Let me know your thoughts:

1. THETA (THETA Network Token): this is based on my underlying assumption that the first winner in what is now a pool of shitcoins/tokens will be one to attract an audience that gets to interact with something connected to its blockchain in real life. Genuine blockchain technology supporters are either young or developers (NOT the investors/traders/financial institutions backing it), This generation is generally nihilist, doesn't give a fuck about existing power structures, and wants to create and live within an ecosystem created and designed according to their needs, not others. Where better to start than something like THETA and the THETA Network / THETA coin,
which brings a decentralized version of online streaming (think Twitch on steroids) catered to gamers and their fans. Twitch supports the project, its launched a successful mainnet, operates a visually stunning platform through sliver.tv (which is currently building support base). Theta Fuel operates like BAT tips, where users can subscribe to channels and get virtual perks and a host of future developments. Just think...  Dr. Disrespect himself making a live appearance on Sliver.tv and doing a 24/hr stream-athon.

2.  ADA (Cardono): Not really a SLEEPING giant, but compared to its often cited rival, EOS, the ADA platform is ridiculously more sophisticated, well-thought out, and is slowly being implemented to ensure a smooth transition into Shelley. Regardless of whether Shelley drops this month or next year is immaterial to its long term use case. The Cardono user base is (a) extremely active (b) the highly technical network allows for non-technical users to stake and participate, (c) the ADA developer cost / coin value is tiny -- meaning users are getting highly developed technical support developed and designed by some of the worlds brightest engineers for a fraction of a penny of what it costs to be a Bitcoin or XRP developer. Cardano is truly decentralized and assigns "master node" status at random to anyone able and willing to maintain a stable internet connection 24/7. At $.04, you'd be crazy IMO not to put aside 5% or so of your portfolio for ADA. ADA will defeat the multi-billion dollars shitcoin, EOS, which is run by some kid with a shitty track record. I don't even understand how their ICO generated so much cashflow

3. BNB (Binance Coin): Owning BNB is more comparable to owning shares in a company than most coin offerings, but even at $18.00 it is so undervalued. Binance is to crypto-trading what Apple is (or used to be) to the retail tech industry. Bigger, faster, and more creatively Binance's growth internationally will inevitably drive up the price of its own coin. This is true despite the fact that a large majority of users can't even access BNB (the US) without going through backdoor channels. Every other exchange just creates a platform and leaves it running. Binance is actually developing partnerships with countries, banks, and ICOs to offer a variety of offerings no other exchange offers.

4. DGB (DigiByte): Not many know this, but DGB has been actually been around since 1993 while. Similar to LTC, but 100x faster, DGB is a BTC carbon copy. It is a decentralized global UTXO PoW based blockchain with a focus on Cyber Security, DigiAssets, Payments & Secure Communications Technologies. It allows for 15-second block time (60 transactions per second) at a virtually free (<.0001USD/transaction). Why is the price of DGB so low right now (.008USD) is hard to say, but likely corresponds with a high circulating supply, coupled by lack of awareness and not being available on many platforms. Look for DGB to begin being exchanged on more and more platforms as ALTs increase and BTC dominance continues to drop below 50% next year. DGB is appealing because when it jumps, it JUMPS. Look at the daily charts and check out June 2017 and January 2018, followed by a couple of smaller waves. We still haven't hit the third Jump, although it seems imminent and could perhaps occur even before 2020.
 
5. MANA (Decentraland): Connects digital currency with the purchase or land. Think about that - buying parcels of land online in an instant by using their marketplace platform. How fucking cool is that? MANA is a direct and actual use-case example, and its based upon real estate. I'm just learning more about MANA, but other than THETA, I haven't seen a better use-case offering yet.

From your list i would choose bnb and ada, no doubt ada is a real seeping giant and its profit potential is huge while bnb although good longterm but i would not call it sleeping because it has already gained good value even in otherwise bearish market, im sure it still has good potential to grow bit i think it is still not cheap and its value is good.

Here is my favorite one Binance coin, from your sleeping Giants list. Binance coin is climbing up to top. Litecoin is also my favorite from top coin. For Giants rewards or profits you should check Pundi X and Harmony. More good is new high volume coin because old Giants coin couldn't surge to top.

From your entire list, I would put the Cordano project in the lead, but only after the BNB. One of my favorite coins, although it in itself has extremely relative value, but in combination with the ecosystem created around the BNB, makes it a welcome guest in my portfolio. I don’t really like the rest of the coins, due to the fact that there are many analogues on the market with a more promising future.

Uhm your list is good and I hope they all will rise to new levels regarding tech and price. If I would have to pick from your list, ada and dgb can produce the best surprises when it comes to sleeping giants but the rest of them I'm not so sure especially BNB when they had to close the doors for USA traders so a large part of the volume moved away and this can negatively impact the price in the future. You can add on your list coins like Waves , Insolar , Pumapay, Blocknet which are sleeping giants in my opinion as well.

