Eth(coin) Monero(coin) Iconomi(ico token) ZCASH BTC/bch, whichever is the winner in the race to provide a true peer to peer currency... Don't like dash for some odd reason even though it's been on a tear the past month..

OMG - seems to be a good and smart team POT - because its pot. FTC - I remember back in the day it was BTC, LTC, and FTC.... The other two have done well, and it makes me wonder if Feathers time will come next...
I only own those three

For what it's worth, my Top 5 isn't necessarily centered around cryptocurrencies specifically, but primarily independent platform projects that design their own custom use distributed mechanism, which in many cases extends well beyond a simple cryptocurrency function (but which all have coins or tokens available for use and security).
- Bitcoin - BTC - It's the de facto settlement layer for the crypto sector. Not really panning out as a currency given the lack of consensus regarding scaling in efforts to avoid high transaction fees and slow transaction speeds, even as there are a few potential solutions such as the Lightning Network being floated. Nevertheless, it's the oldest blockchain, the first demonstrable use of the concept, and new developers are consistently using the original BTC blockchain to airdrop new coins in order to reach a diverse audience on day one of issue. For these reasons, even if Satoshi's vision of BTC as a viable currency never pans out, I believe BTC will persist as a settlement layer; at least until quantum computing comes into its own, but at that point all crypto bets are off until they scale to a new cryptographic/technology standard.
- Ethereum - ETH - A more functional virtual machine, distributed computing power that integrates custom programming ability for the use distributed applications (dApps) and so called smart contracts that eliminate counterparty risk. Considerably more flexible than Bitcoin with more case uses and a large group of contributors who appear able to function relatively cohesively in developing and implementing improvements for the platform. Widely adopted and actively used as a vehicle for third party fundraising via Initial Coin Offerings, with active work on scaling projects (e.g. sharding, raiden, etc) and increased privacy via the ability to use zero knowledge proofs, ring signatures and the like; the Ethereum platform has a pretty big jump on the competition, not to say they can't be unseated but right here, right now, they are a leader of the pack. Click here to read a 3-5 year project outlook from Ethereum's founder.
- Neo - NEO - China based virtual machine and distributed ledger project, very similar to Ethereum although functional in more widespread programming languages which could drive increased adoption. Active community of developers and a present day leader of the pack, particularly for Asian economies. Read more at Neo.org.
- Cardano - ADA - An open source virtual machine project sponsored by IOHK with a deep team of engineers focused on taking a scientific approach toward aggregating the most successful implementations from the thousands of existing distributed ledger platforms into a cohesive and flexible layered platform that more adequately addresses scalability concerns with balanced consideration of regulatory and privacy needs. Review their roadmap here.
- OmiseGo - OMG - This is one of the more developed projects being built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, headed by financial services company (Omise) that has a strong foothold with existing operations as a payment gateway service operating in Southeast Asia. Well positioned to integrate blockchain technology for greater efficiencies in their core product, which should start seeing real world use within the coming months. Read more at OmiseGo.network.
Honorable mentions: - Monero (XMR) - For increased privacy and used strictly as a cryptocurrency
- Ripple (XRP) - For formal banking implementation and collaboration
- Lisk (LSK) - For implementing parallel private company blockchains using a proprietary Java based software development kit.
- Power Ledger (POWR) - For energy trading, enabling consumers and businesses to sell surplus solar power to neighbors. Real use case in Australia.
Super-speculative high risk "mad money" play:- Neblio (NEBL) - For implementing parallel private company blockchains using a multitude of common programming languages via Restful API's. Similar to Stratis (STRAT). Extremely small team though, extremely speculative.

SALT, its a lending platform, the retail price is 25 $, i see it hit 20$ then stall around that when the platform will launch in not much. i wont intend to have money lended but the money was good on this shit coin. bought 400 $ at 2$ its now at 8,60. woot
MXR (Monero) seems to be the best private technologie from what i heard also made a 80% since i bought making money off people buying drugs, guns and slave, what a time to be alive
EDG (Edgeless) Ethereum Casino, the first that will have a real license, its still under 2$. i mean any cryptotrader has that gambling problem know i mean will be fun to gamble too when the platform will launch
ETH transaction is faster then BTC,
OMG i have no idea what this do, just following trends like a fagget tbh
but yea im just shilling on coins i bought tbh

Very solid list, and NEO in particular keeps coming up over and over in everything I read or watch about whats currently hot.

Neglecting to mention IOTA was a faux pas on my part. They have not focused on marketing/hyping their product but instead have been quietly negotiating business relationships with major industry players like Microsoft, and their coin has appreciated over 1000% in the last month alone, now sitting at the fifth most valuable cryptocurrency. The platform boasts a unique blockless ledger called "Tangle" with zero transaction fees. Assuredly worth being part of a diversified crypto portfolio.

I'm now the proud owner of some 3500 iotas. We shall see if it turns out, btc has been on a tear, around 14k now. I just figure it might be a good idea and lets me diversify a little.

That figures, soon as I trade in a btc for some iotas, iota drops and btc shoots up. I do think btc is due for a pullback, over due in fact. I'm holding off buying until it settles down som

BTC is gonna shoot up for at least another week, assuming futures/margin trading comes out on schedule.
If margin trading doesn't burst the bubble, shots fired in Korea will...Lot's of investors sitting in China, right across that border where they are releasing nuclear survival tips.

actually 15k and change. It bounces up and down all the time. I do think there is a pullback coming. They say buy the rumor and sell the news. Rumor was it would be listed on an exchange, news is monday it happens. I'm buying some now to replace what I sold near the top but I think its going down. By buying I lock in my profit and avoid the risk it will just keep going up like there is no end to the rise. If it goes down I buy heavy. Been buying heavily, sold some at 16 to 17 yesterday and day before.
I think eventually iota and others will rise more percentage wise than btc but who knows?

I got some litecoin at $102, it's up to $165 today. Yay!
I'm curious about some of the cheaper ones, going to have to research a bit.

My Top 5 is, in no particular order,
Ethereum NEO Verge Stratis PIVX
I planted a seed in a number of crypto's, if one of them turns into a tree it will pay for all the other seeds.
In addition to that I invested a bit heavier in my TOP 5.
For really not much money at all I now have a position in 20 cryptos.
Most prominent coin I have is BTC/ETH/NEO, take your pick, shadiest coin I have is fucking Dogecoin because it has a lot of grassroots consumer backing. That's worth a gamble too, at a quarter cent a coin.
Money permitting I want to plant a seed into Monero, ARK, Ripple and 2 wildcards to expand from 20 currencies to 25.
Most of those 25 will not make it, but the few that do will pay for the others many times over.
