and more SDC,   if Zero-knowledge gets implemented.  I think it will be the best solution for anon in all of crypto.

BitSharesX is just getting started. BitAssets are released into the wild and the market peg has proven itself to work. I think we will see BTSX at $0.10 or higher by the end of the year.

We are only at the second floor of the skyscraper with BTSX!

topic should be renamed as: make free marketing about the coin you are envolved/holding.


I don't think we have good pumps around, even for BTC and LTC.

Maybe stellar, it sounds like a nice pump and dump.

Or just a dump, who knows.

anything you buy now and hold til december has a high chance of possibly not existing when you go to cash it out... the only thing you can fire and forget for a few months is BTC. and who knows if it will go nuts again leading up to the end of year again.

20% Nxt (not sure, but can grow)

I agree that all these threads "what coin to invest in?'' has been trolled by holders the coins they suggest.
IMO it's better not to ask people on the thread but read diff coins threads there investors leave their opinion

Why is it so odd that someone would recommend a coin that they hold? And why would you oppose that?

Because it's true. Checked by myself - every time you ask ''what coin to invest in'' people tell you what they want you to invest in.No doubt there are someones who can give you a really good advice but the percent of them is small.

I'm a fan of SDC, seems the market is in for private centric coins so I guess diversify between those. Darkcoin is also a good bet. Nittycoin has been making good market movement, and stellar... Well is just stellar too.

30% Bitcoin
30% BitSharesX
20% BitShares PTS (give you shares on coming BitShares DAC's like BitShares Music)
20% Nxt (not sure, but can grow)

Rare that you find someone post useful advice in this section!  The above portfolio is quite solid.  BitShares is difficult for people to understand so here are some links to get people thinking about its future.


ELI5 threads (Explain like I'm 5)
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8027.0

Start here to read the background on DPOS algorithm:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS

Continue here to read about the security and simplicity of sending to names instead of addresses:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/TITAN

Listen to this episode from a few weeks back:
Let's talk Bitcoin! episode 129.  Starts around 12 minute mark with the lead dev Dan.  Great listen.
http://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/lets-talk-bitcoin-129-dogeparty-and-delegated-proof-of-stake

Which leads to the asset exchange:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Bitshares_X

BitUSD market peg has been working
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8358.0

Finally finish up with this to really get you thinking about where bitcoin ideology will go:
http://bitshares.org/overstock-to-cryptostock/


With all the above were just scratching the surface of possibilities.

Make a list of altcoins that have active supporters , there delete the names of the ones that have been posted by shills and bag holders in this thread , do some research about the ones that are left and then

BUY BITCOINS

I actually can't understand why everyone is just looking for a quick investment.
Generally a longterm investment can afford a much higher profit distribution. Just keep that in mind when you are looking for an investment.

My best recommendation is NEM.

Certainly the value of NEM will also gain in early days after distribution.
But as longterm-investment you may earn 20-50 times of that what you've invested in early days.

I hadn't a clue people invested in any other coin aside BTC but I do know that I wish I hadn't sold my BTC Christmas 2012  :o Perhaps that is a warning not to sell any coin in haste!

Because they are holding bags , err wallets full of those coins. Nothing more.
People have seen this thread as a way to promote their clones in the hope of another satoshi price raise.

This is good advice. I think bitcoin has the highest chance of seeing a decent return on investment. Hopefully we'll get a nice price rise in the last couple of months of this year like we did last. Hoping for some big news to cause it.

I've got a question - so you thinks that long term investment will be in 20-50 times more profitable ?
In some cases you are right, but do you remember about discount factor? that's why while comparing the profits from investing in projects with different periods of implementation you should remember about discount factor and about hte possibility to reinvest you funds. In this case I'd recommend to use EAA formula

I think you would waste a lot of time by determining shill accounts from normal ones. Quite agree with spending time on researching in the threads that you find interesting. I think there are different points of view which coin are interesting and which are not: for some people, coin is interesting only if it has a high volume and no matter the mission of the coin, for others - it's mush more important to know the future vision of the developers about their coin and crypto currency developments in general
