Coinmarketcap removed Korean exchanges from their pricing system. Obviously it's a very widely used website, and the stark drop from 3.30ish to 2.70ish induced a bit of a panic sell. It's begun to recover.
It's already slated for DMM Bitcoin this week on the 11th (A Japanese exchange larger than Coinbase) so we should see healthy gains and Coinsquare (Canadian version of Coinbase) in the near future.
XRP is one of the most divisive coins in the crypto space. It's kind of hilarious. The staunch Satoshi-ites decry its lack of decentralization and that the founder is essentially the crypto version of Zuckerberg. I'm like: I don't care. Big Banks. Using Ripple. Already 'Use Case'. I holllllld ripple. Let's see where she goes. I got in at the $0.23 mark and am still feeling real real good.
And, because I'm firmly in the open-source open-information economy, I'll give y'all some heads ups (if you care at all);
Deep Brain Chain (DBC) - I highly highly recommend. It's already increased 5 over from its $.07 opening. This is the leading Crypto AI project and is a $1M USD Neo project
Q Link - Another 'Neo' project (sensing a theme? Neo is fantastic and the largest Proof of Stake coin in China. It has risen steady for the past year. It was sitting in the $20's USD around March/April of 2017 and it just spiked from the $50's USD to over $100 in the past month and could see steady growth due to more adoption. You can hold a Neon wallet for passive accumulation of Neo Gas or just keep it on Binance or KuCoin where they distribute Gas monthly and weekly, respectively.) Anyhow, Q Link is a decentralized crypto mobile phone platform. Very very interesting project. Still available under $1.
Substratum - based in Ohio, this is the leading decentralized internet server platform in the game. They will be releasing their desktop stake node platform in Q1 or Q2. At that time: watch out. Good long-term play, I love their concept and their team. It has risen risen risen in the past month but it can still be had in the $2.25 - $3.25 area right now.
WaBi - A great January play. Many big collaborations on the way by the end of this month and it has already been seeing steady rise in the past week. Data Dash's top 3 for January (if you haven't watched Data Dash, do so. He's fantastic). They are one of several competitors in the Enterprise Solutions department of product verification - RFID in this case.
Oyster Pearl: This project was settled in, undervalued I would say, in the $2.-- range but it has already started to rise again. They address two needs, simply I would add with one line of code in the back-end of website, of de-centralized cloud storage and passive revenue accumulation (Oyster Pearls) via website traffic as opposed to website advertisements (which nobody loves!) Also, Oyster Pearl is an ERC20 coin built on top of the Tangle
not the Block Chain.
The Tangle you say?!?
MIota: Iota is one of the 'beyond the blockchain' next gen technologies. Their infrastructure is based on what they term 'The Tangle'. A far more involved technology that proclaims to be safer, more secure, and faster in the crypto space. To date, they are still in the late stages of development - as they don't publicly have any well-know use case. BUT, make no mistake, in the next 1-3 years this technology could become just as widespread as blockchain. We just don't know. They experienced a bit of a false rise in December when everyone anticipated a public-declared partnership with Microsoft. It was a bit of a tease as Microsoft and Iota both simply declared they are talking and collaborating but they aren't partners. Keep an eye out here. Currently, it's been vascillating in the $3.30 - $4.06 range since the announcement. This, after peaking the $6.00 market briefly in December.
Cardano (Ada): This may be my favorite project in all of the alt coin world. This is a 3rd gen Ethereum derivative coin based on their inner-evolving core structure 'Ouroborus'. BUT, this is Ethereum on steroids. Their team is fantastic, scholarly, and diverse. This is the only peer-reviewed coin in the marketplace. AND, they are still early enough in development that you can get in with a large amount. They've risen from the $0.44 window of early December. They false peaked to the $1.30 range but have since leveled off around the $0.95 - $1.08 range. Their Daedalus wallet is still in Beta phase and I believe (off the top of my head, I can't remember) this will also be a POS coin by Q3/Q4 of this year. Their website and their map will articulate this much better. If you're in for a good interview with the founder, Charles Hoskinson, see the Spoiler below. Fantastic and revealing interview if you're really into this sector like myself:
If you're interested in a short-term (Q1/Q2) 'gamble' or, hell, even long-term play given their extremely low price: B3 Coin and NYC (New York City Coin - who, I believe is rolling out their own ATM's in NYC this month?) are both extremely low cost coins at present and
could rise eventually into that $1 range. NYC, for instance, (available at YoBit and a couple other fringe exchanges - be wary, this is like the wildhorse corral of exchanges...you have to log-in on same day from different IP's. Terrible customer service. A hilarious chat feed. But, honestly, whatever...I go here occasionally for a side hustle) is available for under a cent at present. Both coins could be a fun dip and flip coin for anyone interested. As always, w/ the penny plays in particular:
Don't invest what you can not lose. These are always little side hustle 'what if' plays. NYC is a huge market and this coin is
finally getting some legitimate publicity and development (They had been stagnant for quite awhile). We'll see. B3 Coin is one of those entities that
could rise again. They had risen into the $0.30 USD window awhile back and then crashed below a cent w/ some development set-backs
but they appear to be gaining a little bit of steam again. Case study: 2 days ago, my B3 coins rose +5,000% (!!) and are now sitting at the $0.01 - 0.03 range. I still think they are worth a play here as they could easily get to eh $1.-- by year's end. Again, these coins are just little gambles for me as I'm not fully invested in their devlopment like other projects I am actually passionate about.
AND, '
Definitely, definitely, definitely my brothers keep a devout ear and eye toward
Hash Graph. This is a next gen Texas-based crypto player who are bringing a technology to the market place called, well, I believe, the HashGraph. Ha! This has the potential to revolutionize much like the Tangle. AND, they are still in development. i.e. they have not even ICO'd as far as I now.
That's all for now, gents. Happy trading and may you experience prosperity!
