2017 is a great growth year for Crypto. How much money did you make from the btc or Alt coin you made?
2018 is coming, please share Alt coin you are HOLD long term. Let me know about your opinion about the currency you will keep in 2018. Let's share the wealth in the crypto field together.
Thanks...  ::)

Definitely Cardano and VeChain. Both have a promising future, I think. Cardano is the third-generation blockchain and VeChain is already being used by a lot of companies. Golden future ahead!

Safe investment: Go for any top 100 coin that appeals to you and has a solid team/product/appearance.

Risky, but lucrative investment: Look out for newcomer-coins or next-to-boom coins with a yet small market capitalization.

I personally have high hopes in ALQO. German coin with a lot of upcoming things (a new exchange being one of those to come this year!).

This UNETOQUE (UNTQ) SOLID REAL USE CASE...

thanks

The altcoins I'm gonna hold long term for the whole 2018 are ETH, ETC, LTC, Mysterium, Kapu, Viuly, Waves and Minexcoin. I think it's worth to wait at least until 2019 before selling them...

Bitcoin, Universa, Ethereum, and IoTChain.

I will be holding ETC for 2018 and 2019.

I will go with Deeponion. I holded them since september and they gave me a lot of profits. Also the dev team is devoloping new features every day, so I think this coin will keep growing even faster than now. I also like enjin coin, check them out.

Waves, Ethereum and Santiment.

I am of opinion that cindicator and electronium will give me good return in 2018. So I will hold these coins.

Hold alts? really?  :D

PIVX, BWK and ETN. Still on the lookout for the coin that will overtake Bitcoin. I don't think it exists yet.

LTC, I think it has a good future.

I am not gonna hold anything. Will sell immediately when I see it's at all time high. Honestly, the main goal of crypto trading is making money. I'm not a coin collector. Will sell and buy back the dip.

I guess you haven't bought any coins for the past couple years then? Everything is and has been at an all time high, going higher and higher....

You sold them all when they were 1% above their previous ATH ( Or simply when you bought them  ::)?)

I think BTC, ETH, LTC, DASH, Monero, ADA, ZCash or Zclassic will be good to hold in 2018.

Ethereum is also an alt, but everyone made huge profit holding it in 2017. May do the same this year, just I would say Cardano, NEO or XEM have potential for big gains also.. even bigger than ETH or BTC since it's easier to grow at low prices.

Basically,
Cardano, Ripple, Stellar and Strat

ETH, QTUM, EDG, XEL, STRAT, PAY, LBC, STRAT, WALTON , TNT, LRC, SUB, CCT

BTC, ETH, NEO, LTC, ZIL, WAN and of course EXXO (details to be announced soon)

Of course. Most alts are trading at low prices right now, so if you have them it would be a shame selling for 30% of their ATH value.
I have some BCH, BTG, ADA, ETH, LTC and GAME and I believe most if not all of them will gain value this year, at least to reach 60-70% of ATH. I'm not selling them lower it would be a waste of money. I know you probably think alts are worthless, but since I got most of them for free or very cheap I'm not going to miss an opportunity and just throw them away.

I would go for NEO and ETH.

most frequent question asked by newbies...what is the good coin to invest?what is the best ICO so on... all i have to tell is do your proper research before  invest.if you are a newbie or if you dont have enough knowledge how to do proper research on project you better spend some  time on few projects like CVProof/tron/ripple/wabi/daneel and learn ther concepts and teams behind those projects.(please consider some of them are still ICO) they are few good projects you can consider as your learning materials.actually if you are in a hurry of buying some coins/invest i will recommend you to follow a crypto-genious who personally known by you until you gained some knowledge about how to do a proper research. otherwise most of the posts you have seen in BCT is usually advertisements/coin promotions
goodluck

Best coin is Bittttttttttconnecttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttttt, oh wait its gone though. does that make it even more valuable since its not on the market anymore?definitely a coin I will keep.

