Invest in the basic coins to get 100% profit in the future because these coins form the market and new trends 

when you say the basic coin then it means we need to invest in bitcoin because bitcoin is the most popular coin in the cryptocurrency and bitcoin has a great chance to increase higher soon. and right now, bitcoin is trying to get a good position in the market and trying to reach the highest price again. I am sure that soon, the price can reach the highest price again and we are still on the right way to see this.

Neo will be a worthwhile investment project that is connected to China's huge market, and Neo needs some policy support to make it possible to burst into huge bursts of energy.

Neo and Tron and Eos all these coins are worth investing coins in this year

I'll invest 20% of my money in Npxs this coin, which will release the POS interest over the next three years, by calculating that you will get three times times the return on your current investment in three years.

Ada and eth should be the most worthwhile investment. If the bull market comes, the increase of Ada and eth should be much greater than that of BTC, so it is worth investing in these two altcoin.

Always bitcoin is the best Cryptocurrency to invest, because the profit will be more when compared to other coins. If you want to invest on other altcoins then go to coinmarketcap and select the top ten coins from the list and check the chart and recent growth of that coin. Then you can invest on those coins then only it will give more profit in future. Coinmarketcap will help you to find the good growing coins.

I will take a bet on the docademic because it us a medical project token. It has done close to a 900% increase since its launch into the market and at the moment it is still trending above its ICO price. Docademic is a life concerned project and things regarding life and health issues will definitely have its stay.

Those pick aren't bad in fact it is suitable for long term trade. Yeah it's the best choice for having good old coins for quite some time then release it after of course the risk might be higher than expected but it's worth a shot since you can earn it anyways if it loses more than the half of the original price as long as you hold it until the end.

Im glad you made deep analysis like that which you have represented in the OP however with the current situation it should be clear to you and most of the investors that BTC looks the bestest investment of all time. 

A always it has already broken the records of getting into the bull run. Well it may happen that it will come down after reaching such higher prices, but one thing is sure here it will go back to even higher prices after that.

This is what real BTC is and its cyclic change will always profit us. If you are smart enough then just buy it and HODL.

A lot of people are waiting for IPFs this project, perhaps this is a new mining mechanism, to encrypt the world of some systems will bring great changes, I am still waiting for it.

[geberger]

Neo is the most prefered coin to invest the main reason behind neo coin is their development and tie-ups we can expect neo coin to rise to top 5 crypto coins

Yeah the price of bitcoin is increasing day by day and I think that till the end of the year it would cross its previous peak, but what about the next year. Would the price collapsed again? I think that this time it would not happen because the price is now on the right track and is normal. There would be no more pump and dump in the price and will increase consistently.

[yonjitsu]

How about investing in cryptocurrency that is very promising and profitable in short term or long term? If you can made up your mind and invest in bitcoin, then you are having a very good decision. If you want diversified investment too, select those cryptocurrencies that are in the top list.

I’m going to be accumulating the majority of the coins below over the course of 2018 Q1—I’m a big believer in a diversified portfolio.

Especially in crypto.

I split coins into 3 tiers. Coins in tiers 1 & 2 I will be continuously adding to my holdings throughout Q1.

I based these tiers on my investment strategy, I highly suggest creating a strategy before investing in anything.

You need to have a goal that you’re working towards, and a framework for how you want to reach that goal.

My goal is to increase my holdings of Tier 1 & 2 coins, by trading coins from tier 3 on a short-medium time frame (2–6 months).

I also margin trade Tier 1 & 2 coins and use profits to increase my overall $BTC position.

Don’t margin trade.

It’s bad.

Not margin trading is rule #8 in my “10 Crypto Commandments”.

Some of these coins I don’t believe in as long term investments.

Most of the time, the criteria I use to pick coins starts fundamentally with the team, roadmap, and community.

Once I’ve deemed a coin as “Fundamentally Strong”, I then go into the charts and apply Technical Analysis to determine if I can get a solid entry point.

