Hello, folks! Do you ever pay attention how cool and large can be your profits if you invest not into the top-10 alts, but to the smaller, less known altcoins? Status, Peercoin and Stellar Lumens jumped so high! And Cardano showed everybody its real force!

Yes, its true. Small coins can give u bigger profits than big altcoins and in the short time. Personally I invest to small altcoins that have bright future.

You're right that they can offer much better returns but they are very hit and miss, only a small percentage of them will show good returns and many others will fail completely. With the more established bigger alts you know what you're getting and you can still make some really nice returns. I think the smaller alts are much better for those guys trying to turn a small amount in to a fortune and the bigger alts for those guys just looking to earn a little on the side.

Investing in coins with low marketcap and trading volume is actually quite risky because you might end up holding some shit coins for months and at last you will lost majority of your money. One out of 1000 coins might get such pump/success like you have said but its hardto find which one. So if you want to play risky than you can.

small coins are exciting news the future is brighter in the long run when its there turn to become the top ten alts!

Although new to the game I have tried Alt Coins to moderate success. I got in and out with Cardano making a nominal gain, but a gain none the less. The risks are high and doing some research is certainly beneficial. Nem is another I am keeping a close eye on.

Most of small coins, grows because to the action of pump groups. They can pump every shitcoin, in every moment. It is roulette, if you bet good number you can make 100% or more...

I see cardano today it's value seems bumped around 24 percent in the 24 hours really that is good change in the price. We are now completely can invest on crypto currencies. It will give the returns to when the value bumps. People who are all focusing on long time profit you can try to invest on cheap altcoins with the high potential.

For this purpose only I have invested most of my money into medium and low cap coins. Some of my pics are Opus(decentralized music platform), Blackmooncrypto(fund management platform), GUP(matchmaking platform) to name a few.

Yea you can make really nice amount of money from them but it's more suitable for experienced investors. Because most of the community only cares about well known coins and focus on them. There are really diamonds out there waiting to be discovred.

You're absolutely right! An example of some altcoins at the peak:
1. KNC - 6x
2. QSP - 4x
3. OMG - 20x
Confido 4 (scam) - 20x
Many more similar examples.

Everyone trades with top 10 altcoins and everyone is buying altcoin which has low volume usually when they are pumped. Lets take poloniex for example, almost every altcoin will be pumped sooner or later so it actually doesn't matter what you buy, what matters is how long do you hold.

I have the same opinion on this subject like you. I am really positively adjusted for any cheap coin whose have big potencial, if you have any propositions say me

If you manage to find a small altcoin with a huge potential, than please share it with us since there is a huge money to be made if you choose correctly.

investing in less known altcoins is too risky  we dont know its future. unless you invest only little money.

yeah i prefer to trade other coin thats is still in cheaper price than bitcoin or ETH . i will only trade top coin if i am in a short trade and have high amount balance to trade in so i can  earn profit easly daily. but i dont think its enough to earn 100% in a day so i choose not so popular coins and hoping the price will increase while i trade it shortly.

Definitely risky! There is a lot of reward there though if you can time it right, but equally there is a big chance of making huge losses. Once you get down to really small coins though, I'd say it's not worth it as these can be prone to manipulation.

yups, i watched them at the pump, and also take profit from Lumens and Peercoin trading but do not expect too much for this coin because this coin can lose value quickly after pump

The early bird gets the worm

Most alt coins with less than 10.000.000$ market cap and active in development will come up at some point when they get listed in other exchanges, i think something between 10 and 20 million marketcap is expected in a worst case scenario this days.

Btcz or sumo are projects i bealive will grow as they are very active in development, but the marketcap is super low still. Sumo already did x2 recently, but it´s just the beggining cause the supply is small, and the maretcap sugget 10$ is possible without much effort if it gets more volumen

Yes we realized that before but it's a big gamble. Small coins have no guarantee to get pumped. You could wait years and years and no pump or you can wait months and months and coin will die slowly. Do your own research, don't listen to anybody else. If you find a gem share it to your close friends only. It will get pumped eventually.

Earning in currencies with a small capitalization is possible. But the probability of loss is too high. Let's say the creators have 40% of the currency. If they put up for sale most of the coins, they will drop the course to zero. While a large capitalization implies that several whales already hold a large percentage of the currency. And if one decides to sell everything, then the rate will not drop much. And you will not lose all your money.

I've seen that long time profit can have bigger potential if you have to be patient about it and don't ever lose hope as you go after your profit. Not just cardano has bumped up, and we should also consider other promising alts whose unpredictably been changing anytime of its value. That would be a great opportunity for everybody that cypto currencies will be a realiable investments so far, and its been suggested that buying is good for now while its on its dumping state and price is at lower value.

opus ebtc playkey should be more porefull next year for sure

I wont argue regarding on this matter which is actually true which most people are do make focus on top alts or even on bitcoin itself and leaving all or neglecting the possibilities on making huge profits on smaller altcoins which did able to pump upto theses days and only few people did able to join the ride.This is the beauty when you do engage on these small alts because you wont really know the potential big profits you would able to get on this kind of movements but the hard thing on this is that you would really able have a hard time on which small alts you would tend to buy.

