What do we really need from an altcoins, what is the next big thing?

We have anoncoin, platforms for trading and smart contracts, tokens..

Where are we heading?

Bitcoin was something completely new, can we expect another one?

It is impossible because altcoins are only a way to test new tech and make more bitcoins on them. As you can see the Bitcoin is ready to take off it is the only next big thing.

Maybe a video uploading thing that is hosted on a decentralized server?

Too much alt-coins out there already. Poloniex has decided to de-list some of them that have no or low volumes so that speaks for itself. Only purpose I see on altcoin is that they are just a pump and dump only. Creating a FUD then pump some alt coins, sell to make profit. That's it.

The amount of coins will only worsen by the minute, might as well see what coin has the plausible idea.

I'm not talking can there appear one coin who will kill BTC, just asking where are we heading? What is next, where trends taking us, what else is not already covered?  For example i still belive in anon coins, also file sharing will become more popular because one by one torrent destination falling down.

---

Yes we have too much useless coins but free trade will pick up best ones. ;)

Isn't that kinda what LBRY is trying to do? I think it's for more than just video, kinda like archive.org if I'm not mistaken.
Check out their website:

https://lbry.io/learn

I don't think they've launched yet, according do their website, they will launch in April..

no blockchains....Google directed acyclic graph.

I said it many times but will repeat again:

IOTA.

1) no fees.
2) scalable
3) b2b and machine market/Internet of Things
4) quantum secure
5) hardware support

Everything is new: new algo, new design, new use case, new source, etc.

"Next big thing" is a BIG altcoin market CRASH!

agree or BYTEBALL

An investor-centric alt coin that:

1. Is deflationary. Pretty much all cryptocurrencies are either inflationary or have neutral inflation. Deflation will help the value grow as long as demand stays steady. See: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1858954
2. Has utility via useful smart contracts which helps create and maintain demand. Gambling-focused smart contracts would IMO prove the most lucrative.
3. Has a DEX.
4. Has on chain methods to hedge against volatility of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Think.. Bitshares-like smartcoins that track the value of the USD, Gold, Silver, S&P Index, Blue Chip Stocks, etc. There is also a way to setup these smartcoins where they earn interest from trading fees, which will create more incentive for people to buy them. Also ways to create liquidity that have been unexplored yet proposed in the Bitshares community. They have chosen to let liquidity grow naturally, but there are ways to jump start liquidity.
5. Connects other blockchains together

bitbay and if it works exactly as planned then blocknet will be pretty big.

Research both make up your own mind.

Get some ARK now is the best decision you ever make.

LTC is the next big thing. undervalued, underhyped , under developed, still respected as top coin by people who have been around. There is activity now where there was none before. Kinda reminds me of dash a year or so ago.

There's a lot of it already in the market, most of us will stick in bitcoin and will keep trading just for the profit of bitcoin.  It's better to stick with the coins that are listed with the highest market cap or those that are listed in coinmarketcap.com that is better to depend on it. Don't expect another one as there are some that are existing.

You never really know when a great idea shines up. Like Bitcoin did, others can too. There are billions in this world and everyone is different..

We've seen great projects, maybe some of them are even better than Bitcoin is. But the fact that BTC was the first one gave it an advantage that will always carry with it: the trust. It's like an online shop: you're used to a great, big online shop that you knew ever since you started using the internet and you find another store that sells cheaper, but it's one you never heard of. Will you trust it as much?

Any project can turn into something HUGE. It's just about us now finding it, and it could be Ripple. Banks adopting it most probably means a big rise coming soon.

Its hard to determine whats the next coin will be the next bitcoin. If you see at poloniex. Almost all of altcoins there are at red marks. Bitcoin is very strong. When bitcoin is rising. Altcoins are crashing. I don't know. Maybe ETH, LTC, XRP could be the next big thing. Or it it hasn't born yet. Only time will tell.

There will be no next bitcoin in the future, It's just a click bait from altcoin. Bitcoin still being a mother of crypto. But there are some potential coin such as ethereum as a strong candidate to be a competitor for bitcoin itself. Litecoin as an alternative transaction for bitcoin with similar code.

we need "developers" not "business men".
and right now we have the later.
bitcoin is successful because it was made by a developer who wasn't looking to make money, you can see that after 8 years Satoshi coins has not yet moved and possibly will never move in the foreseeable future.

can you say the same thing for any of the altcoins? not at all.
ETH that everybody praise, has Vitalik who dumped a massive load on the first pump and as soon as the dumping began and took out a couple of million dollars out. and that was only 25% of his personal stash.

the rest of the altcoins are the same. they are made with one thing in mind and that one thing is "how to make more money out of it".

and as long as this is the mentality, nobody in the market will treat altcoins more than a pump and dump.

More coins is good! We need people trying new things

I think xaurum could be very big thing because their concept is very good and safe. Crypto backed by gold.

that is what we really need this time, maybe dragging eth's price to $5 is worth selling all my belongings to buy hundreds of thousands of eth. nad maybe even moneros too.

an altcoin that allow us to receive dividends every month is lucrative to investors.

To be honest you are right and 3/4 BTC are already mined so even mining is somehow centralized arround china then in terms of distribution is not. Altcoin were designed to make rich their creators mostly.
They often abandon project and move to new one BETTer once ICO/Premine money are over.

things will be recycled later and sooner premined coins are going to be ones again going.
the tokens that are going to be profitable are those platforms like Burst, Nxt, eth and waves.

HLM is the next big thing, it's based on dash but with a pow gpu algorithm and masternodes, and decentralized exchange plus probably anon features, i don't know if this is in the roadmap
check here the ANN https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1809278.0

I like this way of thinking, and this lead me to think that next big thing will be excellent coordinated airdrop, coin completely free and without POW maybe POS. Value will get from trading, and adoption.
Second why we need ICO and other similar collecting of funds, in return for promises..ETH s perfect example, i'm not sure that those collected funds are justified.

This is normal thing i believe we have youtube with amazing videos and with complete idiot behavior caught on camera..
I'm Not convinced that those coins - tokens backed for real life objects are equal in value. I remember URO and Bohan this was very promising and turn up to super huge pump, i cannot remember  if we ever after had similar one?

What about a coin with voice identifiction?
Having the wallet on the mobile phone, scanning the barcode of an interesting product and the phone asks with a ladys voice: "Price of this Product is 19 ???-coin. Do you want to buy this product?"
You: "Yes, please pay this product."
Product is bougt. Would also work with rfid.

Maybe voice is not enough, iris scan or other biometrics.

Well if you think that any project can turn into something huge, there's no doubt about it. Yes that's possible to happen but with the trust of the most crypto users will always depend on bitcoin for now and if ever there will be new that will something huge still it cannot surpass the original and it can be only next to it.

