I've been in crypto for a while now.
$SYS: I really love the project and what they do. Their roadmap looks beyond insane.
$DGB: I really like how fast their transactions are and TA aiming for a new ATH.
$XEL: TA looks so sexy, team of devs are really onto it and project really nice.
$OMG: I've had since the start, I've bought and sold this many times. It's like ETH you don't see much progress but overtime = BIG.
$XLM: Again project love.
$XVG: Don't really care. Just bought it cheap
$ETC: Just like bch follows btc at most times. etc does the same. Graphs look amazing when I bought. Still do. 10x at least.
$ADA: Amazing project.

Others have suggest I should have bought other coins. These were on my buy list alongside many. But at that time, these we're the best options for me.
