I think Stellar got legs

The www.qiex.com is fraud project! Website can't open! There is also my cryptocurrency inside!

Update: Month 3 (11 Nov 2018)

Golem [GNT]  - $0.166 [-11%]
Pundi X [NPXS] - $0.00154 [-14%]
Quarkchain [QKC] - $0.05468 [+42%]
Ontology [ONT] - $1.64 [-8.1%]
Polymath [POLY] - $0.26 [+11.5%]

Polymath has taken off in the last 48 hours - currently sitting pretty at $0.255 (up about 10% from my buy price in Aug).

I agree, PundiX is one of the real gems in the crypto space.  Mega untapped potential waiting to be unleashsed!

It seems to me that PundiX is the most promising in the near future. This project has a working product and a very large market. The most important thing is that there are almost no competitors in this market.

Update: Month 2 (12 Oct 2018)

Golem [GNT]  - $0.148 [-21%]
Pundi X [NPXS] - $0.00147 [-19%]
Quarkchain [QKC] - $0.0637 [+65%]
Ontology [ONT] - $1.78 [+0.1%]
Polymath [POLY] - $0.19 [-18%]

well the above post is the start of my story of these 5, but it is far from over, actually it has just begun.

all these projects are not scams and i believe are quite solid, where as some coins in the top 20 are definitely scams - Bcash, Dash, Dogecoin....

impatient, are we?

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.
I was asking myself what to do when cryptocurrency goes down and found out that the most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on exchanges right now (Just saw that they have been listed on StocksExchange), you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/future-of-privacy-ethereum-meta-foundation-of-anonymous-e-marketplace-2659058

Think about what would add to your portfolio Refereum and Fusion, as for me it is two very promising coins have no competition.

Those are really good choices, I haven't researched on Quarkchain so not sure about it. I too have a good amount of investment in POLY and ONT. Those two are 10-15x coins for me in couple of years time frame. I'm aware of GOLEM project but not fascinate about it anymore, I have booked my partial profit in it and shifted partial of it into POLY.

And you must check out PRIVCY too, it's also an anonymous coin and they are very new. They're not doing any ICO, rather doing 20 weeks of AD to there community members, last 6 weeks remaining.

Then after posting those set of shitcoin to be on your portfolio,what will happen?What do you want us to do?If you think we will buy that coins for sure the answer is not?Thats a set of risk for our funds and we don’t wanna join the failure you might have sooner


I guess OP already fails because he doesn’t have something to share about the progress of his investments lol

The Genesis of iPowow

Back in the late Nineties I was working at a London-based TV production company. The idea was to provide viewers with a little box with plastic buttons labeled, “A, B, C, and D” that would allow them to interact live with the TV show’s host. For example, if the guest today was Brad Pitt, a question might pop up on screen with four choices like this:

What topic do you want to hear next?

Pitt’s upcoming epic sci fi thriller, Ad Astra

What happened to Angelina Jolie?

Best and worst Hollywood experience

Acting vs. producing

Viewers could then select their choice and ultimately determine the direction of the show they’re watching. In the late Nineties, the technology wasn’t where it needed to be to make interactive TV possible. But the idea of providing viewers with opportunities to engage directly with their favorite shows stuck with me.

For the next decade I produced, scripted or edited TV shows such as “BBC Top Gear,” “MasterChef,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Big Brother,” and “MythBusters.” It seemed I was the only one asking how we could get the audience engaged in real-time. Why? No viewers were asking to engage with the TV show in real-time, so why change them? This is why what’s next is more important than what’s now.

In 2010, technology had developed to a place where the idea of connecting viewers directly to TV shows in real time was finally possible. I worked with a team of engineers and TV producers to build the first prototype for iPowow. A year later, our technology allowed Sports Center to pose a question live on air to the audience like, “Who will win the superbowl this year?” Viewers use their phones to go to the Sports Center vote page to pick their team and the results of the poll show up in real time in the TV studio. Viewers feel more connected to the show, and Sports Center and their sponsors learn more about their viewers.

Turns out people do want to engage more with their favorite content, but they just didn’t know it. When we presented iPowow to TV executives at Disney, Fox, and NBC, they all went for it. We’ve since worked with all the major TV networks and Fortune 500 brands from Coca Cola, to Samsung, to Lexus.

If I’d asked viewers what they wanted to change about their TV experience in 1996, they may have told me they liked it just the way it was. This is why the mantra of what’s next drives me to continue iterating novel solutions for iPowow rather than resting on our laurels as a globally known technology for enabling participation TV.

The next development for iPowow takes engagement to the next level. We are building an initiative called the HIT Protocol, which enables viewers to get paid for watching and engaging with their favorite shows. No one asked us for this invention because people didn’t know it was possible. The advent of blockchain changed that, as the technology allows for the tokenization of activities like watching and participating in TV shows.

Here are 3 steps for anticipating what’s next instead of what’s now:

Read the signs

Though people may not be conscious of what they desire beyond the here and now, they will leave hints about what they may want in the future. This is actually how Facebook and other tech platforms know more about their users than users know about themselves. People leave clues to their unconscious desires through their actions and behaviors. Facebook has been known to predict whether a user will get married or get divorced before the user has consciously made that decision.

Trust your instincts

It’s always a good idea to listen to mentors and those who came before you, but at some point you have to trust that voice in your head (or the gut feeling you get) and go for it. If I’d listened to and accepted the way things were all those years I worked in television, I never would have built that first prototype with iPowow.

