Topic: Best cryptocurrency to invest in 2018 - page 5. (Read 3316 times)

No doubt some legacy institutions are hesitant to try the new technologies at a time when existing systems still work and are profitable. They understandably want to see how other large companies and startups fare before making major investments of their own. But the writing is on the wall, especially since startups in the fintech world are nipping at their heels and driving the development of new, innovative solutions.

Another sector facing a real threat from cryptocurrencies and the new funding model they have spawned is venture capital. If issuing a token through an ICO can generate millions of dollars in only hours after a new token is offered for public purchase (a situation which is not uncommon), startups don’t need to jump through the hoops typically required to get VC funding. Furthermore, in the crypto-capital universe, blockchain startups don’t need to relinquish full ownership of their companies or worry about eventual shareholders bossing them around. Instead of demanding business plans, VCs may eventually need to develop a business plan of their own in order to stay competitive.
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 Wallet allows for transfer of tokens from and to the exchange and other wallets. Besides, the wallet would be integrated with the IC Digital Bank, Allowing users to pay with fiat and settle with crypto and vice versa.

IC Exchange will be integrated securely with the IC Wallet, IC Brokerage and IC Digital Bank through a user friendly platform fledge cryptocurrency exchange. The exchange will be listing major coins and newly issued ICOs to provide a complete diversified coin spectrum for market participants. The coins will be listed against other cryptos, fiat currencies and traditional financial instruments such as ETFs and commodities. Investors are able to take a new route in terms of trading their cryptocurrencies and diversifying their portfolios by incorporating the IC Exchange with the other components.

Finally, IC ICO Accelerator will guide participating ICOs to list their tokens on the IC exchange on a much more reasonable price and conditions.

It is difficult to say, as the cryptocurrency market is extremely difficult to predict because of the high volatility of the cryptocurrencies themselves. But I will offer Bitcoin.

The geo-mining module creates multiple sub network, where each network independently adds and validates the transactions in its geographical area. The network splits into 2 variable sized triangles if the transaction fee and waiting transactions fulfill a pre-defined condition. Similarly, the network merges into nearby zones either fully or partially if waiting transactions reduces. Such a system provides high performance similar to large enterprise cloud based solutions.

There are special types of dapps on TIM network which are geo-fenced and zero-knowledge proof based, called hyperlocal dapps. Hyperlocal dapps maintain their own blockchain file and only the TIM coin spending is captured in main network without checks unless a conflict occurs. Conflict resolution is managed by zonal nodes and costs the usual zonal transaction fees. In honest hyperlocal dapps, the ideal cost of transaction is zero as well as realtime. This also creates a network where high volumes doesn’t impact global blockchain performance. Such a resiliency creates an internet grade blockchain.

The proof of belongingness(PoB) is the work-horse for block creation by nodes. The PoB is an improvement over PoS(proof of stake) and PoW(proof of work), so that there is no hogging of ownership by select few and also not as polluting like PoW energy guzzlers. PoB works by geo-location where certain large number of apps act as trusted source of location. And these large swarm of trusted truth source authenticating any node which wants to add a block in its region. This creates resiliency and also a high performance environment. The opportunity to add block also becomes available to a larger number of newer nodes.

TIM blockchain requires only 5 TIM Coins as stake for nodes interested in creating new block. This is an extra protection mechanism where malicious nodes would loose stake for attacking the network. The staking of 5 coins is low and inclusive for democratic participation. The fund will distribute tokens to entrepreneurs in under-developed and backward regions like Africa and Asia, etc.

Exchange of information is already getting enabled in remote parts of the world. An economic media for exchange of value will unlock huge potential of Africa. Easy banking services and commerce are quick wins. Further integration into global economy will aid in uplifting of poverty, health and sanitation.

I would recommend that you buy the TDZ tokens. There are a lot of crypto market participants who will greatly welcome the opportunity to use a professional toolkit, which is based on mature market strategies and which gives regular people an easy way to enter the game.

I would also go with the coins in the top 50 or max top 100, the rest is even more exposed to volatility which is good in an uptrend but can be devastating during a down trend, as many lost 90% of value.

Where this coming from...I never heard this currency and how come this will be the best crypto currency for 2018. So many good ICO that had ended with a bang but suffer their prices due to market downfall. It's better to invest in a top coins we have.

Currently I'm investing heavily in XRP coin. I believe in the foundation of this coin. In the future it will be high growth.

