What to invest in long term

[dissident]

I still think this is a dead cat bounce that's going to roll over in the next 5 days. I would stay out of cryptos unless the coin has a really low valuation that has been stable or has lots of potential. Although I love NEM I can't honestly recommend any top 20 coin here.

I'm thinking Xtrabytes which has already been mentioned, or Ark.  If the coin has gone parabolic the last couple months and has gone up 30X like dogeshit in the absence of any unique tech and active development, avoid the coin.   Everyone always think's that "it's different this time" when in a bubble... and almost universally they end up wrong. Of course it's possible we have not hit the top of the bubble yet... it will take massive buy volume to push bitcoin to a new record high vs having it roll over and have a margin call induced crash.

I personally believe NEM will take the number one spot and replace bitcoin as the medium of exchange all exchanges use to transact with altcoins within 2 years, however.  Once they release Mijin it will take off.  No more waiting 30-45 minutes for 3 confirmed transactions and big fees. However the more I dig the more I see there are a dozen alts that could do the same thing as any of the top 10 coins, because of the whole "open source" thing... which is why I'm glad NEM and Xtrabytes have not opened up all their source code for everyone to copy yet.   Seriously how many smart contract coins are out there now?  25 to 50?   As for the decentralized marketplace (bitbay) and cloud storage (siacoin) I don't see big demand until wallets are released where you don't have to download the whole blockchain.   Coins like NEM which have supernodes and nano wallets already take care of this.   Also I'm just not into 100% proof of work coins, period.

Search on some coins which have great potential in the next few months like ETH, NEM and other tokens that are affiliated with ETH too.

As what I've observe Nem is a good choice it is not over price and when btc went skyrocket Nem did not crash that much like what happened to other altcoins specially Ripple.

If I should have a long-term investment view on altcoins, the coin I will invest is litecoin as currently, among the old coin is at it accumulation cycle. I do expect litecoin to trade above $150 before the end of this year, especially, if they can succeed in segwith activation.

Waves, Blocknet

[Zenoru]

Blocknet definitely based on the fact it literally can bridge every cryptocurrency together by solving the decentralized exchange problem. The team also just announced some partnership with Bitbay, which I knew was a very good project, but thought it was completely unrelated until now. That was a pleasant surprise.

Top 20 coin always increases. If you want more profit, invest your money in top 100 tokens such as humaniq, chronobank or matchpool. They are very potential

 calm before the storm.....  watching that chart of BTC slowly start to roll over... if and when it does, there will be pain....

[adroitful_one]

Ethereum. Definitely.. I can see it possibly hitting $1,000 or more in the future. That's what I would invest in if I had the extra funds right now. I can pretty much gurantee that the price will be up in a few years. It will be like buying into Bitcoin several years ago

Bitbay, shift and insane

I think Bitcoin is a good invest in long term because it makes you invest due to high price and still worth investing. It has a great value and the price is good and give benefits and bitcoin has a potential. it can be profitable to invest in bitcoin. Ethereum also good in long term investment because of fastest and it cheaper. It also has a profitable.

I think you choose this hold your bitcoin, buy thereum, dash, monero, zcash, litecoin , tor coin this coin is very promising that gives you profit for sure after few months of holding I think 6-7 months is enough to pump this coin. But I suggest to you before investing one altcoin its better if you make a lot of research . Because doing research for sure you will know if the coin have potential to increase or not. Invest only to the coin that you know have potential .

Aragon has a revolutionary idea to bring companies to the blockchain plus they currently hold more value in ETH then their entire marketcap, so not only do they have a great product they have more funds then the entirety of their tokens are currently worth. Well priced now + great long term prospects.

Thats my current biggest altcoin investment.

[mizuna]

BTC and ETH are the safest bets in my humble opinion.

[sn0oked]

Take a look at TRST coin. Realtime usage, great dev team behind it, very transparent. They had a successfull ICO and managed everything really quickly. In my opinion it's pretty much underrated right now. Relies on smart contracts too.

[betlord90]

If I am the one who will gonna invest for longterm then i will go on ETH since actually i've seen that eth will get more success for more yes pass on its and eth is a strong crypto currency that will compete to btc right now, And also Stratis is truly good on staking since im totally surprise for the outcome on price of each token right now since it was already reached for 0.0023 at piece.

[uniquehero]

btc, eth, etc, humanig, ardor, waves, mobilgo, coindash

[worldmain]

ETC, LTC
But at this time ETC has a better chance

[nnx3]

the best wort to inwest are coin with good fee
have look

DCR - DECRED good governance and start with Lighting
DASH - DASH governance and budgeting system
ETC - ETHEREUM CLASSIC - waiting for new project
XMR - waiting for politics and Bangster cash, XMR as the best safe place
NEM - no crazy mining, but should do more safest wallet and better privacy
GNT - must have supercomputer power to hack bad people

+ few NEW ICO
 

[BitDane]

I think RLC is a good investment, they are just new but their project looks good.  I believe their price will skyrocket once their development released the completion of their project this coming October.  Aside from that, MAID has been silent for several months now.  I believe it will be the next big thing this coming month.

[agustina2]

What coins can be invested in 6-7 months? Waves are in my portfolio. what else may be ?

Go for NEM. But maybe can took for years like it did before the crazy pump. Soon it will passed Ripple after taking the spots of DASH, LTC and ETC in just a matter of short period. Chances to surpass ETH? Maybe for 5 years lol. Since the goal is to profit and long term, no need to prioritize the surpassing of ETH as long as it will have a decent price in the future and will be worth to hold.

Of course obviously, it should be accompanied by holding BTC and other coins with bigger marketcap.
