I like the coin you mentioned except for deepunion I think it would be nice if the position is replaced with
ripple or stellar because their basic principle is very good then also from a good work system and now is experiencing a high rise

Top 5 altcoins for 2018: ETH, WAVES, NEO, OMG, BOS
I would sell them when they peak. I think we'll see long bear market starting in 2018.

Priced against BTC, most altcoins still look like they're in a bear market. This could end up being a bull trap for alts if BTCUSD decides to either cliff dive or start making new ATHs. Then we'll see a rush out of alts again. I've noticed that most of the veteran traders I follow are very hesitant to say "alts are back." I'm on the fence myself. I'm scalping and catching a 2x here and there, but I'm not piling in altcoins right now for the long term.

Long term, I'm interesting in DEXs more than anything else. During the next altcoin spring, I think that DEXs and anonymity coins will prosper.

I think ETH is the most promising platform since ICOs are just starting to be a serious investing opportunity and most of them use ERC20 tokens. In 2018 ETH will definitely reach 2000$. The others are XRP, waves, NEM and LTC for sure.

Even though bitcoin might see a sure growth in the future, you won't get an easy 10x from bitcoin in the near future I think. There are a lot of undervalued altcoins on the market which have a lot of ungrasped potential.

Recently I follow a youtuber who talks about these things and honestly I agree with him on coins that will have a greater focus in 2018:

Decred
Counterparty
Qtum
Ethereum Classic
Stratis

Now it's good time to jump into altcoins for next year. There are many good buying opportunities.
Top 5 in my opinion:

- Litecoin: Cross-chain atomic swaps can occur off-chain instantly with heterogeneous blockchain consensus rules. So long as the chains can support the same cryptographic hash function, it is possible to make transactions across blockchains without trust in 3rd party custodians.

- Ark: I think it's undervalued, it will explode.

- Waves: Waves NG protocol is very good. Waves will increase the price x20 in 2018 because of smart contracts.

- Electroneum: the mobile mining approach might be mainly for publicity (it's not a real mining), but publicity is exactly what crypto currency needs.

- NXT: there is a good airdrop on Dec 28th, you will receive 0.5 IGNIS for every NXT.

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

+1 to this.

I have been following Iota and REQ very closely and you have been the first other person to suggest REQ i've seen. It is an early adopter coin right now but that just means it's the best possible time to buy!

I will check out the others as you clearly have the same indicators of value that I have.

The airdrop really interests me here.

What is IGNIS and what do they offer?

Something I would like to know about airdrops like this, can I exchange another coin for NXT for 28th dec airdrop and then as soon as the airdrop happens exchange it back to my coin of choice?
Is this possible or is there a minimum hold period of NXT to be eligible for the airdrop?

I don't really check altcoin prices against BTC, I rather see USD value. If we stay in Bitcoin after altcoin rise we could be much wealthier but who would've known? It was very unpredictable market. I have USD value targets, if they pass that I'll sell.

I've been interested in Ark, my only question is, if atomic swaps become more common, will we still need ark?

Good list. I suggest you to add Waves and OMG. I expect them to rise next year.
I see that you forgot also Eth, great potential to moon in 2018.

[Marco Ambrusini]

I think ETH is the most promising platform since ICOs are just starting to be a serious investing opportunity and most of them use ERC20 tokens. In 2018 ETH will definitely reach 2000$. The others are XRP, waves, NEM and LTC for sure.

Ethereum will surely continue to rise due to ICO startups with ERC20 tokens.Litecoin,Ripple and Monero are equally good altcoins.And one coin we shouldn't underrate is CARDANO.

[10000BTC]

five altcoins that I should choose to hold for year are
1. ethereum (ETH)
2. bitcoin cash (BCH)
3. dash (DASH)
4. monero (XMR)
5. litecoin (LTC)
although the price of these altcoins are decreasing, they have potential rising after a year. one of them is ethereum, it is crowdsale.

The list is pretty good but i will pick.
NEM
IOTA
COSS
LTC
ELECTRONEUM
They have great potential for 2018.
