Is it better a minable coin or  a  NON-minable coin?

Also   regarding the  coin supply , obviously it's  better  when it  is low, but  how much low ?

Market cap  better  under  200'000'000

Obviously the most important  things when choosing a cripto  are  the  team  and the tecnology behind  the project...  so take  my questions  just as ''curiosity''

both are equally terrible for long term investment. and for short term investment and for using pump and dumps to make profit, all of them are good.

in the end it won't matter when it comes to pumping an altcoin.
for example Ripple has one of the biggest supplies among altcoins but it still got pumped pretty hard this year. i believe it was about 6000% in 2 months.

maybe. but in my experience none of it matters.
 look at ethereum for example. it is a crap coin with nothing good and lots of bugs and hacks and shame but an awesome pumping team with lots of money at their disposal.

in short you should look for biggest pumps if you want profit.

and  I think the biggest  pump now  it's   Waves or  stratis

Anyway.... Ethereum was  a pionier  in its sector...    you  have to look for  the pioniers...  if  you think about bitcoin, eth, dash...

For long term, you can choose the tokens that have a buy back program, in addition to working product which can generate good revenue, I suggest ICN as long term investment, they have started to buy back their tokens, this token will soar in 2018 after ICONOMI platform adds more features.

I'm a big fan of Zcash and it's forks, Zencash, Zcoin. Very solid long term investments. All of them have very solid dev teams and roadmaps

PPT is a good coin which meet your conditions with low cap and suply :)

Long term you want more coins focused on solving a legitimate real world problem rather than a coin that is merely trying to piggyback on bitcoin and altcoin trend.

That's also what Vitalik said and I think there are right now too many coins that don't really do anything.

With that being said, if you look into privacy coins like pivx monero cloak, xvg, etc, those will be good in future.

Also coins that are protocol based like Ethereum and Neo will be good too. Stratis is way down right now probably it will recover soon

What you need to look at is at the circulating supply to total supply ratio and of course, the technology and devs (and how often they update things, if they are active etc).

If it's minable, you want it to have a coin release curve similar to bitcoin (in other words, the opposite of fiat currency). Look at this to understand it:

If it's not minable then you just need to look at the total supply since there is no issuing. But at the end of the day, the technology will dictate how much money wants to be put on your coin, but it's good to make it scarce to incentivize hodling.

This typically does not matter for long term hold coins.

The total amount of coins does not matter. As long as you understand that the individual coin value will have a lower value potential for a coin that has a high total supply. You'll just need to hold more of them, than you would a coin with a lower circulating supply, to achieve the same margins. (this of course directly relates to coin market cap)

Coins under 200m market cap certainly have a higher potential to gain increases above 100%. But that doesn't always make them a good investment. In fact, it also means they are more susceptible to experiencing extreme loss of value. Much more so than a higher market cap coin.

High market cap = less chance for extreme gain, but lower risk
Low market cap = more chance for extreme gain, but high risk

I would like to believe this is true -- but after spending some time amongst crypto communities, it seems this is not usually the case.
The crypto world doesn't typically seem to care if a coin was created by someone as a joke (Doge), or a team of geniuses that like to launch rockets in their spare time (NXS).

Good luck with your investments!

I think Qtum is a good investment. It's very cheap right now.  8)

Seriously, it's a joke ...

Zcoin is not a fork of Zcash .. It was created before, and it is a different cryptography .. and for me, better than Zcash ..

The fork of Zcash are the following: Zencash, Zclassic (shit), Hush (good)

As this one is on pre-ICO and you can mine with your browser, it could be a good time to be interested in !

Also, if you have a website, it can help generate profit from it,

Hi
I agree and recommand Sumocoin, terracoin, Verge.
I have some other to recommand but I will buy first then reveal here :)
Good luck with your investment :)

(and for sure some bitcoin, bitcoincash, etherum...)

For me it doesn't matter whether a coin is Mineable, Airdrop or ICO. The main thing is the solid developer behind it, how the team want to achieve their plan and also strong community around the project

I'm not an expert, but it seems like some are worried about future quantum computing. PoS coins shouldn't have that worry. Although it's debatable whether how urgent this concern is

Watch out for coins that focus on anonimity, this will ve very hot topic in upcoming years, you can see movement in govs arround the world cracking on crypto. Check DeepOnion coin, few kk c
Marketcap, you can mine or join airdrop big popularity about the coin and team that simply delivers. Also Zencash will be super hot too, community driven coin.

I disagree with this fact, I think the total amount of coins matters. People tend to not like to hold long term coins that have billions of total circulating coins. This is an interesting subject, it may be psychological or not, but I think it's a fact.

The coin release is obviously important because if the inflation is too strong, the price will face constant dumping.

exactly 0x project. they are finishing their projects and when they finished it, it will go 2x 3x.

Is it better a minable coin or  a  NON-minable coin?
Minable and PoS are the best.

Also   regarding the  coin supply , obviously it's  better  when it  is low, but  how much low ?
Low supply is the best,
no guarantee but the best one is the devs team. It is the key.
