[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]All of the following opinions on the best cryptocurrency to invest in are my own. If you take a position in any of these coins in response to this article, I cannot be held liable for any loss or gain incurred. I have a position in many of these coins as well as others not mentioned below. Good luck to you all!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With over 1300 cryptocurrencies (and counting!), it\u2019s extremely difficult to predict which ones will end up on top. Considering the speed at which most of these coins have grown in value over the past 6 months, it\u2019s evident that we are entering a bubble similar to that of the dotcom boom. What this means is that while many of these coins will lose most of their value in the next 3 years, there will be a select few that will come out to become household names \u00a0like Google, IBM, Apple and Microsoft did.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So how do we find out which ones are the best cryptocurrency to invest in? By selecting them with their future potential in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Cryptocurrency To Invest In<\/b><\/h1>\n

While there is no single best cryptocurrency to invest in, there are many that I believe will come out victorious in the medium and long term. I chose these cryptocurrencies using the following criteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While this list is far from exhaustive, it provides a strong framework with which to choose your cryptocurrency investments. Here are the 6 criteria to always keep in mind before adding a coin to your portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Real Life Use.<\/strong> Does the coin offer a real life use? Some coins are used as a store of value (like Bitcoin, Dash, ZCash, Etc.) while others are used for entirely different purposes, such as Lucid Exchange<\/a> with decentralized derivatives trading. Make sure to invest in coins that have a future use, and aren\u2019t simply another replica of some of the existing coins. We\u2019ll cover some of these examples below.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strong Development Team.<\/strong> The developers are the most important part of the equation. Are they actively developing the blockchain technology? Is there a growing community of developers working on the project? Is the team made up of legitimate people with a proven track record of success? Always do your due diligence before investing in a coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Security of the network.<\/strong> Are there enough network nodes? Is there a system in place to ensure that the blockchain network will always have enough people to remain decentralized? If you can\u2019t answer yes to these questions, then don\u2019t invest in the coin.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Communication.<\/strong> Does the team communicate with its investors? Does the team have a clear growth map in place? Is there a community where you can learn about the latest development. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Coin was not significantly pre-mined.<\/strong> Often the development team takes a large portion of the pie. It is important to stay close to the community to see what the general feeling about this is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t Keep Your Coins On An Exchange – You Will Eventually Get Hacked!<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Best Cryptocurrencies To Invest In \u2013 September 2017<\/b><\/h2>\n

With the above criteria in mind, I came up with a list of coins I believe will come out on top. It also allows you to diversify your portfolio, having coins that offer completely different benefits. Make sure you keep your coins in a safe wallet on a usb key, such as these ones<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ethereum<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> This is by far the most important coin to invest in. It will serve as the basis of an entire ecosystem of \u201cDApps\u201d (Decentralized Apps). In the same way that Apps were the big thing in the past decade, DApps will become the next big thing. The reason for this is that all the DApps can communicate with each other, since they are built on the same blockchain. This allows for efficient cross-industry interactions which were never possible until now. \u00a0It\u2019s like a global supercomputer that can communicate cross-industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Basic Attention Token<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>With the ever more powerful AIs, most jobs will be replaceable in the next 10 years. In a world where computers run our jobs, what is the most valuable thing that humans can provide? Their attention. This coin is trying to radically change the face of the online advertising world by offering people to either block all ads, or to turn them on get paid for the ads they watch. The technology uses the Brave Browser, which you can download for free today. As if this weren\u2019t enough, the leader of this project is Brandon Eich, writer of the programming language Javascript.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bitcoin<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>There are 5 major phases of adoption, and we are only entering phase 2. As digital coins become an acceptable form of payment across the world, the current leader will be difficult to unthrone. With the development of a scaling solution, Bitcoin might just remain on top for a lot longer than we think. The entire community is developing rapidly, with radical projects such as <\/span>BitNation<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Blockchain Education Network<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Waves<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>While Ripple became the third most valuable coin for working with banks, I believe it is a risky cryptocurrency as it is not truly decentralized. This is where Waves comes in. This is a coin that offers similar benefits that Ripple does, such as the ease of creating new coins on the blockchain, while remaining a completely decentralized blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Omisego<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>This coin is one of the major coins in Asia. The team is composed of individuals with a large vested interest and a lot of connections including one with the father of mainstream crypto Vitalik Buterin (founder of Ethereum). They recently announced a partnership with McDonalds to have people pay their food using OMG Tokens! I think this coin is only going up for the next few months!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Factom<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>This smart contract blockchain already has enough contracts to be worth double its current price. It works mostly with defence contracts, having the US Department of Defence as one of its major clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PIVx<\/b><\/a>. <\/b>This coin is a faster and more efficient version of DASH. I believe it is a risky bet that may come to dethrone Dash in the coming months. This coin is also more speculative than anything else though so beware.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Golem.<\/b><\/a> This technology will allow you to rent out unused computing power. They believe they are creating one of the next internet norms, and I believe it. If you expect the world to be run by computers in the next 5 years, then this coin should be part of your portfolio. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Storj Coin<\/b><\/a>.<\/b> Decentralized cloud storage will become a norm. And when it does there\u2019s a strong chance this project will serve as its leader. It’s main competitors are SiaCoin and FileCoin, both of which could also be great pics!<\/span><\/p>\n

Only Invest What You Can Afford To Lose<\/b><\/h1>\n

ALL OF THESE COINS ARE RISKY. I cannot make it clear enough that you should not invest money you aren\u2019t willing to lose. For example, Ethereum could lose 80% of it\u2019s value in 10 minutes if it\u2019s founder Vitalik dies. Another example would be that BAT could lose everything if they don\u2019t get a strong enough user base or if Google builds a better app. Each coin has its risks, so it\u2019s up to you to do your due diligence. Nevertheless I have already seen a return of over 500% since initiating my position in most of these coins, and believe this is only the beginning. You could also get hacked, especially if you are not leaving your coins on a separate usb key wallet<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