Investing in small coins can be both profitable and very risky. But, to anyone who wants to try this, do a very, VERY good research before you invest in small altcoin. There are some that will get you some profit, but also there are some that will be certain doom for all your investment.

which small alt have the brightest future

It does not always apply to my friend, and sometimes you can put most of your money in small subcoins. But do not forget that big coins are also less likely to sink in!

Do some research about XBY.  8)

PS: Check out my signature.

I'm afraid to invest in new and very cheap coins. I already lost a lot with this investment. Now I prefer to invest in coins that are in the TOP-10

The small value of a coin and small capitalization is dangerous because 2 cents can be 10% of the cost.
If in the market of sale there will be 5 000 dolars in the denomination of coins, the rate may drop by 80%. As a percentage of the capitalization is very much. This is a very big topic for discussion.
However, on new coins with the right choice you can very well earn.

A lot of new cheap altcoyins are cheating. Even on this forum, you can meet two fraudulent projects a day. I invest in time-tested altcoys, and my head does not hurt and my nerves are in order. If I invest money in cheap altcoyins, then you need to check the information about their creator a hundred times and about how much they will be in demand later.

Yes it is a good  choice to pick some not well lnown coins or not even in top 10 the chance of it is that they will rise up for a couple of months or years. Cardano really is a coin aiming to be at top and as trader I am looking forward for this coin but XEM is a good one too. I expect XEM will reach even up to $3 next year, holding of it for now is good for hodlers they will really make a big profit out of it.

Peercoin and Stella Lumen are not small coin if you go by definition of old altcoin"in respect of peercoin. It is not surprising though that they rise quickly. A small cap always have potential for big rise.

I absolutely agree with you, the good profits are in the small altcoins, because small altcoins are generally in perojects which haven't the necessary time for developing so when you invest in theme you can double your money for sure.

Yeah, usually the smaller alts the higher financial benefits and RISK. So if you are able to make a solid research you may find the golden one which will bring you a lot of money. But as we know it is very hard. I would ask you about diversification but you ahve mentionem that you lost 80% of your btc so maybe better not trying once again. My advice is that you should not buy "popular" hype" coins, just find your one which is developing then may it work?

Im putting some eggs in the Ark basket right now because of this. Still at 200 million market cap while many other coins are approaching 1 billion with much less fundamentals to back it up. Hopefully my strategy will pan out in 2018  ;D

Indeed if you invest on small altcoins that have a potential, you have a huge profit for example in waves i earned waves in th signature campaign when released i made $850 on it. Although  there are risks investing on small altcoins if the invested altcoin is failed the result is loss so, if yoh are trying to invest in alts i suggest that you choose very carefully.

This time! Many coin had price grown up! You buy more before this times will get profit!
I still hold atlcoin for next year!

this website list the top cryptos with possible return percentage.   https://roboadvisorcoin.com/crypto-predictions/

other small altcoins are included on the list

Check also the small coins that disappeared and the 100% investment lost for many investors.

Ada and lumens really played well while btc keeps on rising those who got in a week early really loves how the profits went, I remember ada's value when I try to make an entry its more or less 400sat thinking that 600 would be a nice exit but it went up to 4x, well profits still a profits.

Yes profits are bigger but also so is the risk. You don't run the risk of investing in ETH or LTC and have the devs run off with your money which is awesome but yeah their is downside of course to betting on smaller marketcaps. Try to get a judge of character and the community before investing into smaller coins because they can give better returns but they are also some sick bear traps out there. Stay safe friends!

Yes, you are correct sir. For me the lower the market cap, the more room to grow. How can you expect growth on let's say ETH, if already grew to 300USD right? There are so many undervalued coins in the market and people still keep on buying the top 10 lol. One caveat though, lower market cap coins are riskier as they need to establish a name yet before they can skyrocket in price.

One coin I can suggest for a lower ranking in market cap but has a really good potential is DeepOnion. It's currently ranked at 337, with a very small supply of less than 20 Million coins. It's priced as of this writing at around 1.6USD, and if you take into consideration of its niche which is a privacy coin, it can grow as much as a 100-200x like how XMR and DASH is priced right now. It's a really a steal at its current price. The y have a very solid community of developers, a large community in their forum and a regular set of updates on the project. They are even sending weekly newsletters to everyone to update the community on the progress of the coin. If you want to join, check out their ANN thread here in bitcointalk - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2006010.0. They are conducting an airdrop right now, and if you're lucky to qualify you can get some coins for free!

There is absolutely true. Small coins with a small market capitalization can increase rapidly in price. And to do x-10, 20. But they are more risky. ADC ESP, RNS I invested in summer slipped by more than 90 percent. from my purchase price. And there are people who on top take.

I think you can buy some cheap ico tokens on binance such as the LINK, Airswap, Enj, the price is much lower than the ico prices and they have raised a lot during the ico price, that means the big whales will pump the price soon. Do not miss it.

I think it is too risky to put money in lowcost alts. You can get nice profits on BTC and ETH, and also on BCC as we saw earlier.

But I agree that there are some coins like ENJ or REQ or BMC, who have low volumes now but soon they will hit the market

This happens more frequently than you'd think.  Many times, you can take a gamble and buy some cheap altcoins that are only listed on the small exchanges and if they end up getting listed on Bittrex or some other large exchange, the price would skyrocket instantly without any developmental updates. 

