Which 10 Altcoins are the oldest?

Currently I can think of Litecoin (2011), Namecoin(2011), Peercoin (2012),  Ripple (2013), GridCoin (2013) and Dogecoin (2013).
All of them are active till now.

Those coins are really old and most have a decent amount of Bitcoin holding them from dropping down in value. While people out there like to lose a bunch of Bitcoin on new coins and their ICO’s the price of these coins could make them some money since they are old and have been through the times of Digital payments. Litecoin is one of the coins on there that is doing really well considering how old it is.

One good thing that xould enhance the trust rating of people is being a pioneer and staying for a long time.
You are correct that is why many people are still into litecoin because of that.
Same with bitcoin and that makes it more valuable.

oldest altcoin still good and active in market

1 litecoin (the first altcoin after bitcoin)
2 dogecoin (second altcoin after bitcoin and litecoin)
3 xrp
4 monero
5 DASH

I don't think xrp, monero and Dash were the 3rd to 5th altcoins ever created, so how are you listing these?

Its quite strange that there is no list or stat available where we can see for sure, the list of all alts according to their age.

Namecoin was first and was something Satoshi actually agreed to.

What happened to namecoin?

Difference between litecoin and ripple in price is huge, first cost 18 mbtc and second 0.08 mbtc. I sold my litecoins few months ago and even there are rumors that litecoin can go to 100$ before 2018 I'm not sure in that, I will think about getting back into the game with litecoins for a bit more. Ripple is cheap for now, and about ripple there is many speculations that goes from totally negative to totally positive, maybe same like that was in the beginning with bitcoin, eth, anyway I'm buying while its cheap and while community is active, also trading volume is always high with ripple, that is a positive thing.

Id say that it is a good time to enter ripple if you want because price is still at 0.00008532 BTC which is cheap and it has a lot of potential because it was launched just 2 years after bitcoin launched and it is still alive now but for litecoin I guess it is not a good time because price is not that cheap at all.

What's your take on the ripple founder fiasco that resulted in their CTO/founder leaving to start Stellar Lumen.

I have some Ripple too but please let me know if you have some insights

Funny how most of those old alts old havent thrived, while newer alts are booming

How old is doge?

December 08, 2013

Really that old? Yet it is still struggling far below 0.0001btc. I sincerely wish the price hikes to the moon for I hold an appreciable number of coins here...Lol...Selfish me, right? By the way why is XRP still not minable?

[Crypto_trader87]

So terracoin is part of an old coin now terracoin is still strong and kicking just a hours ago i see the price of terracoin goes up to 11.900 satoshi from 1500 satoshi this means that the dev and team of the coin is very hardworking thats yhe reason why i well invest my small money to terracoin a few months from there is a big explosion in terracoin that big news will make a lot of investors a very good profit.

Some of the oldest coins in existence I can remember: Ripple - it was established 2 years after bitcoin.
Another old coin is NameCoin and it was launched on the 18th of April 2011 and on 7th of October 2011 Litecoin was launched.
At this point, I consider everything launched after 2011 to be not old enough to mention or to brand it as 'old coins': like Doge or ETH.

Thank you. Yours seems to be the most useful post on this topic.

However I was going through that list and Universal_Bitcoin doesn't seem to be another coin. The linked thread suggests it to be the original BTC. Am I missing something?

Yeah, I wanted to write about this list.
It is quite surprising that the age doesn't matter a lot. Litecoin, doge and maybe ripple still mean something, whereas the 3 others don't. And ethereum was released later and yet it doesn't make the coin worse. I think that age matters in certain aspects. For instance, a brand new coin has to exist for about a year to prove that it is okay. But I don't think that it is important whether a coin is 2 or 4 years old.