Yes Bitcoin (altcoin) for people who are blind or visually impaired, this would be nice!
But this is not something extra hard to implement in existing wallets? This could only be evolution and upgrade on existing ideas. But still i never heard someone even talked about this..Good one!
Thanks!

Why is ICO a model of financing a project most popular? How come there is no better ways of funding, instead collecting money before task is done? Why we must play how whales wants?  What happens when ICo funds are spent, ICO2? What would be better solution?

ICOs are popular because they are the only exclusive financing source you find investors ready to invest in cryptocurrency

Generally an ICO is suppose to give developers a glimpse whether users out there will welcome its idea/plan and use it and if its not successful most likely it work take off....and ICO funds are needed before task because project is at the planning stage and when funds are raised they now go into next phase of product development.

I don't think there will be a big thing in this sphere anymore. People work in some sphere and succeed very fast but then they suddenly meet the limit and stop. Bitcoin was a fresh invention, altcoins are just ways to improve it. Humanity can not go much further in this sphere yet. It was the same with cosmos once. After the first human went to open space people thought that in 20 years they'll be flying on Mars for a weekend. And what do we see? Humanity didn't go much further than human in open space since then. I think the same will be will AI, cryptos, Internet, computers. We will just switch to some completely other sphere to develop. Perhaps, medicine will be the central point and thus the next big thing.

I think will be many new things created in the future

A lot of questions about ico that can not answered

Next big thing is to not get owned by "Bubble Buddy".

I think that questions that cannot be explained or more related to human psychology.
No one denies for success except goodwill and ideas money is necessary, ICO is only one model of financing, and it goes with many risks and problems. Sucess is not garanted this way. Only collecting of funds is easier and leaves much room for corruption and fraud.

Altcoins are made only for the trading in the altcoins and bitcoin market , So the bitcoin is only the thing from which we can expect to get something new and more better ( more probably increase in confirmation speed and increase in price ;) )
Here the altcoins are only made to buy at low price and then sell it to at high price , Because most of the altcoins are not much sure like the bitcoin ( except the eth , dash , ripple like high secure altcoins , and thier security is comparable to the bitcoin ) .
So just use the altcoins simple for earning purpose instead to expect the big thing like bitcoin Because bitcoin is king and no one can take place of the bitcoin .

Go easy on the visuals, its only a week old and websites and new logos are being put in place by an enthusiasitc exploding community BUT.


Completely new consensus. NO POW, NO POS but Proof Of Signature. Static offline nodes are trusted and unhackable, Consensus is a unique virtual Chords system. This makes for fast , secure unhackable chain.

This conservative stance. Expecting that one piece of code have better chances than other because it is first delivered on this world, is funny. Bitcoin making room for those who will come, as every progress in human history, one wheel is needed for start.

A way to move fiat in / out a blockchain that no bank can stop, or is fault tolerant, so it just uses another bank account in another jurisdiction, so a true decentralized exchange.

So something like this

Holding company X opens 10 companies that then go not to open 10 companies and they do the same.

so now you have 1000 companies at the lowest level.

Then are all tokened out onto say eth or something to bind them together as to shares

Theses companies open up multiple commercial bank accounts in multiple jurisdictions.

They are paid out in their token as long as there accounts are open an operating. Where then fail, more companies are instantiated.

This then allows fiat to be moved in an out of the companies via the tokens, no matter which subset of companies you chose.

Each company has say 10 bank accounts in various jurisdictions.

This you have 1000 bank accounts around the world.


IF you abstract out another 2 levels then 100,000 bank accounts.

Each company is then spun of legally except of obligations and incentives to the token system into its own legal entity.

At this point is becomes too hard to chase down all the bank accounts for any single jurisdiction and new ones just pop up anyway for ones that a re killed off.

Some sort of reserve fund system to minimize where a few losses are made due to frozen assets in 1~20 accounts.

But this way you have opened up a fiat gateway into the legacy system that is near impossible to kill and decentralized.

Also certain banks may want to keep the account open when they see the shear volume of funds coming their way.

A token/coin/scheme/contract system that can do this will be the next big thing.

Fees will be say 0.001% of all transactions which go to the coin/token holders and assurance/incentive fund.

Stop abusing us with this scam

This is not something hard for accomplish and this will be implemented Ethereum blockchain, maybe something similar is in progress already. We already have Projects with endless possibilities like ETH, Waves, KMD..Those teams will surprise us with many new features for sure!

Having done some DD over the last 24 hours I believe XEM and Dash are probably the 2 cryptos with the technology to fix the problems bitcoin has.  With catapult coming and mijin which is a private blockchain based on XEM used by banking institutions, the low transaction fee and much higher capacity of transactions per second... bitcoin typically does 2-5 per second where XEM can handle 3000+ and catapult will improve upon that. Dash is also looking at ways to improve this. Probably the most important aspect of using these as a currency... low fees and fast transaction speed.  Transparency is also important... no coin where the transactions are not traceable will ever gain widespread mainstream adoption. Transparency is a requirement.   


I'm continuing to do DD.   Thanks to the youtube guy "let's invest" ... learned quite a bit.   Check out some of his youtube videos.. he's looked at a lot of shitcoins to try to find gems and couldn't find any.. looks like the market has already correctly decided which coins deserve attention.

Yes, it seems that ETH token /contract is the "in" now a days. Ethereum strategy a good one. They created a token based platform and anyone can create their own coins.With this, they are creating their own ecosystem within their platform.

This strategy reminds me of John D. Rockefeller Jr donation of the land for United Nations. He gained increase of a value of all others partitions around UN. Vitalik Buterin certainly was inspired with this. :D
http://cosa-is.com/images/UN.jpg

I would say Litecoin is the next big hit after SegWit implementation and its adoption of Coinbase. I would bet on this ;) ( I already have :P )

In bitcointalk the term "scam" used to describe successful innovate projects: previous scams are Ethereum, NEM, etc.

Possibly stating the obvious: ETH is next big thing.

If this project give back profit to its investors than cannot be called scam! Some people like me do not like ICO projects but that doesn't mean i don't use them for profit once when they already shows integrity.  I won't judge, i will watch quietly.

I'm not, sure LTC now looks like a balloon, this will end up with classic dump. All this story about SegWit, Coinbase are used by the whales, as always. I'm out for now. It  is just a good year for alts, but this doesn mean we found Eldorado!

LTC ;D

DECENT is doing it.

DOGETH has a super low marketcap and has been getting some attention. This one has huge potential to make some money.

https://yobit.net/en/trade/DOGETH/BTC

http://pepeauctions.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/dogeth.jpg

Those pumps on Yobit are funny(3btc's?), mainly those are coins without support or without developer. I looked upon this coin and i don't find anything interesting, copy paste like many, takeover in progress.. This is pure gamble if you ask me.

