Before jumping into altcoins (alternative currencies to the bitcoin e.g Steem), when starting of one needs to look out for the dominating currencies that everyone keeps talking about.

  1. Bitcoin(BTC) - $4232.23
    Maximum supply - 21,000,000 BTC

  2. Ethereum (ETH) - $291.54
    Circulation supply - 94,948,248 ETH

  3. Ripple (XRP) - $0.204040 [currently low priced; highly anticipated to boost]
    Total Supply - 99,994,523,265 XRP
    Very large total supply but then again a very large volume is traded hence the 7.8 billion dollar market cap

  4. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) - $386.13
    Maximum supply - 21,000,000 BTC

  5. Litecoin (LTC) - $51.84
    Maximum supply - 84,000,000

  6. Zcash (ZEC) - $243.77
    Maximum supply - 2,324,569 ZEC

  7. Steem (Steem)- 1.13 [currently low priced; highly anticipated to boost]
    Total supply - 259,398,911
    Steem has an absolutely large community online and has the ability to blow up as a large successful paid social media site
    which enables

Other Altcoins that are talked about a lot all over youtube and other social media platforms.
They do have a very large potential of blowing up to much higher values when kept for long term investment.

Stratis (STRAT) - $3.83
Circulating Supply - 98,568,574 STRAT

OmiseGo (OMG) - $8.64
Total Supply - 140,245,398

Iota (MIOTA) - $0.522527
Max Supply - 2,779,530,283

InvestFeed (IFT) - $0.063775
Circulating supply - 191,381,257
This also has a large community online . https://www.investfeed.com/)

NEMcoin (XEM) - $0.218494
Circulating supply - 8,999,999,999

Personal favourites (not talked about too much but i truly believe they have unimaginable potential)

Monero (XMR) - $89.26
Circulating supply - 15,172,110
I highly recommend this particular currency because people rarely talk about it but i've followed it from the from the point where it was about 20 dollars and now it's worth about (90 dollars ).

Augur (REP) - $19.13
Circulating supply -11,000,000
This is a token based platform for decentralized market prediction.
Augur combines the magic of prediction markets with the power of a decentralized network to create a stunningly accurate forecasting tool - and the chance for real money trading profits.

Summary:
As you can see there seems to be a correlation between the available supply of the currency and its price, hence from personal experience i would advise that for a long term and more stable investment you look out for coins with a relatively low supply.

However there some like XRP (ripple) that have a very large supply; these cannot be ignored because they may have a much more practical use, for instance XRP is used by banks to move massive volumes of money because of it's stability, quickness and large supply implying that when it increases in value up to say 1 USD, investment at the current price would be extremely profitable.

Thank you and i hope this article helps those out there struggling to choose a currency to invest in, plus the beauty is such that you can always refer back to this article to see how things have progressed.

All the best in all your investment endeavors and remember: HODL. Cheers (:-)))))(:-))))(:-)))))
