I have 1 grand and have spent the last week doing research. These are the 5 I'm most interested in. I'd personally rather only invest all out into 1. If you had to pick which coin would you invest in? (short or long).
ETH is near to change from PoW to PoS and there's no means to be reproduce after that change. The best thing to do is invest to ETH once there's a less supply in the market the price will grow. The same thing with bitcoin, but also there's a good contender and that is LTC which is being mined by the Chinese miners.
