Bitcoin Forum

You heard it first.

Bookmark this thread and come back in 5 years.

You can dump all the rest except BTC.

Why not include Ethereum? the logic for the market is that, most of the altcoins are very trendy and follows bitcoin most of the time. Good choice for having bitcoin to hold for a long term plan.

I don't have cardano and ripple, I see too much hate for Ripple as many don't like it alone. There are other good coins to hold too after 5 years but we have our very own standards.

I think you should include NEO. NEO is really a giant beast hiding. I think it is in the research phase and creating great products in 2020.
I think in a short time, it will come back for $ 100 per coin and now is a good time to buy.

NEO is alright indeed.
Sorry I don't fancy Ethereum too much. To each their own I guess.


But get XRP and Cardano, you won't regret it.

these 2 altcoins are good to hold for long term, but what if that 5 years is a bearish market, just sell them when they reach highest peak. ;)

I don't deny that Cardano (ADA) and Ripple (XRP) are good altcoins, but you don't take Waves into account, in my opinion these altcoins will be better made into future investments than Ripple and Cardano

Yes, agree with your opinion about Waves, in this bear market I heard they collected a lot of money in their Vostok private sale. And Vostok itself is part of Waves, that means it has something to proud of and advantage that we will see in the future.
while honestly, XRP did nothing so far.

lastly, ETH is not that bad too, let's see how fast it will be once they finish their hardfork.

Centralised coin like ripple are not good to hold for long term investments like 5 years so just invest on the short-term basis and decide again later by based on market condition at that situation.

I do like Cardano, especially now that the hype has dropped away a bit and prices are more reasonable. But it's still a longshot compared with ETH, which already has a strong history. Yes, Cardano is supposed to offer better tech, but ETH is already somewhat battle-tested and continues to be upgraded. Cardano hasn't yet proven itself enough. Not saying it's bad, just a bit of a big gamble compared to ETH which is also underpriced right now.

ETH is under-priced compared to its previous price but arguably very over-priced compared to some of its competitors. That's of course on the basis of it being inferior tech wise. I understand your point about it being battle tested but at some point the other coins will be too. ETH has to find a way to get back to being on a par with them, or people will eventually transition to the other coins.

+Waves I believe it's a better hold than allot of altcoins now. Volume is up daily and Sasha is making another big announcement tomorrow.

Are you shilling for ADA? NEO is a joke coin that will die ASAP. EOS even better than ADA. Centralized coin as ripple when any decision must have decided by the company should not exist in the future. It's totally centralized coin for sure. ADA doesn't seem good. I prefer ONT rather than it.

Ripples do have unexpected developments and this provides a good opportunity for investors to be able to continue to develop their coins but are centralized. Cardano, I think, is also developing but not as good as Riak, the increase in value today gives a positive sensation and will become a favorite coin for the community.

Yes, both the Cardano and Ripple are the best coins for holding in the long term because potential coin with active developments will always increase their price in the market. Better it very good to include other portfolio coins like ETH, NEO, ICN etc will help you to make some decent profit for holding long term.

Will pick on Ripple only with ETH. Because sometime i only pick big coins with stable price and not really good at new coins even people start to believe in ADA. But this is only personal pick.

Everyone loves Dogecoin!

I think he has made up his mind not to choose ethereum, he's just into ada and XRP. I don't agree with XRP but it's all your money to invest with that coin.

Cardano for five years is doubtful, then it is better to take a lisk or waves. Ripple is really showing her maximum, or is it against the background of a general decline.

The two coin which is Cardano and Ripple is good altcoins that good for 5 years holding. But you can add more coins I think like ethereum and litecoin which is more potential for me than the two coin that you mentioned. Bitcoin mayne the value after 5 years will not here and become dead if this dumping did not stop but if we can stop it and start rising market mayne 5 years become more better.

We will see both of these coins grow, and have good development. XRP's market capitalization is able to shift ETH and this certainly makes the holders more proud and will continue to survive. Cardano has good growth, it can enter the 15 highest coins even though it is ranked 11th, and this is able to shift NEO and NEM.

