5 crypto currencies to invest in 2018

[babygun]

5 Coins going to the moon in 2018, in order of my current exposure.

1. Monero  (because multisig, dark net, MetaStable, RuffCT, Kovri, Ledger, Coinomi, Coinbase, Japan/China/Korea)

2. Bitcoin (because Honey Badger don't care)

3. Decred (because governance, Lightning, atomic swaps, Ledger, Japan/China/Korea)

4. Ethereum Classic (because immutable smart contracts and Code Is Law)

5. Litecoin (because coblee, Lightning, atomic swaps)

Honorable mention: Viacoin (because Roman is kicking more ass by himself than the entire team at Dash)

Nice list, i can agree on 4/5 coins, I don't know decred, so no opinion on that.
I would add Ethereum to it also, active development team that is working hard on it to always release new things

[Orteip]

Actually I would go like this, but I change opinion everyday

40% Bitcoin
10% NEO, to be considered risky. If China will regulate the market, a 10x is expectable.
20% Waves
**10% in Waves, 10% to be used in the platform (WCT, OceanLAB and to trade the promising tokens who will come)
15% Stratis
15% Omisego

Undoubtedly OMG will turn out to be year of the coin

Maid/ XBY - depends on the project's development stage can turn out to be a dark horse. If they are anywhere close to implementation, I do expect aleast 100X in both the counters.

NXS/ QRL - may be the coins for 2019 or 2020. I dont expect much from them in next year or so

Monetha - though I expect it to be a decent outing, but not sure how things are going to unfold

and the much discussed liked Waves and Stratis

Very strange to me to see Stratis popping up so much.
I invested a bit in it but it's only been going down

I hope it recovers nicely, but not expecting too much to be honest...

1. Bitcoin is an analogue of gold in modern world. This is a crypto currency that can be sent, received and stored. This currency appeared first on the market, and therefore ranks first in popularity, capitalization and exchange rate against the dollar. Arom bitcoin still repulse all crypto currencies. Today we continue to observe the rapid growth of bitcoin, even if it was a significant fluctuations in early September.
2. Ethereum begins to displace bitcoin in terms of popularity. Ethereum has the ability to create smart contracts, so that it`s the most popular in the world in the construction of the block economy, and is used with numerous ICOs.
3. Ripple is used by banks. Ripple has a huge speed advantage over BTC and ETH, but the operations are not as transparent.
4. IOTA is an innovation in the world of crypto currency. IOTA is also called the "crypto currency of the Internet of things". IOTA is made on the principle of a web and infinitely scales.
5. Litecoin should be invested in because of diversifying investment in bitcoin.

Controversial Bailout Hard Fork Ethereum isn't worth more than a few million.  Nick and Elaine are backing ETC.  Vitalik the Bailout Kid may be Chancellor of his shitcoin but we don't have to validate his hubris.

You need to get right with Decred Jesus.  Get DCR and buy a ticket asap, for goodness' stake.

[nofuture]

for me. 2018 will be the year of these alt coin. eth , strat , neo , stellar and monero

[kekmaster]

In my opinion:
1. Nem
2. Dimcoin/-token
3. Modum
4.btc
5. Whatever the new coin is called after November btc fork

[coiner495]

My bet is in 2018 Ethereum will overcome Bitcoin in capitalisation.

Keep an eye on Byteball if you believe in true innovation. Besides DAG, I don't know any other tech that scales better than blockchain.

Hello everyone, my first post here, hopefully I can realize my dreams with help of the community.

I'm planning to do an initial investment of $500 in crypto currencies. $100 for 5 separate crypto currencies. I'm thinking of XRP, Adcoin, maybe Ethereum and 2 more. Any advice related to the choice of coin?

My goal is to find at least one Unicorn which will generate me maybe $30k in the next years. Which coins would you invest most likely in to achieve this goal?

If your goal is to turn $100 into $30,000 then I think there is no point investing in higher market cap coins because the room for growth is not there. Just imagine what it would take for Ethereum to grow 300 times bigger than it is now. The market cap would then be insane. So I think you could either make your goal smaller or put in more money, or if you want to stick to that goal then go for some obscure coins that are more of a gamble.

How about BLK @ Blakcoin guys?? i dont see anyone target this coin...as far i know dev for blk also active...we got a lot chat and update on blk slack..

[Zuilhsa]

My choice is
1) ethereum
2) litecoin
3)dash
4)NEO
5)ripple

Ethereum is getting more popularity nowadays, investing in ETH seems good as it is going to have good run in 2018.

[Afandoras]

Lisk - Qtum - Syscoin - StartCoin - Stratis - Waves - Litecoin

[mariusc]

Hy guys , my fav 5 coins :

- POM ( only 18 coin total)
- Lisk
- Wawes
- MGO
- EMC

[eckfa]

IOTA and Byteball might have big gains in 2018
Monero is on the rise
Eth is probably going to be even more accepted when POS is integrated successfully

[Bittoshi]

Out of the most interresting coins out there with an active development I would vote for Verge, Ardor, Lisk, Electroneum (still ICO), Cloakcoin and Monero. Especially the coins like
Verge or Cloak which offer private ananymous payments should have a bright future.

[keziakusayang]

1. Boscoin ( i really want to have some, the ico finished in one day, it has a new and different language to ethereum, i will buy when it hit exchange, its team from south kore )
2. Neo ( even if this coin from china i still believe china will lift the ban for this coin. This coin is too good to be banned and china need it )
3. Tezos ( i only buy a few tezos it has good ico )
4. Aethernity ( not sure still monitor the development )

[d0r10n]

1. CombiCoin/TriaToken ICO ( https://triaconta.com/ )
2. Red Pulse ICO using NEO
3. SysCoin
4. FlorinCoin
5. XRP

[askmecrypto]

I am actually doing the same with the following 5 coins, however my investment is much bigger then $500

Biggest bag: $XRP
Second: $ETH (even though I dont find $ETH value to be x5 in 2018, but this gives you option to buy ICOs)
Third: $NEO (If everything thats happening in ASIA is really true, $NEO will cross $ETH in 2018)
Fourth: $STEEM and $STRAT (combined bags)
Fifth: $OMG and $QTUM (combined bags)

Apart from this I am looking at $NAV, its way cheap and could give great results in early 2018.
