waiting for the right time to get in.

I’ve had 5k US sitting on the bench watching and waiting for the right time to get in. Seems like the time is here.
Been researching projects and narrowed them down to these FOR LONG TERM HOLDS.
ETH ,VEN ,XLM ,IOTA ,NEO ,OMG ,ICX ,LISK ,WTC

O no, the right time was this afternoon, you're too late now!  just kidding mate, it's a good discount time to get in.

I think ETH is a solid choince, but I'm missing DeepOnion and Cardano ADA on your list. My advice would be to investigate those a bit. And if we're at it, check out Oyster Pearl too. I'm curious if these coins will change your list.

The time you spend is really worth and is going to profit you as you have chosen some of best coins. You can still include Bitcoin, Ripple, Monero and Litecoin as these coins growth trend are really promising. Split some into these coins as well.  No need to wait for even a year to gain more profits. ETH,  BTC,  Neo,  Ripple,  Monero and LTC would certainly fill your wallets with more gains.

Not bad actually, LISK is also on my list. If you take a look into their code updates, you will find out that they are really a promising project.
Let's see what will come out

looks like you have done your research ETH NEO are great choices

[StochasticOrder]

ETH is a solid investment to have as a type of reserve currency where you store your wealth when you are in between trades. If you want a more conservative approach you could maintain your portfolio with majority ETH as it is pretty cheap right now and has the best potential out of the major name brand coins. When looking at altcoins they are a lot more volatile and it's hard to justify a long position when you can make a lot flipping it on the short term trends. If you go for ICOs be careful about the scams and make sure to review the white papers and background info so you don't get caught in a pump and dump scheme.

VEN may not be a good choice, because there's a lot of bad news about it.
I think you can look at the GXS,Thekey, QTUM and these are some of the good choices.

Qtum, Neo, Waves, COSS, OMG, ENG and ZEC for now, are pretty good choices for me. These coins for the long term I am so sure they won’t just fail me when it comes to profit and the fact that they will be extremely embraced by new investors. However, I am surprised the OP did not even mention BTC on that list, or maybe because it is an altcoin thread, he decided to exempt that or he just decided he is done with BTC? That is always the first on my list before any other coin comes to mind.

I think it is the right time now to invest.

[cryptoblue]

Don't invest all your money in a single coin, diversify your portfolio and invest in 15 to 20 coins. It is the right time for investment, as the price of most cryptocurrencies have been down. It would be profitable in the long-term.

[Bitcoininspace]

A lot of newcomers who want to immediately make money on crypto currencies are constantly wondering when is the best time to invest. So it has come. Probably the price will be even lower tomorrow and it will be much more profitable for buying altcoins.

I m looking on Waves, SIA, ADA, XEM. Hope they will bounce very good. There are good news about LTC. IMHO it can make big green candle too. Buy more eth to participate new ICOs)

Personally, for someone like me, I am not going to be making a huge mistake of not having waves on that kind of list. Also with the LTC Litepay (payment system), I am sure there is going to be a good time for it as well. Participating in ICOs though is not for everybody as he will need to be ready to dig out information before investing in anyone and that is pretty good work on its own.

[sserge009]

The highest priority I would give to the etherium, maybe Neo has the potential for growth. Perhaps not the best time for such a question, but why not bitcoin? especially when it comes to long-term prospects

I've currently holding ADA, Ptoy, Sia and Hempcoin which I believe that this skyrocketing after FUD's will be over. I've doubt Waves capability cause as I've recall their historic market record, it looks like it won't make a good performance last year. Hope that market trend will bounce back and so we can move for another steps( sell and buy other coins).

Now is the perfect time since the currencies have some what reached stability and will start to rise back anytime soon again. You do have a good list. Give top priority to Ethereum (ETH), Stellar (XLM) and IOTA. All three of them have a good potential to give you some nice profits.

I hope you bought BTC when you have the chance it dips to $6k range last bloodbath,if you did that you probably earned almost 20% then you should buy the alts using the BTC you have bought in the market crash.If i were you i bought that once bitcoin so you would have instant profits when the market has recovered few hours from the bloodbath,and then you are buying a lot of altcoins to invest or trade because the perfect timing to get into the market is when the market bleeds,when people are too scared to do anything.

[nextel]

For long term holding, it should be Ripple, Nem, Stellar, Cardano, Tron and other low priced top Altcoins that had proven their worth of investment. In fact, Millions of dollars of trades everyday were into these coins.
They are growing in price everyday or every week or every month so if you're holding it least a year then surely they will surely be doubled, tripled or more because there are pumping and in the future they will be widely used as Cryptocurrency is the future of our money and people would use it like what they used their money in daily basis.

Well in my opinion I am not suggesting Ripple so much, Is not that I am not trusting it that it can make a big pump in the future but I am having doubts on where can they get that so many market cap that recently surpasses ETH, But well it just seems unbelievable to see it goes to the 3rd level and without it's value pump, Well it is just my opinion, I really think Cardano, NEM, IOTA, NEO, And ETN can be a great deal to invest, But still be careful in investing and research first before engaging.

[Lerikaweb]

i would say Ethereum, it is my favourute coin:) but don't sit for too long on your bench, it may be too late. Rares go up and down by 20% a day. I hope i won't see your regret post in altcoin discussion.

[Rabbai89]

Just recently and even now are still really good times to get in!

[dmitpetrov]

In my opinion, only ETH, NEO, OMG, LISK are promising coins. Good option to invest for long term. Wait one year or more.

Based on the information I get, it looks like the MNX coins have good prospects. because MNX has its own explorer, parking system, and exchanger itself. MNX later there will be a debit card. and this is a coin that can be dimining and the level of difficulty is still low.