Buying a coin at a low price is an option, when a person is already convinced by buying a coin at a low price it will definitely be very comfortable with his choice.
and buyers will definitely keep the coins until they get a great price.

i love lumens, ada, GVT, zcoin, Dash will cross 1000$ by jan for sure.

Yeah thats true you can get alot of profit by investing into small coins rather than investing in top 10 altcoins, but there is also a huge chance that the small altcoin you are investing in would miserably fail. I think you can be successful if you do alot of research on the specific altcoin you want to invest in and then you might get alot of profit from those. But if someone carelessly invests in small altcoins he would most probably lose his money.

Small Altcoin that has stood out imo is Stellar, it has great potential and its quite similar to Ripple. Having said that, Ripple too has potential to reach $1 or $2 by next year. Both these altcoins can give you large profits.

A good option for long-term investment are ADX, IOTA, WINGS, NEM, EDG for my opinion.

I recommend Dash and Stellar all the way, both good coins for profits.

Actually I don't understand why people went insane on BTC and want to make huge profit there, when we have small altcoins that have much bigger profit in percentage. You can quickly double or triple your investment in small altcoins, so why bother with BTC.

Yes small coins gives bigger profit at the same bigger loss . If you dare to take risk and go ahead with small capital or lesser known coins but keep eye on the coin regularly all of sudden one day pumping group start to pump so that you can take profit.

small altcoin not often give you profits, they have high risk of returning to zero if you have entered this market early and experienced much things, also, dump and pump is not the best way to make profits if you plan to do so

Smaller coins have potential for growth,compare to higher coins. a coin at $1 can rise to $50 that is a huge profit,compare to a coin at $200 that double.

I was wondering which among the small altcoins are you holding? Which gave you the biggest profit? I never planned indulging myseld into smaller altcoins but upon reading this I got interested.

Yes, in general, small altcoins have more potential to grow due to their low mcap with good product and news announcement, but also will need to be careful as they are very volatile

yes you are right the cheap coin in the market can give you the big profit if their values is rising up, like stellar lumens it growing up in 1 night, but you need to know that cheap coin can make bigger loss too, such as doge the 2 satoshi in doge price is have a big value if you invest it on doge

small altcoins will also pump some days like bitcoin before! it is better to hold altcoins this days because we don't know when it will be pump.

Small cap projects could have much higher ROI as well as risk of investments. I like to invest in <10M cap coins which are not so well known yet too ;)

I'm not talking about all small coins, I mean small coins with a good project behind them. I made a good profit on such coins as PayPie, Viberate, RPX, LEND, and so on. Those by the way are not pump and dump tokens. Some of the small tokens dropped in price because of this madness with BTC, but it will end soon I hope.

I agree that alternative coins allow you to make a greater profit due to less capitalization. But this coin has a downside - the lower the capitalization, the more opportunities for manipulating the market and the greater volatility of the coin. Thus, there is a probability of making x2-x10 both in plus and minus. But in the long run, almost all of the Crypto currency is growing. The question is that it is easier for you to be an investor or a trader on the crypto exchange.

Yes, I always try to find small altcoins or tokens of ICOs to invest. Because as you know, the price of top 10 is usually expensive and small coins often have a big growth. I am considering invest in Siacoin, Paypie, Genesis Vision.

Small altcoins can bring you a profit, even X100. But you need to understand your risks. You can choose 5 small altcoins. It will grow after ICO, and then sharply go down. They may not rise from the ground and you will lose money. But just one of these coins will grow to the moon, make x100 and you will return all the losses and get a huge income. This is the market, who does not try, so does not win.

really small coins = big profits, but we do not know the right time to buy and sell, that's always the problem. surprises always come at an unexpected and very short time.

It's a bet, it can go very well or you can lose a lot, I would not do it with large amounts, but within a balanced strategy can work.

What do you mean small? Small number of supply or low price coin. XRP is small coin I mean low price coin but not profitable. If you mean small coin with low volatility in the market, can be profitable and not. If the coin has good development , the coin  may be bigger someday. Minexcoin is small coin you can invest there.

Yes. Thats why for my long term portfolio i invest in small not know coins. I know there are a lot of good smaller coins out there. The only downside is that most of these coins are not on top exchanges, so i find myself opening accounts in a lot of exchanges just to buy small coins. But all the same since i buy and hold for at least 6 months, is not a bit problem at all.

I'm thinking about investment in two small altcoins. In particular XRP and XEM. Are there any other here that think these have a lot of potential to grow?

you have chosen good coins. I also think that these coins can give you a good profit. I have in my portfolio also these coins and I think that I made the right choice

choosing between XEM and XRP, I would choose XEM. I think that this coin is very underestimated. More and more startups use NEM as a platform. One of the last ICOs in which I invested my XEM is COMSA.

Yes choosing the smallest coins will give you the larger profit when their prices increase. But you need to choose carefullt the coins which have the best potential to success and be in demand , and thats for sure not an easy mission, since there are a lot of shitcoins.

I didn't care much about Alt coins in the past, but now I am seeing a lot different that we can make some profits. I got POS tokens of 15 and they were valued in the past $0.5 around but today I see $2 above. If I could had more than 2000 POS tokens then It would be great deal for me.

you have to be very careful what altcoin you are investing man some are just pumped by a group and then later it just comes down. You can be on poloniex account and you have like 80$ then the next thing you know you see something like 50$ left. Its like someone rub your pockets man. All am saying is trade carefully. Know the coin your investing on and dont just gamble your money

it all depends on your luck and your research.
not infrequently a small coin can also get huge losses.