Actually, I wouldn't add Binance Coin to that list. The project is already in the top 10 at CMC. And it seems to me that the Binance Coin will continue to increase its price in the future. Because behind it is Binance, the world's No. 1 exchange. I think it can probably do 10x in a possible bull run, whether it can replace Ethereum is debatable but I think he has very serious potential.

Not a bad analysis, op.  I'm not sure I completely concur with your picks but you made good arguments for those coins.  Personally I don't buy tons of altcoins and only have about 5, and they're kind of the 'brand name' ones (except for a couple of POS coins).  I'd not heard of Theta at all, but then again I don't pay attention to tokens all that much.

Out of all of those, I get the feeling BNB is going to be a hot one.  There have been many threads I've seen with people expressing positive sentiments about it.  I may have to see about buying some, kind of like buying a lottery ticket.  If it hits, I could win big.  But oh, by the way, I don't think it's a sleeper.  It's well known and a lot of investors own some.

Your list is quite impressive. I'll have a closer look at rhem and buy into some, who knows they could really perform this coming rally. I am more interested in projects that are down 80-95% since ATH, have survived at least two market cycles and are still being worked upon by the team. A good example would be BlockNet(BLOCK).

yes, binance coin and cardano already become a giant in this industry, so this is not a sleeping giant anymore  ;)
because as you mentioned above both alts now in the TOP list coin at coinmarketcap
regards

ADA, Binance coin, and DGB entered my list too, but I added 2 more coins, it was Chainlink and Huobi token..  some time ago Chainlink had attracted attention and Huobi was not much different.

---

for Theta and Mana that you put on the list, I'm not sure these two are included in the Sleeping Giant in 2020 category.

Nice analysis, but the only coin I'm holding for long term on the list here is BNB.  I was a huge fan of ADA till I lost it over time, I think it's been overhyped. I think you are missing out ICX, nobody talking about it right now but most blockchain development by Korean government revolves around ICON blockchain.  TRX is another coin I'm holding and think it has great prospects due to the development which is not on the list here.

I too have BNB on the list. As the BNB is exchange backed and has the leading trade support surely it'll not decline with time. When the use of cryptocurrencies increase, there will be increase in the usage of exchanges. This means with trust one can invest on BNB and similar exchange backed coins. Utrust too is good in its development, and apart from this as most of the users I too have cardano in my list.

Owning BNB is more comparable to owning shares in a company than most coin offerings

That's what actually scares me away from BNB ... now if the SEC is fine with it, then sure, it may be a decent investment. However who knows what the SEC thinks. If looking at it impartially, it does seem awfully similar to a security.

I am not really familiar with other but with the help of your explanation I simply understand them. I agree with the first 3 as good investment choice, I will try your first 3 suggestions in my next investment as they have potentials to grow.


The rest are also good but I am not really convinced with their project. If they will grow also in the future then I may consider also buying them as my target investments right now are likely 2-5 coins/altcoins and I have btc and eth right now as my investment. Keep up the good work and I hope this kind of sharing will continue so it can help others to decide on what to invest next.

Good review I will be checking these coins too, I think Nano formerly XRB is one of the sleeping giants too, Last Bullrun its price I think reaches $30 + and now only $0.8 +. Nano is an ultrafast, fee-less and decentralized network. Are we seeing a huge jump from these coins or not? Who knows.

If SEC is feeling fine about that and that means if BNB is a utility coin and not a security coin. You must know what's the difference between security and utility.
I can call you own the shares of the company when it was included in the security coin that gives you the possibility to receive the profit that will be generated from the company.
But if that was a utility usage and you will receive benefits from the coin after you bought it.

I can't even say a lot about that because it looks so difficult to classify whether binance has included in the security or utility.

https://usethebitcoin.com/is-binance-coin-bnb-a-utility-token-or-a-security/

Very interesting list. If I may argue, I would choose BNB of course. Because this token is backed up by its own exchange. If the exchange is growing, I think BNB will also develop. On the other hand, I think XLM also includes sleeping giant. With super fast delivery, many of us use their platform as a means of sending funds from the smallest globally. Of course, at an affordable cost.

I think this is a good list. I personally like BNB on this list. Because the BNB is one of the top coins in the coinmarketcap. The next thing is the BNB is a native coin on Binance exchange. We all know Binance is the top exchange in the crypto market. The BNB has a lot of updates recently. I hope the BNB has a good future. The other coins also not a bad choice. But you have to analyze them yourself before invest in them.

Some of those above-mentioned coins are not anymore sleeping giants. BNB is widely awake in my way of looking it. And the battle of top exchange is always raging. The number one spot is always changing hands. ADA had just went back to sleep. It was a dominating giant when it first appeared and now it is getting weak. MANA is not a project which offers something new. There were already similar projects before and they are now unheard of. By the way, the entire market seems to be sleeping. That includes the real giants such as ETH. BTC, the god, is also asleep.

