Best Altcoin to invest in for 2016 and WHY

[Monkey D. Luffy]

For me the best alt coins for 2016 is LISK and CLAM, because those coins still cheap now, and looks stable for long term

[Mr. Sovereign]

Wild Beast Block (WBB) for sure.

State of the art OS coming with loads of features including dapp creation and store, fast and soon to be decentralized multi-currency exchange (1extrade), always synced wallets, options to make transactions public or private, and much much more. 

No premine, No ICO, self funded pro team delivering tangible real world solutions for business and private use.

Unorthodox name, game changing technology.

The best coin to invest in right now is Lisk.

In second place I think would be Ethereum.

I agree. Lisk and Ethereum have been getting the lime light lately. But with Ethereum, I think they have been getting negative press because of the security flaws in the DAO. According to coindesk.com, it will take months before they can fully fix them.

Maybe Waves will also attract investors as soon as the listing starts on June 14.  It is built on the Scorex platform which is Hoskinson's project. So it should be good.

Still Choose some popular coin, Ethereum, but maybe not for long term

[JakeThePanda]

Breakout Coin will be the the best coin in 2016.

Sick gaming platform already completed.

Oh, and Johnny F-ing Chan.

I think the Ethereum is for the long term. It is being developed very actively. It will last very very  long.

NXT is about to explode soon and get back the position it lost a year ago.

[Spoetnik]

Think for yourself.

Making endless "What coin should i buy" topics is blatantly stupid.

If you need to be told what to buy with your FIAT cash money dollars $$$

..then your fucked .

YOU ARE ALREADY BROKE (and just don't know it yet)

..denial is a bitch LOL

- Seriously people get smart jeez

Yes i feel it will, and check out NEM too, very stable and solid devs with great plans and delivering alot.

I would pick Gridcoin (GRC), as it is one of the more interesting coins out there. It's idea is brilliant but also easy to understand for people not in crypto before, see for example this thread that was on the frontpage of reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/4b4drk/a_currency_minted_by_doing_science/t1_d16hch5

Gridcoin (GRC) replaces mining with doing research for scientific projects, for example to cure Ebola (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/oet1/overview.do), fold proteins (https://boinc.bakerlab.org/) or find aliens (http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/).

From a user's point of view, he simply has to run simulations from the different projects using the BOINC software (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/). Then the network comes to a consensus, who has contributed how much computing power to BOINC, which can bee seen for example here (http://www.gridresearchcorp.com/gridcoin/?result&t=CPID_Leaderboard). This process is decentralized among all nodes, there is no central server issuing all coins like it is for example the case with Curecoin. In some blocks this consenus is saved in the blockchain and the reward one gets when staking a block is proportional to how much research was recently done for BOINC by this researcher.

Setting it all up has been quite complicated in the past, but the pool on pool.gridcoin.co has made alle this easier and already has more than 800 active miners/researchers (http://pool.gridcoin.co/rankings)

I also has very active development, here is the main forum: https://cryptocointalk.com/forum/464-gridcoin-grc/
More information and tutorial to set it up here: www.gridcoin.us

As o now i am choosing trusted altcoins right now many shitcoins are releasing week by week.. even well know altcoin is not trusted like dao or ethereum.. becareful choosing altcoins right now its very hard to trust the promises of the altcoin..

For me the best to invest altcoin Is CBX because they are old and they are still alive.. the price right now is decrease due to heavy dumpers now a days because of they are starting a wrong move signature campaign turn into worst.. but i think cbx will be rise again.. because  developers are very trusted..

[Xiestar]

The best coin to invest was Ethereum a few weeks ago. But after the DAO  fiasco, I am not too sure any more.

[Tmdz]

I think Shift is a under-rated coin at present but they have a solid team and lots of development. 

They basically are moving forward to create a system of decentralized web hosting and in the future that could become really big.  Think about how many web site owners would want to take advantage of this once it becomes proven.  The concept already exist with zeronet but that project is plagued with slow connections and latency issues which is something a coin network could easily solve.  So instead of all these home users with shitty connections that don't support the network effectively we will have people running nodes and such on dedicated servers to support that system.  Once the hybrid pow/pos stage is met then it becomes logical for a bag owner to rent a 100 mbit box for 25 buck a month to run the software, collect the pos rewards to pay for that hosting and give fast reliable connections to the network.

I will stick with NXT and XRP for now.

I heard the Lisk use similar technology as the Ethereum, the main difference is the programming language.