While it is true that those altcoins can provide huge gains, it is also really risky and you shouldnt make a gamble out of it

I don't see XRP or XEM as small altcoins. XRP with 9.770 B$ marketcap and XEM with 2.092 B$ marketcap, i don't think you'll see an increase of 10x -20x in the near future, even if i need to choose between these 2 I will probably invest in XEM.

That's how i trade, most of my portfolios are shifted more towards smaller marketcap coins with HUGE potential, those coins you mentioned had ready do succeed in getting their investor paid off in short amount of time and that's the beauty of getting the right startup, ICOstats.com has a pretty good view on how ERC20 coins profit their early investors, big chips are mostly safe and less volatile, but they suffer more movement by the prime BTC generally during dumps, still, pretty solid to get them onboard top 20 when the time is right, getting into early or low entries is still crucial to maximize profits as they seriously grow x3 in days.

Whether small altcoins make a big change to the user network or not doesn't matter. It is purely the market, if the growth happens in a very small time period small altcoins too provide with a much bigger profit making the thread statement come true.

The problem is that out of 100's of coin not all coin can rise so much. most of them will fall flat. And if you invest in such coins then you will loose big money. So identifying is a big task as many coins are part of the pump and dump as well so you need to pick the right coin to get that leverage.

in my opinion, verge has a great future, let's hope that 2018 is great for this

It all depend to how much you have grabbed. If you have got into Cardano during the time when its price was still at 2 cents and you have bought about 50K ADA, then its definitely a huge profit. Cardano hasn't gone down too. It comes up very surprising if you have joined right now at $0.09 then you still gotta wait for the next big news.

Same thing with XRP and stellar. They are on top just like how cardano is when its listed therefore huge investors are backing it.

According to the law of big chiyal attempts to guess what is not a scaffold in the list of altcoyins can lead to the fact that you will remain at 0.

Yes, this is a good idea. Investing in small altcoins is always a right way. This is due to the fact that, when you buy small coin a big amount, you will get much profit if it rises a bit

There is a very little amount of potential with those coins because they can drop to no value at all if someone discovered a pre mine.

You need serious research,do a perfect technical analysis to get what you want theres a lot of shitcoins that are profitable in the market.

small coins can make a lot of profit if you find the correct one under good research . . . promising projects is the project that can survive in time. . .

Status and Stellar are not small coins, they are in the top 100 for a long time, Cardano is from the start.

Small altcoins definately have room to grow, especially the cent coins. If you check historical data of most successful altcoins they started of as cent coins then over time grew to what they are today. Personnaly eyeing cardano, request and  ripio also upfiring looks good.

Lower market cap coins are kind of a 'higher risk higher reward' type of investment. Its definitely not for everyone, especially if you have a tendency of being more risk averse. People who are very impatient and anxious should probably stay away from this type of investment also.

You can make a large profit with the small altcoins only if you have researched deeply and investigated thoroughly through the plans of the campaign and the implementing of the particular software or the business model your desired altcoin will provide. Every investing is a risk but only with the smart trades and smart thinking profit can be gained. The current market cap for all altcoins is disappointing right now cause the rise of the Bitcoin but that will change and investment into smaller altcoin can give you profit in a couple of years not right now. Investment into that coins must don't drain out your pocket but if you have bad investment moves it can quickly empty your pockets if you greed only for profit without researching on your own. It is good to make a research on your own cause you can find many bad pieces of advice everywhere and many of the small altcoins are disappearing in the end if investors base drain up and people lose faith in the projects.

I'm altcoins holder.

Many times I saw how my portfolio was drained by Bitcoin but every time after that altcoins restored their positions.
I still believe that Bitcoin can't be only one cryptocurrency in the world, for many reasons. I don't like Bitcoin centralization speed and fees. That's why I choose altcoins and will hold them for next years. And I still believe it's a good strategy.

Also EMC2 used to be a small coin and look now - one of the biggest gainers and very high volume.

Because mostly of the investors focusing in the market volume but they never realized some low volume coins which have gaining potential. In fact, low volume coins is very cheap and we have chances to get more and earned if price will rise. But the problem smaller coins doesn't provide us a good market and it is usually affected if their is hardfork lauch.

 I feel you :D My hearts bleed to see my folio is in red when bitcoin is bullish. Almost all of my coins and tokens are losing almost 50%. Its painful to see them bleeding too but I was relieved when bitcoin corrected that my alts recovered. Yes, its a traders life and it happens to everyone too. Now I am adjusted already.

there many altcoins in the market right now with low price and low volume but they just need time to grow, its about holding, if you hold for the long term that pretty clear you will some profit

Yeah in a point of view you are right. But most of them who bring large amounts in a short time are being pumped. In addition besides its huge profits if you are in coins dump season you will bear huge loss.

maybe stellar, ripple, digibyte, sia, xwc, hemp coin is the cheap coins and have potential to increase. for hemp coin, the price increases significantly and now the volume increases too. it means, there are many investors wants to hold this coin and they want to make the price up. but for the cheap coin that I listed, only ripple and cardano which in the top ten altcoins so you can choose between this coin to buy or you can buy both ripple and cardano.