Indeed! The cryptocurrency market (Bitcoin and altcoins) is still in its infancy hence there are still no fixed rules and regulations when introducing a digital currency to the market. That situation is opening up for many scam artists to be a part of the show and feel some legitimacy they have been craving for.

It is so hard to categorically say that a certain coin is scam or not but what we can do is do our diligence and decide on what we know and on our own analysis since we are using our own money.

Scammers don't surprise me at all. Members who know what is all about and they are involved won't warn you about, instead they will try anything to involve and you so they can restore their investment. This is dangerous, especially now when we do not have choice, all new tokens are based on crowdfunding.

i think it will be LTC  :)

obviously legends room. sex always sell.

Bancor will become the next big thing in my mind. They ve already launched the main net and already try to run their testing product on the main net. It's really promising to be the next big thing in the future.
Don't miss your chance with bancor.  ;)

Definitely Bancor, it is cryptocurrency 3.0

Not the big thing but is going to 2x 3x soon
TRST coin. A lot of VC and big companies throwing money to Fintech and microloans

It is very hard to expect what next will be good opportunity when BTC mooning. And nobody knows when this train going to jump from its rails and creates madness. Maybe future have backed coins like OneGram, it seems that they are legitim project, i hope this wont be URO NO.2.
For digital money most important is stability, changing of value dramatically cannot be tolerated, such crypto cannot be used as money.

Yes, people are expecting different kinds of development from the major companies. It will attract more people once we see different features from these companies.

I used to be a promoter of legends room I  have nothing against them we are talking about coin features not a service or products and obviously legends room is a service site that uses crypto currency nothing more.

Problem of a crypto is lack of stability and absence of regulations, so big capital will be out of reach. This might change with entrance of big industry names in this game. This is biggest what can happend, good old takeover of good ideas.

Many say Tezos, but also many said Gnosis, still nothing there.

Id say Ripple, havent bought yet but it's going up fast and steady.
Still the Mistery of Development and they Shady number of coins circulating is worring me... shall i invest?

I think Gulden.

Totally agree with 50cent_rapper. IOTA is next big thing!

ACOIN is currently a $44,000 marketcap coin... putting it pretty far down the list. However, it's hashrate is one of the highest around at #6. It's higher than ETH, LTC, DOGE, DASH, and many other reputable larger marketcap coins. Why would ACOIN have so much mining interest? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would imagine the miners know something that we don't. They wouldn't just waste money mining a coin that they can't sell at a good price right? If I had to make a bet, I think someone is expecting these coins to be way more valuable in the near future. Even if the coin got to just a $1,000,000 marketcap which is very small compared to the other coins with the same hashrate, you're looking at x20 your investment or more at the current price.

Diamond in the rough? I think so. Let me know what you think about this coins situation.

Here is a live list of the coins sorted by hashrate: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency?sort=hashrate&dir=desc

Yes no doubt about that, I think they are still working on their service, although they have launched their service on their main network but still they are going to  bring something new that can be really new for the people.  Hope that we are expecting some thing great from bancor.

XBY is blowing up at the moment in a similar way NXT did some years back. I haven't seen a community and coin develop as rapidly as this.


https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xtrabytes/


The don't miss the train clique is actually true for this one.

Invest in hybrid coins which have POS + POW algorythms. If Ethereum switches to a mixed algorythm many alts might follow. Vitalik said it was just not safe to go full POS right now: https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/851503370250661889

Yes that is right that as soon as bitcoin is solving scalabitiy issues, I do not think that we can expect any big thing to happen in altcoin industry, as bitcoin is now being adopted in more rapid manner, people are now getting more facilities from bitcoin therefore I think still bitcoin is the big thing that is still people are serving.

Which is why XBY is big news. No POW, NO POS but a new way to run a blockchain that is hacking proof.

You wrote your concerns and still asking yourself should you invest or not? This is centralized coin i cannot find anything interesting except maybe joining a pump to gain profit, longer term this is distracting attention from real values, Decentralisation is the future.

This make sense! I believe this is service which is paid in BTC's, i would say this is BTC adoption.

TOR coin is interesting. It is fully anonymous and rewards you for running nodes. Bitcoin is too expenaive to run miners, i think altcoins are better in a lot of ways bwcause of the smaller communities

I don't know, don't like big premine this can be dangerous.

On the other hand they are running good campaign to gain more investors, this might end up like a very nice pump . Nodes are not something new and they are known as vulnerable to attacks, so they cannot be an major point of attraction. Yes alt-coins are far better than mining.

("The next big thing) is that many of the giant altcoin markets.

So many in the market all altcoins have a potential to becoming like bitcoin but the closest is eth, ltc, xrm, xem etc when you compare it in the bitcoin price but considering they can all be successful at the same time and also considering that they are just alternative.

I'm not sure if this artificial rise of altcoins can be taken for granted, and this potential is based on promises and is proven through PND, i don't see one  used in real life that has real value, not predicted value estimated trough Marketcup.
*Majority here talks about Maketcup, which can be manipulated through total number of coin and do not represent value of a coin or token..

XRP if you see their recent changes and get well educated on it, then it is an easy buy.

ETH was definitely not the first to do that. NXT, NEM, BURST, COUNTERPARTY and many others far long before ETH even existed had this concept and are used for making your own tokens.

Yes, but different from past implementations, Ethereum created a way for these issued assets to be controlled autonomously with smart contracts. I think that is a big difference is between Ethereum and past asset issuing implementations.

..."we need "developers" not "business men".
and right now we have the later."


On the contrary the industry needs the capability for mass advertising, promotion and education. "MASS"!  That is the next wave.

It is, yes. And this is part of the reason for a lot of the ill-feeling towards Ripple... instead of going for widespread public adoption they're bypassing it and working direct with the banks.
(this is not a pro- OR anti-Ripple post!)

Ripple is not positioning itself as a currency nor is Ethereum. It would seem that Dash would be next in line if they don't fix this scaling issue soon.

Ethereum-based tokens are the best. ALl of them are good and we can earn a good profit from it. The prices always go up after they are listed on some exchange. They are the best

I think something like Storj (blockchain-based cloud storage).

I think that ltiecoin will be the next big thing because you need to know that they have activated the segwit and soon they will also have the lighting network for litecoin

Here's the next big thing that no one has heard of yet..scroll down and read the paragraph.


https://github.com/borzalom/XtraBYtes




And don't believe any project like IOTA that says its quantum computer safe, it's not...this is.

I think where we are headed is ETH and XRP probably. BTC still to be used by us and regular people.

BTC in a way is the reaosn these altcoins keep coming up. The price of the altcoins are mainly based in BTC on exchanges and determine their worth. Lately XRP and ETH have been pulling away from being based on BTC and will probably keep going up in value.

