What are the top 10 altcoins that can survive and keep growing in developers, community, price and usability?
For me, all of the altcoin has its own uniqueness. Every coin has its potential in the market it just depend on the developer on how they will advertise their coin. And if I will state the name of altcoin that will survive in 2018. The first altcoin in my list is the ethereum, followed by electroneum and bitcoin cash. And then next are the LTE,NEO,Waves, and ARK. These are the potential coin that with continue to grow in 2018.
Yes, I agree with your views. There are many factors that affect the survival of cryptocurrency. But I'm sure that BTC and ETH are two names first. After that, Altcoins with a clear purpose, big market cap, good developers will be existed such as OMG, BCH, LTC, XPR, NEO, XMR.
Coins that have been surviving for years now have a large community of users and those can be trusted to live through coming decades if the world is going to exist for that long. I mean if there wont be any war among countries. Bitcoin, the mother of all crypto currencies will survive for centuries and same stands applicable for Ethereum.
It has a large supply and trusted by many people. Some other famous altcoins that you have already mentioned can also be trusted. I just dont trust BCH. Instead of that, waves is a better option.