Why bother holding altcoins if you're going to just pick the highet valued ones on the market? Just hold Bitcoin then... Altcoins are great because you can pick out undervalued gems from heaps of garbage and reap the benefits. Can't do that with coins that are already among the highest market caps.

Okay, I will agree with you, but at first, you need to provide something interesting news or update about ADA and Ripple to claim this big decision! I mean you are suggesting to ignore rest of the altcoins! In my view, Cardano and Ripple are very established currency and very popular too! That's why their rank is always in the top 10! But I think you should mention ETH too in your short list! 

The movement of Riak and Cardano is indeed good, although it is said to be slow but still smooth. Every time up and down but not too sharp, so it can be another alternative for investment and must have a wise attitude when it will be saved and time to throw it away.

I have Cardano and Ripple from a long time ago, and I still hold it until now besides selling when the price was increasing before. It doesn't matter if many people underestimate the coin, but for me, as long as I can make a profit from any coins, I will use it, I will buy and sell or even hold it, I will make sure to make a profit until the coins are useless for me then I will not buy any more.

Both of these coins are going well and continue to provide changes that we don't expect. So it really deserves to be an investment, value is not always bad and can provide benefits to me. I will keep it.

That bitcoin and in this case is not needed, especially if you predict ripple as the closest and most dangerous competitor. Cardano is of course an average choice, and not bad, but not good enough.

I think BTC is not feasible to dispose of but still needs to be extracted and collected, because most whales in this condition will use it. Cardano and Riak are running but not always bad for investment and this will also benefit those who still keep them.

The fact is that today it is impossible to predict how things will work for a particular project. Only having survived the current state of the cryptocurrency market and when everything stabilizes, then perhaps it will be possible to say about some prospects for the future, including Cardano or ripple.

cant deny that both of cardano and ripple are very good stuff to invest in very long term period. i predict only a few altcoin will last until the next five year and both of them are worth of investment. But, my first option are still believe in BTC and ETH for very long term period investment, because i want to minimize the risk if sometheing will happen in the next couple year. And i consider waves are pretty good also to buy.

I won't hodl Coins like that for 3 year and 5 years or 10 Years. Will definitely sell Them at the next bull run and hold btc or fiat . I think Cardano will be massive in 2020 .so much potential to grow in Price also than btc or xrp.

Indeed, in reality, the market predictions will not be predictable, and if you can get through this condition then the coins are worthy of long-term investment. Cardano and Riak will continue to carry out renovations for a better future.

I have both of these coins. I would like to get rid of Ripple, waiting for my price.
Cardano looked good in 2017. They have big plans, which they postponed from time to time. I don’t know how they are doing according to their github and publications. Now I look only at the price chart, this is the most objective indicator. And I like it.

Cardano is moving very slowly. It can be crushed under new future projects. Cosmos or aeternity .

Ripple still has market capitalization $ 13,5 higher than Eth, but I think this is only temporary and deserves to be a daily investment. Cardano also has a higher capitaization than Binance, possibly still requires a lot of innovation to be able to increase its value again.

Ripple has to be taken with a grain of salt. Centralized and more than 60% of the total supply are not even in the market. Additionally, the court still didnt decide in the "Ripple vs Top Banks" case.

Lol, diversify your portfolio, you can add ledu, eos and some other coins, not just those two.

Holding for 5 years is too long for this volatile market as the market could go bloodbath all year. I will hold and sell my coins when it goes at peak price and buyback once it goes dip. Many good alts that can add on Cardano, I'm choosing stellar and Tron as these could also going to impress the market with their new developments. Sorry I don't have ripple this time.

You also have to add ETH and Waves to your list because ETH and waves are good potential coins, which I think 1 or 2 years later the value will go up.

For some reason, it is Cardano and ripples that are the closest competitors of etherium. But I think that these are so different projects that they cannot be considered competitors. But to add a coin to my portfolio, I would still choose a stellar.

I also wonder why people focus on these two coins. In any case, this may occur due to the lack of adequate start-up capital, otherwise, if there are funds, you can invest in all top-rated coins from the top ten.
