My 2 Best Cryptocurrencies to Buy and Hold

In general, cryptocurrency tends to be a very volatile investment. Between May and July of this year, the collective market value of all crypto assets was cut in half -- in just a few short weeks. But since then, that figure has roared to a new high, reaching $2.67 trillion in October.

That volatility is just one reason that many smart investors have very different opinions on this space. Personally, I think cryptocurrency makes a good addition to an already well-diversified portfolio. In this context, a small position (maybe 5%) isn't all that risky, but you still get exposure to this burgeoning asset class.

With that in mind, here are my top cryptocurrencies to buy and hold for the long term.
