The one i know of, and am holding is Darcrus. It is built on waves platform. I recommend checking it out, it is a very nice coin, that is still a good investment.

Some very nice movements on Darcrus!!! Gained like 50% in the past days.

For quite some more time in my opinion. After all, many projects that are out there, don't even have their "thing" (platform, exchange, whatever they are building) finished, so it should rise after the release of a specific project (the price and recognition).
So i think it is going to become more and more popular and mainstream.

LBC is a very nice coin indeed! Quite unique, and it actually has legit product in beta right now, you can access it as we speak, you just need at least one LBC and you are in the platform. It is basically a platform for sharing videos, photos, books and you set the price for the download. The price will also probably rise after the release is not beta anymore and it goes public.

I think the one to replace Bitcoin is going to be Etherium. Other coins are also good, but it is just the second highest in marketcap. I would go for Etherium, unless i would need anonimity. Then maybe Monero.

Any news when will i be able to purchase some EON from an exchange? Preferably Bittrex.

I believe it will give ICOers profit. The price was 0.0002 per EON, but since all coins were not sold, some from the remainding has been given to people investing in ICO, so the price was actually smaller than 0.0002. So i think the price around 0.0002 really is achievable at an exchange (hopefully Bittrex).

Hahaha agreed. All coins listed on YoBit are doomed   I hope it will be listed on Bittrex soon though. Also congrats on surpassing the 2000 Bitcoin mark! Looking forward to beta - testnet.

The price is still nice for investment indeed. I think everything under let's say, 15k is a nice price. I am a bagholder for this coin, but i haven't invested in Mercury.

Damn, it really sold out so fast! Imagine if they would have advertised here, on Bitcointalk, they could demand a much higher price and release even more coins at the ICO.

BAT looks awsome, but i don't like the fact they do not have a thread here, on bitcointalk.  :(I am also watching for ICO i am promoting in my signature, EXSCUDO, which is actually ending in a day. Definitely check that out.

Stratis is basically a platform like Etherium. It is on c# coding language so it is native to Microsoft products - that's why we might see some nice deals here.
Because it is "like" Etherium, i also expect at least 1 billion market cap, which is x2 of the current one. It is just a good coin that is having some nice development. Same thing could happen with Lisk.
I would say it will go to about $10 for sure.

About time. I see no reason other than more mainstream people knowing Bitcoin, that Etherium shouldn't surpass Bitcoin. It is better and has more functions than Bitcoin. Based on that, i think the price will continue to grow and market cap overcome Bitcoins.

It might be because c# is native to Microsoft, so they are able to make some nice deals in this direction, c#, .net.  This and perhaps the reason Stratis is more "known" among investors. Overall i think Lisk will also jump some day.

Yes, the devs about to run out of money so they are dumping the coins they have (soon). But it shouldn't affect the price if the coin proves itself to be really good in the community e.g. if people start using the LBRY platform.

I picked Iconomi because it is quite a unique coin. The team is basically building an asset manegment platform, where you invest in a fund. The ICNX is like a fund, consisting of multiple coins. The whole fund includes coins, which have good potential, so it is expected to rise. Then when this ICNX fund gains profit (coins invested in have rised) you also gain profit. And as far as i see it, Iconomi (ICN) serves as a gateway to ICNX assets manegment platform.

The platform is currently in beta and will be released this year. Hence the expected increase in price.

Yeah, the drop was quite hard, i think it was due to panic and hence panic selling by many people. Now the prices of almost all coins have "bounced" back up, and i think this is just a "return to mean" price. So overall, it was a drop but the price is still higher than the price let's say, about a week ago?

Based on that i think the general trend is rising upwards with some slight bubble pops on the way.

I would say Stratis, Iconomi and Darcrus.
Stratis - platform like Etherium, price is rising. They are based on C#, so it is native for Microsoft - might make some nice deals with them.
Iconomi - unique coin, regarding assets. They are about to release their platform.
Darcrus - also unique function. It actually serves like a stock based on company "sigwo". Based on the company's profit, coins get burned and thus increase in value.

First of all, i would choose to diversify the investment into more coins, but if you would like to invest in one, it is ok too.

In one coin out of the two you said, choose Bitcoin. BUT i would choose neither and go for Etherium, i just think this is where the future is. Bitcoin network is quite laggy and it serves only purpose as a payment whereas Etherium has more features.

If you decided to diversify, also check out Stratis, Iconomi, Lisk and other promising coins.

Hey, don't settle on mining just one coin, mine the one that is the most profitable for your specifications at the specific moment. To check that, use a website like : http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency
where you can see how much profit/loss you make mining a coin with the power you can provide. Good luck
