes their way, an answer to that is decentralized exchanges, second if you are into gambling you could get some coins created by casinos and get dividends.

None of these use cases are proven or time tested. Don't let your lack of research get other people burned.  :)

I respectfully disagree. All of the above coin except Prediction Markets and governance and consensus coins are tested and already in use.
If you see otherwise, then I am all ears. Why don't you shed some lights so no one gets burned!

Okay this is very good distribution of the crypto currencies but they should remain the same to have that rank. Otherwise we know very well these coins keep fluctuation a lot. With that aid there is no need to add stable coin section which completely vague when we see so much unstable charts for bitcoin and litecoin. Nothig is stable here. Rest of the portfolio is good and you should add one more column which will depict how much percentage of your earning should be invested in them.

3-   Stable coin           : Bitcoin, LTE Coin

Wait!! Where is stability when Bitcoin fluctuates $1000 (+/-) in a day where $1000 is equal to 20-25% of total value!
Stability is no where in BTC dictionary.
However, if you wanna choose one, the most stable cryptocurrency at present is USDT (Tether) whose value is pegged to $1.

What about gambling coins? Edgeless, stox and dao.casino. Gambling is very big and profitable industry in the world so everyone should have those coins in their portfolios.

I commented about this as well but if you are going to make an investment in a coin like that then I think it will be a better idea that you invest in a casino that is already well established, I do not know if the BitDice ico already ended but that seemed like a good ico for those that wanted to have a coin from a reputable casino.

Zencash's anonymous messaging system allows people in repressed countries to communicate and spread information. This is one reason why it could become widely used in the future.

There are also a few tokens/coins working on sharing internet and mobile data to make it cheaper and get past bandwidth limits.

The storage coins are not just storage but a way to decentralize the internet, share information without censorship. Lunyr is not focused on storage but sharing uncensored information.
