I start to read more and more FUD about ETH's solidity language, and of course on the Gas dilemma which some platforms handle better than eth (i.e. EOS). dont get me wrong, I'm most in ETH and still bullish on it for 2018, but with recent rises of NEO and the launch of EOS in June there might be some strong competitors to ETH. I know there is a lot to come for ETH with plasma etc, but will it be enough?
lately I started to recognize ARK and NEBLIO more and more, don't know much about them just that they support way more languages (Python,java,javascript,Ruby,node,C# i.e.) aren't these more user-friendly for developers to build something on these Platforms? I'm not a developer myself, so maybe I'm talking full bullshit here, but these questions came to my mind when I did some research on these projects.

Coming to my question here, what do you think will be the #1?
would be nice to hear someone who actually did some developing on any of these platforms or has more indepth knowledge than a newb like me.

even being the #1 can mean only like 50% profit in 2018, or even more decline as in eth right now.so thats kinda the wrong question. see ripple made x1000 or even more depending on when you bought/sold, in 2017. bitcoin only made x10, eth only made x100. now all of these are very high with a too big marketcap and can only lose.

ETH is the dumbest choice you can put your money in, i am pretty sure all the others you mention will give you a better return. also how much can it cost to invest in great blockchain devs to bring same technology as eth? maybe $5 million? $20 million? how is that worth $100 billion? its ridiculous.

but for really skyrocketting returns you need much smaller ones like spacechain which also supports a ton of languages. nobody can know yet how big of a success spacechain is going to be, but if you split your money over a couple of similiar or even cheaper projects, just one will make you more profit than keeping most in eth.

i would be very interested to hear more about very low market cap projects similiar to eth, neo... :)

I bought some lamden, but really a small amout, not really comfortable with the dev situation there

ARK seems pretty solid from what I've read so far

Neblio is really low market cap, and seems to support many languages, but there must be a reason why its still so low in price with that total supply

my hopes are in EOS, though there are 1B coins out there and its already under top10 on CMC, I think its dan larimer who lets me still feel comfy when buying eos.

But as you already mentioned above, I'm also interested in other small market cap projects, not quite sure if I should put my ETH in something smaller with more potential gains, maybe even NEO.. This could skyrocket even more as well i guess

Yeah I did buy neblio really cheap and it skyrocketted to like $50 at one point tho now its only at $13 so kinda cheap to buy in that regard. But i cant really tell you if its still worth it as I havent looked into it for a while.

I do like NEO and it surely will do much better than ETH in 2018 but its again the same issue. When you buy NEO now, there is just so many people, smart investors, dumb capital, whales, who got neo much much cheaper than you. So if NEo should ever go x10 now for you, they already have x100 or even x1000. So your chances of making a great profit are pretty low as you are so late.

But if you really like them go buy a few, even if its a bit expensive..... then you can also watch it better and see better where its going.. and if u should buy more or not.

As for really small ones...

Metaverse is by ex-Neo guys and still pretty cheap at just $70m market cap right now. Its been pretty low for a while and that often is the ones that explode to the moon. I like these much more over those that already had x20 gains etc. Even if of course not all of them can skyrocket. But for metaverse it takes one big news, one great new team member, and that can already bring you x10 or x20, while for eth....... that wouldnt even bring 10%.

Ethereum and NEO I like both of these very much. There is russia behind Ethereum, There is China behind NEO. Projects started to use Neo infrastructure also started.

indeed both of these coins have good potential and a bright future. but in my opinion among all the speculation above I will choose eth because this coin is very stable. but it never hurts you to buy some small coins that have good potential. this will also benefit you.

Of course that would be the # 1 is ethereum. Because ethereum already existed long ago and the price was already quite high. Ethereum also already has its own exchange platform, so the best course is ethereum. The stability of price and speed of transactions from ethereum is relatively stable. So the transaction and trading process does not harm investors. thank you

Yes probably ethereum is the best and would be number one. When we look into charts of ethereum price from previous years until now, the growth is huge. This means the demand on ethereum is being greater than the previous years. Because its usage and advantages has been adopts to the users.

I think Ethereum will stay #1 among all these coins for this year. Once EOS, NEO, ADA,
or any other proves its superiority, then maybe chance for some other coin to take its place.

I think ETH will be the top smart contract platform at least in the medium-term, with NEO a strong second.
I know that EOS looks promising, but I don't like the style of the ICO.

Ardor is the only one that has a working product.

Neo is centralized bullshit and Eth can't even handle a kitties game...

Ethereum will keep defending the first spot followed by eos or neo. Steem is going to grow even bigger.
Not sure about others all of them are mostly speculative projects. Ark might be 4rd I suppose..