That's the big question, are they feeling fine about it? Who knows. Rather than lay out guidelines, apparently they just sort of bide their time & hand out lawsuits whenever they feel like it.

They basically waited until the last minute before shutting down Gram, for instance. Some companies get a minor fine (EOS), others get a hefty fine for seemingly doing less than EOS did.

So I have no clue what they think of BNB, or if they ever plan to do anything about it at all. They may ignore it, or next month they crush Binance with a huge fine, and US exchanges are told not to list it. No idea how it will go, and that is what would scare me a little about putting real money into the coin.

I should add that I don't mean this as FUD and I'm not trying to scare away anyone from the coin. For all I know it'll end up being a great longterm investment. I'm just saying that personally I'm a little wary ... it's closer to a security than a lot of other coins are.

Bringing yourself in needs to have more detailed information regarding to the project that you are going to invest your money. It's not easy to predict how the US government will stand about this project and with that, the risk really adding concerned. You need specifically learn about the project before choosing to place your order.

BNB investment is worthy if you did extra effort to investigate and analyze the whole process. Always find time to do your research.

Of the five most potential altcoin lists based on OP, I am most interested in BNB. We all know that BNB is supported by Binance, one of the global exchanges with a very good reputation with high trading volume. Binance often involves BNB in various innovations attracting new investors, such as when holding IEO, investors must hold a certain amount of BNB. That is the first reason. The second reason, why a potential BNB is within a certain period of time coins will be burned. The last coin burning occurred in the fourth quarter of 2018, valued at the US $30 million. We all know that when supply decreases while demand is high, prices will rise. So, investing BNB is very valuable.

It is not considered that holding BNB is a stake of Binance, although holding BNB is required to purchase an IEO, or use it as a DEX listing fee, BEP2 transaction fee, and BEP2 token migration. But Binance does not share any profits to BNB holders.

you forgot about BCH, he is the younger brother of bitcoin, and while he will be at the forefront in 20 and 21 years. and from your list I would choose the BNB coin, in my opinion the most promising

Sleeping giant is
https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/sleeping-giant

The meaning of sleeping giants that you attach to the 5 coins you have is only based on price or is there something else for example the technology?
Only ADA and DGB that I'm interest to have it.

I will choose Binance Coin from your list. Binance Coin is the currency of the Binance ecosystem, the potential of the Binance ecosystem is huge so I think BNB will thrive in the future.

He might forget to add ETH and BTC as 5 sleeping giant of the coin of 2020 :D

We know that ETH and BTC have a chance to increase in every year. Bitcoin itself will have halving in the next year, which can increase so high. Ethereum can be the next potential coins at the market, which can also increase, especially if the ethereum 2.0 release. I think OP has a good list, but we might agree that bitcoin will be one of the sleeping giants that will get an increase in the next year.

I think your list might be good. BNB is extra for this list, the price of exchange based coin may not be a good investment for the future. The price has risen well this year but as you can see, it is over when exchnage stopped IEO sales. Besides, noone can guarantee that binance will always be successful until next year. Eventually, I wonder why ETH and BTC are not on this list? Are not you planning to invest in them?

To be a sleeping giant, I'm not so sure coins ranked so highly already really qualify. Now I like some of the OP's coins and they may do well, but several of them are already semi-Giants. Perhaps only coins ranked 20+ ... or 50-300ish could really be called sleeping giants, as that infers coins without any hype or much recognition, but one day may be very profitable.


Problem of course is picking a future giant from the zillion coins out there. There are some coins I like, but I'd hardly say with any certainty they'll ever crack the top 10.

I don't label BTC and ETH as sleeping giant because these two coins dominated the market for a long time and consecutively prove their status as top 1 & 2 coins in crypto market for each year past. With regards on OP's list, I consider Cardano (ADA) to bloom next given that they have an active community and rapid development.

I haven't studied this one, but i'll take a look at it later today


I've been interested about ADA from the start, but sold my coins too early and didn't want to enter back until lately.
I agree about everything you say and i see most potential in this on these 5 you mentioned. In fact most potential to fight 2nd place in the marketcap with ETH.

About that EOS reference: Just because Dan Larimer left his earlier projects doesn't mean that he has a shit track record, they weren't icos so he wasn't really obligated to stay.
Now i wouldn't technically trust a guy after such moves but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be brilliant on what he does.
Imho Graphene in Bitshares was brilliant and steemit was a good idea. But i understand the controversies on dpos system, and i can only lose defending that.


While coin offerings are far away from owning shares, i can't see owning BNB comparable to shares either. This whole coin wouldn't exist without CZ charisma and presence on the crypto twitter. This whole exchange has a cult-like followers (which is always a good thing, so has Apple). He is easy to approach but i am having doubts after this https://twitter.com/jaredctate/status/1175069765947314176

(I am little bitter selling bnb before the huge rise at the bullrun. But then again, everything did rise so i don't think i lost anything.)