ETH still has 2 more updates to do before it is completed.

As expected, congratulation XEM for passing LTC and taking the number 4 spot. The road to $2 billion continues. With tech that is as good as Ethereum's but just in a different way, more as a scalable currency rather than an application platform but with some great functions, it will be at $4B market cap before you get a fraction of the posters to mention it... by the time it hits $6B  people will finally be recommending it.  Not  trying to hype it, it's just plain as day to me. No brainer.   While people are focusing on patches like segwit in the forums we have superior tech already trading, and it's in the number 4 spot now.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nem/comments/6bt0nt/massive_news_for_nem_and_mijin_in_japan/


The largest online bank in Japan has been testing Mijin since 2015 and has had a 90% cost reduction. With faster transactions and a much more secure network than Ripple, being far more easily customization, NEM is really taking off with all sorts of businesses with implementations ready today.

Reddcoin is primed and ready to take us to lambo-ville boys.

Stratis is next big thing, all implemented in C# platform, beneficial for C# devs.

What is NEM whoa?

Buy Arkkkk before its too late... you will regret not buying Ark 2 months from now

Towards the end of the season, very many new coins emerging and have a very good rate and very feasible to make investment

This talk is not only about existing coins, also it about new ideas and new perspectives for the future. Will there be only one coin amd one solution in the future are there is room for many? What is yet uncovered? Which other problems exists that can be solved using block-chain? Do we have new better protocol which can replace P2P? This is also what i would like o hear.

Next big thing is LISK!  ;)

Lisk team holds too much voting weight, this is centralization. ETH is centralized also, why we suddenly going in wrong direction? What happened meanwhile ? This talk about this kind of future can end here.
Why those teams must hold control, when they are already paid through ICO?

SIA is the next big thing :)

trustchain is the next big thing!

In my view SONM.io is a very interesting project

Next big thing is SONM.io

how so?

and where to buy?

I believe ArtByte, the coin that supports artists around the world is the next big thing. No pump & dump coin, a coin with a real community that has consistently grown in value for 3 years.


ArtByte breaks a million dollar market cap!

Platforms that can do it all and to scale - Waves has all of the above in short term roadmap and tokens/trading now. Ethereum could have all that as well, and we are yet to see what Ardor will look like.
I think the tech is fast approaching production level maturity - Etherium and Waves will be huge when the vast potential is realised by the mainstream. So huge, in fact, that in a short while people will be using Bitcoin tokens without even realising they are not technically bitcoins and the Bitcoin scaling won't matter when the majority of BTC transactions are handled on and off the BTC blockchain by a few hundred trusted gateways via these platforms. I think the banks and a few other industries will be reeling in a couple of years.

Take a look at ICASH and VGINA both have active devs and look promising. Some sell VGINA after the swap still for low price on nova. Join slack if you have questions

I'm sure that Banks will be more creative and will bring their own solutions..
When i read name of this coin i can't stay calm, this makes LOL, and one should take this seriously? I won't bother myself even to investigate this. Those times when MEME and colorful names were key for success are gone.

Bancor..

Tezos & Radix/Emunie

I'm a bit wary of Tezos with the uncapped ICO.

In my opinion next big thing is Minereum (MNE) current being traded at Livecoin.net at rate 0.0027 BTC with more than 150 Bitcoin volume. This is first of its kind token on Ethereum chain for smart contract of self mining. It has gotten huge attention and more and people are buying it for past 2 days. Once it hits Bittrex type exchange price will touch $10 at least.

this!!!!!!!!!! ark is the best project atm

not sure what you are meaning with "uncapped ICO"  ::) ???

How do you figure? Please explain.

Buy LISK. It is on Poloniex and is the only coin that was not yet pumped by this exchange.

LBRY. not pumped yet. potential 100-200m$ marketcap so like x10. You are not going to get much more on short term with any other coin i believe.

nice tip. I have not checked polo recently and thanks for this notice, I will hold more lisk and waait for the price to be pumped. Poloniex is really a jerk since they can easily drive a market in the way they want

Seconding LBRY. It has had very little press compared to how far it has come. Just wait until the strong hands come across it...

At the way things are going in the market, everything is the next big thing.

This happens when you have only one major exchange, we need Trex to return on its place and help us all. But major whales are at Polo. Or maybe another good exchange?

At the moment but this heavenly situation won't last forever, some selection will be made sooner or later.

It needs to be something with a totally new technology, like byteball. Not another clone coin

@rmyg5907
Crash can happen, but won't be so disastrous as many expecting now, and this will vary from coin to coin. I just can't imagine picture XMR and DASH at bottom. We can see manipulations in price but catastrophic crashes i think we wont see, at lest not in top 10 coins.

I agree with you buddy MNE could be the next big thing.

Ark is a huge thing, so it must be big

as bitcoin s active therefore we can expect anything new only from bitcoin and nothing else.as you can see that the price of bitcoin has already cross 2000 USD level and that is what  think very new for the market.

Ark has a strong community and is doing a great publicity... It has all cards to grow massively as soon as all early dumpers has dumped their funds

BitBay is going to revolutionize Decentralized Marketplaces.

my opinion , FLDC maybe the next big pumped, see the EMC2 and PINK already pump to over 1000 satoshi, i bet on FLDC for now!

Altcoins are first created to provide some main features like anonymity which is not provided by bitcoin.For example,we could say Monero,Zcash are created mainly for that reason.But still altcoins lack the trust which bitcoin has gained.Being pioneer in crypto field may be the main reason for bitcoin to be more popular.If only any one of altcoin gains trust like bitcointhen only we would be able to see the change.

Things are accelerating for the sleeping giant.

I personally never study ark so much but to me I think Ethereum can show something new. I am hopeful that in future Ethereum is going to show something that we ate even not expecting from it. as Ethereum is the second best option to invest in.

I'm a completely newby and had a little bit of money to invest, after reading this thread and looking at various projects I decided to invest in ARK, Waves and ETH.

Do we think there's much potential for ETH to continue to rise?

Not sure whether to put a little bit into XRP too...   by the sounds of it the banks start using it, it could boom?

BitBay for some solid gains on a more established coin.

Minereum for 1000%+ returns and a low earth orbit launch.

Buy XST. It will be epic-pumped this summer. Mark my words!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=836009

Buying right now. This is going huge.

I want to say the ark is a very qualified altcoin, because they have a very good developer and team and think about the development of altcoin they built at the time.

News in crypto world are always used for manipulations of price, and what you see now is not real representation, can lead you to a trap, to buy at the top. Before any investment you must take your time to investigate furthermore. You cannot take this as a guidance.

Bitcoin was first to break ice, and had very hard task to gain trust, as completely new way of thinking. Environment for all others is not the same, and terms are different completely in favor of newcomers. if you have good idea and have resources you can create something over night and sell it tomorrow till the last token.
This fact can lead you to logical answers, something bigger will come..

