Best altcoins to invest for 2018 ?

[haivico]

So many coins now, not easy to choose few of them... There was big hype about IOTA, lot of people say it's very promising coin, also it's not based on blockchain what can be its advantage, we will see. But still has some problem with a wallet...
ADA (Cardano project) looks for promising coin with academic background, I bought some of them.
Of course NEO, this coin should be very popular on Chinese market.
You haven't recommended Nexus, do you think it's not good for an investmant? It's real space-coin so maybe this rocket will fire to the sky

COLX !!! (2018 start booming, now still cheap - Verge (XVG) competitor but way better)

(if this won't change the market you may kick me out of this forum and steal my Spectrecoins and Oyster Pearl tokens...

Ethereum is first on the list. I am planning to go on trading. Hoepfully by the start of the year, I can also start my ethereum. Had heard a lot of positive feedback about ethereum, too. So let's give it a try.

I agree with you, but you won't be able to gain a lot. Don't forget about other good alt coins like Ripple, LTC.

[Arata]

could not have predicted such a thing, if predictably will, of course, make everyone invested in the same coin. but for the benchmark, you can invest on ethereum on next year because these coins are pretty good if seen later in the future because of the devotees are also more and more.

My experience 2017 and what I think about 2018.

I do not invest in ICO's again. I only made losses at the ICO's this year. (example Polybius (10$ each Coin on ICO), ARTE ) . I'll wait until I see the coins on the market and observe first.

My best experience 2017 is with existing coins that are already listed somewhere and have a very active community and DEV's. ( PIVX, STRAT, WAVE, ARK)

In 2018 I see this potential at POSW and UNIFY. I have been observing them for some time and they are currently growing strongly in the areas of community, the teams behind them and what's behind the coins.

I think in 2018 I will pursue the strategy: Never ICOs, first observe how the coins develop then compare and then invest.  

And there will certainly be more coins that are worth it! POSW and UNIFY are only the start of 2018

I have been also keeping an eye on PosW, but after sometime I find it hard to remain that bullish on it.

Masternodes coming yes, then they just basically say "hey we will update to lightning network too"...ok great and all but
lightning isnt even up and running on bitcoin or litecoin yet. Will it really be that easy to start using?

Also their model of providing staking as a service has changed dramatically and you have to pay membership
to get higher staking rewards, otherwise the staking is 1%...

I will say their trustless TPos is interesting and also is the treasury, but remeber the first dev team was replaced.

I am still considering a masternode, we will see.

I think that every replacement of the composition of developers has a certain deep meaning, and first of all it is to raise the rating of the project itself. But this does not mean that the project has good prospects for the future.

Very interesting project that will definitely go up in price!
XSPEC - I'm sure that it will cost much more than now, I buy this coin

[mondeo.96]

I think you need to invest in anonymous coins.
They are gaining popularity, and as a result, the price will grow dynamically.
Which project is right for you to decide for yourself and find yourself.
Already written about various projects. My favorites - zoin and xspec

[snowboard]

My holdings:

- Xspec
- Oyster Pearl
- Elixir
- ColX
- SOMN
- Substratum
- UNIFY

Have great feeling about each of them!

I think ETH and XRB are good to be invited in 2018 because its reputation is currently very good and good enough to be invested in the year 2018

XRP, IOTA, CREA, XSpec and OmiseGo are my bets for next year.

All the altcoins are basically alternative coins of bitcoin. Because bitcoin is the most successful crypto than any other altcoins that's why I called them as alternative coins.
If you see seriously then you have to find that only one coin which is the most successful in recent past and present and that alt is ethereum. It has increased almost 3000% in 2017 so we can think that it will be brighter at 2018 surely. Though no one can guess perfectly what is coming at future but we can imagine something by seeing its present performance. Ethereum is the best choice for 2018 in my personal opinion.

DeepOnion is making a nice staircase chart, you can just walk right up and get some before they pass the 10$ mark, and keep walking until you get to the moon.