And with that twitter link brings me to your next coin DGB:


Now i don't know anymore if i want to invest into a coin that has a founder as a spokesman who picks up a fight with CZ. Even if it doesn't need the founder anymore to thrive.


I wish i had been in this from the start, now i've been catching up lately because i am heavily in to non-fungible tokens now and i see a lot of potential in this.
But as always, these kind of things are aimed for the masses but the bottleneck on the adoption will be the learning curve because the eth is still a strange concept for the public and most clients are like computers without a case; People don't really need to see what's going on under the hood and get all confused about it.

BNB and ADA definitely have the most potential, although I would rather choose Cardano than Binance Coin, since BNB success depends on what will happen to Binance. Binance seems to know what it wants, as well as what it is doing, but one big screw-up, and the coin would suffer greatly. ADA, on the other hand, might go for the stars some day, and the only issue with it is that it likes taking its time.

i think binance not become sleeping giant anymore.this coin already show its power and quality.we talk on price and trading  volume side binance already fullfilled this term.in future bnb coin price still have chance to improve anymore.maybe i will add universa / utn as my sleeping giant i future

On your list id go with ADA DIGIBYTE and BNB, to me they are more stronger than THETA and MANA, i would replace those with BCH and LTC and day, but BNB token tops out of the list, i can't call it a sleeping dragon because its head is all out and triumphing

Digibyte and ADA are the most shittiest of the lot that you have listed here. BNB is iffy for me because I do not think Binance will remain the leader in the niche for the coming years. It would eventually lose ground to a more western and centralized power.

returning to topic, I think Digibite is shit because of the lack of development in the project. It is no joke when people laugh at digibyte like a meme. because it is.

i guess some of them should not wake up :) they will die while sleeping. platform coins/tokens should be survive whatever will be done but especially project tokens will die at the end.

In my opinion there are much more projects that can potential surprise everybody. XLM, ETH and LTC must finally do something and decrease the BTC dominance to achieve price goals. From new coins I prefer, WPP, ICNQ and XYO.

If ever I will replace it I'll just add electroneum and IOST as well Waves since Im hoping my holding will still have more worth when bull run starts. I never had Theta and Mana but I will consider monitoring these 2. Will try to recheck my holdings if still worth having specially this time, since they can be much better to be in trade that to hold so I can have other alts.

Only BNB based on my opinion become better at the future with five list you have made, ADA and THETA are not good solution for long term investment because very hard to get back to higher price, less investor and owner communicate with big company. BNB have chance to get profit at the future with how active Binance dev want to build BNB with very moment, burn coin to less supply and make meeting with big company.

Coin BNB should be to you in the first place. This is an unprecedented case when an intra-exchange token is so popular and traded not only on its native exchange, but also on dozens of other trading platforms. Binance is actively developing and I think BNB will still show new price heights. The Decentraland project is certainly interesting, but I have seen similar developments in competitive projects and I must say that MANA does not look like a clear favorite against them. The DGB is great, but it has historically happened that with all its advantages, it will not be able to compete with Bitcoin.  

No matter how good the early days of coins are, once there is no more production updates or somehow to keep the hype alive they will never do fine especially in this type of market movement we are in, if there is good roadmap for coins there won't be any need to be sleeping, they are sleeping dragons because things have become slow on the productions and roadmaps, excluding bnb token cos that's not a sleeping dragon but a woken one

Well, it depends on how do you define "sleeping giants". I guess ADA and BNB could be sleeping giants as well if they dominate the 2020 price growth and adoption, but most of the time when I hear this phrase I think about the projects that are out of the top 50 per MC or even out of the top 100. So my picks would be Hedera, Aion, Reserve, maybe Fantom and an obscure one 0chain.

I don't agree with all of your picks but BNB, ADA and DGB surely got potential. Among these three, BNB has highest chance of reaching moon in 2020. It is one of the hottest coin among investors right now and surely one of the best too.

PNK (Kleros): Less than 2M marketcap and Vitalik shilled project: https://www.investinblockchain.com/vitalik-mentions-2-projects-on-ethereum-that-could-replace-human-verification/ Nice wp and excellent tokenconomics.

LIT (Lition): Less than 2M marketcap and partnership with SAP, just launched their mainnet and they are adding many use cases to their platform (last one with lawpilots). They are working as well with German financial and energetic companies.

FTM (Fantom): About 20M marketcap, potentially a top 20/15 in coinmarketcap. First DAG with smart contract platform. They will launch their mainnet shortly. Currently working with African financial institutions amongst many other partnerships.

Most cryptocurrency in your list are already experienced a price boom during the 2017 bullrun exept "THETA" so i think they are not going to be a sleeping giant in 2020, While Binance coin (BNB) is already a giant even before 2020 has not yet came, while others are still struggling to survive in the harsh and unfriendly cryptocurrency environment  ADA, DGB,MANA and THETA are experiencing nowadays with downtrend of prices as we all know in crypto its very hard to keep the price competitive for a longterm Well 2020 is nearing so let us wait.

