Not BTC or Ether. And in no way Bitcoin Cash. As i invested a bit more time in Cryptocurrencies, i'm mainly looking for newer coins that could have a bright future (always read and understand whitepapers).
I would currently go for Wagerr, IOTA, SIA and TenX. For IOTA and TenX, i still need to read the Whitepaper in Detail, but they look very promising.