I think it depends on what you are looking after. Some new Altcoins have more growth potential but bitcoin definitely is safer for a large sum of money.

In my opinion, Ethereum is the best and most reliable altcoin to invest this year. Ethereum has a huge capitalization, ranking it second on coinmarketcap, just behind Bitcoin. Ethereum has a professional leadership team, advanced blcokchain technology. Today most ICOs use the platform of Ethereum. I believe that in the next few years Ethereum will grow strongly and bring a lot of profit to investors. Now the price of Eth is very cheap, this is a good opportunity for us to buy and hold.

The crypto and the traditional financial markets are quite segregated for a participant attempting to cross over or move their capital from one market to the other. The segregation is a result of large transaction costs, time and money. These costs sometimes lead to the eradication of profits, and in some cases lead to losses, which restricts investors from participating in the market. Furthermore, Market participants are always searching for ways to diversify their funds, along with rebalancing them to reach an ideal allocation of assets that fits their risk appetite. Given the lack of connection between crypto and the traditional markets, participants are either unable to move funds between different markets in a reasonable timespan or are restricted by the costs associated to do so.

The current crossover mechanism is also inefficient in terms of availability and transparency as it is only available 5 days a week and execution can take from hours to days depending on different factors, such as liquidity, day of execution, time of execution throughout the day, type of order and size of trade.
INGOT Coin will create a complete solution by integrating 6 core ecosystem components and providing a one-stop-shop for the digital asset, traditional asset and currency markets to solve all the above-mentioned challenges, thus, 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, providing 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.

ethereum is still a trusted coin for now. if you look at the market conditions that are currently at the bottom point I think it's too risky to invest in coins other than ethereum.

ETH at this time is the best currency to invest. The price is down and the coin have the potential to grow in future. The price will rise after this dull phase and there is a strong possibility that it will surpass its all time high at the end of this year. Other suggestions will be, XRP, AE and EOS. These also have potential to gain good market cap chunk in near future.

TIM provides an exponentially improved, open, and decentralized infrastructure for a peer to peer network driven by ecological geo-mining for an efficient blockchain operation overcoming the bottlenecks while also creating many new application features. This improves the performance of permission-less agents, in consensus based trust environment and with geo-mining based participation for a secure and distributed network of devices to exchange information.
TIM tokens are very much similar to tokens of any other cryptocurrency like bitcoin or ethereum. The tokens are cryptographic address for an entity or smart contract (akin to organizational entity) which can send and receive information over the network. Proof of belongingness (PoB) is geolocation based consensus mechanism to add new blocks in blockchain. Any node willing to write a block gets authentication of its location from TIM swarm apps. Swarm apps are secured utilities running on TIM blockchain. A node must have a minimum of 5 tokens to stake for eligibility. It is explained in further sections. TIM operates in multiple zones and merges every 5 seconds to reach global consensus. The 2 default minimum zones cut the world map in 2 such that a square map is divided by a diagonal from north-west corner to south-east corner(as in figure below), which means that the network has at least 2 zones to function and has 1 node managed by foundation in each of the default zones. All the zones are triangular in shape. The fork and merger of network depends on the performance. If there are waiting transactions in the network, the network starts forking and vice versa if there are no waiting transaction during block creation. The fork factor is 0.5 and merge factor is 0. It means that if number of waiting transactions is more than 50% compared to transactions added in current block. The fork point is decided based on 3 point median clusters of which the major 2 is used to split the intended network. The merger is performed similarly by identifying 3 splits of the network to merge in nearby by 1, 2 or 3 of the neighboring network’s zone suitable for merger with, so as not to increase the load in any of the neighboring networks by more than 0.8 factor.

if I personally think it's better to just choose eth and btc, sir, because the reason is that coin has got a big influence from the bounties and infestors.

Now the best investment that you should choose is the BTC coin, this is the king of the market, and I insist that if you hold the BTC you will be safe and they will bring profit to you in the future.

I think the best cryptocurrency for the year 2018 is bitcoin, bitcoin can go down as cheaply as you should be able to use it by buying and waiting until the price goes back up to the price of $ 20k again after the price goes up that expensive you can sell it and make a profit.

If you take cheap crypto-currencies, the best for investment is Ripple. I think this cryptocurrency has a great future.

Well to be honest how much risk are you willing to take , bitcoin has a valuation of 150 billion so it is a more stable coin , so it involves a slow and less volatile increase in price however if you see the initial coin offerings , then those are the ones with an exponential increase in prices and are more volatile
