I think ripple XRP is a good option to choose for investment. others like BAT, EOS, Cardano,Doge & Trx is also good choice. You can look at their historical values & demand & supply in the crypto market.
Ripple is not even a good choice as it has multi billions pre mined coin will be dumped to the market. Doge, EOS and TRX are not good coin anymore as they have their own problems and these problem will never be fixed. It's better if we can choose another coin which was having a fully working product. Just put your eyes into the product that can generate revenue to the project and that's more than enough to call if such project is really worth to invest.
What you call not good, ironically, are still consistently on the top. Regardless of some of their questionable features, problems, and competition, they still managed to earn the trust of many in the crypto world. They also earned the trust of their partners. If this is so, I would also put my trust on them. Ripple is still one of my chosen altcoin.
