Here are some altcoins that I think it could be a good move to have in 2017. It would be nice to recheck in say, 3 months (march 2017) what is my success rate. I will explain how I would distribute in % of holding I would go. (So for example, I have 1000$ to invest, if I say I would go 10% on this one, then it's 100$)
1) ETH
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.01 BTC or 7,90$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 7.13$
Yes ETH price dropped a lot, but it seems now that the drop is over. It could go back to 1 000 000 000$ marketcap but of course I'm not all in for this one. Let's say 20%
2) Bitcoin
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 783$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 967$
Not that much to say, it's the king and since the halving in july 2016 that price is still rising slowly, but I don't expect it to double, so a safe bet. Another 20%
3) Monero
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.0108 BTC or 8,48$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 13,72$
Stay solid at over 100 000 000$ marketcap, could go easy to 150 000 000$ marketcap again. Another 20%
4) Blackcoin (BLK)
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.00003396 BTC or 0.0266$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 0.027$
This one is a different strategy. It seems to always oscillate between 2 000 000$ and 3 000 000$ marketcap. So right now it's time to buy and watch when a pump occur and then resell for profit (just before 3 000 000$) Another 20%
5) ESPERS (ESP2)
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.00000055 LTC or 0.000001996$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 0.00000298$
Ok this one is more for a homerun or nothing. It cost nothing, so risk is very low. If it gains attention it will enter BTC market and more exchange. So an easy X10 on this one if this occurs. so 10%
6) Litecoin LTC
Price this moment (2016-12-16): 0.004633 BTC or 3.63$
UPDATE 2016-12-28: 4.61$
Not that much to say, it's the alt that bring them all, seems like it ain't dead. so 10%
So in my example, with 1 000$ as of today (2016-12-16) I would get:
20% in ETH so 25.3165 ETH
20% in BTC so 0.2554 BTC
20% in XMR so 23.58 XMR
20% in BLK so 7518 BLK
10% in ESP2 so 50 100 200 ESP2
10% in LTC so 27.54 LTC
UPDATE 2016-12-28:
ETH holding is now (25.3165*7.13) 180.50$
BTC holding is now (0.2554*967) 246.97$
XMR holding is now (23.58*13.72) 323.52$
BLK holding is now (7518*0.027) 202.99$
ESP2 holding is now (50100200*0.00000298) 149.30$
LTC holdin is now (27.54*4.61$) 126.96$
Total: 1230.24$
Feel free to discuss my choice and let see the result in march 2017!
Just for kicks more than 5 years later this scenario worth now:
ETH holding is now (25.3165*3170$) 80253.30$
BTC holding is now (0.2554*42419$) 10833.81$
XMR holding is now (23.58*205$) 4833,90$
BLK holding is now (7518*0.037) 278,17$
ESP2 holding is now (50100200*0) 0$
LTC holdin is now (27.54*141.81$) 3905.44$
1000$ now worth: 100104.62$
