A couple weeks ago the Crypto Bug bit me. I am looking at it as a medium to long term investment to supplement my meager 401k. I don't really have a lot of disposable cash so I plan on investing $20-50 a paycheck into altcoins. Although Bitcoin and Etherium are the "big boys" on the block...chain (sorry I couldn't resist), I feel the time for a small time investor such as myself to get into them has passed. It seems it would take a lot more market movent to double or triple my money in BTC then it would in an up and coming coin that's valued at a few cents.
Currently I'm putting my money in the following:
Stratis
EOS
AMP
SC
XEM
XRP
STEEM
I intend to hold these for 5 years or more. I don't have the nerves or the knowledge for day trading yet. I'd like to hear your thoughts on my choice of coins so far as a long term investment. I'm not concerned about the flavor of the day... I'm looking for companies that have a solid product that I can see a use for in the near future as well as a solid development team. I'd like to hear your suggestions for other low cost coins with a bright future.
Other coins I'm currently looking into for future investment include:
NXT
PAY
MRV