The list of coins you have are good, but i am into new projects this days, newer projects are been released to outperform the old projects, i focused more on projects announced by big exchanges like binance, the best one on your list is binance token

Out of the list above I will go for Theta, Digi and bnb, Ada has not really impress me for a long time now, am not exactly sure if it fits into the sleeping giant list, Mana I know nothing of but I intend to make some research regarding it, however,  it is not easy to tell what will happen in 2020 if there will be a bull or not.

BNB should not be on your list because this coin is not a sleeping giant, it keeps moving up from time to time while everybody keeps dumping. Based on those lists, I recommend you to focus on Theta because it has a big potential compared to MANA, DGB, and ADA. Just focus on Theta because something big will happen in the future, it has started.

BNB is a great coin and I don't think we should call it a sleeping Giant since it has been performing really well this year.
At that price I also believe it is still undervalued and BNB shows how strong this coin is by making a new ATH while most of the coins are struggling.
We can rely on this coin for a long term investment because based on its performance its likely to be called now as the king of altcoins.

This year, this coin was successful only because the Binance platform conducted very successful IEOs and forced people to buy this coin to participate. fundamentally, the coin did nothing for users, not for technology

From the mentioned coins, I strongly believe in the future potential of BNB, ADA. There is no need to find the altcoins from the top 50 coinmarketcap list, the potentially good altcoin are the coins which are not found by the majority of the crypto traders. Therefore, the daily volume and marketcap of the mentioned type coins have a low interest by the crypto investors. I prefer to make a portfolio by dividing my holdings between the top and low volume altcoins.

Thank you for sharing, been seeking for top 5 coins too, but, for now I am also considering GRIN, RVN, me and my friends are holding some of it as well as very little BTC and Eth, but I am also taking for consideration BNB, as it is widely used in Binance ecosystem, so it will really have a huge potential to grow more.

That's more like balanced investing. If those low volume coins pump their price it can really give you some huge profits though it's riskier because you aren't sure if that would happen. On the other hand top altcoins already proved their use-cases that is why it is popular among many people and the chance of huge dump is not likely to happen. For me I prefer to only invest on bitcoin and 2 altcoins of my choice.

Well ok nice list, ADA ang BNB are the sleeping giants in 2020 for sure. I hope that your coins will pump in the next year. What about ETH? it's a potential altcoin also, there is a chance that ETH will pump in the next year because of ETH 2.0.

Maybe we have the same reason why. I always choose binance from my altcoin list and the reason why is because, I believe sooner or later, if the market improves drastically, more and more traders will go ahead and use the binance platform, meaning to say that more and more people will take advantage of the BNB coin, if I hold allot of it right now, I can be assured that I am prepared for the profit of the future.

Your list is good, but only to of them fits in portfolio. First BNB has no doubt the next big thing people really are talking about this since its tied to well performing company Binance. Second will be DGB, I find it one of the undervalued coin, in my opinion it has a good potential and also versatile crypto asset.

from the five coins you wrote, I am more interested in DGB and BNB, the reason is not much different from what you mentioned, especially BNB, the use of BNB is very clear because there is a binance behind it,
and if I have to add another coin, I choose BCH, the price of BCH is very high and now it is falling very deep, it is possible that BCH will return to its peak.

I think the sleeping giant BNB has already awaken. It has been a great months since the inception of their launchpad and clearly its a good move since most exchange follow their path, and even the release of their blockchain has make significant help in keeping them one of the good project in this new generation. Other project listed is also good but this one is my best bet, and very practical for a crypto enthusiast to support and use a very known exchange.

I choose BNB from your list as i have observed that the team is very active of promoting the coin that is why i swap some of my Altcoins to BNB. Actively promoting is the key and vital to the success of every project because it will create awareness and information about the beauty of the commodity making more people to be attracted to invest.

Yes, BNB is one of my top list too, I see the potential of it knowing this is a coin of Binance, and we all know what CZ can do, he is aiming for his coin to be in top list so for sure it could go higher, so, we should take this for consideration, I also know some of tokens that I am still watching as of today, if I am sure this is worth to invest, would love to share it here too.

Not one your five lists become my recommendation to buy because I trust only with altcoin on the top market like ethereum, I can't trust with altcoin have billion supply because not all their coin on holder hand, many atcoin still hold by dev and they will playing with price when higher sell all of their assets and you as an investor will lost much if keep holding with altcoin have unlimited supply like Theta or cardano coins.

The game now is on exchanges and BNB has its own exchange which is one of the most popular exchange if not the most popular.
So we can expect that the owner will find ways to make their own coins to have a good price improvement.

If ETH were able to reach over a thousand dollars in value just because of the hype of ICO, we can also consider BNB which their exchange is leading when it comes to IEO which is the new trend now.

