Pick 5 coins to buy and hold for the next 5 years (no ETH, Monero, Dash)

[UMadorMyrin]

If you all had to pick 5 coins to buy today and were required to hold them for 5 years or longer, which would you choose? Long-term time horizon. Please exclude Ethereum, Monero, and Dash from your list. Thanks

Waves, gamecredits, xem, bitbay, stratis

[g___]

xem, golem, decred, siacoin, xrp

[justone123]

LBRY (you'll either be rich or lose it all  ) So invest as much as you are willing to lose.

[teramit]

steem, stellar, riplle, nem, golem

[European Central Bank]

decred, peercoin, byteball, namecoin, litecoin. some of those are old and out of fashion but maybe that's gonna count for something in the future. namecoin and peercoin particularly seem weirdly invisible despite their pedigree.

[CoinCollector006]

LBRY - trying to disintermediate youtube
Steem - reddit/medium, can earn coins through blogging
Counterparty - asset platform for bitcoin blockchain
Game - gaming industry token, fungible across platforms
Dogecoin - low return expectations by investors, strong community

5 years is way too long to speculate.  2-4 weeks ago I recommended XEM based on the tech, and it's still relatively undervalued compared to it's peers, Ripple and Ethereum, but there's probably going to be alts that can vastly outperform it on a raw percentage basis at this point since it's gone up 4-5 fold since my recommendation.

I would recommend simply waiting for ICO's that have a low cost distribution like NEM did that seem innovative. Don't go giving a bunch of developers millions of dollars for some ICO.. make them give it away and if they put in the hard work to make their technology competitive and useful, the coin will appreciate in value and they'll be rewarded at that time with the 5-10% of the coin they decide to keep for themselves and the development team.   NEM was mostly a very low cost/free distribution, and there are some pumped ICOs that are not, like Tezos. There's no reason an altcoin developer needs to raise millions of dollars before they prove themselves. They're most likely going to take the money and run. Don't be stupid.

I'll throw in a few.. but not for a 5 year hold... 5 years is too long.

Ark
Lisk
Nexus
Pivx
NEM


The easy money has been made. I will say that.

[Akboi]

Easy question: WAVES - ETC - STEEM - EDG - GUP

In 5 years you can be a millionaire with that portfolio.

[coupable]

wings
waves
steem
dogecoin
bancor (coming soon)

yep. i don't think enough people realise this. some of the alts now have seriously high valuations. because of the nature of where they're traded, crazy pumps are still very possible but there's more room to collapse than go up these days for the big ones.

none of them have delivered on any of their promise yet look at the prices. it's nuts.

Trust no one, as they used to say on the x-files.  How many coins trade now and the vast majority are dead because their developers took the money and ran.  The ones that survive are the ones that did not take the money and run. Ethereum, XEM, and Ripple. These three are the only ones likely to see any sort of mainstream adoption for business purposes or otherwise, at least in the short to mid term until a coin comes along that can improve upon them in a significant way, which looking at their whitepapers, is not the case. None of the coins that promise anonymous transactions are going to go anywhere because businesses want trace-ability.  LTC with segwit is not really an innovative coin.. it's an improvement over bitcoin, yes, but  XEM is already better by default for scalability, security, and feature-set.

In any case the altcoin market (outside the top 5) is akin to trading pink sheet stocks. Back in 1999 I managed to buy a ticker symbol ECNC for 28 cents and sell it for 9 dollars. That bought my car. I haven't had anything like that since, until now.

[flash10101]

Waves,
Byteball,

...would be a pretty solid portfolio with high updside potential

[slap]

DGD (because need for stable coin)
Waves (because need for fast working decentralized exchange)
WCT (waves community token, many usecases to come)
BTC (because king)
REP (could be huge or could be nothing)

Yes , you are totally true , I don't like to invest in the ETH , Montero and dash etc , it is price of altcoins are already high , so we can't sure whether we will gain more or more or we have only chances to go down .
Well here I would like to suggest you few of the coins that I trust fully . These are dgb , trump , Putin ,blry etc , these altcoins will never get down more and more and also they have the better support by the billionaire ( specially Trump and blry ) .
In my opinion we should hold these altcoins at least for 1 years .
Here I already turned my money 8 times with dgb and creva ( two times ) .