Largest holdings in NEBL and NEO right now. POS rewards (10%+ tx fees) and GAS dividends(~5% ROI yearly) is only icing on the cake for me.
ETH should have a strong year but it already multiplied in value by hundreds, future returns dont seem as promising.
EOS can revolutionize things but they re far off from having a product yet, supply is huge for it and along with Cardano have way much to prove before making sense of last 2 months valuations (15$ for EOS, 1$ for ADA).
Lisk and QTUM are also platforms that I would look into before considering the rest of your picks.

ETH, NEO, NEBL is my choice. Good coin and strong devs team

neblio is great, it will easily grow to 1b this year, which puts it at a 5x gain

The coins you listed are all potential winners but of them all, Ethereum of course stands out. It already has a massive lead in terms of adoption. Just look at all the dAPPS already being built.
ETH is going to the moon, possibly very soon.

I think that ETH will lead the market in currencies, ETH's capitalization is just behind the BTC, followed by NEO, the potential currency in the future. But they will depend on market volatility in the future.

still i will bet on ether , it will remain 1 among all those coins .
followed by Neo and EOS .

at this time only LTC is the coin which can give stron competition to ether in terms of marketcap ..
neo also main competitor , but rest others are not that good .

however in this year too i think eth will be above alll the alt coins .

I believe among the ones you named, ETH will remain number one for a long long time, as it is already a practical product with multiple use cases and massive adoption, others will take many years before they can compete with Eth.

The mention coin has huge potential but most of the coin doesn't have great future like ETH, NEO etc.  In coming year smart contract technology blockchain technology will become the major role and these two coins will have a lot of competition in the market.

IMO 1st place will be between ETH/NEO with 80% share of smart contracts in usage.

The rest 20% will be for the rest like EOS, DRGN, etg.

eth has a strong base in the market, while neo, eos and others still can not be rely on in the future, other than eth I argue and believe that neo will soon increase in the market for the next few months

Some big NEO ICOs going live soon... including Effect.AI, Pikciochain...

I think Neo will see a nice big boom, but won't be toppling ETH for the foreseeable.

I believe the biggest gains will be on NEO, ICX and ARK...and I did put my money on these (not just talk).

This doesn't mean they will topple ETH though.

for me, i wont spend my time to consider what is the 1st altcoin. the most important thing i take care is that choosing a good portfolio which can have me get big profit. And I think you also should do.

eth and neo will be on top, others have potential. They can be considered when planning for an altcoin portfolio. You may also include ETN, INS, Dragonchain from eos, stratis, ark, nebleo. Thse altcoins can be profitable for long term investment.

For me after 5 - 10 years NEO is the one who will lead on those coins you said. If those Chinese billionaires out there supported NEO we will see also the price of NEO will overtake Bitcoin also NEO has a smart contracts which is really good on their platform that's why a lot of ICOs are partnering with NEO and ETH because of their smart contract.

Think is ETH. Because ETH is a direct competitor to Bitcoin. ETH has a strong contract and strong foundation. there is a large community of russians. ETH is the # 1 choice

So strange list. Nothing of this coins not will be Nb.1. We have better coins than in list. That's why my answer is nothing


Russian not the biggest supporters. I don't think that it can make difference

I don't see any platform will beat Ethereum in near future. More likely they will only share their market. Between NEO, EOS, Cardano, and Waves one of them will be the main competitor of Ethereum. IMHO NEO is the strongest candidate.
But possibilities is always exist in cryptoworld. If one of the platform above can propose a breakthrough innovation, the may be able to beat Ethereum.

I think Bitcoin will still be in the number one spot. Among these coins (if they had chance) then I would say ethereum itself. All of the other coins are quite small in marketcap when compared with that to ethereum. But if you want greater Xs return then invest in low marketcap coins among them like neblio, ark etc.

Every coins from your topic can be number one, but it depends about differents aspects. We can not choose one and say: " Hey, this coin will be the best! ". We can only try to guess, but it has no sense. For me here are only better and worse coin.

NEO has some features which can make too very difficult it way up. If ETH change to PoS and speed up own blockchain than it can chance to  leave in Top5. And not otherwise

i bet on Neblio, why?

simple the most gains are to be made in Neblio, NEO has 40x marktcap over Neblio and Ethereum has 400x over marktcap Neblio
You do the math, i don't say Neo and Ethereum are shitcoin, they are truely great. Watching this from investors perspective i made my choice..

ETH, NEO, EOS (+ADA +EXP)  one of them, as they are  platforms, on the basis of which u can build ICO, dApps, etc. You can check  Weiss crypto rating, they gave high rating for platforms.
