BTC
ETH
WAN
MAN
ZRX
Other than that, just flip shit in szn and use Bitmex.
Edit: some other exchange/dex coins too, all of these are better than amost anything else given it's a good ex/dex and token has value
I understand your choice. However, I would pick the other coins that I think will be gaining faster than the other cryptocurrencies. I am talking about IOTA, VeChain, Ontology, TRON, and NEM. Hope they will rise a lot.
We both have our own choices. I think 5 picks are too low on a very promising young market like this. But if I only have to pick 5 coins in the market right now then it would be;
1. Ethereum - I know there are also lots of haters on Eth but this is a giant company already with huge connections and partnerships.
2. Litecoin - Because I think an ideal digital money should be fast and cheap.
3. Bitcoin - I cannot think of some other coins that can easily replace the father of blockchain and decentralization.
4. Axpire - Surrounded with a great well experienced and connected team. This is a very undervalued coin that have around 100x potential.
5. Deep Onion - Got lots of it. Very good community behind it. Another undervalued coin that have huge profit potential even short term.
