Shift is such an underrated project ! The Web 3.0 which shift is building is the future and people will realize it sooner or later. With a total coin supply of only around 11,568,773 SHIFT and a market cap of $106.497.610 USD shift has the potential to reach 100$ this year ! if you take a look at some of the top 20 coins, most of them don't even have a working project out and will portably only be able to release one in 2-3 years. Shits is far ahead of their competitors when it comes to having a project which is almost ready to go. Keep in mind that shift hasn't had an ICO ( they rather worked hard to deliver a great project which they can deliver instead of creating an illusion like a lot of icos about th projects they will deliver) and to this date never did any marketing, so this growth we have been seeing over the last months was only because people believe and understand the great project the shift team is building! The team will be starting a great marketing campaign over the next six months. The team always delivers on their promises and released their new website today and their dApp Phantom will be disrupting a whole industry. Shift is a great project with huge potential this year but that is just my opinion but check for yourself

Better realize this projects potential now or miss out



Phantom
Shift’s first official dApp, called Phantom, is a user interface for file management over the IPFS network on Shift’s cluster. Data can be pinned — based on a smart revenue model — to be permanently stored on the cluster. Phantom also contains a wizard that enables decentralized web hosting and supports the management of real top level domains.

Sidechains
Phantom will soon have its own chain, as a sidechain tied to Shift’s main chain. The Phantom sidechain will have its own rules and transaction types, allowing endless possibilities. The prototype, which is a pre-beta, is already functional at Shift’s testnet. This very website is already powered by our storage nodes.

Smart revenue model
The cluster consists of a swarm of storage nodes (peers). Every token holder is able to join the cluster, and can provide disk space (storage capacity) to the Shift cluster. In 2018, Shift will present a smart revenue model which will make it economically beneficial to join the cluster.

Shift tokens can also be used for making a request to use a certain part of the available disk space that is provided by the cluster. Data can be published and pinned on the cluster. This means it will be stored permanently on the cluster — as long as the content publisher holds tokens as Proof-of-Storage.

Complimentary file transfers
It is also possible to send files (free of charge) outside the cluster, to all peers that are connected to the cluster but which are not part of it. However, these peers running an IPFS daemon will likely have a garbage collector that removes stored files occasionally, creating a cache.

Been holding shift since $1, would love to see $100! Good post, I agree it is still undervalued

I really have high hopes for SHIFT. i love their possible future.  ;D this past few days have been fun!

also, when does the phantom dApp come out?

I completely agree to the OP. Shift is very undervalued at the moment because they are under the radar due to lack of marketing. Now that phantom is released and marketing is getting started, it should easily be able to do 10x and more in 2018. Remember Shift has a working product and they have the first mover advantage. A lot of other projects like Substratum are valued much more because of marketing and the ICO.

Yes ! This project has come so far ! It will definitely will be a top 20 coin even top 10 is possible this year !!

just wait for them to release their white paper at the end of january.

I beleive in SHIFT i predict a price 100 $ FOR 2018 and 1000 $ FOR 2019 2020

SHIFT is an interesting project, a truly decentralized Internet, but there was also a new ICO Blockstack which has a similar goal

Difference is that all these projects (maidsafe ,substratum or the one you named won‘t have a working project out within the next 2-3 years ! They rather focused on marketing while shift was putting all their energy in building their dApp and everything else ! They have been very successful in that so they will be focusing on marketing soon

Shift is an amazing project, been following for a while now, i would love to see it go x10 soon.

at this quartal they have planned to release a own webbrowser that will be amazing
cant wait to see more and more websites that are hosted by phantom
decentralized exchanges on decentralized websites on a decentralized browser. the future is coming

shift capitalization is soo low, even 100$ is not a difficult price to reach, if the team does a good promo we will see it in the next weeks, so many shitcoin have been pumped in this period and the good ones are still lowm it's incredible  :-X

word!

we will see at the end of the month they want to start a 6 month marketing plan then
yes all the features are great that will be developed in this and the next quartal
dns explorer, filehosting and a webbrowser just a great project and its sad to see coins with icos with 100 promises and zero tech

i'm holding a bag since june, bought more during the last deep at 13k, i'm expecting a lot from this project, right now it seems nthat finally something is moving on !

last month was great from 2 dollars to 12 but there is still alot potential because the website wasnt released at this time. with the new roadmap and the marketing plan thing will definetely move on will be great when more and more delegates use phantom

I am ignoring shift for weeks,  thanks for the wonderful insight.  Will consider buying this once I got my crypto funds.

if you are patient this is a really good investment maybe some improvements will be added too but with all the goals the project has set for this year there are allready many targets

jenga
hydra cms
decentralized webbrowser
phantom improovements
whitpaper
marketing plan

does anyone think shift price might go down?  wanted to get some of it when it was in the 1 dollar range but did not.  Now the price is so high where i think it would be hard for it to go up a lot.  But if it does go up, you can't 100x it like when it was 1 dollar.

