Best Altcoin to invest in for 2016 and WHY

[enhu]

Check out Iconomi will launch this year and will have a full platform in 2017.
Has solid plan with passionate team.
They are active and care a lot about any feed back from all sorts of mind sets, they are very open to ideas  and you might have something good and constructive to suggest maybe they take your advice if it's good for the project.

I believe so. I use to look up for antshares to be a good one to invest these days as well but they seem to be not so organize compare to ICN.
I do hope they can finally fix things up. a Lot of investors have so much trust to these Chinese dev to they better make it good as well.

In terms of gain over 2016 - I'm still doing best in XMG, I've increased my trading capital by a factor of 5 or 6. I've also done pretty well out of holiding XMR, looks like anything starting with XM is good for me right now. =)

I also agree about that, because when we hold XMR, the price is always increasing and it is very profitable for trading. I think that this year will be a coin XMR very good to be invested, because most likely the price will increase, but I am not sure that it will survive in 2017, because it will be a lot of new coins that appear and can be complicated exceed XMR

there are a lot of lies going around  about SDC please do your own research.
Yes we had a bug and it was fixed promptly but transactions were still protected by shadowcash’s stealth addresses
I have been with project for 2 years and personally donated to them i would not do so if i did not trust them.

the lead developer Rhyno even revealed his identity in full

https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/shadowcoin-lead-developer-rynomster-shadows/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUuk3W4tSzo interview with rhino.

The team are very real, very loyal to their community and have a great vision that they pursue with a fierce passion.
If there is anything i have learnt from spending over 2 years with this community.
Its that the team take users security and privacy very seriously and are generally pissed off about the Orwellian society that we are quickly becoming as am I.
I know when the Bug was found in shadowcash it was a real kick in the guts to them and they felt like they had let us all down, that shows they actually care about the community.
this isn’t about money for them thats why for 2 years they have developed with almost no funding, SDC had no IPO/ICOs Premine Instamine the dev hold little coins and thats a fact.
they do this because they believe in it and thats why i stick with them for so long.

Beside of that and how about the decent? and till this time I have not heard any good news or things about the decent, and whether that is still a be another good platform?Comparing with ICN will having a lot of gaps.

Decent is out famed by ICONOMI and ANTSHARE so maybe thats the reason why we can't really feel the decent ICO success but i think if the Ico of ICN will be finish well the other investor well go jump of to decent since that coin has promising project to, But for now i am focusing on ICONOMI since the amount they gathered are getting more bigger and bigger for this succeeding days.

I think the consolidation of the current XMR price will end soon with a new bull period. The fact that XMR is used as the main currency for the dark markets and that Poloniex are using it as their second currency are both very positive for this coin. Time will tell how it lasts in 2017 but due to the level of commitment from Polo and the dark net I think it will last and possibly even increase in value.

I would provably feel that XMR will regain its stance and gain more price for years passes and it will like de ja vu happening like bitcoins price back since then, and provably as XMR used as second option currency in dark web it can gain more user and price more spikes since the coin are gaining more trust by some dark users and healthy circulating in that society, so overall standings for XMR is very Promising to get high.

monero is coin this year for me. From the first this coin join until now the price so stable and show the good progress. but for short term this coin doesnt recomended. this coin is best for long term.

Wow, XMR jumped 15% overnight - I didn't notice that earlier. That's a nice little bonus - I thought it would stay in the 0.015 range for at least another week or two =)

[mining1]

Obviously ethereum, 1 day of devcon and the price skyrocketed by 2$ and it's just the beginning. Check the latest news / reddit / projects building on them and you'll know. Or chose one of the altcoin clones of bitcoin. Your choice. Which other project out there works on real life useful projects like ethereum ? There are few but not working very well, like steemit.

[BadAss.Sx]

People should watch Stratis....you don't have to invest in it, but investigate it....you'll eventually invest in it haha

[J Gambler]

Im choosing two , Ethereum and Iconomi because this two has-a-potential-too increase the price when the market pump up and the -iconomi hits 10 million usd so-far and thats really cool it didn't take 1 month right? iconomi is just new and it really hits more investors too.

