Best Altcoin to invest in for 2017 and WHY !!!

[ophyrim]

In my opinion, if you don't trade, bitcoin is the cryptocurrency which you have to always keep in mind for investment. At least some percentage of your money must bitcoin. This is important because 1- don't pull your all eggs at the same basket. 2- if the price of cryptocurrency which you invested decrease you can buy cheapest with your bitcoin.

In January 2017 until now, I can say is that there are some very interesting coin movement price, I recommend for you all to have this coin: etherium, monero and litecoin. If you still have the funds I suggest to buy dash and doge.

If you allow me to select just one Alt coin to invest for 2017, it would be Iconomi (ICN). The reason is, it is more like an ETF which has a diversified portfolio of Alt coins including bitcoin (approx. 30% or so ). The portfolio is balanced monthly and coins are stored in cold wallet. The team has a proven track record of running cashila for the past 4 years. They are rolling out a platform and they will be paying out weekly dividends as well.

Coin 1: Bitcoin

Why:

- Heading towards mainstream adoption
- Lightning network in 2017

- No IPO/ICO 100% fair distribution

Coin 2: Litecoin

Why:

- Development is moving at a very fast pace
- Might go up with bitcoin if it goes up
- No IPO/ICO 100% fair distribution
- Remains strong as ever after more than 5 years of operation

Coin 3: Peercoin

Why:

- Development has picked up a lot with projects such as peerassets, peerticker, V0.6 protocol update etc.
- Running for more than 4 years
- Oldest POS coin
- No IPO/ICO 100% fair distribution 

Coin 4: Dogecoin

(Yes im serious)

Why:

- Running for almost 3 years
- Strong community
- Gets people used to crypto
- Has some adoption as a tipping currency

Coin 5: Counterparty

Why:

- Running for almost 3 years
- Assets on bitcoin are booming as result counterparty value is rising
- Has real life utility with projects like foldingcoin giving counterparty value

Thanks - was wondering why, when I just received my Nano Ledger S hardware wallet, Dogecoin was one of the six coins it could store. The 6 coins on it right now are Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash, Zcash, and Dogecoin.

I think DOGE is a bit of a gamble for this year - doesn't seem to be gaining traction and market cap is starting to tail off. I've taken the risk however.

wbb, if not you guys are bigger idiots that i thought

[monarx911@i.ua]

I think MrsaCoin - MPЗC - X13 - HYBRID
WBB

One of the best in my book that has a great potential to grow is Mooncoin. It has been running flawlessly for 3 years now and it is way undervalued for what it provides, like the new Moonlite platform discussed here and a very fast network. Social features and tipping is a must for any coin to grow bigger and become well known.

Mooncoin was launched in a fair way 3 years ago, and its based on updated litecoin codebase now.

The community involvement is big with a lot of addresses in use and a huge amount of transactions during the years. The price remains low attracting new people and it does not require a lot of money as an investment.


Everyone can be a part of Mooncoin and thats the greatest part of it!

With closed beta testing in progress and open beta on the new V5 tech and rebrand on the way, I'm still going with WBB.  It will be the greatest underdog story since Rudy.

Siacoin (SC) because it focuses on one branch (filehosting) instead of wanting to conquer all crypto-spheres which is too ambitious.

At the moment really cheap, great tech and team plus minebox.io is about to be released = good for mass-adoption and node increase

[naneto]

GAME because mass adoption is so close....

[jeffthebaker]

My portfolio that I plan on hodling for at least a good part of 2017 consists of the following: GameCredits, PepeCash, Elastic, YoviCoin, and Bitcoin

GameCredits is the one I'm most excited about. I think it has a high floor and a very, very high ceiling to explode into in the near future. PepeCash is the king of shitcoins, in my opinion. You can trade fucking pepes with it. Once that idea gains traction it's going to explode, too. Elastic was ICO I'm very happy about right now. Yovi is the one coin I wouldn't recommend- I bought in early and I've made 140x profit on it already, but it's too late to buy in to now.

And of course there's Bitcoin, I think 2017 could be another good year for the king of the cryptos.

I dunno about 2017, but this is a rather juicy sign of a bright future. And unlike empty bollocks spouted on twitter, this is some real and hard progression far outside this echo chamber.

Trading was great for my altcoins yesterday - managed to increase by total holding across all coins by ~5% - bought some GAME and EMC2 for the first time with some surplus profits,and some reinvestment into some other coins - QORA and BCN made me the most profit.

[Dux2K]

For some trading hope for some good ones and predicted ones like maybe ltc or etc,  but for investment i will think twice for some good Ico

[rivoke]

I think doge still my favorite as I can see it has stable value but it will increase because community still support their project.
Until now, I've made 0.076 profit from doge which encourage me to keep invest on it although there are many new coin being develop

I was pretty lucky on the EMC2 gamble - it has increased by 50% in value since buying yesterday.

Try to get into IOTA before it hits exchanges.

It's a Directed Acyclic Graph, so it solves a lot of Bitcoin's problems in scalability. The more people that use it, the faster the system becomes, and there are no transaction fees!

Check out the announced foundation members: https://forum.iotatoken.com/t/current-revealed-foundation-members/1098

This is a serious project that will explode once it's listed on exchanges.

There are plenty coins that show good gains, but I dont feel confidence to truly invest in one or another, I would say that 'buy low - sell high' is an option for me in 2017.
I am seeing steady rise of Decred and BitcoinDark with BitcoinPlus, they surely dont have a lot of trade volume but, for instance, Decred was below 0.0005 and now it is again higher than ETC, at 0.00168 currently.
But I am a fan of ETH and hope to see it rise before and with PoS this year.

Plus I believe ASC is going to be in strong 50 coins with time.
