This is an article posted earlier today talking about more stable altcoins. Obviously there is less upside with coins like these, but I wondered what everyone thought?

I don't see any point for a coin to be very stable with no growing. A coin I would recommend for it's stability and potential growing would be Diamonds.

I really agree with you, if only stable and not grow it the same thing its useless. in terms of profit nothing can be obtained.

I think that buying or owning a stable coin is a waste of time and money, that's why you should look for active coin and invest in them and waiting for a good time to sell will be better and more profitable

I dont see coins that do have stable price specially on cryptoworld even on real world investments you cant see a stable one which if we do say about stable it prices doesnt move and that opposes the characteristics on all coins in the market either on crypto or on local fiat currencies itself even on stocks too and commodities which these things are commonly traded.Therefore theres an activity which causes price movements.

I think it's fair to say that Litecoin is a relatively stable altcoin, though it has had a massive run-up this year. It also has Charlie Lee, a dedicated lead developer. It is one of the oldest altcoins. It will be interesting to see if it remains stable as bitcoin gets upgraded.

I agree. There's real opportunity cost in investing in "stable" altcoin. If you give up on a coin, because it doesn't seem stable (and invest in some stable one instead) but later that coin goes through roof, you forfeited that profit.

There are no coin available that will be stable.But why you are looking for a stable coin?? A stable coin is not profitable.Its loss of time and waste of money to me.You need to chose a coin that has pump and dump.Try to buy good coin you can earn profit from them at least.

I came across this pre-sale, the coin according to their whitepaper will be backed by startups who pledge a small % of their revenue. As long as they keep having profitable startups, the coin will be backed by something. That seems more stable than 99% of coins.

What do you think?

look at the top 10 and pick one. They are stable

But what if you give up on a coin, because it doesn't seem stable, and then later that coin has a huge dip. Then you have locked in that profit.

I agree that stability can forfeit some profit, but it can also prevent loss. If you are into timing the market stable coins can still help. Exchange your profitable coin at it's peak to buy a stable coin, and then sell out of your stable coin  and into your profitable coin when your profitable coin dips again.  If I held some of those platinm coins today for example, I wouldn't have lost quite so much money. :P

I don't think there is such a thing as a stable altcoin and I also see no reason to want to find one? If your aim is to invest and increase the value of your holdings then you will want a coin that is growing. Ideally I guess you would like a coin with low volatility (this isn't stability) and large growth but normally large growth goes hand in hand with high volatility.

I think that the most stable altcoins right now are Waves and Litecoin, they have been in their levels from months/weeks.
Litecoin made a recently pump, but from $40 to $60, and it was not a very big movement, only a 50%. And waves has been between $3,80 and $6 for more than two months. Ethereum classic is so stable too, but maybe it is more than a quiet altcoin, because it is so useless.

In my opinion coins you mentioned especially Litecoin and Waves will increase in price very much soon. After Dash and Monero, now its their turn.

Stable altcoins? Let me see hmmmmm there is no stable altcoins even bitcoin is not stable this is a speculative market hence the volatility is high probably if alot of people going to use this then it can have a stable price.

The most stable alt-coin, dadadannnnn - USDT

As it's always equal to 1 USD per coin, you can hold it for long time and you can be sure that you will not lose any money :)

MAID is pretty stable I'd say - has a range that it fluctuates in, but seldom drops below or rises higher. Until recent corrections, it was steady sustainable growth.

Litecoin is a pretty stable altcoin. Better Bitcoin alternative and is headed to the moon!

LOL Tether I guess most stable alt coin I know

Right, tether with fixed price cannot make any gain or loss, so i wouldnt coinsider this as an "altcoin"
2 OP - Litecoin (already mentionaed above), DASH and Monero seems quite stable in terms of crypto.

I don't think that there can be any stable altcoin and what is the meaning of investing in stable altcoins as it will never give you profits and investing in such a coin is a waste to time and money so if you want to make some profits then you should choose fluctuating coin to make timely profits.

