Topic: best altcoins to buy for 2018 before price goes to the moon? (Read 3601 times)

In a confirmed uptrend, most coins/tokens are likely to increase and leading coins are more likely to deliver huge gains. In a bear market, even top-rated projects find it hard to make headway. When the market is under pressure, breakouts may happen but are more likely to fail, and other leading coins struggle.

There are several likely reasons behind the decrease. Goldman Sachs has been one of the major banking institutions which had showed real interest in Bitcoin, having funded Bitcoin startup Circle back in 2015, and reportedly mulled the idea of launching a crypto trading desk since late 2017.  While the concern that institutions are mislaying interest in cryptocurrencies is a valid enough reason for caution, crypto traders become visible to be more concerned about dangers hiding in the shadows of black-market platform Silk Road. A Reddit user has pursued more than 111,000 thousand bitcoins (worth more than $700 million) associated with Silk Road, that have recently been transferred to wallets of various online exchanges, possibly with the purpose to sell. Huge amounts of bitcoins being moved to exchange wallets give traders the shakes, as it likely means a lot of selling pressure on the price. In any case, the crypto market's upward momentum that started August has been brought to a screeching halt. The crypto world is still eagerly awaiting SEC's decision on a few proposed Bitcoin ETFs, which should come in late September, A positive ending to that could finally give the crypto market the kick in the butt that it needs, while a negative one would likely drive the prices even lower

We look at history when we intend to make a prediction about future events. Have there been any similar incident in the past? How did the incident end? Many people believe the future can be predicted partially. In late 2013, The price of Bitcoin went from $100 to about $1,000 after a series of very positive events (culminating in the famous Bitcoin Lovefest Senate Hearing). Many of the current cryptocurrency blockchain founders were apart of the industry, but only really got serious about the industry after this event. What followed this was a long bear market that didn’t fully bottom out until January of 2016, and didn’t fully recover until 2017. While the industry kept active and continued to innovate, the market didn’t reflect this change until 2017.bIf we look at what the overall market looks like today, it’s easy to see a resemblance to this event I’m not one to rely on similar looking charts to make decisions about a market, but the circumstances and the subject matter are too similar to chalk up to coincidence.

INGOT Coin (IC) aims to integrate the traditional financial industry with the blockchain innovation by offering a complete Ecosystem that provides crypto holders the access to all financial services. The first of all-inclusive Ecosystem will be the pioneer in linking the crypto universe to the current traditional world. INGOT Coin will comprise an unique solution by integrating 6 basic components of financial ecosystem and providing a one-stop-shop for the digital asset, traditional asset and currency markets to solve challenges by creating a link between the crypto market and the traditional market. The IC Ecosystem will establish 6 different components to work hand in hand under one umbrella, proving all community members the chance to capitalize on upcoming opportunities in all markets. The Ecosystem’s components, as shown below, are the  IC Wallet, IC Exchange, IC Brokerage, IC Digital Bank IC Certifier and IC ICO Accelerator.

INGOT Coin aims to create an unprecedented, a first-of-its-kind revolutionary ecosystem based on Blockchain technology that will link newly developed crypto markets with the currently existing financial markets eliminating inefficiencies, while providing a one-stop ecosystem that enables participants to perform and execute transactions according to their financial needs. Among that background, they are constantly hard at work, try to intensify the formation and reach of INGOT Coin throughout the world. INGOT is creating an interrelated global community of trust and collaboration with its highly obvious platform. INGOT is balanced to give power back to the people by making them take total control of their finances.

Since we are expecting the price to have a good value before the year ends it is better to hold bitcoin rather than any alts because alts needs to be hold a year after it will be listed on exchange.