Minerium, Lisk, Lbry and Waves have potential.

1. Radix
Ico will begin in june

2. Tezos
Ico programmed in june

3. Minereum
The first self mined coin based on ethereum!
You can buy it very very cheap on livecoin

4. Ark
Listed on bittrex!

Ardor for sure

What I meant about Tezos uncapped ICO (a few pages ago, sorry, I'm a bit slow to reply!)...

I've since found a good post about it:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6am251/what_are_everyones_thoughts_on_tezos_coinss_ico/

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it makes me wary.

These alt coins are hoping to be the next Bitcoin if sometime it will just die then they are there to take its place which in fact Bitcoin is irreplaceable. Alt coins is a good one to earn profits from it thru trading and some good little things more.

I don't believe in this, everything can be replaced especially when we are talking about software and hardware..Your statement is about what is more convenient for us to believe, not necessary logical and truthful, no one knows what it going to happened.
Already we have examples where few good alts have raising success, this do not necessary means Bitcoin demise, this is what is good part in all this.

I found Bancor, proposing a solution for liquidity..
https://bancor.network/static/Bancor_Protocol_Whitepaper_en.pdf

Sonm and Bancor but going to look at Ark and Minerium and possibly Xtrabytes.

Personally I think the next big thing is not going to be a coin but a service, there are already decentralized exchanges, but there are some problems with them, we need those problems resolved so we are not dependent on centralized exchanges anymore, exchanges have centralized bitcoin we need to do something about it and decentralized exchanges are the answer.

The next big project like bitcoin is SONM the project that will replace PoW Check the thread at the ANN section

Yes probably platforms which can be custom modified for business needs.
Exchanges, Markets, Lending services..More is better!
POW is still very popular, it is obsolete and bad and must be replaced, but at this situation is most popular..All coins that don't have support from miners are in start handicapped, POW greed is more than needed for network security.

I think altcoin are produce of bitcoin. Whatever came as altcoin was due to bitcoins trend in the market. People may have tried to invent new coins which turned as altcoin in later times. And yes it is worth it that it happens and I guess nothing big can come apart from bitcoin now. That's the top most and worldwide virtual currency and no one can bit that thing.

For me, I think the next big thing happen were a lot of altcoins were newly open. Due to high amount of cryptocurrencies in the market, possibly they develop new altcoins to beat the value of bitcoin. However, I think bitcoin in the digital currencies will explodes because of continues raising up in the market.

I think in the coming year there is an altcoin that can compete with ETH.

we need "developers" not "business men".
and right now we have the later.
bitcoin is successful because it was made by a developer who wasn't looking to make money, you can see that after 8 years Satoshi coins has not yet moved and possibly will never move in the foreseeable future.

can you say the same thing for any of the altcoins? not at all.
ETH that everybody praise, has Vitalik who dumped a massive load on the first pump and as soon as the dumping began and took out a couple of million dollars out. and that was only 25% of his personal stash.

the rest of the altcoins are the same. they are made with one thing in mind and that one thing is "how to make more money out of it".

and as long as this is the mentality, nobody in the market will treat altcoins more than a pump and dump.


I completely agree with the poster of the above. (Bitseller) This is just the facts.

Could probably be Byteball -> No blockchain and therefore no scaling issues!

obviously legends room. sex always sell

Something that has actually real world utility and B2B.

It already is coming IMO, but like anything in Crypto Currency it will surprise most people because with a good well funded team with the great idea, the next great thing will actually work with business as a business to be scalable, secure, low cost, be usable and integrated with business processes.

I think it's more like we will learn the advantages of the altcoins which exist already.  Ethereum, Litecoin and some others have shown that they are great coins to use, but most people, even among those who use bitcoin already, don't bother to take a closer look at them, maybe because of the lack of time, but still. IMO Ripple has a big potential, although it is ideologically an opposite to bitcoin thing and bitcoin fans will never accept it.

A Virtual Country on the Blockchain is my main interest now. We need an automated country on the Blockchain with  Mortgage for Citizens, Schools, private security, transparent tax system, Industries, Embassies, Healthcare, jobs etc

Some of these Ethereum-based protocols that solve real world problems and have the potential to attract mainstream users to crypto, like Aventus! Check it out: https://aventus.io. It is an event ticketing solution that eliminates unregulated touting and counterfeit tickets!

etherum feels real threat to bitcoins as the way its going up..  :'(

I think Minereum will get some well deserved attention soon  8)

well, ripple is a good competitor since it did surpass ethreum in early this year

IOTA will whirl around the TOP 10 soon :)

Never heard about this coin. i will check the info when I have a chance

Blocknet are the next big thing

Bitbay at Xmas when the implement their peg also

not sure about blocknet, but I agree regarding Bitbay

I agree with BITBAY too ..

But I do not agree with Blocknet either.

Remember to look also at the side of Zencash and Zcoin ... and Darcrus ..

But I do not think you will see these altcoins at current prices!

Next big thing happen in cryptocurrencies world are a lot of altcoins were open and give opportunity to the other users. In addition I was expecting of price increasing in all altcoins. However, all I can says is speculations and no proof. I'm hoping all I can say happen in the future.

It's amazing how ppl tend to forget how waves is performing.

First altcoin with an decentralized exchange
First altcoin with fiat in the blockchain

And yeah compared to ICO's Waves is the only altcoin that can compete with Ethereum at the moment. And then we are talking about ICO"s which raised milllions.

Wow, minereum has just doubled since this post  :o

Minereum is a promising project. I am in it from the beginning and profits are great!

I want the next big thing to be the altcoins that I am holding in high volume..Doges and Litecoin... ;). Of course who wouldn't want that. It will be really a blast when dogecoin finally picks up.

Right, and it is very undervalued right now. If you consider the actual supply, other coins are valued over $100.
If it hit bittrex or poloniex in next days, value will rocket

I didn't notice anyone mentioning stratis right now but could anyone care to look for its state right now its frequesntyl rising and i don't see any point that they will go down for now and this coin got promising future since the volume as of now are pretty much huge and surely stratis will be one of my hodl coin for now.

Aragon is almost certainly the next big thing because it will bring real companies to the crypto market where as other alts just leech the money coming bitcoin and ethereum. Being able to run your company directly onto the Aragon network will be huge and save startups loads of funds they would otherwise spend.

There are a few others that also aim to offer real world services and these are the ones that will be successful because there is only so much money that can flow into the crypto market without offering anything of real world value.

What is Minereum? Can't find ANN thread. Exchanges to buy?

Minereum tread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1867535.2460
tradeble on :      https://www.livecoin.net/en/trade/index

and have a look on QTUM, listed on chinese exchanges only.

