5 alt coins to hodl in 2018

[adam1230]

IOTA is very suspicious project. Its centralized and this is really against to freedom of economy = blockchain technology.
I will not invest now to IOTA as there are too many rumors about IOTA check twitter posts about rumors and you will see what i am talking about.

[maydna]

New year is fast approaching.
If you had to pick 5 alts that you would hold for a year what would they be?
My picks are:
Iota
Neo
Ada
Lisk
Req

from that list, maybe I will change two coins and here is my list :

neo, ada, lisk, litecoin, and eth.

I think this will be my coin to be held until a year. although there are many more coins that we can hold for a year, I think this is enough to start to hold the coins. maybe you can research more coins so you can have another coin to invest so you can make a big profit in a year later.

I have no doubt that this coins could give theri holders great satisfactions because all have great project and strong community behind, as well as each of them has better performance of Bitcoin in terms of transaction's speed.

1) Bitcore BTX
2) Deep Onion
3) VertCoin

[MirceaMo]

I think Ripple should be in this list too.

Ripple is working with some of the biggest financial institutions around the world. Ripple aims to power the whole financial sector by making instant transactions possible at a fraction of the current costs. It provides a frictionless experience for global fund transfer using the blockchain technology.

And from what I've been researching, by the end of 2018, the Ripple price is expected to cross the $2 barrier at least 

[kaeluxdeuz]

My top 5 choice would be:

ETH
XRP
XML
IOTA
NEO

These have good potential and imo will be great in the year to come!

It is a pity that there is no service with predictions that would allow such posts to be taken into account on the BKT and show who was right with their prediction)
I think that it is worth holding the following coins:

• RDN (Raiden Network)
• QSP (Quantstamp)
• CTX (Cartaxi)
• CAT (Bitclave)
• INS

[zinok474]

A safe choice :
1) Bitcoin
2) Ethereum
3) IOTA
4) NEO
5) Monero

These 5 coins are coins that my explode in long-term 1-2 years. ( Its more risky because if the dont present their project finalized their value will go to ground, but if they meet the expectations with their roadmap can make a fortune ) :
1) Golem
2) Sonm
3) Siacoin
4) Einsteinium
5) Flixxo

[sisira85]

1.  Etherium
2.  Litecoin
3.  Ripple
4.  Waves
5.  XLM
 

[jassanpary]

My picks are:
Iota
Neo
ONION
Lisk
Req

Here I go with this list
ETH
Neo
IOTA
Ripple
LTC
I think all the 5 coins are capable of doing good in the coming days.

[danmoris]

Altcoins that have good potential and is a good idea to HODL in 2018, in my honest opinion:

Ethereum
NEO
Stellar Lumens
Ripple
IOTA

Consider these altcoins because they are long term investments and show good profit in time.

[Allan Ramanda]

actually depends on how you rate the price of the coin. for me 5 coins you mentioned it, I am not so experienced there. but my advice you do not forget with ethereum, because ethereum is very good for long term and short term investing.

[wisdomabioye]

My picks include these

1. ETH
2. LTC
3. XRP
4. ETN
5. WAVES

I'm investing reasonable amount in them. Come 2018, they'll moon.

[satrapus]

Thanks to everyone for their opinions.  
I have looked at your picks and here is a summary (based on menitons):

1) Ethereum - 20 votes
2) Neo - 18
3) Litecoin - 17
4) Ripple - 16
5) Iota - 14
6) Waves - 9
6) Monero - 9
7) Dash - 6
8 ) Ada - 5
8 ) Lisk - 5

I am surprised Eth came out on top. I would have thought that it's already grown a lot, with less potential for high gains in 2018, but you have proved me wrong.

Litecoin, Ripple and Waves are in most folks picks so I will include them in my watch list.

It's important to note that a lot of these alts have seen 5-10x growth in the last month so we will have to look for opportunities to load up.
Buy low sell high, keep it simple  

[Alok_Yadav]

I can't understand how you have not included Ethereum in that list. Ethereum, for me, fills all five spots.

Ethereum
IOTA
Ripple

[L1looker]

My top 5:

ETH
XRP
NEO
OMG
DASH

these coins have great potential next year

[gracer88]

I have a situation, that I have to continue to keep my old altcoins in the new year. I wait for their growth. And here are my five leaders: ethereum, stratis, waves, neo, wings. I believe and wait!

[xireKT]

ada and only ada. So much potential and still nok taken off.

Probably stupid what I did (since diversifying is always the best option to minimize losses) but I'm quite aware of my risks.. Went all in ADA for the long run... Really have faith in their project and their team. Just a matter of time before ADA starts flying off imo..

In a couple of years from now, I'm either going to be with a great smile on my face or will be sad to have dumped a decent amount of cash into something that didn't go through (which I doubt is the case).

[lgpinto]

here's my five:
UTRUST
APPCOINS
RAIDEN
OMISEGO
CINDICATOR

all tech based utilities 

[simplymieke]

I like the list

• Iota
  Neo
  Ada
  Lisk
  Req

But I would add NXT and XRP to the list

[maereglapo]

Neo,Iota,LTC,Waves,Qtum these are my very best alt pick that i love to hold for a longer time i expected these coins will bring a lot of money.
