What is in your opinion the best altcoin to invest in for 2016 and why. Pls add why folks.

I'm still in Primecoin XPM, CryptoBullion CBX, and Horizon HZ for longterm. Those have solid reputation and a good base for growth.
*** I do not recommend to invest in any mentioned coins without proper research, how it was launched, how it developed, community involvement, stamina, price history and volume, etc. So do your homework cause you're the only one responsible for your funds.
i think DASH, Ethereum, Lisk, Waves... and MOJOCoin (MOJO) for long term... but the best is you hold your mostly Bitcoins to after the blockhalvening, i think...