Sometimes, I’ll see a coin I don’t think will last in the long run, but the chart is just too pretty to say no. I will denote these coins with an [X] by their name.

Cliche Disclaimer: none of this is financial advice, don’t even listen to me, I’m a random person on the internet — I could be full of sh*t and you wouldn’t know it.

Do your own research and only ever invest what you can afford to lose.

Tier 1

Bitcoin ($BTC)

I always hold at least a little BTC. Bitcoin is the market leader, and until that changes, I will always hedge against my Altcoin investments with Bitcoin. I typically have any where from 10–30% of my portfolio in Bitcoin depending on Bitcoin dominance at that time.

Bitcoin dominance refers to the percentage of the total cryptocurrency market share which is held by Bitcoin. You can check the live stat here.

The link also shows the market dominance of the other major coins on the market- spend some time getting to know the chart and notice how coins market caps correlate negatively or positively with each other.

Understanding the market cycles of crypto is pivotal to successful investing.

Tier 2

Neo ($NEO) & Ethereum ($ETH)

ETH and NEO are competitors. They solve the same problems, are both serious coins with large market caps, and I hold both as long term investments.

I’m not hedging against my bets by investing in competitors. It’s feasible to me that these two entities could co-exist in the future in a fashion similar to how Apple and Samsung coexist.

I think the all-time best currency for investing in crypto currency is bitcoin there is no other doubt that if you want to more time then there are many choices available for you it also be profitable make sure it will not affect your profit and hopefully it will be profitable in your future .

We may have different opinion on which coin you would want to hear or suggest to invest?  Market is Volatile, anything can happen in the market, price value of every coins in the market as posted may differed in Market status, market structures, level of confidence by the investors, and the volume of investment put in by the investors in the market.

If you are looking for a long term investment, cryptocurrencies are still at very early stage. Every one of them comes with big risk and probably high return. To put things in perspective.I would suggest Ethereum and Bitcoin.
Both have the potential to become adopted by the mainstream by 2020, anyone who buys now is an early(ish) adopter and could profit incredibly.

Etehrum is expanding the community. For me, investing in etehrum will be the right choice. I believe etehrum will become stronger in 2018.

I am not agree with you, because price of bitcoin is getting better so we should prefer buying the coin which will be low in price, bitcoin is not too much high in price and buying bitcoin right now can give us profit, as long term investment nothing can be more valuable than bitcoin, because when we hold bitcoin it surely rise in price and we get profit at the end, so now is the best time to buy some bitcoin and hold them till the end of 2018, I am sure you will not regret for your decision.

That ethereum coin is also I would like to invest this 2018, because it has many uses, it can be use directly as gas for tokens to be traded in the different sites  , and it is establishing its name in the coin market next to bitcoin and aside from it, it is not big value when we want to invest unlike bitcoin which has a great value for investment.

If you have lots of money then bitcoin should be your first choice and if you have small investment then you have different options for investment. Ethereum is on the top in Altcoin and then Ripple and litecoin and many more. All are good and will give you good profits in the future, just need patience and courage and if you have these qualities then you can earn money from crypto.

In my opinion it is bitcoin only in which I will invest in 2018 also.Although the prices are down from quite some time but still it is the number one cryptocurrency in the market and has a lot of potential to create new records.Bitcoin has a lot of users all over the world.It is banned in some nations but still many support it also.Although there are some fluctuations in the price of bitcoin but still people prefer it alot.People hold their bitcoins for future rise in price.

The amount of money which you have saved to make an investment in the world of the crypto currency is the most important thing which will affect the most when it will come to deciding the coin in which you must make an investment. If you have enough of the money, then the best possible coin which is available for you in bitcoin and that investing in this coin will surely help you in getting much richer.

[manismanja]

I think for investment in 2018 you can see from the coin who memmiliki project and the development is very good, for now I invest in token localcoinswap (LCS) I will store my tokens until the price becomes very expensive.

[shelemiah31]

You should invest bitcoin as your cryptocurrency.It is a great investment for the future.Though the price is not stable but it ill surely benefit you and your family financially.
