Topic: I think that ARK Ecosystem will be huge this year (Read 193 times)

I even think ARK could be a three figure coin in the near future 

Being a DPOS coin is a huge advantage, because 10% just for holding is fantastic income.

I can agree with you that ARK will grow a lot this year, maybe even crossing $40. For under $4 is a bargain.

ARKVM, Integration of Inter-planetary File System (IPFS) When they are deployed.....nothing can stop ARK.

This is my first altcoin and i still believe in ARK, they've achieved nice things and the community is so good and helpfull.

I suppose that ARK belongs to this group of the cryptos that are undervalued. It has got the coolest potential, and it is a very good coin to invest into. You can learn more about it from this video:

nice post, a brief summary of what is ARK and what can do, we definitely need to keep an eye on it

Ark is a hidden gem for 2018 as the development team is very active and is still following its roadmap. I think Ark is very underrated for what they did. In addition, Ark is the French Bitcoin, so he has a lot of potentials if the French government support the project.

ARK's ecosystems are really good and they always have new updates for investors and are planning to work with a lot of big partners. I think ARK should be seen as a new option for investors since ARK is currently falling and I am considering investing now.

Ark is HUGE !!!

Don't forget about that site 

I want to start from today's news, new SDK released (there are 10+ now)https://blog.ark.io/ark-kotlin-making-android-apps-for-ark-becomes-a-breeze-with-kotlin-aee05cfb86cf and ACES update (btc/ark service, new website and more) https://medium.com/@arkaces/aces-completes-bitcoin-ark-service-updated-website-and-releases-marketplace-api-documentation-95e26be49e11.
ArkVM is at 70% completion, CoreV2 at 56% and Push Button Deployable Blockchains at 61% you can see it buy looking at the roadmap https://ark.io/roadmap.
In a couple of months all three will be at 100% and things will get interesting (and as far as I know they'll start marketing it).
So what's gonna happen? Let's say you have a company and you want to "blockchain it", you can choose between many platforms,the way to go right now is to create an erc20 token running on ethereum blockchain.
With ARK, instead of creating smart contracts running on the main chain, you can easy fork it (thanks to PBDB), you can add ArkVM on your chain for smart contracts and your new chain will be smartbridged (connected/linked) to ARK's main chain and other forked chains creating an interoperable ecosystem.
On top of that your new chain will benefit from ACES, which right now has finished encoded listeners for ARK, BTC, LTC and ETH. ACES services are more then simple atomic swaps, for example with ETH service you can deploy smart contracts by using ARK on the Ethreum chain (the current service on the ACES website is running on Ropsten testnet).
A practical example, imagine cryptokitties on its own chain, without clogging the main chain but you'll able to buy your kitties with any coin of the ARK ecosystem plus coins/tokens provided by ACES services.
Plus I have to mention that ARK is a business entity in France, last week on France24 they even call it "le bitcoin de france" (sorry I'm not french maybe I didn't write it right )  

*Edit! ARK it's also a DPOS coin which means that you'll get a 10% interest per year on your coins by voting one of the 51 delegates!
