Hi i´d like to make a short pitch for my fav altcoin (steemit comes maybe close but i have ong emotional bond with NXT).
Now that the NXT 2.0 is on the way and Ardor is being implemented, i really think the way dev´s have made an incentive to keep your NXT´s (you NXT balance following up to the release of Ardor will give you Ardor coins essentially for free, just for keeping them and forging on the network). This makes NXT a good investment since prices are likely to stay stable.
I also like how NXT Asset Exchange gives us that are "no entetys" in the real banking world a change to both participate in inovative new small buisness ideas around the world. and also gives us the chance to have our own Ideas "crowdfunded" withing a trusting comunity.
The coin has a strong team og dedicated supporters even tough it is not one of "the big guys on the block".
Investing now while prices are cheap, giving you Ardors. and i am pretty sure NXT 2.0 and Ardor release wil see some pretty steep price hikes around the 12.Okt.
Just my 2cents on the altcoin market. i know it´s not a pump coin and wont make you millionares over night, but it´s a safe stable coin that has potential and (possibly hype and pump in the comming months at Ardor release).
Other coins to watch for REAL gains are NEXUS (NIRO), verry good tecnology, and enthusiastic but small number of followers as is, but verry likely to break the 9000 satoshi wall anyday now, and possibly for a pump.
Evergreen and Tesla also have nice feel to them, and possibilitys for rise, they can be gotten cheap atm.
I would like to state that i am no expert, and also would like to hear what your portfolio and toughts on the future market in the short and long term are.
