I think 2018 could be the year for Ethereum. Following Bitcoin, the coin can be considered as the next promisable investment. Having a market capital of $39 billion, the coin shows huge amount of potential. Also, it has one of the best development teams behind it. Since its origin in 2016, the coin has grown over by 1100% and still continues to show upside growth in the market. Also, its blockchain is the best network to support any business or program. Being accepted by companies like Microsoft, Jp morgan shows that the coin is a strong crypto.

I am interested in bitcoin as:
It allows me to make transactions throughout the world. Also, as the transactions are pseudoanonymous, they are secure. The transactions require a short period of time as well.
Bitcoin is decentralised. It makes the coin independent and not bound to any rules and regulations.This makes the coin more flexible in its actions.
The volatile nature of the coin makes it a good investment asset and allows me to earn good profits in a short period of time.

I would prefer Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin has seen a dip many times but has risen with much more capita. Volatility is a part of the coin which makes it a good investment asset and helps in earning good profit amount.
Ethereum is widely and much more accepted in the market than Bitcoin and hence has a lot of potential. Being the second most popular crypto, the coin provides smart ledger contracts which can hold state and arbitary code. Also with a market capital of $37 billion, the coin holds strong in the market.

Some of the weakness of the coin are:
Blockchain of 10 minutes. Due to this transactions take more time. Other coins like litecoin have a blockchain of 2.5 times making their speed 4 times more than the crypto.
Fees of the transactions are high.
Volatility of the coin stops it from being a mainstream currency.
The coin is not accepted throughout the world and is illegal in some countries.

The top 5 coins to invest would be: Bitcoin, Monero and Ethereum.
Bitcoin being the pioneer of all the cryptos, still holds the most potential in the market. Also, it is too big for its bubble to burst open. The coin is being widely accepted and its lightning network is giving a new way in the financial system.
Monero is the best coin for secure transactions as it provides complete anonymity. Transactions can only be made by sharing the wallet address. Hence, the information of the sender and receiver is kept private.
Ethereum, with its market capital of $37 billion has one of the strongest development teams behind it. Also, the coin provides a good platform for posting new ICOs. Hence the coin has a lot of potential and you can expect a good amount of worth from it.

The coins which will be making a difference in the coming years are Monero and Ethereum.
Monero with its development team, keeps on upgrading its privacy system. Hence, it will be one of the safest platform in the future to make money transactions. At present, companies like Microsoft use the coin for making its transactions.
Ethereum with its ledger contracts that can hold state and arbitary code has introduced a new commercial idea in the market, exploitation of which can open new areas in the market. Also the coin provides a good platform for posting new ICOs.

Monero can be considered as the best privacy coin right now as it provides complete anonymity in its transactions. The information of the sender and reciever is kept private. Also, through its ring singnature, Monero's transactions are untraceable and can only be made by sharing the wallet address. One of its major aspects is its world class research which ensures that all privacy angles are discovered and addressed. The Monero Research Lab is a team of voluntary researchers, scientists and academics. The majority of their findings are implemented into the Monero codebase making it one of the most secure coins.

I believe the major advantage of the crypto is its decentralised nature. It makes the coin not bound to any rules ans regulations. Another advantage of the coin is that it can be used to make international installments which uncovers new potential commercial centres in the market. Also, bitcoin provides pseudoanonymity in its transactions which makes the transactions much more secure.
The major disadvantage of the coin is its limited supply of 21 million. Another disadvantage can be the coin's volatility which prevents it from being a mainstream currency.

Some altcoins like Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero do have a chance against bitcoin.
Ethereum is much more widely accepted than bitcoin and it also acts as a token for smart applications which bitcoin does not.
Litecoin, with its blockchain of 2.5 minutes provides speedy transactions upto 4 times than bitcoin. Also it is present much more in no. rather than bitcoin's limited 21 million.
Monero provides complete anonymity in its transactions rather than pseudoanonymous nature of bitcoin. Hence the transactions are much more secure.
Hence, these coins do have the potential to compete against the crypto.

The best coins in the market at the moment are Ethereum, Litecoin and Monero.
Ethereum at present holds the position of the second most popular crypto after bitcoin. With a market capital of $44 billion, the coin shows much more potential for the future. Ethereum also provides an exponential scaling of blockchain and is backed by a secure cryptography which makes its transactions private.
Litecoin makes transactions much more speedy due to its blockchain of 2.5 minutes which is four times the blockchain of bitcoin.
Monero provides complete anonymity in its transactions. The informa of the sender and receiver is kept private. The coin has much potential and you can expect good amount of gains from the coin.