Binance is the truly sleeping giant, of development and growth is the best. Platform and dex technology, just how many really become this BNB community. Binance also handles several IEOs that have attracted investors' attention, they also guarantee the safety and suitability of the IEO investment site.

Binance coin is not a sleeping giant! it is a real GIANT in the community but its alive and working to go up in the market.
Digibyte is also not a sleeping giant, this token rise in 2017 and reach the top.

These 2 has a bright future that is why its on my basket and waiting for the rise again!

ADA is great one because the team always works on it and that is the key, they didn't just get money and funds to stop than to live forever, some teams just make an ICO and get the funds to live forever without caring about the rest of the project, ADA is not like that, they work on their project.

BNB is definitely my top candidate for being one of the biggest altcoins ever in the future, top 3 candidate in my eye, ripple is useless anyway and doesn't deserve their spot and they are artificially increasing their numbers anyway so they will go down eventually, lets hope that happens soon and I feel like BNB could rival top 3 with eth together.

I don't really have a third because those two are good enough but if I had to pick a third I would say DASH has a pretty solid masternode deal, maybe that might interest people in the future.

In your list I will select BNB and ADA both are great projects BNB is not sleeping giant as it has grown 200% even in bearish season and is still in very good position ADA has also huge potential may be in near future in 2020, Thanks to sharing good list.

Not sure about Theta
But MANA is definitely cool
VR/AR based land game allows a huge revoke of currently gaming industry

You could really do ALOT in this VR land
Gambling casinos, Promoting your products like an Ads banner in the MANA world, even selling digital stuffs in a digital marketplace in a digital world
It is just awesome but it takes time for all these to be built

Of the five options above, in my opinion DGB and ADA have great potential in the future. Both of these coins are traded in large exchangers, in addition to having large liquidity that provides a sense of security for investors

The list is superb,  but i think that binance coin will make a whole lot of profit for investors in 2020. It was the only coin beat its ATH price in after the bear market where all coins dumped,  thanks to CZ innovative idea of rebranding the IEO of which BNB was used as the criteria for participating in Binance IEO.  This had a great effect on the price of BNB and with all indication CZ is planning another big idea in 2020 and BNB wont be left out if it

Now here is a great contribution to this topic, not just sheer shilling in the vein of "great project, moon soon!", but backed up with some arguments. I am familiar with Fantom and Lition, but not with Kleros, so I am adding it to my list of "soon to do due diligence", thanks. I have a solid bag of Fantom already and looking at the Lition price action and its graph, it could be a solid entry point right now as well.

Of the 5 assets that you have, I think only Binance Coin can provide a lot of profit potential because Binance Coin has a platform that is used by many people so it's better you can use your trading capital for just a little because I see 5 altcoins in my opinion too much .

Looks like everyone is super bullish on BNB. I share their opinion. Why not? BNB has been one of the top performers of 2019. Even if It's currently down around 30-40% from It's all time high, I know for a fact that It'll make a new high. Maybe not this year. But It's certain. I've never been involved(traded or invested) with the rest of the coins OP posted. But Theta seems good alongside MANA. But ADA won't be on my list. The high marketcap leaves little room for growth. BNB would be profitable despite its high marketcap. Even today, About $36M worth of BNB was burned!  🔥

that is a good list only because at least you have some good reasoning behind it although i do believe that this bag is no different than other altcoin bags and it will dump like others and just as easily.

there are also some coins in that list that don't have that much potential for any more pumps. for instance BNB is growing because of Binance growth and all their pumping power but it is already super pumped so i don't think we can expect any more pump from it.

there are also coins like DGB which have been around forever and have no long term potential. these coins are pumped big every 2 years and dump the next day and remain dump for another 2 years!

Theta and Mana seem to disagree with your opinion, but for the three coins on the list there, they have great potential for price increases in 2020
I'm waiting for BNB to reach a new ATH in 2020 and for the other two coins that i disagree, i prefer ETH and XLM to replace the two coins

There is some truth in your words.
Those coins, most of which are held by the team, have quite good potential in order to grow in price in the case of a pump.
It will be more accurate to say that they have more chances for stronger growth than the rest.
However, to determine such coins it’s not enough to look at the charts, you need to look at the number of coins on the wallets and ask developers in the chat.

I will choose Binance Coin from your list. Binance Coin is the coin of the largest exchange in the world Binance, this is a coin with the potential to thrive in the future.

Very cool selection of coins, I like your analysis but I'm holding just two, BNB and ADA. I really think BNB is still undervalued considering the mind-blowing development updates by CZ and his team. Binance keeps improving with time and coins in circulation will keep reducing after every quarterly buyback and burn. Nobody knows the future of crypto, so we just hope the outcome of holding  is positive.

I am interested to knowing more your recommendations.This will help me when buying coins for long-term investment. Would you like to share with me?
From my perspective, Cardano is a good choice from several categories. I hope Cardano will make a big leap next year.