Elixir and privcy

There is plenty of fodder for the narrative that while ICOs will welcome your money right now, real, working dapps are always a day away. And yet a few dapps are starting to attract active daily users in the hundreds and thousands. These dapps have a few things in common. FCoin, Bancor, CryptoKitties and etc. — all facilitate trades of crypto assets in one way or another, though they have a range of business models, from exchange to game to market maker. Successful projects also tend to have a relatively intuitive user experience, something dapps in general struggle with.
Bryce Bladon, a co-founder of CryptoKitties, imputed that dapp’s success to the fact that it “managed to introduce customers to the blockchain in a way that was fun, interesting, and accessible.”
For all these dapps’ relative outcome, it must be said: daily user-bases of a few hundred or a few thousand are ridiculously small compared to those of the biggest centralized apps — Facebook has well over a billion daily active users.
The Ethereum Network is on-going into congestion issues once again. The cryptokitties Dapp locked up the system a few months back, but now even Binance has increased fees in the wake of the new traffic jam. Solutions tests are in the works, but they have no specific timeline and are arguably not proven to be possible. With Ethereum running at full capacity, Dapps may be forced to look for solutions to their problems before Ethereum’s issues shut them down completely.
The dramatic increase in GAS fees is attributed to the viral popularity of a slew of games emerging from online forums. While not as prejudicial to Ethereum transaction throughput as CryptoKitties, these new dApps have amassed over 26,000 transactions in 24 hours, causing GAS costs to double in price to $0.02.The spike in Ethereum dApp game interest has demonstrated the fragile nature of the Ethereum blockchain, illustrating the impact of a relatively small increase in transaction throughput on the capacity of the network. Ether Shrimp Farm, one of the most popular games causing network congestion, places players in control of a virtual shrimp farm with the goal of optimizing shrimp production, ultimately trading eggs for ETH.
New solution of Quantum-Secure Blockchain
TIM is GPS united with blockchain. And this changes everything. It exponentially upgrades the performance of permission-less agents by a new consensus mechanism based on geomining. The dapps become hyperlocal and geo-location aware. This boosts security and experience. The MVP network, at BitPost, provides 100k+tps capabilities for token transactions, smart contracts, IOT array operations scalable to 100M tps. TIM network is automatically and dynamically managed by swarms and geo-mining for load distribution, fraud detection and network operations.
A multi-zone blockchain running on specialized proof of belongingness based swarm defense app mechanism. Along with standard dapps, TIM blockchain provides hyperlocal geo-fenced dapps for economical and performant system of utility dapps. The defense mechanism works by a swarm of community apps which are run through communities or organizations with special smart contract with TALKING Foundation for providing a useful service along with proof of location for geo-mining
The blockchain can handle all natural dapps like transaction, insurance, speculation, contracts etc. In addition to the above dapps, TIM can also host geo-fenced dapps which boosts the security and privacy.
TIM will have 1.1 billion tokens and normal production rate of 0.01 tokens per second per DAG. The production rate will be regulated by foundation to match human population. The notion of matching human population is for promoting a philosophy of growth. The tokens will be rewarded in new blocks every 5 seconds. The token will be assigned over all the main network for winning nodes of each of the zones. Therefore, the rewarded tokens would be mostly fractional. This is called micro-distribution. These reserved for various kinds of econometric agenda. The major share of pre-mined tokens is reserved for impact investments. TIM foundation has deep interest in propagating DAPPS for impact work for Africa development through various entrepreneurship initiatives. Apart from development expenses, a stability fund from TIMs are reserved by TIM Foundation for helping crypto-currency growth initiatives or helping starved projects. Stability funds can also be used for merging desirable networks to increase development resources or defences for the TIM.

I’m literally trying to load up on privacy coins at the moment as I think that’s where the demand will start moving towards in the next 18 months.

For that reason I’m investing in the following

Spectrecoin (xspec)
Monero (xmr)
Pivx
Phore (PHR)

Spectrecoin is the one I have the most anticipation for, it’s current rank is criminal and is only a matter of time before it starts getting the recognition it deserves. I also like the fact you can get minimum 5% per year for staking.

Monero, well I don’t need to say anymore

Pivx and Phore I’m aiming for masternodes on for a regular income in the future. Both undervalued in my opinion

Uniquely the main value in the market of crypto currency is the etherium, because more than 90% of all ico companies use the erc20 platform. In addition, there is a hard fork at the end of 2018, which today shows the etherium. As an output investment.

A lot of ICO coins are pure speculation with no working product (hence the ICO to fund). In these bearish times I think people realise the values were way off for these projects and the day may never come.

I'll agree on Spectrecoin - full disclosure I have invested a small amount. It's high risk but very real chance of high reward. It's current rank is criminal.