Bad jokes aside - have a look if you haven't already - it is a solid project, the team have proven that time and time again.
On top of the investment opportunity, there is still airdrop going, and they have lots of bounties and even giveaways on their forums.
The community is passing 10.000 members about now, the announcement here on bitcointalk is the 3rd most replied to of all altcoin announcements ever:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2006010.0
Also, it contributes to TOR with more than 800 nodes (number is up and down obviously - indication here: https://novaexchange.com/addnodes/ONION/)

Happy New Year!

No offence, but you show chart from one week and you call this project solid!? Take a look at the chart of any top 10 altcoin to see what it means solid. This coins working to achieve this positions years - this is solid base!

I have to give you right both about the chart, which was more ment as a little joke, and that it is a young project with lots to prove yet, so in that way solid may be the incorrect word.
Here is the full chart on cmc: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/deeponion
What it has delivered so far seem to be of a way higher quality than many of the top 100, as well as most of the other 2017 projects, so I think it is one of the "best altcoins to invest for 2018".
It was the project I ended up supporting after using some time looking for new gems.

Edit: since getting paid for posts is mentioned in a later post, and I don't want to make an(other) off topic post in this thread: I am not getting paid for recommending DeepOnion here, I do it because I believe in it, and I, as earlier mentioned and my signature show, support this project.
Edit: Sorry for making a mess of your thread, @op

That's fair, one week is not very long - but you have to at least acknowledge that this coin has made tremendous progress for only being around approximately 6 months. Not only that, but looking from an investor's standpoint, the extremely low coin supply (in relation to a lot of other altcoins) combined with the next 14 weeks of airdrops means that the price of this coin is ready to pop. The airdrops have been updated to factor in how many onions are in your wallet, so this means there's 587 dedicated hodlers, and each one has to have at least 100 onions in their wallet. Here's a larger picture on coinmarketcap, over three months.



First off, I'd like to point out that the price never dropped below ~$0.50. Over the course of three months, we never saw any major price drops. This is at least in part to the constant updates that the devs have been putting out - not only to the DeepOnion official forum, but to the wallet, and to different activities in the community (such as the DeepPoints system, which rewards users for participation). People have realized that this group of administrators is always listening to the community, as demonstrated by their reactions to what people have to say. We were getting a lot of complaints about our members spamming boards and not making good comments - so the administrators cut everyone off of the rewards system, and now it's by application only. So, there is a competent team of developers, leading a low supply coin that is privacy based (Tor integrated, and currently contributing over 800 nodes) - so when you look at these charts, and see the price jump over the past week to a new ATH of $8.00, does it seem more of a pump-and-dump, or that the community of over 10,000 members with thousands of them convinced that Onion is undervalued is starting to affect the market?

It's not just a hype train with new investors getting sucked into a project they don't understand. The whitepaper has been a long time coming, but the technology implemented into the DeepOnion wallet is attractive even to experienced investors. The key feature is the Tor integration for sending transactions, which not only routes your IP through the Tor network but helps the entire Tor network in general by acting as a node (hence the 800+ I mentioned earlier). But, my personal favorite is the DeepVault. I'll be honest, this took a little while to grow on me, but I really like this program now. You can take whatever files you want, and for a low fee, pay to have that file permanently attached to the blockchain and verifiable with your public address. I'm personally a fan of PGP verification, and Kleopatra for Windows doesn't allow images because "reasons", I guess. The DeepOnion team solved this, and created DeepVault. There's a web-browser edition being worked on right now, and is one of their highest priorities to be released. Further along in the future is DeepSend, which is going to be an integrated coin mixing system to anonymize transactions from address to address (similar to bitcoin mixing systems found on the deep web).

I really think that the team has some amazing ideas and it's obvious that they're trying their hardest, plus they keep their reward for all this work until the end (2,500,000 onion given to them at the end of the 40 weeks). The progress that this coin has made to becoming well-known and important in this community has been incredible over the last six months, and while it's obviously up to you to join in and see, don't say I didn't tell you to.
