What's your favourite Alt-Coin, and why?

[_BlackStar]

I voted ltc but monero, eth, doge are too my favorite alts. Doge is for the lulz (cheap too), ltc is cheap and wellknown, xmr is good for staying anonymous, eth is cool because smart contracts and shiet. There are other good alts too in your list but I think eth, ltc, doge and xmr are the best ones overall. Bnb for example can’t survive without binance. It is a good alt as long as binance is operational but the moment binance goes down, bnb will go down with it and I don’t like to bet on binance’s well being. I would rather hold a decentralized project like ltc instead. Binance or any other exchange may go down but ltc will live on regardless.

I'm happy to tell you that I also like POW coin over others - but I think taking advantage of the good opportunities of some other altcoins like ETH and BNB wouldn't hurt either. ETH was one of the altcoins that caught my attention early on - but I don't make it more than 5% of my investment portfolio because I tend to focus on bitcoin in the long term.

Ethereum has given me commensurate returns as far as I invested a small budget there - but regarding BNB, it is just a temporary investment asset for a short-term plan. LTC is certainly better compare thousands of other altcoin from future potential - but that doesn't mean BNB and Ethreuem don't have it.

This question is repeated periodically and you will get a mixture of answers, but it is useless. All of us view alternative currencies as a short-term investment, and since you are investing, all you are looking for is the highest return of profits and not any other details.
Obtaining the highest return means that you are trading, which means buying and selling in the short-term, and therefore all the suggestions here will not be valid for the next week.
The best investment is Bitcoin as a long-term investment, and you should look for opportunities for short-term investment.

My favorites are those who brings good profit to me as they continue to grow over time.
ETH and BNB is on my top list as they are on a better position now and of course a lot of small tokens that also brings profit to me. Altcoins are ok in general, all you have to do is to choose the best project to invest with and know when to buy and sell, take advantage of the current market trend and you’ll be good for sure.

That’s also in my top list and I just want to add here SOL because over the past week it moves like crazy and having a 1,000% of increase, lucky to those who have this and fortunately I was able to buy at a cheaper price too. Now I have to watch it again and wait for a good time to buy again better to check SOL too and join this crazy trend, the market is rising now better to choose your best altcoins wisely.

When dogecoin was much cheaper I would use it for gambling. Once it attracted attention from Musk and started pumping I swapped it for BTC. The community became really annoying and obsessed with Elon Musk. It was no longer fun to hold this coin so I dumped it. It's difficult to find interest in altcoins aside from just speculating. There are some privacy coins with interesting features but lack of businesses and exchange support has kept their prices depressed. I have dumped most of my altcoins after their prices started coming down in the bear market. I was attracted by the slick marketing and potential of high returns but in the end they didn't offer enough to compete with Bitcoin.

[Jaycoinz]

I think favorite altcoin would be Ethereum not because I have used or currently holding it but because it is way up there with Bitcoin at the top. There are millions of altcoins there but the fact that some of do tend to dump easily make them have a bad name in the cryptocurrency industry and this is why I choose Ethereum, because for some reason Ethereum has been there with Bitcoin at the top and still survival up there, infact some would argue that Bitcoin being the king of crypto, Ethereum is second followed by it.

Altcoins are not trustable therefore beside bitcoin we cannot trust any other coin. But if there is comparison among altcoins then ethereum is a good option which can reduces your fear of lossing and will enhance your trust on altcoins. Ethereum can build your trust but other altcoins are not as much profitable as that of bitcoin and Ethereum.

Every person's favorite coin is bitcoin and due to disappearing nature of altcoins people are not so much interested in altcoin's investmen. Some altcoins are good like matic but people when examined the zero value of most of altcoins after sometimes and also there are lots of scam coins in altcoins therefore interest for altcoins become diminish.