For me the rationale for privacy coins is clear. The 'need' has not been realised yet, but will. Then it comes down to what is the most private (with acceptable transaction fees) and speed to a certain extent.

Look into the detail of most privacy coins and you'll see their weakest link is not adequately protecting the sender, Spectrecoin does this better than any privacy coin I'm aware of.

Some people are already posted about Spectrecoin (XSPEC) in other threads

But my view on this is that

In order to win the arms race with 1890 other crypto projects

a project must have USP (unique selling proposition)

More beneficial for the initial investor is to get entered in such a project at a very low mcap for maximum potential gains (penny stocks)

One of those super undervalued projects is Spectrecoin

Do your own research to understand why, but main reason is a possibility of staking while staying completely anonymous receiving anonymous stakes - new Stealth Staking algo or Proof-of-Stealth

P.S.
And btw it has alread been hitting ATH of 5-6 dollars per coin, while now as you ve asked sub 0,5$
So now is the time if anything to turn a "penny stock into something huge"

A Small Crypto Coin Is Making Big Claims About a Private Proof-of-Stake

The problem with ICO is that there are a lot of them and because they decrease with exchange listing people choose to hold their holdings in Ethereum, instead of investing in an ICO.

you may try GCOX ACM. now on ICO stage, will launch by the end of their year.

Whether or not the petro qualifies as a cryptocurrency beyond the fact that it is exchanged using blockchain technology—and whether or not it succeeds or fails—it is pushing the blockchain into new territory. The passing interest it has generated motivated other sanctioned countries to consider launching national cryptocurrencies of their own to circumvent sanctions. This option may be more viable for governments in less precarious positions than that of Venezuela’s. It has also generated interest outside of sanctioned petro states. This new avenue may come to naught as cryptocurrency enthusiasts shy away from government-controlled tokens, but it may also open up new forms of government funding or help popularize mobile payment systems, which have not been widely adopted in the West. Backing a cryptocurrency with a commodity may help resource-rich nations borrow against their as of yet untapped natural resources (petroleum reserves or otherwise). More interestingly, if reserves-backed cryptocurrencies catch on, their decentralized nature means there is no reason their use would be limited to governments. Reserves-holding companies may find it more convenient to turn to petro-like tokens to raise funding against their reserves instead of more traditional financial markets, especially so long as they remain less regulated. This could be in the form of a company-specific token or a more generic, industrywide token.
The Permian-Chain technology funds the acquisition of proven undeveloped oil supply to generate early revenues for suppliers and provide higher discounts to buyers. The Permian Token (PMN) establishes an open, secure, transparent direct investment oil & gas ecosystem powered by Blockchain technology and the application of cryptography as a digital token. The world has 70 years of oil left at today’s production rate of 30 billion barrels per year. Compared to the 1,300 billion barrels produced around the world in history. XPR enables digital transfer of underlying assets value in the form of digitized value of oil. Thus, allowing the utilization of XPR's substantial physical & proven reserves as a means to facilitate commercial and consumer transactions around the world. As a reserve-based digital currency, XPR will become a critical instrument for preservation of wealth and an ever-expanding range of commercial and consumer activities using blockchain for digitized store of value. We now have a chance to breakout from the traditional way we have done things in the oilfield and redesign the model for the future.

My idea is that after a such btc domination increase altcoins will need much more time for recovery. And I am not talking about ico projects, they are in a even bad situation.

TIM Blockchain in partnership with SOLYD and BCTCLabs is dedicating $5 Million for developing Enterprise Security Framework for all interoperable blockchains
Geonodes will make exchange operations more secure and efficient
Enterprise security is key to mass industry adoption of blockchains. So far 4 million bitcoins have been lost as per reports. And this is scary.

No valuable asset can have adoption if their theft and loss rate is 25%. And this situation will be a history very soon. Thanks to Geonodes.

Geonodes are a way to geofence your assets in smart contract which can have customisable level of access like 2FA, MFA, LDAP and Biometrics. The mining computer of geonode is kept in physically secure location which has a 100m radius of fencing.

The tighter integration of geolocation by GPS in TIM Blockchain provides this unique feature by which one can write smart contracts to allow/disallow it’s execution in a given geolocation. And there can be many use cases of this feature. One of which is to create specific locations where smart contract based wallets can be secured. Having telecom partners for this is going to improve the geolocation security as well. Telecoms companies use GPS to synchronize their towers. Therefore Telecoms are a natural partner for TIM.

