I know the thread is quite old, but which coin to buy changes all the time. At the moment I would say forget alts and go with BTC... it has started the charge to $6000, and if it breaks through I think there is a good chance that the general market uptrend of the last couple of months can turn into a full bull run, with BTC leading the way.

That's certainly true, mate. The main driver of cryptocurrencies success has always been Bitcoin from the start. Every time there's an upsurge in BTC's price, other altcoins start to follow. There's no way around it. Still though, the only cryptocurrency which seems to have a "mind" of its own is Ethereum. Given that it's the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, and well-recognized from experts in the crypto space, it'll be an altcoin that will survive for the long term.

The rest of the altcoins in the market will simply vanish from existence or become speculative instruments. Despite this, if you're still interested in buying altcoins, then now it's the right time to do so. Bitcoin is still in a bear market, which means that most altcoins will be the same. If you time it right and invest a desirable amount of money into the most prominent cryptocurrencies in market cap, then you'll obtain some profit at the next bull market.

Nonetheless, time will tell us which altcoins will stay and which will go. Just my thoughts Grin
