What is the best Alt coin to invest in currently? $10k to Invest

[maldinik80]

Try some POS coins, keep them and see them grow in a few years...earning interest without doing anything

Buy megacoin... once these asic miners for script hit the market.  The alt coin wars will begin.

Many shitcoins will die with huge fluctuations in difficulty and kimoto's gravity well will protect megacoin from attacks.

Anon coin has also adopted this feature.

Long term I believe megacoin will perform the best.

Florincoin... and no I will not tell you why because......you wouldn't believe it either way...

[gnode]

Stablecoin, SBC for the sole reason that it is going to increase at least 3x from it present price. It is a short term winner.

I second Megacoin! It is one of the most professionally backed coins, and on its way back up further than it was before!

[digitalindustry]

Buy the dips  - hold long term 5K - speculate 5K .

+1 i like this
but my take is on DIME
just my cent

[Timetwister]

Nxt. It's the only one really innovative. But I'd invest the majority in BTC.

I keep hearing negative info about Nxt, even though it's escalating in price.
I own BTC. I bought a bunch at $13 and now have some left, but not too many.
Since they are valued high right now, and all cryptos climb when BTC climbs, I figured on diversifying a little.
Especially into some that are very promising and some that are very speculative.

CATcoin for the short-middle term

[bitrebel]

Picked up .5 BTC worth of Earthcoin

Thanks everyone!

[Netnox]

Buy QRK, MEC or WDC

I believe these 3 will do well. CoinMKT chose these 3 to add aswell.

+1 for NXT the first altcoin built from the ground up with all new code.

Bought .5 Btc worth of IXcoin

Still looking.

Thanks everyone.

The past week I have been buying up IXCoin as well. its so cheap and more people are getting exposed to it from merge mining providers like cex.io/ghash.io Ive been lurking on a few other crypto forums and there is alot of noise starting to accumulate about this alt coin. IXCoin is second to Namecoin in age, or better stated its one of the oldest coin to be based off the BTC code set.funny that i come across this thread to see IXCoin mentioned.

I would buy a lot of WDC (Worldcoins) they dropped and are cheap to buy at the moment, some LTC and BTC (just in case). Also I would spread some little money to some cheap Sexcoins, Zetacoins and maybe Noirebits. So if one of them goes up you earned a lot and if not you will loose nearly nothing.

It would be useful if people posted their reasons for backing certain coins instead of just spewing a list of the ones they like. Tell us why you like them.

I like Worldcoin at the moment. If everything goes to plan they'll shoot up in value when Scharmbeck goes public in February, and the general angle of trying to be appealing to merchants seems like a winner to me. Most altcoins currently suffer from the fact that you can't do anything with them besides trade them for BTC. Their latest wallet also has a nifty business-blue design.

I thought NXT was cool for an afternoon until I realised that they haven't published their source code and there is only one exchange, which doesn't even have HTTPS! I'm avoiding it for the time being.

Buy some dirt cheap LottoCoin (LOT) at coinedup.com before they get listet at Cryptsy (already approved by Vern).

Agree with this. Every coin that hits cryptsy gains an immense value. If its already on cryptsy then its too late, you should catch them right before.

Lottocoin is the best candidate to go up there. currently very under-valued (dirt cheap) and easy to mine. good opportunity for investors as well.

very very soon it wont be good. price will be high and everyone and their dog will start mining it thus difficulty will rise.

[nobodysbusiness]

This may not be a good idea, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. I've recently started investing some very small amounts, spreading them across multiple types of VERY cheap crappy coins.

You could spend 0.05 BTC on each of IFC, XNC, ASC, DVC, GME, NET, and a few others. They're so cheap that you'd need to use LTC to buy them on cryptsy. You'll probably lose out of buying crappy coins like that, but they're so cheap that if even one of them goes up a lot, you could easily make a lot. If not, you haven't lost much.
