I will try to come with my own list of top 10 alternate coins. But generally, my list will not be composed of altcoins that will rise high and gone later. These for long term investment. Here they are:

1. Ethereum
2. Waves
3. Monero
4. Ripple
5. Ethereum Classic
6. Stratis
7. Litecoin
8. Siacoin
9. Basic Attention Token (BAT)
10. Aventus

For me, these the coins that will surely give you a growth rate that is perfect for your investment and waiting. Let us hear what others have to say though.
