After investing in Initial Coin Offerings for some time, I decided to share my thoughts of which ICO's will moon in 2018 and will achieve long-term sustainability.
1. Telegram ICO - An uniquely positioned to establish the first mass-market cryptocurrency by providing a platform that combines these properties. Telegram will use its expertise in encrypted. TON aims to deliver a fast, scalable blockchain with support for decentralised applications, distributed file storage, and micropayments. As we've seen it in Marketing - people buy the brand. Therefore, this giant proves to me one of the most anticipated ICOs for this years thanks to its competitive advantage and added value, along with its international renown of the company behind.
2. KODAK - the internationally preeminent company, KODAK, failed to grasp an opportunity before in terms of digital camera. Therefore, the giant decided to seize the Cryptocurrency opportunity and to reincarnate from the ashes, stronger than ever. According to the information available, KODAKCoin allows participating photographers to take part in a new economy for photography, receive payment for licensing their work immediately upon sale, and sell their work confidently on a secure blockchain platform. The hype around it is huge and the white paper is neatly written.
3. Nucleus Vision - An IoT-based contactless identification system, empowering retailers to identify and better serve their customers. Founded in 2014 at Harvard University, Nucleus Vision is an end-to-end technology solution that captures and provides previously unaccessed data to retailers and other 'brick and mortar' businesses through its proprietary blockchain and real-time sensor technology. The ICO has an enormous potential, very solid team, and a well-written white paper, which vouches for their credibility.
4. Cointed - an ongoing ICO project whose renown surprised everyone. The company behind recently stroke alliances with Nvidia, VISA, and TAS Group, which enabled them to go into green mining. Additionally, Cointed have an existing product on the marketplace - Crypto ATMs all over Europe. The team behind it acts in a professional manner, has strong partners, and is fighting their way to the long-term sustainability of their ICO.
5. Giftz - an ongoing rewards-related ICO. The company behind stroke a partnership with the renowned ICO giant, BlockV, and together they introduced Augmented reality into the blockchain. The token works as follows: The more coins one purchases, the more buying power this person would have in their Giftz card, which, in turn, can be changed for various rewards, groceries, etc. Giftz proves to be a sustainable ICO with a professional team, and a solid product.
6. AgroTechFarm - An upcoming Initial Coin Offering, ATF farm is a Russian-based company and is a fully automated indoor appliance for cannabis and other vegetables cultivation at home. It is the first ICO of Home appliances for cannabis growing. The tokens are backed by tangible industrial assets of the enterprise and strive to conquer three of the fastest growing markets - cannabis, organic food and blockchain. Solid team, well-written whitepaper.
Feel free to add any additional promising and solid projects that you have in mind!
From your list only Telegram ICO gets my attention. The other icos seem like they have potential but the Telegram ICO is the one that will actually make the most noise in 2018.
For sure Telegram ICO has the highest potential, at least for now, simply because of the renown of the company behind. However, the rest of the ICOs will also leave a mark on the market, as I have researched many opinions on the Wide Web about them (via surveys).