How will Bitcoin and Ethereum benefit?
TIM is getting ready with atomic swaps and all cryptocurrencies having this interoperability can work with TIM. This way one can secure bitcoin and ethereum by geonodes. This will put an end to next 4 million bitcoins being lost to theft and losses.

Ecosystem Driven Development
Our core effort has always been to build the state of the art blockchain to enhance our enterprise partnerships. And there are so many new frontiers to cover. We want your opinion and advice on how to build the adoption roadmap. There are so many alternatives and choices. Which interoperability features should be tackled first? What level of interoperability should be developed? Should it be limited upto smart contract to smart contract based interoperability or transactions based swaps as well?

Geonodes Bids open on 11 October 2018
The Request for Proposal has been initiated for inviting bids to build the enterprise security framework. TIM Blockchain will dedicate $5M towards developing this framework.

ETH, Litecoin, EOS, Monero and Dogecoin, they are a group of the best altcoins to date, their popularity has no doubt, after the increase in December 2017. So, after the increase in December has given me a belief that they are very potentially large to grow on the rise which is coming.

I not see a moment now or  a decision. 10 coins sometimes a change, how much time will be continued correction. That why better to waiting the end  and later to look on the perspective.

The best time to buy altcoins is now because from high price of the altcoin they will became a cheaper now and if you not buy different altcoins now you lose a big profit after few months or few years better to choose a good altcoins for you.

Of course everybody should stick with ETH, it has 5000$+ potential for sure, believe me. Just wait till this crisis is over and you'll see ETH at the moon.

Blockchain can increase project transparency, decrease investor risk and develop into an effective financing tool for quality blockchain projects.Most of ICO’s fail because their product contribution is not needed as well as the fact that no major hearing can link with the product. They don’t make sure you conduct intensive market research to make sure that there actually is a need for the initial coin offering concept they are trying to create. Projects make sure they try and create a real functional token economy that makes sense and has a reason for existing. People see many initial coin offerings out there that exist just for the sake to make money. These ICO’s are mostly scams and will fail.

Because a company is holding an ICO, does not necessarily mean that their product has anything to do with blockchain technology — just that they have tokenized their fundraising efforts using a platform. INGOT Coin aims that using blockchain technology is better, and investors need to be aware of why. Investors need to question if it makes good business sense to invest in a company based purely on its use of blockchain technology.

INGOT Coin ensures that funds and personal data are secured during and after ICO. In addition, the team ensures legal compliance not only in the country of registration, but also in all the countries where project operations and token use are planned. INGOT Coin uses transparent legal structure and provides clear justification for blockchain and own utility token. INGOT Coin team is sure to test  MVP if and consider how well it aligns with the promises made in the white paper, satisfies the use case, and demonstrates the advantages over other offerings in the space. We give importance that MVPs should have users, investigate any available customer feedback and how the team has responded. INGOT Coin believes that our brand is the face of our offering and the more time we take to create a good brand identity, the better the rest of our marketing communications will be.

INGOT Coin started to shape the future of the financial markets by collecting their soft cap, receiving over $40,000,000 USD. The team behind INGOT Coin announced that the Pre-token sale is officially closed after successfully raising $40,000,000 USD. In addition to this great new, all INGOT Coin holders can now use their ICC in our Brokerage, INGOT Brokers, and start trading over +1000 instruments. 1 ICC equals 1 USD and will be deposited accordingly in INGOT Brokers.

INGOT Coin ICO phase will finished at 10th October. Based on INGOT Coin extensive financial model, we have placed a hard cap of $90,000,000. This number will ensure we provide the best services with optimal allocations into each component of this all-inclusive ecosystem. Everything is going on right now and Dev team is already working on all our product under the favor of reaching the soft cap target. Team has continued to build innovative product and not waiting for finish of our ICO. INGOT Team believes that victory will be the true workers!!

There are lots of good coins in store today. We just have to be wise upon choosing. I base choosing through their platforms and the activeness of the team. It is the team and developers who will work for it after all. We must just be willing to take the risk in investing altcoins.