My first choice is Bitcoin but the most preferred altcoin is Ethereum. We know that Ethereum is one and only among thousands of altcoins. Ethereum is standing at $2048 in line with the Bitcoin market. While the unique altcoin market has not grown with Bitcoin, Ethereum has grown with Bitcoin. But Ethereum may be unpopular with some people due to high transaction fees but I think it will decline very quickly and return to normal. Rest assured that Ethereum will recover its market and set a new ATH record.

From a topic link that is shared on this thread, it is clear that similar topic like this has been started before this one by another member of this forum. But since this one is not locked, I can as well make my contributions here, because i bumped into it first

Although I've not invested in any altcoins before, the only cryptocurrency that i have interest in for now is bitcoin. But from my personal research about altcoins and from the way people rate them, i think that ethereum, should be my preference in all the altcoins. I believe that in the rating of all cryptocurrencies, after bitcoin, ethereum follows, so if i were I novice that is looking for the best altcoins to invest in, with all the ratings in Google and in this forum, it'll have to be ethereum. This is by no means downgrading other reputable altcoins. I hope to have another crypto investment one day, to complement the bitcoin investment that i have, and when I'm ready for that, it'll have to be ethereum.

[Solokan]

I'm sure most people will choose ethereum as the main altcoin of choice, because if you look at the fundamentals and the project, of course ethereum is very good and has the potential to have a good future.

and I actually hold a lot of altcoins besides ethereum, although there aren't many, and among them my favorite altcoin is Fantom(Ftm) polkadot, and I also have a mainstay meme coin, namely pepe coin. and the reason I hold Pepe coins is because I see that Pepe coins are still cheap and I also hope that Pepe coins will rise very high during the bull run, but still the number of altcoins that I hold a lot is ethereum because ethereum can still be called the king of altcoins. and always trending on the market.

but there are already people who have created topics like this, namely: Bitcoin barrel

I dont have any favorite crypto coin or project. All I am interested is to make profits from the market. Any coin that tend to give me profits is what I could hold more and buy more of it. We don't have to be emotional in the market, we are in to make the profits and leave without no trace. Since there are many crypto projects in the market, we can buy any cryptocurrency project of our choice taking the risk of investing in the project with a better reward if the project become successful and give us better profits.

Or, why not, Dogecoin, the funny coin?

Pick your favourite and reply here why you love it!

I have voted, Ethereum is the best for me.
why not Doge or meme coin?
For me, I'm not a high risk taker, so ignore memecoin

Even if I must choose other altcoins aside Ethereum, I will go for BNB and Matic, it will never be to meme coins.

there are rumour that Ethereum ETF is on the way, it will be good news if that truly happens for anyone that heaviy bag holding ethereum because it'd mean instant increase in value.
not to mention the fact that ethereum has been eager breaking through its resistance, i'm sure ethereum will reach $3k in no time, after all the ATH is far beyond that point.
this is the thing that many favour with coin like ethereum aside from the fact that liquidity is abundant, also the market capitalization is huge, its also being accepted everywhere even ETF creating opportunities for holders to get profit from holding it.
aside from ethereum I guess is also the same smart contract based blockchain like matic that i'd favor, the fundamental doesn't lie its just as good as ethereum but lower market cap and also lower price.

What's your favourite cryptocurrency besides Bitcoin?

Maybe Monero, with its privacy, scalability and fair mining?
Ethereum, with its innovative smart contracts?
Maybe Litecoin, the old and trusted low-fee coin?
Or Bitcoin Cash, which tries to follow Satoshi's vision?
Or, why not, Dogecoin, the funny coin?

Cool to see ethereum leading, that is also my choice as well. I mean being on the side of the winner is not a wrong thing when the money is on the line. Yes, the David vs goliath story is a tale as old as time and people love it when a smaller opponent wins, but I am not using my money to make that happen, I think ETH is second for a reason and that's why I picked that one. It makes sense to a point because it allows you to make a lot better return. The others that are not ranked as high has a risk, some of these are not even ranked all that well, and could drop on the next bull run and be replaced by something new.