With these two coins you will make a large profit

Thanks, two very interesting projects. I will buy both of them

I think Status.im (https://status.im/ (https://status.im/)) will be big. I hope that our coin, AVT (https://aventus.io (https://aventus.io)) will also be but of course that is a bit biaesd  :)

It's already a big thing, but it surely will go to the top: WAVES ;)

BTC Dominance cooled down to 45.0% today. The market share of promising projects or altcoins increasing significantly. From this point of view, investors are looking for altcoins providing real benefits.

Anything NOT-ICO ? I didn't mined anything for almost 1 year lol, need some internment.
 

Do you know when Minereum will get on bittrex or poloniex? I prefer to buy there

Minereum is classic pump and dump, check historic prices and don't trust anyone here.

what we really need from altcoin is we want to make money from altcoin in market exchanges. with so many altcoin released in every week or every month, we have a chance to make profit with them. although bitcoin is a new thing that people know, at least, we know that altcoin present is helping us to make money in bitcoin.

At this time Stratis is killing it. So i prefer to invest in coins with potential.

Ark is a solid project, but so is Wings and Waves. I also tried to invest 1BTC in the new ETH tokens with potential, TIME, GUP etc.

Why you spread fud about a thing you do not know anything about????
Minereum is brand new and extremely undervalued

I didn`t hear about this two coins by now, I will take a look, but like some other members here I also prefer to buy coins on some trusted exchange site, but anyway I will take a look on this two coins and if I like what I see I will buy some.
Next big thing, well I need to mention dgb, this coin made nice increase in last month,ripple also. they were very cheap and now they cost a lot more then before. XEM, maybe even BTS, siacoin, I hold some of this coin, they are cheap and maybe one of this coin have promising future.

What you have found?  ;)

I just said it's pump & dump currently. You just need to check the chart.

You are wrong. Check minereum.com and have a look to features...
Come back in a month and you will see it is a serious project

You should know that alt coins are used mostly to make more bitcoins rather than to be taken seriously. Though there are some coins who are much good and has a potential though bitcoin would stay as the major cryptocurrency than any other. Bitcoin is known as the king of all cryptocurrencies after all.   

IMHO Ethereum has done very well against bitcoin, and it will not take many time until ethereum will overtake the King  ;)
But there are other coins, which should be in every portfolio.. XRP, XEM, ETC, ... and there are some coins with very very good growth campanches, like MNE, QTUM, ...
and finally, there are coming some very interesting ICO, like radix, tezos and maybe Ignis

hope this is useful for someone

When bitcoin arose in Satoshi's mind, the impact it caused was so great that it has come to revolutionize the economy of the world because of how innovative it was to be the blockchain technology. Apparently no one expected that such a brilliant idea would emerge suddenly, so I am also convinced that somewhere in the world, in the secrecy and discretion of a genius or group of geniuses, surely an idea will be cooking even more disruptive that perhaps at this moment we can not imagine.

I am sure that quantum computing will have much to contribute to this fascinating world of alternate economy, as technology is always advancing every day and I do not think bitcoin is the most advanced possibility the human mind can create.

I agree, the value is getting better.

Blocknet - get in quick! Going to $50

I actually believe LTC is going to jump up high the same manner ETH did a few months ago.

I think more and more new altcoin is getting better, competition is getting tougher and altcoin will keep updating its technology. Transaction traffic becomes very large.

When a lot of coins appearing more and more projects ico good signature campaign, social media campaign or other. It will certainly add work to the participants because it will be greater profit generated

People really aren't discovering XtraBytes still. It's risen more than 1000% in May. No POW, no POS, solves 51% attack. Still relatively cheap. It's a billion dollar top 10 coin I'm sure of it. Join the slack it already has 700 members in a few weeks. It still isn't on a major excnage.


http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/xtrabytes/#charts

I agree! But i hope that will not happen so fast.

I am sure tezos will be big..but it has no ico yet..from existing one.. I think it is safe to say strtis and waves will be the next big ones, let say one year from now, both will be in at least usd50 to usd100 range....

This would be only logical thing now, lot of people expecting now LTC to surpass ETH.
Also this can be cause unstable market, because every new project being pumped, people jumps from one to another token, creating confusion and situation where technology is not important, only gain.

Used current pricedrop to buy new MNE...

The only real coins that I respect are ones that address bitcoin's scalability limitations. After going through that entire list on coinmarketcap there's very few I'm actually interested in myself though there's likely a couple that I missed.  All these coins that offer niche services are never going to take off because nobody is going to use them, and if companies do they'll just rip off the blockchain and make their own version because everything's open source anyways.  Take care of the scalability first and you can throw those other features in any old blockchain.  Not many coins are actually designed to address bitcoin's limitations.. my list is under 10 coins in that entire list of 300+... the most interesting is pascal which offers blockchain trim, and xtrabytes with the static nodes, and NEM for pure transactions per second but actually confirmed it runs at those speeds in real world situations, and there's a couple others I won't mention because I didn't buy them yet but I'll give you a hint... child chains.

Is that what typically happens when new coins hit those larger exchanges?

It will open it up to a larger pool of potential investors. Early adopters will sell in to the news securing their gains in the process.

Is there an example chart of a coin before and after being added to Polo/Bittrex?

Do you trust them? I'd like to get some QTUM but I'm not sure about the Chinese exchanges...

About listing to Poloniex, I know Poloniex in next time will not listed any altcoin, but I not know why not? We can wait Bittrex listing MNE and take our profit, agree Minereum is a promising project, very good and can long-term

The some among the new icos will rise very fast in this year according to the course of their project.

I think IOTA is the Next big Thing!

IOTA, Byteball, Raiblocks - take your pick.

Altcoins are made after the success of bitcoin. But some altcoins now are performing better.
They are trying to surpass bitcoin. In logical thinking of course they can surpass it when the market cap is increasing.
Eth and ripple are the next big thing in altcoins.

Ripple is a centralised piece of shit. When the devs release the billions of coins they still have it is done. It is just a private fiat currency and nothing more.

I think there still be some altcoin which have potential like:
ANT or STRAT

Lisk

Smart Contracts in theory are the next big thing, but in practice...

I like Byteball though they give out too much money to the people so the price of it goes down some. I like how they did some sort of Bitcoin census that showed how many people are holding over a single Bitcoin in their wallets, that’s progress for Bitcoin even if it don’t look like it.

Minereum.

Lisk - Javascript, a lot of possibility to webdevelopers.
Minereum - self mining, easy token creation service
Syscoin - global marketplace, will be integrated with mainstream platforms such as Magento, Shopify, OpenCart, and Prestashop. Microsoft :)

Its amazing that people on this forum think they are highligting big things before they already are. Iota etc have been big projects for years and is already a billion bucks. How is that the next big thing

XbtraBYtes is real early and will be the next big thing.i know cause none of you ico countdown fools actually ever heard of it.

