Unbiased Look At 58 Coins

[Shrimpydink]

I am not an experienced investor. I held Bitcoin for a little bit and have sold a lot to take the plunge into altcoins.

But there are just so many. So I have researched at a brief level all the coins that caught my eye. 58 in total. I have summarised them as a one liner and would like your feedback as to what you agree or disagree with. Don't be offended if I have not been favourable to your darlings, like I said. I am going off what i found and my own experience. It was a bit of fun after all.

That said correct me if I am wrong and back me if I seem to have got a coin right.

Buy               
AEON   Clean coin no premine, no ICO, originally a Monero devs testing bed. Buy to hold and see if they develop into a full time solid project                           
Bitbay   Solid little coin. Buy soon while cheap   Dash           A lot of potential as the leading 3rd gen coin   
Dalecoin   Tiny market cap. Little risk. Wait until it comes on an exchange I have                           
Decred   Good developers, keep an eye on this to increase stake   
Diamond   Market cap very low, hard working Devs. Buy this                                 
Etherum   Will be the market leader, invest here                  
Factom   Buy More. Solid fundementals and backing. Potential expansion to India and China   
Golem   Buy more. Great idea, well executed so far.      
IOTA           Looks to be a solid coin and still cheap at the moment. Buy soon.            
Maidsafe   Updates coming this month. Grab some and see the outcome.   
Modum   Pharma coin. Love the idea. Product already coming together. Small ICO investment, monitor   
Moreno   Behind Dash but cheaper and has the similar potential            
NavCoin   Buy More. Great potential. Very active Dev team.   
NEM           Long Term Winner                           
NEO           Backed by China, great platform. Missed the boat on the rise, but a good long term investment.   
Qtum   Buy ASAP. Not muhc hype yet and a very active dev team                           
Radium   Buy ASAP. Tiny market cap, tiny supply. Will go through the roof with good development                           
Red Pulse   Big potential. ICO happening soon                           
Ripple   Buy more for long term. This is a long term thing and possible mainstream                           
Syscoin   Coin with good potential and support. Due for a decent rise soon due to 2 mid september updates coming                              
TenX           Similar to Monaco but with a closer product. Not valued well at the moment. Buy when funds are free               
Verge   Think this has a big future. Buy Now.                              
                        
               
Monitor
0x          Not a lot of info around. Possible one for the long term. Monitor.
Civic          Look to sell, can't see much of a future in this
DeepOnion  Strong community spirit. Recover investment, then hodl                                             
Florin       Old coin tthat finally has some sort of product to help move the coin value up                           
Lisk          Will only succeed long term if the Lisk tech is taken up. At the moment it is just words. Monitor   
Metal   No info on this. Backed by reputable people. Hold it.                           
Monaco   Great idea but slipping away at the moment. Monitor to sell.                           
NXT           Good but some grey area around a 2nd ICO linked to NXT                           
Oxy           Invested in ICO. Awaiting coins in October                                 
Rise           This has spiked massively due to a bunch of burned coins. Better projects out there                           
Stellar   Don't buy more. See how it goes. Something out of place but can't put finger on it.      
Stratis   Hold for future, just slow to get going atm and missing deadlines. But what they produce is good.                                                   
Viacoin   Developers very active. Missed the initial boat but with good product it will multiply very soon                                    
Waves   Decent growth, need to read more. Monitor this.                           
Xtrabytes   Tiny market cap. Little risk. Wait until it comes on an exchange I have                           
Zcash   Don't know much about this. Looks good but not much talk going on                           
Zcoin   Small community but decent future. One to hodl.   