I was just trying to make sure you telling the truth.
This`s indeed a fact.
As is the case with
1. Ethereum,
2. Bitcoin Cash,
3. Ripple,
4. Dash, and
5. Bitcoin Gold.

I want to start trading small altcoins. Few people suggest me to trade on Bittrex. What do you think? Any other options?

Agree with your opinion, small altcoins can give very high profits in long term because many people can buy due to their lower price. Ethereum, Dash, Ethereum Classic and Monero were small coins in 2016 and now they are the best coins of 2017.

I agree smaller coins can make more profits. At the time bitcoin split in BTC/BCH I had just bought my first btc, I just missed out on a low point of entry but it was still low enough and the upcomming hardfork providing me with the same amount in bch made me decide to buy.
By the time BTC had doubled in price I took out all of my investment and the profits because I was new, and thus scared, to the cryptomarket, something i still regret but that's how lessons are learned!
I left my BCH in my wallet because it was only about 300 Euro's, when it first jumped up to 1500 I parked my bch in a few safer altcoins so I could by back in when prices dropped again.
At the moment, after 2 months, I doubled my amount of BCH and spread it out to some prommising coins.
I chose to invest all in 6 different coins, first it was 7 but i moved the funds from the least to the most promissing one.
All of those coins are below the 10 euro range some even as low as 0.005eurocents.

As stated by some other people, coins can rise very high or drop very low!
Do your research and spread the risk.
Don't invest ANY money you can't afford to lose!

I am Crowdfunding a foodforest, those who want to can find more information on my profile or via pm

I can say in other way: small and unknown cryptocurrencies - high risk. If you are ready to risk, then it is just for you!

This is actually a very good strategy, provided you took a sincere due diligence as to the prospective growth of the project. Sometimes, it is not wise to invest a moderate amount in the top 10 altcoins because their value will not double overnight. To the smaller ones, however, a double growth rate may easily be achieved. Status, Peercoin, and Stellar are just a few of them. Cardano is already a top one.

Keep it simple. 

There are so many stocks one can invest in.  The same is going on for cryptos and icos.  You should simply follow the money.  Where the money is going go into it. 

😊

When you have believes invest on some altcoins only, then you should follow.
There are still more altcoins that price increasing already even slow.
But investing on many altcoins will not good, so investing in like 10 altcoins / tokens, thats would be focusing to make profit.

Investing in small altcoins is really risky, i have to say. But as a legend said "If you risk nothing then you risk everything", so keep trying and someday you will get paid :D

I have the same opinion on this subject. am really positively adjusted for any cheap coin whose have big potencial, if you have any propositions, you can share.

Interesting idea. Of course, small can rise better than already high. However, there are always risks of smaller market caps that should be taken into account, so be attentive to other aspects as well.

I personally think it dangerous and very risky. Some altcoins are in the dying process. If you jump in on them, you might be affected.
It's always good to know how good and feasible the project is, and the strength of the team behind it.

yet this is try and tested strategy but make sure you did your own research in order for you to know what are the  profitable coins and not i do this strategy that buy small altcoin to gain more profit because the small one has a lot of chance to have a bigger profit so in this way you can maximize your profits

yes in this world of crypto currency it is better to risk because if you dont take risk it is the same as losing everything in terms of getting the profit this idea or strategy is used by others so do i but in order to get those huge profit i must do a simple research or a recommendation on my friends so i can sure that token and the small token has a bigger amount of chance to get at top 10 sometimes just wait for those time

Risk is like a lottery, you never know what you'll get in the end. Of course if you make a deep analysis of a coin and you pretty sure that it'll have success in future then it can be reasonable to invest, but anyway I'd prefer a safe investment in top 10 coins, especially for a long term.

Lots of people saw iota as a small altcoin, the place it jumped is obvious now. Never see somethin as small, always try to benefit from it. Small things in blockchain turns into the giants.

Investing in altcoins  which has low volume has right to be but it's a little bit more nervous process than investing in TOP-20 alts. The only reason in such investing is to catch up that altcoins pumping. If you'll manage to do it you'll be "in a chocolate" like Russians used to say.

It is the best to enter and invest on a storng ICO (alts) with small value .. it can easily double to 10x your money with their tokens on the market ..
thats what i believe since then .. remember bitcoin and ethereum didnnt start withh huge price on the market but look at them noww and look on those holders that had them since the beginning.

yes, it’s better than bitcoin and big altcoins.

problem with small altcoins is most of them Scam/died.

but if you lucky will earn more than saving bitcoin and ETH

Of course, if you find that one coin that you go x100 or even x1000. I think Stellar Lumens is one if I'm not mistaken because of the IBM involvement. I still remember that a lot of members have regrets not joining the boat earlier. LOL.

I don't know about Cardano though, but I heard that it is the new NEO, so I guess their a lot of hype around this coin. But some says, its the usual pump-and-dump, so everyone is riding and will exit soon. But lets see how it goes, maybe you will get lucky on one of those cheap coins.

ADA is a good altcoin, now investing about these ... verge, Maybe I'm disappointed, I invested 0.0188BTC in that

I am doing some research and find a coin named OXY coin on this forum, I know they have a very powerful DPOS mechanism, that means more than 11% of the total supply are locked between the 201 delegates (big holders!), also, it has been supported by many Lisk elite members.