Don’t stop

If you’ve successfully built a product that people want and use, great! That’s hard to do, but don’t stop there, because there’s always the next thing. This is why, despite iPowow’s work and relationships across the TV and media industry, we are now developing the HIT Protocol to further deepen the bond between viewers, content, and brands.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

Global official sector reaction to cryptocurrencies varies as the decentralized technology does not fit easily into existing regulatory definitions and structures. This sector will likely continue to be cautious as it monitors the risks to financial integrity, consumer protection, financial stability, tax evasion and treatment, and monetary policy. Leaders in regulation, like Japan, are likely to set the standard for the rest of the world in a scenario where the borderless nature of cryptocurrencies requires a cohesive and collaborative effort.

The cryptocurrency world is an unstable and volatile place, constantly shift between bear market and bull market periods. Some investors are taking advantages of this and others not so much. Reaching a stable value cryptocurrency has long been the target of many projects that aim to take crypto a step beyond just a middle of exchange and into the land of a store of value. If I put $10.000 into Bitcoin, Ethereum or Ripple today, nobody can be guaranteed what it will be worth tomorrow which puts off businesses and everyday users that want to use crypto beyond just a speculative investment as a method to accept payments or pay salaries. Mass adoption is the ultimate aim for cryptocurrencies, but a stable cryptocurrency is needed in order to achieve that. Cryptocurrencies are reacting more like stocks and less like currency with their incredible volatility. They give more incitements to trade with them, not to pay with them. The concept of making a stable cryptocurrency is complicated. Many have tried to create such a coin and failed. In time the crypto markets will get well founded, leading to a more stable nature of the top cryptocurrencies. The crypto markets are becoming increasingly more competitive, because they are some of the easiest to trade on.

The justification for the big fluctuation of cryptocurrency prices is the supply and demand. The supply is more or less fixed but the demand is always changing due to people’s behavior and speculation. A normal currency can have a broad use, it can store value and be a unit of exchange. You can’t have a currency that isn’t backed by value. Fiat currencies are collateralized by assets and gold. If they weren’t, they would depreciate fast. Though most banks are printing money at some rate, the US dollar is the only currency that can be printed without limit from the US central bank. But the problem with printing infinite amounts of money is that they will depreciate, without being backed by value. The US dollar is experiencing something like this. Compared to the stable Euro, the US dollar is losing value at an alarming rate. A solution for this problem is currently being talked about and is planned for the future. But a solution for the stability of cryptocurrencies is something else.

With all of the talk of cryptocurrencies in today’s news, there are necessarily always going to be questions raised about “why does this have any value?” Even at face value, it’s definitely not the case when talking about cryptocurrencies as a movement generally, but even on top of that, there are certain cryptocurrencies that carry a lot more weight to them — and that’s where the INGOT Coin system comes into play.

Though there is plenty of fair skepticism of any new asset class in the expanding world of FinTech and cryptocurrencies, there are also certain coins that stick out a lot more than others. While plenty of coins and tokens rely mainly on public perception of value or speculation about the potential for value in the future, the INGOT family of coins is the first to come to the market to offer real, tangible value for the cryptocurrency. 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.

INGOT Coin will provide a platform that meets the needs of beginner as well as advanced traders to trade with minimal initial capital. IC will also provide its own cryptocurrency, which will be available on different exchanges for all investors and market participants to purchase. IC will show no bias towards any market participant and will provide fair and equal opportunities to all participants regardless of size of trade, type of order or initial capital.

To ensure no means for market manipulation and leakage of unethical or illegal money in the Ecosystem, the KYC and AML policies must suffice and exceed the needs of all parties, whether its regulators, banks, brokers or exchanges. The KYC and AML compliance may seem strict to some investors; however, this is a necessary procedure to ensure the safety of the Ecosystem and all stakeholders. This is done to make the Ecosystem trustworthy, secure, transparent and compliant; consequently, filling the Ecosystem’s singular KYC allows participants to open one account in the IC Digital Bank, the IC Exchange, the IC Brokerage, and the IC wallet simultaneously to trade crypto, fiat, and traditional instruments hereon after.

I would love to wait for your story about the 5 altcoins that you hold today. I personally still have not dared to invest in coins that rank far from the top 20. Afraid of the possibility that the coin that we have is potentially a scam coin.

Im currently into the following coins. I've arranged them based on what I feel will offer the highest potential rate of return to the lowest (Though I believe all will net a nice return.) for the upcoming year of 2019. Feel free to take a look.

1. Spectrecoin, XSPEC
2. Cardano, ADA
3. Banca, BANCA
4. IOTA, IOT
5. OmiseGo, OMG

In current market conditions, no altcoin looks like the better for short-term investment, most promising altcoin Eth drop to $200. However, there is excellent potential for long-term investments.

 

Agreed on all 3 of these! Everything is at a great buying price right now, and I am a big believer in the long term value of XSPEC as the top PoS privacy coin.  

If I was to add another 5 coins/tokens (long term not quick trades) I would go with...  

OMG
RHOC
VET
ENG
QASH

Obviously a bunch of the top 10 will likely do well short and long term also.

   I think all the lists are good, even yours. I don`t know how can anyone make the Top 5 list
without telling us about that Top 5 is about. What they have more than others?
   Higher market cap, more supporters, or something third I don`t know. Maybe it`s a list of
individual best picks, but that individual Top 5 should be pointed out.
   I have my own list, and it`s based just on which one I like more, or favor more than others.
I like all my investments equally, so I don`t wish to point out any of them, by the way I have
almost all coins from your list.