It sounds like something new to me. What are the innovations of it?

Do they at least have a website and a whitepaper?

yes mr. google

Stratis and Ark.

i think waves. they have great projects.

its market volume may pass polo and bittrex next year.

and bnt.

they have a good project too.

I believe Aragon will be the next big thing cause its bringing utility to the real world and not just the crypto space.

People will be able to manage virtual companies without wasting funds on physical office space improving the efficiency of startups.

Another vote for Aragon here.

One vote for Ardor here.

Who votes for coins he does not own    ;)

Byteball for sure. I do not like other coin such as IOTA or raiblock. RAiblock is too common and people only care about it because they can make money from captcha. IOTA smells fishy

Byteball MarketKap is already over the top at $170M and they issued only 250k tokens out of a max of 1Million.

I see very little potential: ultimately, price will be divided by 4 by token generation, and even if MK reaches $1B, that will only realize a mild increase vs today's price per coin. And this is the best scenario possible.
Correct me if I am wrong, but there is more risk to see the price divided by 4 than seeing a +30% raise.
My 50cents.


The coins with the most potential today are, imho:

Wagerr: massive market, clear blockchain use case.

XVG (Verge)

VOX (voxels), albeit the use case for VR is not yet there, VR is booming like crazy, especially in China (huge market for gaming). and the team behind  is truly bada$$, ith not only developpers, but CEOs and business people.

NXT (could be the next ETH)

ARK, because mass adoption of blockchain is at the door, and bc the MK vs. token supply shows a massive potential

DGB, because everybody thought they had LOST the challenge while they were put in next round. Even if they lose, they would have access to a myriad of business contact and could use that to make a massive difference vs a "dev-only" team.

BTC of course: with only 21M tokens and a global market of trillions, this coin has a bright future. But BTC needs to evolve (fork coming?). Moreover, most coins are tied to BTC price, hence when you invest in them, you sort-of invest in BTC.


Of course, stay away from IOTA... and generally far from any "dev-only" team without a strong business sense. Technology is mature, what makes the difference is use case + business model. (see Monaco: great use case, but poor business model... albeit the tech is ok)

Footballcoin:there is a lot a money in the footballworld,a lot of buyers taking a lot massive amounth of coins as i see in there site.
The coin will be a great succes because it's real use for games and other stuff in football.

They are all lattice type cryptocurrencies. And when the technology becomes popular, every coin that has the same tech rallies. Just look at the cryptonotes, the masternode types and of course the litecoin clones. They had their heyday back then.

Byteball is very potential. I am trying to buy as many gbyte as I can and according to my information, there are still about 8 distribution left so that there are still many chances for you to earn more gbyte. If you have 2 gbyte, after 8 distribution, you will have 8gbyte. And I do believe that the price will continue to go up in the future

are they going to open its ICO, and when is it expected. i am also interested to do som investment,  but i really do not know about their procedure, i am also thinking that this coin can also become succeeded, because i personally heard about this project from the people.

Gambling tokens are the next big thing that no one regards until boom, they are expensive shit.

Are you mean ICOs from gambling? As TrueFlip, iDice ICOs project?

The next big ones: dao.casino, patientory, matchpool and stratis

Did you see the team for patientori?!? No experience AT ALL in the health industry.

Can you develop regarding the others? (Except stratis)
Dao.casino: how is it better than the competition ? (Especially Wagerr making a lot of noise today)

Has anyone seen this? T.E.T.O - trustless total order for transactions in a DAG based cryptocurrency (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1992827.0)

The DAG technology seems to be quite solid, but I did not understand how mining decentralization fits into this.

Matchpool: They didn't do anything since april 2017. Nothing really out there. And the price of GUP is dead.

Stratis: It is just hyped nothing else.

Dao.casino: They're okay, because the people found it trusted and they will produce gambling protocols for the other gambling projects.

Assessing the situation right know i believe no one can really predict the next big one accurately. I mean the life itself is so complex and when it comes to crypto i guess 4x complexity is safe to say.

Yeah thats the right thing to do with hundreds of altcoins by some exchanges.
They should filter these coins if its a shitcoin or not so beginners will not be confuse about this. It would be a big help to all of us too.

from what i see now, there are a lot of ICOs but Poloniex not list any of them. i think they really serious about coin that request to listed on their exchange. so there are not much PnD sceme in their exchanger

There is also FootyCash (Foot).

Here is why FootyCash will be the next big thing:

Footy Cash (FOOT) has seen a meteoric rise in valuation for the past month; with a price increase of more than 5000%+ on multiple exchanges.

https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=FOOT_BTC#

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1374929.0

I think the reason being is that:

1. Footy has Rarity - Only 4 million coins total can exist.  There is a small POS inflation rate - about 3% annually (for staked coins only).
How many of you can say like the Winklevoss twins - that you own whole percentages of a cryptocurrency.  
Looking the current price of FootyCash you actually might be able to!

2. Footy is the first Fantasy Sports Crypotocurrency ever made. - Footy is the Bitcoin of Fantasy Sports!

3. Fantasy Sports is a multi-billion dollar industry - with tens of billions of dollars in annual revenue just for Fantasy Football alone!  If you count all the illegal gambling the figure goes much higher - maybe hundreds of billions? (not that I am condoning illegal gambling - but it's a fact of reality that must be considered anyway).

4. Coinmarketcap list just under 900 altcoins; of those listed only a  small percentage of altcoins have a cap of less than 4 million total coin.  Every coin on coinmarketcap with a rarity of less than 7 million total coins produced are all worth more than $2.00 USD - with the exception of Dreamcoin (because of YOBIT) and FOOTY CASH (which is currently undergoing a price correction: 5000% increase in the past month alone.)

5. The coin was greatly undervalued because of unawareness of the Footy cryptocurrency and Fantasy Sports as well.  As more and more people become aware of its value the price will continue to rise. The price may go higher than $10.00 USD per coin before the end of the year!

6. FootyCash has a great developer, active development, and the best community support!

7. FootyCash has a promising roadmap and is currently developing Masternodes and Anonymous Send like DASH and PIVX for the next release.

8.  The name FootyCash may sound funny but "Footy Cash" is an actual English term (apparently):  

     https://www.power100.com.au/news/local-news/81959-footy-cash-to-go-to-good-friday-appeal
     and
     http://www.heraldsun.com.au/ipad/california-club-brothel-sues-in-footy-cash-feud/news-story/bd77f7d397a34a067342a113b5bfa5d8

9. DraftKings, FanDuel, and other Fantasy Sports companies are getting the legislative green light to operate in most U.S States and other countries as well.  