[tempus]

I was pretty critical, but I have to admit, I'm more and more convinced the more I learn about it:


Lykke - decentralized marketplace for all kinds of assets built on the Bitcoin blockchain.



What is so interesting about it?

1. They've already delivered, which is very unusual in the Crypto-Space in my opinion. ;-)

It's a very well working system. Usually I don't like Smartphone-Apps but I would recommend everyone to try out this one:


https://lykke.com/lykkewallet/#1


It's very well thought-out and user-friendly. Best is: Fee is 0% and it seems it will stay there.

**********************


2. The team: https://lykke.com/leadership.php

The CEO of Lykke is Richard Olsen, co-founder of Oanda which can be seen more as just an indication for expertise. The more I read about Lykke the more I believe it could become even bigger than Oanda because the plan is obviously to combine the best out of both worlds and they seem to know how to do it.  

And what I really like is his vision in general. I found a very interesting speech of him:


The power of the small world phenomenon | Richard Olsen | TEDxZurich
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKzjwV_N68I


But also the rest of the team is very interesting. Just for example:

Lykke cofounder Sergey Ivliev is Named Best Risk Manager in Russia and CIS

And, everybody knows this man: Bitcoin Legend Nick Szabo Joins Lykke Advisory Board

3. The Roadmap:
  

• Margin trading (Q4 2016)
• Regulated retail FX (Q4 2016)
• Offchain settlement scalable to 100’000+ transactions per second (Q4 2016)
• Ethereum support: multisig wallets, interblockchain atomic swaps (Q1 2017)
• Payment system provider (Q2 2017)
• Regulated institutional FX (Q3 2017)
• Fixed income products, commodities (Q3 2017)
• 1 billion USD average daily volume (Q4 2017)

And a little hint: Because they currently do an ICO with the option to get the money back, it's possible to trade Bitcoin against LKK while LKK is at a fixed price - at least for the next 20 days. With the current Bitcoin-market-situation it may not make much sense and I personally burned my fingers with that a little bit, because I expected Bitcoin to rise and it dropped, but it's a great way to try out their App. Thing is: Nobody needs to buy into the ICO to use it as wallet and even better: As a decentralized exchange. It's rare to find something that is useful for those who just want that and for potential Investors - everybody has to make his own decision.

**********************


ICO and market-situation:



For those who think about buying into the ICO: LKK is not really just a coin, it's a share (100 LKK = 1 share) of the company. The valuation is already pretty high, about $66 M, because they had funding rounds prior to the ICO. It seems as if they go step by step into the public.

I'm not so sure that LKK will hold it's value after the market takes over. But at the same time it might be possible that it even could shoot up, because they already have delivered what other projects like Waves and Heat just have promised until now.


But: The market situation in short-term might be pretty much unpredictable, but especially if it should go down in value after the market takes over it's a buy in my opinion. I'm not sure yet if I will buy into the ICO or hope that I'll get it cheaper right after, but because LKK will be traded on their own exchange the market situation will be different. It's unlikely that those who funded the project in it's very early days will just dump it. 

And what is also interesting about it: For me it seems as if they still don't hype it while they surely would be able to do that. Nothing indicates a lack of funding to do big marketing or a lack of ability to do so. My first impression was that it's late to buy in but that could be wrong, depending on their marketing-strategy for the next weeks and months and possible media-echo and they already got some, but interesting is:

It wasn't much focused on Crypto which might be a reason why Lykke doesn't get much attention yet from us crypto-folks:

You did an effort creating this one so why not. I might try it later.
There is an app so I think it will be much faster.
This is cool and good luck.

gotta go with Lykke, its new its popular its on the way up for at least the short term and it could be the biggest hike of 2016

I didn't look into NEM yet - there are a lot of people talking about it - so probably one to start taking a look at. Is the code for NEM 'XEM', on Poloniex or is that another coin?