Litecoin is reffered to as “silver to Bitcoin’s gold”, it is the crypto next to Bitcoin, although Litecoin is almost similar to Bitcoin, Litecoin has faster transaction confirmation than Bitcoin. It’s an alt coin that has a growing number of merchants who accept Litecoin esp. Chinese and very stable in the system.

No doubt LTC looks good at a moment but I am also attracted towards waves as it has a great team involved and with more development in future its price can go beyond our imagination and sounds a good place to invest some money in it.

Nobody can say this & that coin is stable if the coins are stable then you can not earn good money from trading but you can ask in thread what are the good coins then people can suggest you some good coins. In my opinion there are some good coins that you can buy & hold for long that are XRP, XMR, DASH, STRATIS, WAVES, ETC, LTC, LSK, SC etc.

As I see the must stable altcoins are ETC, LTC, Ripple

Stability for altcoins is a relative thing. The very concept of altcoins implies volotility. It will take at least 5 years until the prices get exhausted. At the moment, to stable ALT I would take Litecoin, Dash

If you are talking of stable value and rank then you will have your complete viewing at coinmarketcap.com for your complete details and stable trend referrence. But if you are asking if the value of altcoins are stable then we couldn't determine that because there are many kinds of altcoin that we have now and many more are coming. Altcoins have different path and characteristics therefore we cannot make their value a centralized one and declare it a stable or not. May you should ask what coin are stable?

There can be a lot of value in a coin that has volatility around a stable average price... this would be perfect for trading as you could almost guarantee great entry and exit points.

But if it has low volatility as well as a stable average then no, I can't see any point at all beyond using it as a safe haven when the whole market turns red. But if you're going to do that, then just used a pegged crypto such as Tether.

in my opinion, waves and stratis are the most stable coins in these conditions. Waves has a good decentralized exchange and has good future due to many icos shifting to its platform due to many hacking issues with eth platform.

Volatility is the price for the chance of gaining a profit. Using a "stable" altcoin (or a "stable" stock or other asset) will eliminate the chance to grow. But there are some alts (especially Verge, Monero and other coins that offer secret payments) that can grow even if most other alts are falling. Of course they also have their volatility.

I haven't seen any altcoin that has been stable for a long time and if its stable and you have invested in it then you will never make good profits from it so if you are into trading and if you have invested in any coin then price volatility should be mandatory to make timely profits.

In crashing market for now OMG looks good and relatively stable.

After cryptocurrency banned in china all cryptocurrency at these time are not stable. some might drop down to the bottom. some might survive. Because of that no cryptocurrency has yet stable.Im waiting for the right time to buy some coins that i think good to buy. Coins that has community backup will live more longer than hype coins. Do more research and pick good coins to invest. Hope all going good at the end.

the effect of banning cryptocurrency in china is very high to the price of all coins. the effect will result in the unstable price of the coin.
may have to be patient in advance to be able to make the coin prices stable and can maximize buy and sell coins.

For me i would recommend bitconnect (BCC) due to his profitable flatform.

Don't fall for altcoins at a moment as anything is possible with its price in coming days and it can even crash badly so its a big risk to invest in altcoins right now so the best thing would be to invest in bitcoin as price is relatively low and in long run it will surely bounce back.

I would choose for litecoin, it is now cheap and has the potential to rise and double his amount. While litecoin is not falling so hard. It is actually gaining more growth.

Bitcoin is now falling we see that bitcoin today is at the price of 3800. It dropped from 4600 dollars.

Frankly, I think it makes no sense in stable coins. Why should I buy a stable coin if I can buy bitcoin with the hope of growth?

The altcoin that i could recommend to you is the
Expanse coin, it has a lot of great potential in growing.

Stable growing altcoins are LTC, Ripple, NEM.
Just stable is Teether of course)))

With the current state of Bitcoin, the whole cryptocurrency market is in turmoil and no altcoin could be considered stable at the moment. With that being said, I will pick XRP and Waves as my favorites for 'stable altcoins' as they have proved their worth in the past and continue to do so. OmiseGO is another token which is looking great amidst all the disarray with stable growth.

