When I speak about investing into alt coins, I am not necessarily stating which alt coin I believe to be the best (Ethereum), but rather which alt coins I believe are sleeping right now, but due to their strong tech and team, are due for an explosion at some point. I can't help but feel that I have somewhat missed the train on coins like Ethereum, Dash, Bitcoin, etc., even though I know that they all still have room to grow. I felt like I missed the train on Ethereum last month and it has gone up 300 percent since then. That being said, here is my list of high-upside coins
LISK
This project has the potential to be HUGE, Ethereum level huge, where people will be building apps using Javascript on their platform. I bought into it at a dollar 2 weeks ago, and it is now hovering around 4 dollars. I believe that this coin will explode like Ethereum did last year.GOLEM- I am extremely interested in this project and what it has built on the Ethereum platform, large upside. It's goal in a nutshell is to create an accessible supercomputer that will rent out computing power for projects that require high-level computing.
NEM- Nem has been very quiet/ declining over the last month, so I have actually pulled my money out of it and have gone into DGB (which then proceeded to drop 60 percent in two days), but I really believe in NEM in the long-term, and as soon as I see it poised for a breakout, I'm going to be throwing my money back in.
RIPPLE- Like NEM, I believe strongly in RIPPLE, and although it has been quiet recently, I know that RIPPLE can explode at any point in time. RIPPLE is where I have made the majority of my money in crypto, and I think it would be foolish to sell out of it, because RIPPLE has a strong usage-case with banks, extremely fast and efficient technology for overseas bank transactions, and banks are signing onto it daily. I believe in their team, and even though RIPPLE has a lot of haters because of its ties with the banks, just remember that where the banks are, so is the money. I have no idea how high RIPPLE will go in the future, although I suspect not as high as the 3 alts I have listed above.
DIGIBYTE- Obviously the hottest coin in cryptocurrency for the past few months. It took a huge dip a few days ago, but I believe that this coin is a long-term hold, that could also garner short-term rewards. The reason for the crash was because it was extremely hyped up by people because of its involvement in a Citi-Bank competition, and after it lost that competition, it dropped like a rock. I didn't sell any though, because as I said, I believe in the tech behind this coin, and I can see it at a dollar by the end of next year.