Tell me more. I see that only it is traded in "Livecoin"

I am aware on that, because the profit here in crypto currency in based on the risk, higher risk will gives you much higher profit and when you are invested in those coin which is not less know the risk is very high and when you get luck which the value rising you will gain huge profit on that.
But me i do not want to do that, much better for me is to be safe even the profit are small still my capital are safe and continuous growing every time i ger profit.

As you said the problem with most of the cheap altcoins is it will lose it value by the time so its called died so we need to research about that cheap altcoin before investing but the success rate is very less so you are taking huge risk.
In my view it is better to invest on the good altcoins then cheap altcoins,the profight might be less but the losing percentage of our investment is also less.

It's all a gamble, I am 99% down on my cardano investment, although I only bought a few so am just gonna hold those long term. I don't usually buy coins with a high supply, I usually like to go with coins that have a low market cap and less than 200 million coins or tokens, but then again you have seen coins with huge supply like RIPPLE go through the roof, and smaller coin supply coins or tokens die in the dumps. I's a gamble in crypto, but a calculated one I guess.

XVG went on a nice run already. Now it's time to wait for the price to drop and (re)enter!

Looking at my bag of altcoins, I discovered that those coins far below the top 10 and bought for pennies eventually rise to make me more money than those at the top 10.
Henceforth have made up my mind to look for under the radar gems and invest in them while they are yet to get the attention.

Some airdrops have even performed far better than top 10 coins. Examples are blue and eltcoin

Alts below top 10 better for high profit investment, I guess. If you wish turn a small amount of money to big profit, you can choose smaller alts - they has more potential to grow.

1.Ethereum

Ethereum had 40* growth rate over last 2 years.It is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts:application that runs exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime,censorship,fraud or any third party interface.Ethereum have incresed a lot in recent mont and i am sure that its value will keep increasing.I think the only cryptocurrency that has the ability to overtake Bitcoin is Etherum in my view so it is worh to invest on Etherum.

2.STEEM

As we all know how to get STEEM.Its market cap and price is incresing day by day so it is worth investing on STEEM.It is the best time to hold the STEEM to gain profit.I hope STEEM with touch 10$ in jan 2018 or even more.

Recently I regretted by selling dent the value more than 10x or 1000% increased its really insane and one more coin xuc. Hope centra and paypie will reach sky next couple of day even coss token and csno are good for long term holding.

I agree. But still there is a 50/50 chance that you'll get a successful altcoin because as we can see, there are also a lot of small altcoins that is still small even three-four months later. The advantage in investing in cheap altcoins is that even if you fail, you'll lose only a small amount of your investment.

Cardano are good altcoin with a high volume in the market so I guess this can puml up more and give you a good profit.  Most altcoin below top 100 on coinmarketcap are shitcoin but if you find a shitcoin that pump up so huge this will give you a 100x to 1000x profit take note investing in some small altcoin are risky dont invest if you dont want to take this risk.

Small altcoins that just came out of ICO to exchanges can make you big money. When it is first listed, bounty token holders and other investors sell off for cheap price, but if you can get hold of the whitepaper and wait for the roadmap to be implemented, then the tokens you buy cheap when it is dump can be resold for a huge profit in a later date.

Yes! Sometimes they realy show great increase.

Yes i am also a fan of little coins, and I have already made a few hit with them. But of course it can also be risky because small coins can die easier.

Small Crypto are Risker but bring better profit than top ten crpto, but if I have millions to invest I will go for the top tens

If there is no volume/exchanges to support it, there are no "profits". Even if it looks like you scored a home run.

To get a significant profit from small little-known altoins, you need detailed knowledge of the project, due to the implementation of which they were released and have good practical skills of the trader. Therefore, beginners in this type of business is better not to pop, otherwise losses will be inevitable.

Risk is even there in bitcoin investment.  Without taking risk we can not get profit. I think those people who do not have any study and knowledge about altcoin then he should try to hold bitcoin for a long time, because bitcoin has a great future and its price is expected to continue increasing for a long time.

I have Invested most of my money and low cap coins, But it's more suitable for experinced investors,the most of the community only cares about well know coins and focus on them and there are diamonds out there waiting to be discoverd.

Yes, you need to study in detail the coin, the project and who is behind it...but there are very good young altcoins with which you can get rich in the future

few years ago i made huge profits while trading 1 satoshi coins but its not possible for now.
I was buying at 1 satoshi and selling for 2 this was the easiest money i ever earn.
But there is still more coins to trade and win big with small coins. checkout yobit they have lots of them.

Personally I think you should divide your investment into smaller parts to avoid putting all eggs in one baskets. Some portions should go for some in the top ten alts and some other parts for less known altcoins.

I think we can try to make a profit from 1 satoshi coin but I guess we need to research deeply because if we see in the yobit, there are too many coins that we should choose. and it is not guaranteed that the coin can increase in short of time. I have a coin that is 1 satoshi for a long time ago and until now the price is still at that price so I cannot sell it right now. I don't know when the coin can increase and I can only wait for another time.

I agree, if you want to multiply the profits 10 times and more its better to invest in small alts, they are able to multiply in a really short time. although you need to understand that not every altcoin can become profitable, there are so many of lesser ones that for every 1 which blows up 10 just dissappear. Depends if you want to risk it or not.

