I'm holding:
STEEM (my favorite blockchain currently, zero fees, super fast transfer, ability to vest to generate semi-passive income)
BCC (one of the only altcoins that reliably goes up against BTC value, being listed on hitBTC today),
BTS (If 2017 was the year of "smart contracts," 2018 will be the year of "decentralized exchanges"),
BAT (Brave is already an excellent and fast browser, and I believe its idea of balancing out the "payment triangle" for ads will catch on)
UBIQ (Interesting project in the smart contract space)
and small amounts of GNT, HMQ, XEM, VOX, DGB, XLM, ETC, & STRAT.
I'm looking to get into EOS, because I'm convinced it could be one of the most important crypto projects happening right now, and Dan Larimer is an absolute genius.
By the way, I share your sentiments about BTC. I think it's possible to respect its role in sparking the whole decentralization movement while admitting that it is outmoded.
From my perspective, BTC is stone-age technology. Extremely wasteful/polluting with its mining operations, very high fees, contentious and borderline unfunctional community, a development team that has strayed far from the original intention laid out in Nakamoto's whitepaper, very slow transactions, etc.
Just because "Bitcoin is King" at the moment, does not mean it will always be so. In fact, I highly doubt it, there is just so much better technology in other coins. It may take a while, but its fall will be mighty indeed.
Thank you @d-pend for taking the time to make such a complete comment.
I agree with all your invedtments and most importantly for the reasons you give.
Only one exception BCC as I dont understand why it is valued so much and why it would change the world. Not to mention that I fear there could even be irregularities.
Concerning BTC I can only say Amen as we are on the same page.
I hope to talk to you again soon.
Take care!
