If you had to invest 5x $1000 USD now, what would be your 5 coins (except ETH) to invest?
You made a wrong poll voting. You said you needed 5 altcoins to invest $1k each and you only make an option for just a single coin. You also didn't consider if the coin I have in mind is not among the options you listed up there? My simple advice, look into good coins among the 50 projects on market cap and you are good to go because they are nor safer than coins below 100 place in the market cap.
Here is my wish list of altcoins I will like to invest.
1. FTM: This coins was one of the best altcoins of their previous bull run but some how, the multi-chain bridge control by another team was hacked which led to investors to lost over $130m but the team are working with court to get back their lock coins and stable coins and with some new updates about the project and some airdrop.
2. SUI: This coin is a new altcoin that has not experienced bull run before and it has a solid team that are working tirelessly to improve scalability of the chain. Here are the rest of the coins I think you might need.
3. Near protocol.
4. Injective protocol.
5. Rune
