I already have enough bitcoin but I want to expend my asset holdings into Altcoin. Now I'm a newbie and have no experience but that doesn't mean i will jump right into buying your suggested coins. I will do more research but I need guidance on the coins to look into that's why I started this thread. I'm interested in privacy, gambling and currency coins
I'll be spending more time on the alternative board now, hope I'm welcome.
I agree that research is paramount before making an investment. If I had to choose five that meet the criteria you mentioned, besides BTC, they'd be ETH, EOS, ADA, LTC, and perhaps MIOTA. EOS has become a popular platform for gaming. LTC will eventually adopt privacy features. ETH is a stalwart smart contract platform. I like ADA and MIOTA because they have solid teams and partnerships.
