One coin that could be a goldmine for those who buy now and hold, is Spectrecoin (XSPEC).

Take a look at Spectrecoin's tech:

1) Native Tor integration preserves network privacy, protects users against surveillance
2) OBFS4 obfuscation protocol enables undetected usage in Tor-blocked countries such as China and Iran (the only anon currency with this feature)
3) Ring signatures ensure transactional anonymity
4) PoS with generous staking rewards (5% added to the total supply each year, distributed to those who stake)
5) Community-based funding mechanism: Slider for contributing a percentage (or all) of one's staking rewards towards funding development
6) Stealth coin withdrawal from exchanges preserves user anonymity (coming soon in v1.4, due for release in the next few weeks)
7) Default stealth transactions for a more intuitive user experience (coming soon in v1.4, due for release in the next couple weeks)
8.) Stealth staking [a first for any cryptocurrency!] (coming in v2.0, due for release Q1 2018)
9) Low power Android staking wallet (planned for Q2 2018)
10) Trezor and Ledger hardware wallet support (to be announced)
11) SpectreCash app - a small remittance Android app, facilitating 100% anonymous peer-to-peer transactions (planned for Q3 2018)

In addition, Spectrecoin will soon be featured on the anonymous, peer-to-peer decentralized exchange BISQ (formerly BitSquare), starting with BISQ's upcoming software release.  This is a fitting partnership for any coin that takes the privacy and anonymity of its users seriously, and a truly exciting development.

This is one up-and-coming privacy coin that is not messing around.  Regardless of which way the crypto market heads in the short term, this is a coin you will want to stake your claim in now, before it hits its stride.

I'm sure everyone understands that 2018 will be the year of alternative crypto currency, and now it's time to buy promising coins.

Analyzing many other projects on such criteria as the total number of coins, work in the community, self-financing, technology, and, after seeing how the developer works, I made a choice.
My choice - Spectrecoin XSPEC

1) SpectreCoin (XSPEC)
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/spectrecoin
Circulating Supply 20,785,264 XSPEC
Very interesting project that will definitely go up in price! - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2103301.0
XSPEC - I'm sure that it will cost much more than now, I buy this coin for all my money!
Indeed an anonymous coin which is dynamically developed by the community!

Here is an article about the fact that a very profitable investment project - https://globalcoinreport.com/heres-why-now-might-be-a-good-time-to-pick-up-some-spectrecoin-xpsec/

Wallet PoS 3.0 + Obfuscation using Masternodes + Governance Masternode Voting + Zerocoin Protocol + Decentralized Marketplace + Decentralized Crowdfunding + Segregated Witness

FOR NEW INVESTORS WHO HAVE FOUND THIS HIDDEN GEM...

At the moment the team are concentrating on a core upgrade to bitcoincore 0.13 and implement fulltime zerocoin protocol for full anonymity (mint/spend functions). This is being worked on in sync with re designed website with zoin foundation/updated roadmap along with some video presentations of zoin. Thereafter will be a MASSIVE push in marketing and more exchanges. Mobile wallets are also in the works and masternodes soon after. Things will start to move VERY quickly in Q1 2018.. imo, the price right now is nothing to what it will be mid-2018.

my top 5 investments:

1. ETH
2. SUB
3. Oyster Pearl
4. Elixir
5. REQ

They all have great news for Q1 2018 with launching mainnet or beta phase. Take a loot at this coins, they still have low marketcaps expect ETH.

We agree on 2 of these!
1. ETH
2. Credits (CRDS)
3. Oyster Pearl
4. Monero
5. ADA

Oyster Pearl and CRDS are low marketcap, very easy to appreciate.

Today's price correction on many coins is a good chance to buy more out from ETH.
PRice @Viberate - VIB decreased from 65 cents to 50 cents per . Since there is no significant price correction for ETH this is a good time to buy some more VIB with a nice ratio between VIB/ETH.

There's a lot of crypto that has a good potential this year and most of altcoins for the past few days are pumping and it is very hard to pick which is which. All of us have their own picks and here's mine:
1.ETH - this is my first love in this industry and I am very loyal in holding and investing to this coin
2. ETN - my very first campaign and I will definitely hold into this great project!
3. INS - it will be released/listed in exchange by Jan 15 - DTC is the reason why
4. BTC - playing safe
5. Ripple - I am planning to get some of this once there's a dip.

Definitely. Japan is a very crypto friendly country and its likely that the crypto currencies that are originating from Japan will succeed. If not globally at least in Japan, but as crypto is accepted as a legal payment method there, this will likely be enough.

Nióbio Cash (https://niobiocash.com)
Golem
Ethereum
Bitcoin(maybe)

[Slavyanskiy]

A lot of practical advice, here give.
To the aforementioned cryptocurrencies, I would have added IZX TOKENS.
IZX token is based on the blockchain technology, which provides global reliability and trust for the protocol and token transactions.
In my opinion, in the top five this token can exactly enter.

Ethereum is the mother of altcoins and #ETH is good investment in 2018. I will looking for #VIB (Viberate) coin too. Why? Beacuse of briliant porject and because on market is a lot of cryptocurrencys and people start to analize them, not just buy because it is low price coin. And when you analize the project an stuff behind the coin you see a difernece between good, the best an bad altcoins.

Investing in Ethereum will be a safe and logical choice because I think bitcoin will lose first place

I am now a bit curious and doubtful on XVG. They are already in billions and maybe it will become popular as payment in deep web with bitcoin and monero.

Some of these recommendations are just horrible and you're either going to stay poor or maybe gain 20% every month.

Pick ones with some upside. DBC, PRL, ELIX, QLC, REQ. All have a chance to 5x within weeks and months.

All risk coins and why don't you pick some coins like ETH, BTC? Those risky coins can turn 2018 into nightmare for newbie.

I like your portfolio it looks really safe in my opinion, you are not going to gain a lot but you are not going to lose a lot too, Ethereum is a really good coin I think it will reach a higher marketcap than Bitcoin
