    Hi,

    Which coins would you recommend for starters to invest in besides Bitcoin?

    Which do you think have the highest potential for growth?

    Doge was a thing, but it is not so oft-traded and it has no cap and it also has almost no practical use (can't buy almost anything with it, it's not accepted almost anywhere).

    If you're buying Doge you might as well buy WIN. Atleast it has a capped mintage.

    WIN is the same as WINk, right?

    What is it good for? :D

    From what I've read I understood it's some sort of a gaming token-type crypto.

    Something wide-spread and with high potential would be great.

    If, for example, YouTube had a coin, then that would have enormous potential to grow and spread.

    It's a rubbish coin for some gaming website. Got pumped and dumped, but the pump didn't even break 4 cents a coin.

    BitTorrent has a coin. No idea about its potential.

    Prepare for everyone’s favourites to be listed.

    for my 2c I think if there’s a pullback ENJ, MANA and HBAR have genuine long term potential and worth looking into.

    ETH and BTC are a good place to start but both have their own issues - they are the originals and have loyal following, but are limited by their lack of speed, scalability and transfer fees and struggle to do the roles they were intended.
    They may continue to do well based on people’s belief, but could easily be surpassed by newer projects that outperform them.

    You are recommending "rubbish" for investment?

    You can give "financial advices", you are not providing it as a service per contract, anyway. I don't see why so many people are saying "this is not financial advice".

    You can simply say your opinion, you have no responsibility, people are just talking anyway.

    My preference is XRP. It's never taken longer than a few seconds for me, and the the fees are always very low. If I need BTC to buy something I just swap my XRP for BTC.

    The same as any of the other cryptos and what dozerz said "speculation".

    I just have a problem with BTC due to the long delays and high fees, and I picked XRP because it was in the market cap top 10, and at the time looked to be quick and cheap to transfer.

    So it's useless. They're all for that.

    BTC can actually be used for something. DOGE too. Although, little use.

    I think the cheapest newer coins have potential. The ones that have some use.

    Didn't Facebook launch a crypto?

    How about Venezuela's PETRO?

    Any of these available out there? There's very little information (mainly news articles).

    I bought a few units of BNB (Binance coin) for AUD 20 each a few years ago. Today it is almost AUD 800. That is 40X. I think it will go up further.

    Definitely buy a coin(s) with some utility so you can use them and learn the tech. Two I would recommend :-

    HIVE - A blogging/social media platform where you can get educated while learning to use crypto.
    WAX - An EOS clone that is focused on Gaming and NFTs. If you are a gamer in any sense this one is a no brainer.

    Both have very low transaction fees, are readily accessible and microtransactions are a breeze.

    If you're starting with Bitcoin then you're probably just sitting on the exchange you bought it and HODL....you might make money but you won't learn anything.

    This surprises me a bit. You seem quite switched on with many controversial subjects, but XRP is commonly known as the anti-crypto. It's centralized bankster garbage and you'd probably do well to do a bit of research on it.