Almost all coins from the list can give a good profit. It all depends on the entry point that the author has chosen.
I mean the global trend of altcoins which one way or another shows growth after a powerful recession every year.
This happens cyclically, and already 2 cycles have passed. All projects from the list deserve attention to one degree or another.

theta is okay and so is bnb for now but ada and digi should be tagged as shitcoin like I said before in this thread. Bitcoin is struggling to maintain its head above the 8000 levels and that is maybe good for altcoins in the short run. Everytime btc falls people go bull on altcoin. And the reverse is also true.
But this does not stay the case for long term because not like Bitcoin, any altcoin is not able to retain value for long term. Most altcoins just lose value like a leaking balloon losing air when Bitcoin is struggling.

The problem with MANA is that it can be easily duplicated and right now, practically nobody plays it since almost all the best parcels of land are gone. If latecomers don't have an opportunity to get prime digital real estate without being absolutely robbed blind, it will never take off.

I think that the concept is definitely alluring, but I don't think Decentraland will be the one that succeeds with it, rather a successor will probably come along and scoop up all the people waiting for a game like Decentraland-without the caveats.

Good shout on Theta though.

I agree about the entry point. Sometimes the profit that you can get for a specific project depends on your entry and exit points. No matter what, you can never tell the future of the coin so it is only a matter of those points how you can maximize your profit. However, on my end, it is better to have small profit rather than having negative return. So don't be too greedy, if your instincts is saying to let go of that coin, follow it and never look back.

For me personally, Binance is already a giant in Cryptocurrency. I just don't know about the other coins, but having ADA on he list is then the second from Binance to be the top coins that is going to have a big lift in coming years.

This is a great list, buddy. Thanks for this info. BNB is the most interesting coin from this list for me. Binance is constantly working on improving its platform and their coin is only getting better. THETA will be the goal of my observation after reading this topic.

This present bad market condition will be over soon and i am sure many coins will die before its finally over, all coins on your list are good especially binance token, they will bring good return of investment for sure, bnb token is more than just a sleeping dragon

Honestly I also think ADA is being overhyped all this while, some saying it's Ethereum killer but yet I'm still waiting to see the reason for that statement. I'm a big holder of DGB and BNB, although I'm not expecting price movement so soon. I'm holding because I believe in the projects hoping it's makes me smile in the future. You mentioned ICX, what's really happening with that project. I think ICON developers need to step up their game, although they've been doing averagely well.

I doubt that the ADA is sleeping. Cardano might be not as popular as it used to be, but there are still many changes for the better there. Crypto enthusiasts believe that it can reach 10 cents for 1 token this year. They are sure that it will overtake Ethereum by market capitalization due to its speed and cheap transactions. As for Binance Coin, it might not grow – just stay a convenient tool for the Binance platform.

Those coins you mention ill think are worth to buy and holding for a long time, But i rather to choose BNB because this will have some history and a good value in the market. Maybe this will be a time for now to buy some BNB and holding it for a long time. Ill enough from BNB in a long time so that's why i choose BNB as my favorite coin right now.

I think BNB is not good to hold although for long time, look how higher price BNB last month raised to $40 and now BNB only $18, did  you agree not top altcoin are safe for your investment, just buy or sell your coin after get profit without hold for long time.

If you think its not the best to hold BNB for so long well we have different idea about that. And yes we saw rise the price of $40 last month but now it drop to $18 so who do you think to sell a BNB on that price maybe more buyer try to buy some BNB on this situation for now. And well in this year we cant feel a bull run so thats why some of coins even do BNB drop the price.

If bull run comes all of those coins/altcoins would definitely increase exponentially in terms of price and volume. But what i mostly like is BNB, i think binance CEO will definitely market his own coin until it become the top 1 most use and accepted cryptocurrency in the world.

These coins are really interesting and are waiting in the wings to show their liquidity, I would even invest more in Cardano, as it now has a good price to buy compared to binance coin.

If you look at the short term you will find comfortable with the BNB but there is a huge chance for BNB to increase its price in the long term. From the beginning, after their crude-oil, they are following the roadmap in the right way and it has a higher chance to increase if the market touches the bull market.

BNB and Cardano are both solid picks in my opinion. Not really sleeping giants as they are both well-established, but they certainly have a lot of room to increase in price. If I had to go with one of those, it would probably be Cardano - whilst it is heavily-hyped (which usually means over-priced and something to stay away from), it does have undeniable potential. Can some of that potential be realised in 2020? Not sure, but given that buying into any alt is a gamble, this is likely a much better gamble than most.

DGB and THETA are not gems anymore. But BNB is already a great coin and this year was a golden period for the BNB and its platform. You can call ADA is a sleeping giant! Its price is very stable which is not a good sign though. Investors need profit, but ADA failed to give it this year. I believe, Anytime Cardano price will start growing incredibly and it can happen in 2020!