Don't Buy
Archain   Just not feeling it after looking through everything. Monitor to see if wrong                           
BAT            A lot of hype not a lot of substence. Overvalued at the moment. Can't see this going anywhere. Too many coins in too few wallets.                           
Bitconnect   Dug a bit. Looks like a big scam. Don't go near this. Money has and can be made but chances of being a bag holder are high                           
Bitdice   Great idea however… anon team, not on any major exchanges. Wallet is on the casino (so it can be spent). Low return from ETH investment. Will revisit this soon.                           
Bytecoin   Don't buy this again. Originally a scam coin kept going by the community. Has a very small potential to be worth anything. Community is a bunch of trolls. A lot of coins missing and large blockchain issues.                           
Counterparty   Very meh about this. Has consistently underperformed and community isn't as active as I'd hope.                           
Digibyte   Very cheap coin. Potential to go to the moon but more than likely just a pump and dump coin. Solo dev trying to make it a reputable coin but chances are no as too many bagholders at the moment to see this rise.                           
EOS           Do not buy. Stinks of scam. No product yet and have taken nearly $200m from investors.                           
Expanse   Don't buy. Fork of Etherum but without the dedicated team. The Devs hold most of the coins in cold storage and can ruin the price when needed. A risky pump & dumop                           
Humaniq   Ambitous project with deadlines being missed. Stay away for now. Better options out there                           
Kyber   Currently massively overvalued considering there is no product yet and a very hard implementation ahead. Monitor every couple of months, do not buy until a working product is on the horizon                           
Looq           Nope. Bonuses are unsustainable. People claiming they got a lot less than they should have. Devs not answering questions.                            
Nimiq   No actual project yet. Already at $1 and miners moaning that it isnt worth the time                           
OmsieGo   A lot of social media hype no actual project just yet and overvalued at $10. Coin is not really needed.                            
Rise           This has spiked massively due to a bunch of burned coins. Better projects out there                           
Steem   Comes across as a big scam. Where whales pat each other on the back. One person who was a miner and a contributer and called scam. Expect a bubble to burst.

I'm sure I could carry on and do 100 coins but I dont have the funds to keep buying in haha

Are you investing on all these coins and ICOs?

[db71]

Thanks! Some of your opinions make sense...

[Shrimpydink]

Are you investing on all these coins and ICOs?

No I am not some sort of whale. I just did it to seperate out those where I can build a small portfolio.

[Shrimpydink]

Thanks, was thinking it was a bit all in the dark.

There is no actual mining on this because the mainnet starts in December, so.. (test)miners couldn't moaning on anything..
1 NIM equals 10 NET (which is tradable now) and now is something about $10

Is this a coin you would recommend me re reading up on. Looks like I missed a key point there. Whats the potential for it's use?

[overnightmillionaire]

So wrong to say EOS is a scam.. it's going to be one of the top coins, if not the very top coin in the near future.

Look at this update:

Quoted to save it.  Though only 58 coins that is a very thorough review at more coins than I have been keeping track of.  I started a thread where I was taking a look at coins, haven't kept up at it though.  Nice work.

DO MORE RESEARCH THIS LIST IS SCARY

I glanced at it for 5 seconds and had to look away from the glaring errors and double standards.

No offence im sure you are not intending on misleading people but you need to put in a LOT more historical research before making such a list.

[jdlr]

Opinion on XRB  ??

Drop some knowledge fam!

[GRR]

You're gravely mistaken to see EOS as a scam. So much recent development going on. It is not their fault that nervous idiot investors dump the coin because they think such a mega project is realized within 2 months. Buy now and make the money of your lifetime.

[victory1]

So many tokens, yet limited exchanges. No point buying unless you are willing to be stuck with them for a while.

Could be good. Small atm and clearly a solid but again small community. But for me there's a few hurdles they need to overcome. They need more devs.

I would like your opinion in storage coins, you don't seem to have any but there are a few in this niche.

Siacoin
Storj
Burst coin
Maidsafe (does more than storage but I think it's relevant)

[rockyx]

thank u very much for the overview

[Johnnywelsh]

Always interesting to see what others think of various altcoins, even if others disagree. At end of the day the only value a lot of the current coins has is what people think of them.