Very Short List:
ETH, XRP, EOS, LTC, NEM, DASH.

Perhaps I will sell a small part at high, buying on bottoms later...

Waves ,Iota ,LTC, ETH and for more risky i like Cosmos and Doge .
Deep Onion is very stable , is a good choise, Monero also and Dash.
NEO and of course Bitcoin.. :o

Great share, keep sharing your coin. Share the wealth of your knowledge with the people.

Apart from Bitcoin, I am interested to see the growth in some altcoins and the biggest one is Ethereum so I would hold it not only in 2018 but at least for next 4 to 5 years from now. I do see growth potential in I.O.T + A.I sector for ethereum considering the smart contract feature.

Nobody is talking about NEO. If you watch more and more ICOs are building on NEO. Its popularity is rising and is still reasonably low to buy into.

I have a huge hold pf, mostly small bags each

$VEN
$ICX
$MAN
$INS
$STRAT
$NULS
$CPC
$AIR
$LINK
$ETP
$IOTA

:). Several will probably be dropped as soon as markets goes bull again. Didn't buy at ath, but made too much losses on most so I will just stick with them. Top section I will probably hold until the end of time :)

I will keep Cardano coin throughout not only 2018, but even longer, because this project will be launched in the couple of years.  :)

I couldn't agree more with these altcoins, and also Ripple :)

Dude I'm keeping my eye on Zoin. Still cheap, zerocoin protocol, desktop wallet and wed wallets arrived and mobile wallet is on its way, masternodes also coming up soon. I feel it is a very promising coin.

My Favorite alt coin is Crestonium. It offers the seamless experience of sending and receiving currency globally at zero cost. Crestonium prides itself as being one of the few cryptocurrencies out there with zero fees . It is on ICO stage now. Don't miss the opportunity go and contribute it.

I would bet on
Ethereum ETH
Ethereum Classic ETC
Ripple XRP
Litecoin LTC

I will be probably holding many altcoins during this year, but the one I belive will grow the most is Hacken (HKN) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2135278.0). I really like it and think cybersecurity projects will be hot this year, since we see more and more hacks in the blockchain space.

I will keep holding DeepOnion, Enjin, ufr, rimbit, linda, bitbay,cvc, trx. I think those are all the coins i will hold during 2018, most of them are really good coins like DeepOnion and Enjin. I also have some coins with a really low market cap and im just waiting to see what happen with them.

First four are the best pick to hodl even more like 3 years, for me this time will give opportunity to just earn like 3/4x more than you invested.

I personally think it's a good idea to have most of your portfolio in platforms, rather than individual projects. The reason being if there are lots of good projects on a platform it will push the price of the platform up anyway, and you therefore spread your risk a bit. For example, I think the reason ETH is #2 is because the demand for it is very high, because of all of the erc20 tokens that operate on the ethereum network. There are also fewer platforms than dapps (obviously!) so it is much more manageable to research and pick good platforms. I therefore hold a lot of ETH, NEO, EOS and ICX.

I am particularly excited about EOS due to zero transaction fees and the 3 potential revenue streams. They are:

1 - Airdrops. EOS.IO have raised over a billion dollars so far and are funding dapps to launch on their platform. As these new projects are already funded they do not distribute their tokens through an Ico. Instead, what they are doing is distributing tokens to EOS holders. Everipedia is the first and most well known of these, but so far 6 have been announced already.

2. Potential ability to rent your EOS to dapp projects. As EOS transactions are free, the way resources are allocated is very different to other platforms. In order to run on the network projects must hold sufficient EOS for the bandwidth they require. This means that many individual investors that aren't running dapps will be able to rent their tokens to those that require bandwidth in the future.

3. Capital growth. Due to 1 and 2 above, and the fact the platform will be orders of magnitude quicker than ethereum I believe the price of EOS tokens will increase significantly over the year. Another reason why I believe this is that it will be possible for erc20 token projects to transfer over to EOS. As current projects need more tps they will surely do this.