It is profitable indeed if the coin you buy have a good team behind it. You shouldn't do a random buy of altcoin thinking it will rise  soon. Just be ready for loses because sometimes it turns the other way around.

It seems to me ,that in this case it is not necessary to invest in the long term. You need to regularly fix profits and then the risks will be minimal, even if this altcoin eventually disappears.

 I agree with you that unknown alts has potencial to make money..but also you can loose huge money...maybe all yours!!!!
 Better to divide your portfolio... divide your risk... earning less is better than to loose all your investment!!!

Yes, I agree with you, Status, Stellar and Cardano are just small coins which can help you get big profit when investing in them. Besides, I also add more some coins, those are H2O, ReddCoin, and Siacoin.

I have a friend who invests only in such coins, he always buys only altcoins which are very cheap and then when the news comes out he sells them. Everyone has his own plan - someone likes the top 10 and somebody tries to catch x10 on cheap altcoins

Yes small altcoin can give more profit because they are growing there demand because bitcoin  grown very high that why other community see the altcoin as alternative to replace bitcoin demand

Yes you are right NEM with great potential as well as ADA! As for the topic, I believe the right judgment of the author that on the tiny and unknown coins you can make a great profit we just need to understand the market and the time to get out of it with profit to buy the top coins and move on in search of new promising coins!

Sometimes it could be a good decision some other times, it could be the worst decision. I can relate with either of the two scenarios where I just bought a not popular coin and the next day it just increase so high that I was even surprised. The other not so funny experience I just went all in and everybody in the market just decide not to buy this particular coin and gradually exchange sites start delisting the coins while no one is interested in buying. More detail is needed before taking any investment decision.

Small capped altcoins have small trade volumes and there is a huge risk of getting dumped by bag holders. Imagine, one bag holder can dump his tokens to get into bitcoin or ether, this causes a huge loss for you.

Hey! i have some investments in top coins for long term investment - but the main emphasis i make exactly at low known altcoins as Lumens, Burst, Sia, Bat, Edg and some more. Im waiting from them  at least 300-500% profit next year.

Yes I do that all the time. Perhaps 5% investment each in 4 in well functioning tokens, with complete product and customers. Not "ideas" by companies with average age below 25.

I see my microcoins generally as a lower risk than buying like IOTA...

I recommended this token when market cap was 1.5 mill, 1 week later at 3 mill on now two weeks later when it's 8 mill. I think mc will go to 50 mill in Q1.

Another good tip is Obsidian, 13 mill market cap privacy platform. App release in 8 days, very active community and nice devs.

Little-known altcoins often pamper, so they can make a good profit, but there is also the opportunity to forever remain an investor and lose everything that has invested in them. Therefore, if you invest in them, you need to look for perspective and which are being developed

You can talk on this topic for a very long time. The meaning of this is not small. I agree with most of the opinions in this topic that it is not safe, but it is not worth putting a cross on it. I will be brief and give just one piece of advice, start any project with the bounty company. Why? You will have enough time to make the only correct investment decision. My next project is SwissBorg (coin CHSB) to participate in the bounty program. The program has just started and the most interesting is yet to come.
The project deserves attention !!!

Low cap low price altcoin could be bring outstanding profit and at the same time be devalued to oblivion! When it comes to small cap coin, it is a 50/50 Chance! What I usually do is to cut more exposure to such coin!

Small and some new altcoins give us more profit I am sure, also big profit and in very short time, I am waiting from Komodo and Ark very big increasing in 2018.

My List Of small altcoins I'm holding for 2018

Under 10 USD:

PIVX
VTC
NAV

Under 1 USD:

DGB
XVG

Small altcoins – large profits but It has a more risks

The less market cap the riskier but also the higher returns for longer holdings. You have to dollar weight your investment or in this case bitcoin weight it.buying 100,000 coins of a high risk alt can be the same as buying 100 coins of a respectable blockchain so check how much fiat are you pouring in to see if it's worth the hold. Less than 1 million market cap coins can increase to 20 or 15 million easily. 50 million market cap coins can reach 100 million too so all requires a strategy, a plan an a defined cycle to determine when is the best time to inset in alts. Right now I would be accumulating low cap alts hedging against a drop in fiat value of the markets so when alts correct their bitcoin value they don't loose fiat value either like most coins will in the scenario bitcoin starts bleeding.

True. If you want to earn short time, then go for small altcoins but you should be quick. A lot of altcoins are only hot for a couple of days or three, after the dumping is done, some coins die. So if you really wanted to earn big time, invest in promising coin (preferably those that already are top in the market) and hold for long time.

Altcoins I believe can offered us a lot more. Im not saying that it will do overtake the BTC's place but I think it will be more valuable soon. When it comes to investment, I think its just safe to say that you might want to invest the amount that you can afford to lose. Most of people here says that. Coz the alt coin market is not stable as you can see. In a blink of an eye, price changes happens and you wouldnt like to missed it. It will be helpful to you if you participate on trading. Learning new things and opening an opportunity to earn more bucks. Goodluck anyways!

Small altcoins definetly gives very large profit. For a large profit  altcoins are best but your selection of coins very important. Always check marketcap and platform of coins before investing in any actions. There are some good ALT coins perform good like XRP, WAVES, STRATIS.

PTOY is a good one it's mooning right now.

I'm actually keeping an eye now to ethereum, I think it would increase more and more these upcoming years and it would be good to hold one or two ethereum before its price continues to go high and high like bitcoin.

