Hello steemit community!
My name is Peter, i'm a 21 year old Australian, and I thought I’d introduce myself after hearing about this website recently from @kingofdew (a YouTuber I am a big fan of).
I’m currently a student studying Engineering and finance at University, who has had a big interest in Football and should be writing up an assignment I’ve got due tomorrow instead of writing this! By the end of the year I hope to travel to Greece to see my extended family and meet my relatives.
I recently gained a lot of interest into cryptocurrency after the past 6 months of hearing how bitcoin and the blockchain could be the path to the future, and thought it was just about time for me to make my first step into some small purchases. After doing as much research as I can up to this point, I thought I might provide a top 5 list of the cryptocurrencies I think will be successful in a year+ from now.
- Ethereum
- Stratis
- Siacoin
- Bitcoin
- Golem
I would love to be able to engage and meet new steemers on this website, so feel free to comment or share with me your opinion on anything.
POT IS LIGHT HERE
I want to see reasons for every currency you list; why do you feel this way about them. What are your arguments?

Sure thing mate @surfyogi
Initially after doing a lot of research, around 90% of articles/blogs I read all supported Ethereum as the main crypto for future growth, until I actually looked into its functionality and was blown away, mainly with the potential with development productivity and how it has supposedly learnt from bitcoins 'mistakes'. Also i'm a strong supporter of Vitalik and believe the guy is a genius.
If the block chain could become a mainstream technology for existing and developing corporations, I believe stratis will boom. They provide development services, incorporating the features they require, whilst utilizing the benefits of block chain technology.
Siacoin and Golem are my favourite two concepts, especially golem. Given I'm and engineering student, I've had to use some programs that have taken over 12 hours to render. The fact that computing power can be combined together to create a supercomputer would have definitely saved me a lot of time I could have put into something else. I also think sia coin has a lot of potential, especially with amazon eliminating their unlimited data storage deal a few days ago.
Bitcoin in my opinion will always be the face of cryptocurrency for a long time. Given there are still so many people who don't understand ALTcoins and their potential, they have most likely just heard of bitcoin, believing it is the most important cryptocurrency there is, despite the different functionality aspects of other ALTcoins. Because of that reason, I think it'll always be beneficial to contain bitcoin in your portfolio for investing purposes simply for the hype of new investors and companies entering the market.

I think steem has the potential to be very big but still has a long way to go (could be more than a year). In the meantime I think it's a great concept and even better community, plus i'm always a fan of getting on board to new technologies. If you look at my latest post I wrote about my ALTfolio, and steem is in there in the top 4 weighting.