    When these companies decide to follow the trend of most corporations and switch to blockchain technology - I guarantee you that they will take a hard look at FootyCash first!


FootyCash (FOOT) is the first cryptocurrency designed for Fantasy Sports and there are only 4 million total coins ever; as good as those reasons are, what makes FootyCash a better choice over Bitcoin for DraftKings and Fanduel customer deposits/withdrawals are the following reasons:

FootyCash's roadmap and ongoing development will make FootyCash far better for Fantasy Sports than the other more popular coins such as Bitcoin, etc.

FootyCash will have features that are specifically designed for Fantasy Sports and gambling as a whole.

One example is an Anonymous Send feature.  Bitcoin does not have Masternodes nor an Anonymous Send feature but FootyCash is currently developing these features.

The legality of Fantasy Sports in every country is not clear, most being ambiguous at best. Even though most U.S states are legalizing Fantasy Sports gambling there are some people who would feel more comfortable with a coin designed to protect them in the area where the law may not be clear.

Both Draftkings and Fanduel also would want a coin that can cater to the Fantasy Sports industry as a whole, with features designed for Fantasy Sports - i.e fantasy sidechains, etc...  

Bitcoin can't do that, but FootyCash can.

I want the next big thing to be the altcoins that I am holding in high volume..Doges and Litecoin... Wink. Of course who wouldn't want that. It will be really a blast when dogecoin finally picks up. :)

We really need the stability even it is very difficult to reach because crypto is fluctuating.
AT least, we need a bigger thing on acceptance of the altcoins from many more people and companies in the world. So, the altcoins will be more beneficial and helpful.
And of course, What really need from altcoins is the bigger profit to be always earned.

There are rumors that the federal reserve is going to issue its crypto currency (Fedcoin) and I think that it can quite repeat the capitalization of bitcoin.

Because the current crypto market is only $418 billion dollars and it consists of over a thousand coins. Though more than half of these coins are probably not going to survive in the new future but still the current value is still very small compared to the world economy or fiat money circulating. Even a top 200 coin is probably going to make a huge leap once a big company or country accepts it. So hunt for the next big thing is still there. I am rooting for the top coins though and some low valued coins yet I believe have serious potential.

You need a coin that will completely replace the fiat money and create an economic system. Perhaps it will be Tezos? They will soon release the main network.

IMO Ripple has a big potential, although it is ideologically an opposite to bitcoin thing and bitcoin fans will never accept it.

The next big thing is yet to show itself and cryptocurrencies are not really going far in the aspect of being used as a currency because fiat is still going strong. now all the coins are just competing with one another for dominance but besides bitcoin and ethereum there really isn't another coin that is showing much potential when it comes to dominating the market. We'll see what happens.

What do we really need from an altcoins, what is the next big thing?

We have anoncoin, platforms for trading and smart contracts, tokens.. ;D ;D

I think Bitcoin is already the next big thing.
It has way too much advance on the other coins not to stay at the number one spot.
There will be very useful altcoins but that's all they'll be... useful.

I think that this will stay on the market for a long time, because the society will not be ready to use crypto currency every day as a means of payment.

I didn't notice anyone mentioning stratis right now but could anyone care to look for its state right now its frequesntyl rising and i don't see any point that they will go down for now and this coin got promising future since the volume as of now are pretty much huge and surely stratis will be one of my hodl coin for now.

I think there still be some altcoin which have potential

I believe Aragon will be the next big thing cause its bringing utility to the real world and not just the crypto space.

People will be able to manage virtual companies without wasting funds on physical office space improving the efficiency of startups. :)

Assessing the situation right know i believe no one can really predict the next big one accurately. I mean the life itself is so complex and when it comes to crypto i guess 4x complexity is safe to say.

When bitcoin arose in Satoshi's mind, the impact it caused was so great that it has come to revolutionize the economy of the world because of how innovative it was to be the blockchain technology.

The crypto money world is now very difficult to determine the next step. Continuous depreciation of the market does not give information about the future. I do not know what the next big thing is

Blocknet already solved the interoperability problem. It does now what Wanchain, Icon, Aion and others wants to solve in the coming years.
Connecting different blockchains with each other and using their unique features for building  dapps.
And on top of that they have  Block DX.The by far best looking DEX with Atomic swaps.


No other Project they compete with is beyond whitepaper status and they have a ready product.

It´s a sleeping giant and maybe the next big think.

Our world is strimily developing so I'm sure that at any time will be a new perspective project like bitcoin, eth and so on. Let's wait and keep calm.

Check NagriCoin! It's worth your attention!

The next major event, or virtual currency, is recognized by governments. Or continue to be in a neutral attitude.

BTC Dominance cooled down to 45.0% today. The market share of promising projects or altcoins increasing significantly. From this point of view, investors are looking for altcoins providing real benefits.

The next big thing for me is ethereum. Can’t you see how outstanding that coin is? Always the second under bitcoin. And that is the reason why i started buying etereum aswell other than bitcoin. I am always into a safe place in my decision making. Why would i gamble to buy a cheaper coins when i am not sure if it can give me profits in the end, right? I am looking for a potential coins and the next in line for me is litecoin.

what we really need from altcoin is that we want to make money from altcoin in exchange in the market, but with so many altcoins already released every week or every month, we still have a chance to get a great profit with them, even though bitcoin is something new that people now know, but at least we know that the altcoin present helps us make money in bitcoin at the present time.

These alt coins are hoping to be the next Bitcoin if sometime it will just die then they are there to take its place which in fact Bitcoin is irreplaceable. Alt coins is a good one to earn profits from it thru trading and some good little things more.

we have anoncoin,platforms for trading andsmart contracts,tokens.
what is this anocoin anyways ?? i want to know about big things happens .

Why do I bet to buy a better coin than I am not sure if it can give me an advantage in the end, right? I am looking for adjectives and the next line for me is litecoin. The next big thing for me is ethereum. Can not you see how amazing the coin is? Always the second under bitcoin. And the reason for me to start buying etereum as well as bitcoin. I have always been a safe place in my results

For me its clearly Iota. They have the support from different companies and some advantages like no fees and a good scalability.

Always expect the unexpected here in crypto world many things well happen in the year comes. Just keep patience and focus in what you are doing right now. 

I think that Bitcoin is a unique cryptocurrency and repeat the same idea again, despite all attempts for the second time will not work. You can expect from altcoins really good results, but they will not produce any innovations.

The crypto money market is expected to see a major upturn by the end of this year. Cryptic money, which has been on a very low level for a long time, needs to gain value now. We have lost a lot of money and are bored.

To be honest, I think it highly probable that the next big thing will be something you can't think of.
Tech is increasing so rapidly that a lot of these iterations of blockchain based projects will be rendered redundant within a few years.
Ppl building dapps on eth will be laughed at.