I might now only focus on BNB. in a bad market condition, I see BNB movement in the market is almost the same as bitcoin movement. even if there is good news and updates from their platform, it could make BNB prices pump even though the market is not in good condition. as happened earlier this year, we can see the BNB pump is happening. after the adoption of the blockchain they increase and make trade increase.

i can agree with you about ADA only
and add to your list ZEC - since its really sleeping one
but ZEC may keep sleeping for few more years
ADA is going to wake up sooner

I agree with everyone's point that BNB and ADA aren't technically "sleeping Giants" in the sense that those with knowledge of the market likely have an awareness of their value and marketcap, etc. Binance Coin is practically a household name within the industry at this point. It's "sleeping" in the sense that I think it will pump next year as Binance burns more and more BNB and supply becomes more limited. With ADA, although its  top 10 marketcap, I know of various "insiders" who either completely overlook ADA or have no idea how transformational and well-built the network is actually becoming. Maybe they've heard of "Shelly," but few people are aware of the activity going on behind the scenes. Cardono's relative cost per developer is tiny compared to most altcoins, even the smaller cap ones. We also need to remember that at present time the vast majority of the public has likely never heard of Cardono. To them, she's a sleeping giant in the sense that in 2020 Cardono will be as well-known as ETH and BTC amongst the masses.

I agree 100% w/your BNB analysis. I wasn't placing them in any hierarchical order per se, just listing the top 5 IMO. With respect to THETA, we can agree to disagree. THETA is brilliant b/c it targets the perfect demographic for what might become the first widely adopted use case scenario for a virtual gaming currency. Don't sleep on THETA.

Good point - I should have defined what I mean by "sleeping giant." I'll assume we all know what a "giant" means both colloquially and as a term of art. Let's focus on "sleeping," and I think you're right to question my underlying rationale for thinking these coins are sleeping giants. Here, I use the term "sleeping" as something that is either a) undervalued, b) overlooked, or c) likely to provide the right technology to the right people at right time. If price alone or even marketcap were all that mattered, THETA, DGB and MANA should not be on the list.The "sleeping" aspect of ADA is its technology and sophistication. For THETA, "sleeping" is based on the target audience and technology. For DGB, "sleeping" hits both a) and b), and seems imminently likely to hit c).

Also, just as a disclaimer, I'm not HODLing any DGB or MANA at present. The other Three equal 15% of my portfolio, and I'll likely HODL and accumulate more and more overtime.

   3/5 for me from this list. I have ADA, I have DGB, and I have BNB from January this year. About Theta and Mana I don`t know anything,
this is the first time I hear about this projects.
   DGB and ADA are old crypto-currencies! Very cheap at the moment, but I believe their price will rise cause they good projects. About
BNB we don`t need to talk too much, they are doing amazing thing for crypto-community and it`s good to have some for the future.

The projects you chose are not bad, but personally I prefer to invest only on new projects post 2018, and all lowcap.

It is a riskier but speculators like novelty because there is no price history so anything is possible.

No need to waste time convincing these guys. The problem with them are all the same. They see price and nothing more.

None of them ever use crypto, own their own wallets, or whatever. They have accounts on exchanges, and see no difference between btc and BNB except in the price potential.

BNB does win in a use case scenario though. Most alts are hypothetical.

Yeah,,, same here. They are not sleeping, and they are very very much in the spotlight almost every day I can see. Which means either they have a lot of money to push out their paid marketing, or they really are very popular and people do feel a lot of emotions when investing with them. Cardano especially has big supporters, BNB I always feel is just Binance users who of course want their exchange to grow.

Not sure which shit coin will win in the end and the market usually gets funds for any projects in the past and the future of these projects will be known only if they are able to survive the next ten years.

I am not sure how you evaluate a pre mined coin where Binace hold majority of the coins they created to have a higher valuation than it is now ::).
They claim that they are burning millions worth of BNB coin according to the white paper but it is not clear how they are compensated whenever they burn the coins, so it is all gimmicks and still confused how you can even compare it to Apple ::).

My altcoins list of 5 sleeping giants of 2020 are Binance coins (BNB), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX) and Waves.
Of all the altcoins my choice is big coins that have great potential to rise in 2020, the Coins around 2017 the average price is
fantastic. But this year has experienced a very drastic price reduction, therefore I call sleeping giants. Because the coins are
still sleeping now, therefore the price is still cheap. But I'm sure those coins have a good future, and also the price will go up.
We'll see developments these coins.

can you give me some reasonable reason about ZEC ?
because in my predictions we will see the bull in 2020 and you said ZEC  may keep sleeping for few more years buddy
i think its better to choose IOTA over SEC
thank you

I can't give my own specific picks but I will just list the use case of my five picks.

1. DAG-based coin
2. Faster and more efficient smart contract platform
3. Any coin that involves logistics
4. Any coin that involves real estate
5. A coin that aims to be a universal in-game currency