Cardano I know, but not believe in it...I believe in the e-Chat ICO (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2255337.0). HuffPost called it one of the 5 most security messengers, BitcoinGarden wrote about their YouTube competition ($27 000 prize fund)

Ethereum has a lot of potential. I am planing to keep mine. I believe that Cardano has a great future as well. I bought some lately and will hold on to them as well.

To a very large extent, the assumption of small atcoin could lead to arge profit may be true! But in my experience, Buying ICO is even better profit. ALGORY.IO come highly recomnended in these regards!

I think it is totally different with our opinion because if someone start trading with a small amount of altcoin and he can make a large profits , it’s a fully depend on his luck it is a fully luck we can called because if someone invest large amount and they can lose and who invest small they can make a profit or lose because if altcoin market growing on this time, small coin is must profit. 

but whether the coins will be stable in the future, that we must pay attention to

Ues. There is a chance. Only chance. I bought some xrp on 7thof this month for 15.41 inr. Now one xrp is 51.46 inr. So sometimes itwill happen. We can not predict. One thing for sure, we should invest in various crypto s instead of one

if we find and hold a good alt-coin surely we will get a big advantage especially if we get it from bounty that do not need big capital

yup ELECTRONEUM and also RIPLE  is amazing but . this is the process as long as the bitcoin price constantly pumping and pumping the altcoins and other crypto will also follow. remember the price of ETH before ? it was aroud 400 USD per ETHEREUM and now it jumps to 700k usd and still pumping like bitcoin.. all altcoin are good to invest but choose for those rising star again like LITECOIN and also DODGECOIN. amazing how cryptocurrency works.. just wow

Arena token - a vr amusement park that will use blockchain technology.
Utrust - An innovative way and will be the next paypal for cryptocurrency.
Esports - An ICO that is backed up by many esports community like dota2 , csgo etc. etc.
That is the ICO that caugh my eye these past couple of month.

Why not try with OmiseGo for part investment. This crytocurrency has a strong management back up, the people behind is ETH co founders.Current price is $16.89.

I have just as much faith in most my altcoins as I do bitcoin. I don't think it's hardly anymore risk than putting it all in bitcoin.

yep, thats right. There is now a lot of small altcoins with big future now. I am preparing to invest in some like ripple.

What do you mean using the word Small altcoin? Its price or its capitalization?
If you mean the first one so you can invest in coins from top-15 such as NEM, if you mean the second one i.e coins with low cap you could on your own risk to play with them buying low and selling high with help of crypto worlds news but don't use big money (for you personally).

Risk is always there in every kind of investment. No one know in advance that what will be the future of a crypto currency, but still if a person want to investment money in bitcoin, he need to study the market first and after getting sufficient knowledge about the selected altcoin he should invest money there.

A lot of altcoin are there who have good potential and their price can really increase too much but we need to identify them first and after that should invest our money there.

Yes, I have a similar point of view. I rarely invest in the top 10 tokens. I will choose between 70-150 tokens and when they start to rise, they will bring us huge benefits.

I have some different opinion about investment in Altcoin. Small Altcoin will take a long time to be successful and the profit ration is also very low.

I feel that if you have not too much investment you should still but some satoshi and wait for some time and I guarantee that after some time your investment will be double, because the market is of bitcoin and the price is growing with rocket speed and in a short period of time you will be rich.

If you want good returns you need to risk with lesser know alts and you can have huge retuns if the project is successful.

Small coins can not always bring a big profit. But in life almost every coin has at least one pump. It's really strange but you can use this thing to earn if you have a good money management strategy.

Large profit on small coins is a good idea and I think you had your luck too getting profit from all the small coins you've invested. There are altcoins which would give double or triple times profit, but some altcoins may give you loss as well.

Investing in small altcoins need some research before investing and sometimes we need to wait patiently for months to achieve the desired profits to come. However, for small investors, small coins is a good chance or trading. Again, there should be some research needed before investing.

Yes, this is certainly a very good idea. But it is not known which coin can bring such a profit. Investing in each of them is not profitable.
Most of them are not needed by anyone. Buy only for luck. This is the problem.

I have invested 500 dollars into ISO coins, which in a couple of months gave x10. Of course, you need to enter ISO, but after having analyzed it.

Try to invest DeepOnion coin it is an anonymous cryptocurrency integrated with TOR network. This coin has a lot of potenial. It has unique features called DeepVault and DeepSend. Since I joined this community it only hit $1 and now it hits $3. Check it out at deeponion.org

Altkoins with a small capitalization (price) are really very easy to shake. The only question is: exactly which altcoyin out of a thousand will rock? And it is because of this that many simply observe such price jumps from the side.

Yes I totally agree, as long as the project is legit with a great potential I believe you'd be able to gain way more than top 10 which got already a massive market cap.

IMO you should add at least 10 smallcoins in your portfolio.
Imagine if you invest 50$ for 10 small coins. And one of it make a 100x in future. Then your overall profit will be at least 10x, even if 9 others coins didn't live up their potential. 

in my opinion, it is necessary to develop the portfolio on 15 - 20 coins.
10 coins from a top of 10 coinmarketcap of 70% of a deposit
5-10 risk coins which x10 20% of a deposit can grow
perspective ICO of 10% of a deposit
