Hello Steemians, this is a short overview of my top 3 cryptopicks for the long term. Please notice that this list will not contain any "exchange value" only coins, as they are well boring and in my eyes easy to replace. Of course bitcoin will at least mid term always be the #1, I don't argue with that... However, it may not be the fastest growing in terms of market cap. Let's start.
1. Factom (FCT)
I personally think that Factom is by far the most undervalued coin, technology.. whatever you wanna call it. It's usecase to safely protect data is the absolute most important things for companies around the world. No matter how large they all. It's the plate to the bread+butter if you'd like to say so. A blockchain is the absolute perfect way to ensure the integrity of such. Factom has an extremely experienced team to back the project up. If a major company contracts them next year you will see the price flying to the moon.
2. IOTA (IOT)
The blockchain is without a doubt the most momentous invention of the last few years. However, if you're getting back on the ground you notice, that there are major issues that will not suite the need of IOT devices or AI based systems like self driving cars. I know that this technology is still in beta, but if it manages to perform in a real world scenario IOTA could be the bitcoin of 2010.
3. Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum might not be so surprising. It's the first one that offered the possibility to develop on top of a blockchain and therefore has many dependencies already. Also, there's a huge community behind it that isn't as "stubborn" as bitcoins. I think it's price will adjust to bitcoins market cap again.
Please notice that this is no financial consulting, but rather some of my thoughts. Don't invest more that you can afford to lose. If there's a bubble and it popps that won't just hit bitcoin. In this sense, have a nice day and spend some time with your family! :)