Coins being stable is one essential part of it being used as a currency. Profits are always but with highs also comes lows, for a day to day use currency stability is fairly essential.

an stable altcoin is as useless as tits on a nun!

by definition an altcoin aka a cryptocurrency is supposed to be a currency, a decentralized one. i don't know of any cryptocurrency apart from bitcoin and a tiny bit litecoin to be used as a currency for real. (i am not talking about those that pretend it). so it doesn't matter if it is stable or not. if it really were used as a currency then stability was a great perk.

with the currency part null, the only usage is as for trading and making profit. and stability is making that null and void. we are all looking for profit, even those who are not admitting it.

No stable altcoins at the moment, everything on fire, run for your life.

The only stable coin is Theter, its value is pegged to USD, so it can never fluctuate much.

I find NEM, LSK, and ARK to be stable altcoins.

GoldCoin (GLD) is certainly one of the most stable Altcoins. And it's Segwit free! :-*

https://www.goldcointalk.org/devteam/nonsegwit.jpg

This 4-year-old coin has proven its resilience time and time again. It's up another 8% again today against Bitcoin.

I don't think that there is altcoin or altcoins that are stable because that is impossible for a cryptocurrency market to have altcoins that are stable because how they are making money if the market is stable and if the price of that altcoin is not moving up.

even the majority of fiat are not stable, let alone altcoins, besides, who will buy a stable altcoin instead of bitcoin, bitcoin will gain profits at least

Looking regarding what they consider stable to the dollar or bitcoin? In any case, there is no stable and reliable coins like gold, can be bitcoin but it is also not very stable lately.

The way the ones in the article are stable is by pegging themselves to some real world asset.

Platinm.io is pegged to platinum bullion, Digix is pegged to gold. As long as gold and platinum continue to make money, those coins will make money.

The article is interesting and somehow can be a good reference.

Stable altcoins means failure of those is less chance. But in terms of altcoin price, always remember that it will never be stable as long as it was being used more as an investment rather than a currency.

what are we look for stable coins ? maybe a little spread to get a little % profit from our capital. but safe way to do in trading ( in case OP want to trade some stable coins ) but will need big capital if want to get bigger profit

There is another stable coin the article didn't mention: https://makerdao.com/

Yes thats such a significant drop! ETH is also going down :(

The two words "Stable" and "AltCoin" cannot co-exist.

What I can see from the current markets, POS coins seem to be very, very stable. It might be, because people do not want to loose on staking results. Seeing Deeponion almost unchanged, and ARK and PIVX even climbing in this conditions.

I think the stable problem is relative to all crypto. if only stable and has no effect on market development. it's just as useless. you will not get any profit.

ARK < without doubt, steady growth.

I think the market situation has high uncertainty, and this is what makes it interesting to keep analyzing every day, everything will move and nothing is stable unless he died

I Recommend to you Ethereum in its Stability,
And still holding on 300$ price the team wont just let the price down.
and it is good for Eth Holders

Stability in itself is can mean different for different people. However, like many people mentioned here, Crypto world is quite dynamic and volatile. One should invest only what they can lose. There are few coins which have been around for quite sometime and have given more or less good returns. They are-

NET
OHM
808 etc etc....

You can start with these first and to get a feel of altcoin. The ones mentioned above are POS coins.

Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thanks and have a nice day.

Theonly one stable altcoin is tether 1 = 1$ alltome with small dips and ups.
Litecoin was ok but last time was hammered HARD so this is not true anymore.

Usually in the world of crypto you can't predict which coin is stable but as i can feel that xrp, ETH, etc, LTC are more stable coin compared to other and also have a great potential for long term.

The only "stable" altcoin is USDT, just because they base their price by the dollar which has less volatility. All other coins are based on supply and demand, they act like an asset.

Lisk, Monero and Ripple seems to be the most stable coin in the last 1-2 weeks from coinmarketcap chart

Tether is also a cryptocurrency, but its value listed and we cannot change this value easy. Only exchanger in our country can do that when the value of dollar falls down like the Forex market ;D
