Hello everyone,

New to the forum as you might notice and I've been feverishly reading many threads and researching as much as I can the last while on various alt-coins. I've come up with a list of coins that appear to have interest from the community and come up frequently (at least, recently). I would be interested to know from those who specialize in each of the coins listed here, what the major Pro and the major Con of each coin is from your specialized knowledge. Even if you are in love with the coin I'd still love to hear what the cons for that particular coin is! For example, what I mean by pro is, for example, what advantages it has over other coins and why it might potentially dominate other coins in the future. What I mean by cons is, has the coin delivered on expectations from the developers, has there been turmoil in the community or is it not reaching its targets, will its tech be obsolete in the near future etc.

Here's the list in order of how they appear on coingecko.com.

1. Ethereum (ETH)

2. Ripple (XRP)

3. Litecoin (LTC)

4. Golem (GNT)

5. SiaCoin (SC)

6. Nem (XEM)

7. Digibyte (DGB)

8. LBRY Credits (LBY)

9. MaidSafeCoin (MAID)

10. Steem (STEEM)

11. Waves (WAVES)

12. GameCredits (GAME)

13. Ark (ARK)

Would love to hear what you guys have to say. Obviously I'm missing many, probably far better or more interesting coins so please feel free to throw those in the pile. The idea is to get a good concise list of coins with Pro's and Con's listed next to each that can help sidestep the hype and come to some kind of sensible assessment of each coin. Apologies if this has been done before! Thanks a mill.

The pro of the above listed coins is that they are well established and no one will lose if they invest in them for long term. The Cons of them is that since most of them are trusted, their prices are also higher and not everyone can afford to buy lot of those coins.
