Can someone give a a few list of altcoins that doesn't depend on bitcoin and ETH,the coins that are stand alone and only surge in value on their own?

Even if we list someone of them based on what they said on their whitepaper that they are standalone, but practically, most of the altcoins that I have ever seen or come across all depend on bitcoin or Ethereum to grow. I don’t know of Binance coins though, because I have never monitored their progress to know if they depend not on bitcoin since they are operating on a difference chain already, but if you have gone to coinmarketcap several times, you will see that virtually all the coins that you see listed there only depend on bitcoin,which I don’t think we have any other coin that is still listed outside the coinmarketcap, except those coins that has not entered an exchange. I therefore doubt if you will get any truthful coin that is standalone.

I think the one that matches your description is the altcoins of the StableCoin type, however the price of bitcoin and Ethereum they more stable following the guaranteed assets that they have.

although, I don't know this is what you looking for or not. but here's the list

There aren't any really. Now some coins will surge on their own and outpace btc, but it's not like they are completely disconnected from the price of BTC. Even ETH isn't disconnected from the price of BTC.

Stablecoins would be the closest thing, but there you obviously wouldn't really earn any money.

The dominance of Bitcoin is always about 40-60%, it too high for altcoin to escape the price constraint.
If you don't care about profits, Stablecoins (USDT, TrueUSD ...) is an answer.

Due to BTC dominance of 64 percent, every single altcoin/coin depends on BTC right now. Secondly, if you are searching for standalone token you can put away all tokens and concentrate only on coins. Look at top 20 coins like NEO, Stellar or LTC.

There is no such thing as a standalone altcoin, all cryptocureencies that isn't Bitcoin responds synonymously to bitcoin's price increase and decrease, although they respond at different rate, but every altcoins gets affected by BItcoin's price.

I don't think there will be any more stable coins than ETH and BTC. If so, it will not have pairs dealing with ETH or BTC, some coins with only pairs with stablecoin or fiat will not depend on BTC and ETH

Just go here: https://coinmarketcap.com/coins/

These all are standalone platforms, but since BTC dominates the market, their value is correlative to it.

There are practically no coins that are not tied to Bitcoin and the Ethereum, since trading takes place mainly on these trading pairs. But you can follow the course of coins on the site: https://coinmarketcap.com/ and choose for yourself the best coin to invest.

I think the op is confused about the concepts of coins and tokens too. coins have their own blockchain and tokens run on some platform like eth, stellar, eos, tron, neo, qtum... but this has nothing to do with prices.

bitcoin is the main benchmark of the market and influences other crypto prices cause they are listed in pairs with btc.

Now there are very many coins that are born, so coins that stand alone are clearly there like stable coins that use a platform from the dollar, even though the coin can also be exchanged into BTC and ETH, so the increase in stable coins has no effect on the BTC price and ETH.

Unfortunately as I've seen most of the altcoins despite not under the blockchain of any other cryptocurrency still huge or little affected by either Bitcoin or ETH even USDT and many stablecoin got a little dump when the bearish happens since they are like the benchmark and pair of anycoin out there. If what you mean by standalone coins is to have their own blockchain then you can see on the CMC and check their blockchain explorer and you will find it out.

that is two entirely different and independent questions.
lets start withe the second one: altcoins that don't get dumped each time bitcoin rises or falls?
there are no such altcoins unfortunately. all of them are affected by bitcoin price because the investors treat all of them as tools to increase their bitcoin wealth so logically they all move to bitcoin market each time bitcoin is making a move either up or  down.

the first question: altcoins that are standalone and don't depend on bitcoin or other altcoins?
it is easier to categorize them instead of giving you a list since there are nearly 3000 of them. basically for bitcoin any coin that is using the Omni layer is depending on bitcoin network and can technically be considered not-standalone. there are others like litecoin, bitcoin-cash, .... that copy literary everything from bitcoin and they can also be considered not-standalone.
as for altcoins, usually any coin that is considered a "token" and is created on a "smart contract platform" such as ethereum, waves,... are not-standalone.
everything else can be considered standalone.

Harmony got a lot of buzz and I think they really had a rocket start at Binance. One of the more promising projects.

I don't think you investing in this market is a good idea,
Just buying USDT And wait for it to rise. Huh?
In investing, there's always win and lose. Even you hold the fiat money, still have an inflation rate.
So accept that you can lose when investing.

I think all altcoins are dependent on bitcoin since all of them or most of the altcoins is traded in BTC pair so if the bitcoin price was down offcourse altcoins also affected, unlike if altcoins was all traded in US$ dollars it cannot affect that much since US$ dollar will not dip the way like Bitcoin does. so my verdict was no standalone altcoins for me in that particular reason.
