Here's my short list, in order of market cap, not personal preference, that I could recommend as the basis for a "diversified" crypto portfolio:
LTC ETC XLM STEEM BTS NXT DGB
Everyone's own percentage allocations will depend on all the traditional factors such as suitability, individual risk tolerance, etc., but I'm looking for a minimum of 100x return over the years just by buying and holding these 7 picks.
The time is now, and the place is here.

I think it is very likely that we're in the stage of a bull market where everyone knows that there is nowhere to go but up, and that's where the meat of long term gains come from. https://i.imgur.com/KpH7LQj.pngTotal market cap (BTC included) needs to grow by more than 10 times just to be equal to Apple market cap. Seen in those relative terms, it's not hard to imagine that happening rather quickly. Crypto mass adoption has only just started and I think we're going to continue to see BIG BIG money moving into the entire complex, and that means prices are going to go up. Supply and demand. Now, to identify the long term winners.

FOMO is starting to kick in. Buying/selling on Polo is starting to skip Satoshis. Price went from 167 straight to 170. I've been in from day 1 and I can't remember it getting this high since the initial fall from several hundred Satoshi post-exchange listing We have a new target on the 15 minute chart of 204 SAT. I wouldn't be surprised with 300+ in the next few hours though. It's all the same to me though since I won't be selling until we get to .001 BTC . . . which could be the first week of July. This is a major ball bustin' bull market!

So, if there is only a little more than 3 times the available supply of LTC to BTC, and only 4x ever planned, and with LTC being the superior coin in security, transaction speed, scalablity, with an equally strong multi-year track record, etc., etc., why isn't LTC trading for at least $400.00?
For me there will come a time for that, Its just that, the LTC more likely just became the shadow of BTC, like saying its the silver on bitcoins gold. Then ethereum comes to the picture that's offering a entirely new one. Its the reason that I am seeing why LTC really cant take off, because there is already the ethereum option. For instance, if btc in the near future will still have scalability issues, the option is to go to LTC or ETH, which most likely at this time, people will choose the latter, as popularity also affecting that. But in case there will be new developments on LTC, like the lightning network now, the price is most likely to rise, because as for its features, it is really undervalued. I'm thinking along the lines of 1st tier and 2nd tier 1st generation and 2nd generation crypto, with LTC being the #2 1st tier 1st generation coin and ETC being somewhere in the 2nd generation category, but, what with 60 million dollar hacks, I wouldn't venture a guess as to where it will end up (I'm with those who say ETC will outlive ETH ). This is a niche game now, and #2 1st generation focused on safety and usability has a very definite and respectable place that should have its corresponding valuation, which I think we're going to see much sooner than anyone expects. Can anyone imagine this kind of comic tragedy with LTC? http://fortune.com/2016/09/04/ethereum-fall-out/

Thanks for posting that! It's a very nice executive summary. BTW, STEEM is another great long term prospect. It's one of the current market darlings and you can get an idea why from that post. I bought some of over the weekend. 5% of my total crypto position.

Is the block explorer https://digiexplorer.info/ having problems? Lots of strange errors like these for addresses which definitely have transactions and balances: Total Received 0 DGB Total Sent 0 DGB Final Balance 0 DGB No. Transactions 0 There are no transactions involving this address. Some transactions have invalid inputs: value error Unparsed address value error Unparsed address [1] Strange invalid addresses on coin generation transactions: No Inputs (Newly Generated Coins) (OP_RETURN) ª!©íâö?qÑÞý?©™ß£iSu\i‰y™b´‹ëØ6—NŒù (OP_RETURN) ª!©íâö?qÑÞý?©™ß£iSu\i‰y™b´‹ëØ6—NŒù In cryptoID they show up as "nulldata" https://chainz.cryptoid.info/dgb/address.dws?nulldata.htmShowing on over 40% of all blocks.

Do you think digibyte would be getting pumped like this if it wasn't on Poloniex? People need to grow up and accept the fact Poloniex is the only exchange worth being on.
Which also makes Polo a juicy and sweet little target for hackers and what not, due to their liquidity and size. Reason enough for me to trade as little to preferably none on Polo... In my opinion, you've got to treat every exchange like the next Cryptsy or Mt Gox, always . . . until there is regulatory oversight, this will continue being the wild, wild west. With $2,000 daily withdrawal limits, I can only marvel at the risk the so called "whales" run.

... don't blindly follow the advice (or "fake news" lol) of posters here without investigating it yourself. If the only source you can find is an anonymous poster on bitcointalk, that should also tell you something.
One of the main reasons for thorough documentation, starting with release notes, for example. And I think that's a dev job.

Also,why dont we have news from this team about this coin?We need to know what the plans are pls.
I think bitcointalk is not the place where all the newest updates are provided. Part from the official roadmap: "DigiBot The DigiByte Official Telegram chat has grown rapidly and has now effectively replaced the BitcoinTalk thread as the main community hub. Thanks to the hard work of Alaniz the Digibot has gone along way to help enhance the experience of the chat. Make sure to check out the Telegram chat and use the DigiBot." Yes, the majority of discussion and quick updates are on Telegram. We have around 1100 people in the official group chat there. We also have a separate developer and marketing channel. https://telegram.me/DigiByteCoinI guess the question is: what does it cost you to have someone drop by here with the news? Nothing? A couple of minutes? With 1100 members and a little delegation, that would be about one day every three years for each member. That would be a horrendous sacrifice! And it's cut and paste to begin with . . . that is if you have good PR organization.

I successfully bootstrapped my Digibyte client, closed it. Opened it. Closed it. Then all of a sudden the third time opening it, it needs to re-index again? Wtf. I did that the first time, it was good two times and now its on again.
Instamined, are you using a digibyte.conf file?

THE CRYPTOCURRENCY REVOLUTION NO ONE’S TALKING ABOUTBitcoin rose, fell, and bounced back on the promise of practical use. Its world-liberating technology, initially a plaything for nerds, proved its mettle with viability for business, especially for international transfers. The rocket that took cryptocurrency’s favorite coin #ToTheMoon was engineered by the hundreds, if not thousands, of entrepreneurs willing to leverage its amazing tech for the good of humankind. Now, something interesting is going on, virtually unnoticed: businesses are flipping. The great “Flippening,” or market share filtering from Bitcoin to Ethereum and other top coins, has received a certain deal of publicity. The more important trend, however, that of a “Business Flippening” over to Dash, is coming along much more stealthily. https://www.dashforcenews.com/cryptocurrency-revolution-no-ones-talking/ We'll see.
