NEO is one of my favorites.
It is doing very well at the moment. If or when, China decides to participate in blockchain and cryptocurrency, NEO will be one of the main beneficiaries imo.

1. NEO
2. NULS
3. ICX

I think for speculation, Zilliqa could be worth a try. Anyone agree?
Long term, my personal favorite alts would be NEO and ONT.

NEO is NEO, and not the “ethereum of china”

NEO aims to build a smart economy with fantastic framework and planning for the future. There are great ICOs lined up. If you’re interested you should really do more research. NEO is really impressive and great infrastructure.
Aims for 100,000tps without sharding by 2020!

NEO for sure.
LTC will be stable, but there are many platforms that have faster tps with comparable low fees.
NEO aims to be 100,000tps by 2020 without sharding - with minimum to no fees.
NEO is blossoming and that is with China markets not actively involved.

Definitely use NEON wallet with ledger nano-s

No doubt for me, definitely NEO

I know you only want 5, but I have to list all my favorites!
1. NEO
2. ETH
3. SUB
4. REQ
5. XSPEC
6. STRAT
7. WABI

NEO and Ethereum will have a great year in my opinion.
NEO in particular given it’s smaller market cap.

Neo earns token holders Gas tokens. Each Gas token is about $50at the moment.

I would personally take out XRP and BCH.
If stable, I really like NEO. For a bit of speculation and gains, I like: REQ, SUB, WaBi and I know you already have XMR, but I like XSPEC.
Personally I don’t believe in XRP and don’t like the many aspects of the coin as discussed in many of the threads here. BCH doesn’t solve scalability issues with increasing block sizes imo

There are 27 planned ICOs. The list can be found here for anyone interested:

NEO has some very strong ICOs this year - personally I’m looking forward to ontology and nex.
NEO has such a great community, great devs and CoZ do a great job as well.
The leader, Da Hongfei seems to be working closely and cooperating with the Chinese government, so once China eases control of exchanges and ICOs, I think NEO would be perfectly positioned to capitalise.

Also been collecting gas which is a great incentive!
I am really confident NEO will be at least $400 this year. If NEO hits bithumb or large exchange in South Korea, the growth would be absolutely EXPONENTIAL!!

I’ve been in substratum since $0.20. Both are good projects with great decentralisation ideals placed for access of free and unfiltered information. That is what I’m all for. I’m sure both projects can co-exist.

We have all been there and done that. If you hold for the long term it will all be fine.
Just learn and HODL next time. That’s what I have learnt from my costly lessons 👍

Both are good. I have decided to go with xrb after missing out when it was $0.60 and went with sub 😭
With the fast fee-less transaction speed and prospect of more exchanges, it would make a good pairing/medium for transfer of funds particularly when buying tokens at different exchanges and the ability to purchase quickly to catch the market at the right time imo.

I was looking at either investing in xrb ($0.50) or req ($0.17). If I had gone the other way all my debts would be paid for lol

Personally I like XSPEC.
I agree that there will be increasing interest with privacy coins this year.
Many choices but I like xspec and the tech behind it the most

I agree with Spectrecoin (XSPEC).
Great technology with faster block times, POS and very good privacy functions.
I was researching the past few weeks and have gone with XSPEC personally. Great value now as very undervalued in terms of cmc.

XRP，ada, xrb and BCH
These coins have seen massive pumps and major FOMO.
I appreciate the benefits of xrb but the pump was excessive imo