So, it makes more sense to put your money into ETH, and assume that it will keep its second place, and get closer to bitcoin and you will make a bigger return. This is of course just assumption, but to assume second highest rank to stay there is better than assuming 11th ranked would stay there, because that one is a lot more riskier in the end.

[Publictalk792]

It is always good to discuss favorite cryptocurrencies. Personally I like Ethereum. Its innovative smart contract functionality has revolutionized the blockchain space. The Ethereum network scalability improvements are also promising for its future growth and adoption. Additionally, the vibrant Ethereum community and the constant development of new projects on the platform make it an excellent choice for me. I must admit that Dogecoin fun nature also brings a smile to my face

Doge coin has been my favorite meme coin for quiet a long period of time because of how well I have benefited from dodge coin, few years back I bought dodge coin, that was in 2020 I left it for two years and back in 2022 I sol off and I made a very good profit from it and since then I've always gat my eyes on doge and have gotten to love it as one of my favorites meme coins. So basically the profit I got hodling doge had made me developed that love for dodge coin.

Great for you bro but it would be better to add other altcoins, just in case DOGE won't repeat that same thing again because like you said it was only just a meme coin and we all know meme coins, right? They lack in utility or they don't have any at all. Some are only lucky that they are being hyped/manipulated by the big people and those who invest on them are also lucky to earn a profit.

Aside from the profit, Dogecoin still have other charms on why there are people who have developed a liking for it. It has a cute logo and a cute back story. We should only treat it this way and not in a serious manner that we will put most of our wealth on it and bet that it will rise more in the nearest future.

[tromp]

Maybe Monero, with its privacy, scalability and fair mining?

40% of all (soft) supply emitted in just the first year? Launched with a crippled PoW? Not my top choice of fair mining.

I vote the the coin that has the fairest emission: 1 coin per second forever.

There is nothing better in the world than a bitcoin.

Maybe Monero, with its privacy, scalability and fair mining?

Monero may turn into a coin-outcast due to its privacy (which regulators don’t like), which will only be traded in narrow circles (exchangers).

Ethereum, with its innovative smart contracts?

Everyone likes the profitability of Ethereum, not a smart contracts.

Let the founders solve the issue of endless emission and premine / early investors.

Maybe Litecoin, the old and trusted low-fee coin?

Who needs this old slag that even the founder abandoned?

Or Bitcoin Cash, which tries to follow Satoshi's vision?

Please don't mention this trash in a decent forum.

Or, why not, Dogecoin, the funny coin?

Of course NOT, that sunny shitcoin.

Don't like any of it. It's all garbage.

You can play around with these coins a little, but it’s better to get rid of them quickly.

you can not go wrong with doge because of its price. it's still the cheapest coin that is above the rank of the majority of the altcoins listed in big exchanges, they beat it all despite doge being just the start of a joke.

and it has the use case that one would need who gambles around in crypto. almost all casinos you can see in crypto, i bet doge is accepted. for doge as an investment, it is also favorable because its already popular. if it goes up every bull market, it sure will do this coming bull run. last but not the least, the transaction fee of BTC that users complain all the time during bull run is not happening with doge.

You're right - its success is driven by community charm and social excitement, not by how useful it is. The strength of human belief should not be underestimated, though. This is demonstrated by Dogecoin's longevity.

The cute image and background of Dogecoin make it look good,a. More than its financial strength, its attraction comes from its cultural value. Different types of crypto are great for the market. A more well-balanced collection might include coins that are very useful, have innovative technology, or have support from the community. Coins that offer new ways to fix problems in the real world, make technology better in unique ways, or have a strong, loyal community could be investments in the technology and ideas of the future.

Dogecoin has a place in the cryptocurrency world, but it shouldnt be seen as a real investment plan. Instead, it should be seen as a symbol of how weird and unpredictable cryptocurrency can be. We should enjoy its appeal, but before we invest, we should know what part it plays in the crypto ecosystem.
