if you aren't too bothered by holding too many coins, ARDR is definitely a must-have at this time, and will probably be a top performer in q1 2018.
PAY has also been in accumulation for several months so one may expect it to have a proper spike sometime in the near to mid term.

it's the coin that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.

well, i personally believe that correction will be milder and shorter this time, but a 90% fall wouldn't be unheard of - that's basically what happened every time BTC went on a similar rally as this year!!

all interesting picks but i'm especially bullish on ARDOR, which will have a great rally in the next few weeks and possibly an excellent 2018 altogether

i strongly disagree. given progresses on LN and atomic swaps, i think LTC is positioning itself to be the ideal and practical complement to BTC. was that to happen, 3rd or even 2nd rank in total marketcap would become a concrete possibility

yes i really think you nailed it... coins that rise too fast and on excess hype have a hard time getting back on track... see what happened to Digibyte! it looked like it was going to be the real thing back in spring, it's tumbled and basically vanished since. even Neo is still suffering from too much hype around rebranding. so i agree with you: i also think Charlie Lee is just trying to protect its product.

Charlie Lee is a real gent.
that said, i've liquidated about 60% of my LTC position and aiming to re-buy in, probably between 100-150USD or 900-1200k sats... great day, though!!

i think these features and all the news from last weeks make XLM likely to continue a positive price action. unless BTC goes ballistic again (which however may really happen), i believe XLM will try to retest 1200sats in the short term and perhaps get to extend to 2000sats. markets are crazy volatile these days, though, and XLM has already pumped for some time, so i'd go careful with it - put stop losses and be ready to wait for a later entry point when (if) BTC will have finally stopped rallying,

hey there. i can only agree with ShroomsKit above and the linked dbt's post.
here is one more article that compares ARDOR with another popular crytpo project https://medium.com/@lyaffe/the-data-marketplace-b36d93c80712
adding that in my experience NXT is a super efficient and easy to use platform offering voting, marketplace, app creation, etc., although it has received less buzz than other platforms with similar scope.
overall, i think these assets could benefit from better marketing and visual presentation, but the tech seems really advanced and i am real bullish on Jelurida starting with this december

sure they're all top 200... except for SHIFT which may be #201-5 atm

i read in another thread that it was beef about dividends policy. but trex seems to have a record for that, unfortunately - what was the need to delist BTS? but again: i think SAFEX is a good project and i see this as a great opportunity, however risky...
...truly sorry for those who are currently in a minus cause of this, though...

not that i don't know of, except of cryptopia... but the project is solid and i'm confident it won't go south. it's a risk to invest now of course but i think i'll be willing to take it.

wait a few days and buy a bunch!! eventually another major exchange will take them over and you'll have made a boss bargain. it was the same when Bittrex delisted without reason BTS last september - BTS has gained up to 100% vs BTC in the meantime.i think this is another great opportunity, really

how about these?
SHIFT BLK WINGS UBQ PAY BTS all with pretty solid fundamentals imo
another could be DGB but will it ever appreciate again?
i'll be curious to hear your thoughts, thanks

NXT - best risk/reward ratio for the next 10-15 days

hmmm... we've seen often that if btc takes a tumble, the alts also sink. i really hope you are right, but i fear we may still have some weeks of suffering before we enter a consistent trend reversal

bounced off support and painted a nice green dildo as we spoke... next target 6k sats?

it was a sleeper for months but definitely woke up already. most of the ROI multiplier may lie behind - it bottomed at 700 sats some weeks ago - but it defintely has a couple of more legs to go for another 2-3x. i expect it'll cross 8000 sats but even if it doesn't, one will get IGNIS airdrop so i think that together with ARDR this is one of the safest deals of all december

ARDR and NXT are going to offer the best safety/reward ratio for the next 2 weeks imo. also, KMD is a real steal atm