Seeing by the statistics, Ethereum has seen a drop in its prices in the last month. So, according to me, as ETH is as its low at the moment, it is a good time to invest in it.

Volatility has been a part of the coin and by holding the coin we can make huge amount of profit from it. Also the coin provides a good platform for posting new ICOs. Its idea of smart ledger contracts is also quite revolutionary. It is also secure for making transactions. The coin is also quite liquid and flexible in the market and is more widely accepted.

Volatility plays an important role for the cryptocurrencies. Though it is risky, yet investment in the crypto can lead to huge amount of profits that too in a short period of time. So, it would be advisable to hold onto your bitcoins rather than selling them in a time of panic. Also you can buy the coin when it is at its lowest and then be patient and hold the coin. It can lead to great gains. Similar is the case with Ethereum. Ethereum has shown a profit of 3700% in the past year and still shows much more potential.

Ethereum can be counted as the best crypto to invest in 2018. Not only it performs as the best platform to post new ICOs, the coin's idea of ledger contracts can hold state and arbitary code. This makes the coin have much more potential. Ethereum also provides an exponential scaling of blockchain and provides a secure cryptography in its transactions. The coin currently has a market capital of $51 billion and its price can be further increased by 3 times in the future. Hence you can expect good gains from the coin.

If you consider bitcoin for a mainstream currency, then yes, its volatility can be considered as a bad thing as for a currency to be accepted and used as mainstream, it has to be highly stable in its nature because if not so it will disturb the whole mechanism and working of the economy. Volatility shows a lack of strength of the market. On the other hand, if you consider it as an investment, then bitcoin's volatility is a good thing as though risky, it increases the chances of gaining huge profits in a short period of time. Also its volatility factor has attracted more and more people towards the coin leading to more and more of its acceptance.

The cryptocurrencies have introduced a new financial system in the economy. As of now, Bitcoin is the most liquid & widely accepted crypto currency in the world and has the potential to become a mainstream currency further. The coins have made transactions so much easier and straightforward throughout the world and not only they are anonymous, each and every transaction is saved by a secure cryptography. These have made trade also easy. Also, the cryptos concepts of smart ledger system and New ICOs have led them to take a step further in the economy.

By far the best altcoin that I have invested in is Ethereum. The coin has provided with hugh profit gains in the past. Last year its profit precentage was 3700% and with a market capital of $51 billion, the coin still grows strong in the market. I know that the altcoin will be a success by following its statistics in the past and also whether the coin is getting mainstream acceptance or not. Also, I look for the new features that make the alt much better than the other coins and whether its commercial in the market or not.

1. With blockchain of 10 minutes, Bitcoin has made transactions easier and much more speedier than before.
2. The coin is heading forwards as a mainstream currency. Also the coin's decentralised nature makes it not bound to any rules and regulations.
3. Bitcoins are limited in number that is only 21 million which makes them much more valuable as an asset and hence a profitable investment.

Bitcoins have introduced a new revolutionary system in the economy by making the financial system much more accessible in the world. Not only bitcoin can now be used just for investment as an asset, but is also very helpful for making transactions across the world. It provides pseudoanonymity in its transactions by securing them in a public ledger system. Also with its blockchain of 10 minutes, the transactions can be made within minutes and that too with minimal transaction fees. Bitcoin is now also a medium of providing new jobs through its campaigns. Hence, the coin is very important for the future.

The best altcoins which you can consider for 2018 are Ethereum, Monero and Litecoin.
After bitcoin, Ethereum is the second most popular crypto in the market at the moment. As one of the best coin for posting new ICOs, the coin has a lot of potential. Also, the coin has a market capital of $51 billion. The coins ledger system for new contracts is also a good commercial idea.
Monero's quiet, stable nature makes it an excellent coin to invest in. The coin also provides complete anonymity in its transactions and hence is good for making transactions.
Litecoin with its blockchain of 2.5 minutes, is a very good coin for making transactions. Also the coin has proved to be one of the best altcoins in the past. Hence, you can consider it to invest your money into.

You can consider Monero if you are thinking of converting to another crypto. Seeing the prospects, the coin has a very bright future. Monero’s quiet, stable, spendable nature makes it an excellent coin to invest in. Also, the coin provides complete anonymity in its transactions as instead of the public ledger system, it assigns one time adressess for each transaction. The information of the sender and reciever is kept private. Hence, the coin has a potential to yield huge amount of profit levels.