Shift is a good project, it will make x10 soon. Especially in this bull market, that is inevitable in the long term. But if the project has long term potential, you shouldn't sell it for a hype, that may seem like a good gain but it is actually loss

The current price is not high ! Like I mentioned above shift has a low total coin supply and marketcap ! This project can and will be 50-100$ at some point this year! This project has accomplished more than some of the top 20 coins that are just hype with no working project! Just wait till people see the real value here

in relation to the project substratum the price is still low too. im wondering why sub has a much bigger marketcap while they didnt delivered not that much in tech while shift has already published phantom on testnet

SUB had a ICO and they have the funds to do marketing.They got news articles, youtube videos and a few more things.But, yes they still don't have anything to show to the public!

While Shift is focusing more on delivering the product, but also they promised to start marketing this month so we will see. :)

Shift deserves this year atleast a 1 Billion marketcap! :D

yes as you said we will see how this coin develops when the marketing plan is starting in this 6 month many things can happen.
its only listed at two exchanges and its a bit bad that bittrex doesnt accept any new members. i really hope that more exchanges will add shift.

Shift has only $100 M market cap and lots of trash coins are being pumped since December 2017. There is no reason blocking SHIFT to reach $1 B market cap because it has real usage in the platform. I love it.

SHIFT will surpass the $100 mark easily in 2018. Read up on SHIFT and you'll see why and wonder why it's still so low at the same time... don't miss out

You are absolutely right, but the tech is not the problem, Shift is light-years ahead of some other shitcoins, but lacks on marketing and exposure on bigger exchange sites. I believe something similar happens with XSPEC, it seems to be the better privacy coin, but the marketing is very poor. But both are doing the right thing, if they start a serious marketing campaign with a developed and working product, they could 10x in less than a year easily.

yes the lack of marketing is a problem with this project. really hope that the 6 month marketing plan at the end of this month will exchanges make to add this token to their list.

Shift is like BTC in 2011.

in the next few days a blog is getting released from the devs lets see what happens  ;D

did you realize SHIFT jumped from 2$ to 8$ in no time.. but still 100M only of marketcap??¿?¿? this will be really HUGE

yes many people are speculating for a 1 billion marketcap. the newsletter will come soon.

came.

Newsletter - December

IMO the key factor that will push Shift to $1b+ market cap is that they should be one of the first, if not the first, platforms to implement Sidechains. This is huge because it solves for dApp platforms the scaling problem, like DAG solves the scaling problem for currency/store of value tokens. If Shift delivers on sidechains before Lisk, as they plan in their roadmap, then Shift could become the Raiblocks of dApp platforms.

The other key factor is that Shift is an entire dApp platform with unlimited use cases (more dApps can be easily developed with Javascript) but it already comes with a pre-bundled decentralized hosting dApp to help drive adoption of the ecosystem. The website homepage (shiftnrg.org which already as others pointed out is hosted through their web hosting dApp Phantom) explains this "killer dApp" concept. It is absolutely mind-boggling that Shift isn't already $500m+ because the current upside is so huge (i.e. that of a file and web hosting dApp plus that of a next-gen dApp platform in one) and it will easily go past $1b IMO this year, could even happen in Q1. My prediction is $2b by the end of 2018. It should tell you a lot that the original System Architect of Lisk joined Shift in late December. I think this project is going to be huge.

As others have already stated, the difference in market capitalization between SHIFT and SUB lies in marketing. Time and time again, I see less-developed projects outperform those who are technically more advanced. Sadly. Let's hope that the new marketing plan will change that very quickly.

Shift roadmap for 2018

https://www.shiftnrg.org/#/roadmap

 ::)

So I bought this thing a few days ago, along with Oyster, SpectreCoin, Xtrabytes.

Of those 4 coins (SHIFT, Oyster Pearls, SpectreCoin, Xtrabytes), the only one which has failed to yield any gains so far was SHIFT.

Yet I thought the project was so good, and much better than Substratum? It doesn't make sense why the price is so low.


Someone (or a group of people who pool funds) should pay John McAfee or someone to talk about this coin. it NEEDS to get marketed ASAP.

We don't care if the exposure is all hype - once they find out what it is, the price should rise quickly.

Why is the team not marketing this stuff? HURRY UP before Bitcoin kills the alts.

the big bang will happen when it gets added to more exchanges its only on bittrex but has still a 100m marketcap.
with that low supply it has a very high potential to rise 5x-10x

OK. I will consider paying for an ad on a facebook page that is visited by many crypto fans personally.

An *extremely* high quality coin with poor marketing needs an *extreme* marketing strategy.

Electroneum (ICO I participated in) did that with regards to marketing, and they got very successful. Even though they are good, they are rank 40, and Sub is rank 70, while this gem is sub-200. It's nonsense.

Please spread the word!

Yeah and also Bittrex doesn't accept new signups so it's hard for new users to buy Shift right now... we definitely need another exchange and marketing before the price can really fly.

I have a feeling some new exchange might be coming soon. Had the same feeling for my other holdings like Lunyr (which was stuck in $5-15 range), and then suddenly Binance added it.

No new users? That's so shit. What's the point of having this exchange then? How stupid is that?

Can we PLEASE at least have Cryptopia accept SHIFT? Who knows how to make that happen? I will be looking into it personally if I have to.

People will go to Cryptopia for good coins, and it is an underrated and over-bashed exchange.

Just see Oyster Pearls as a perfect example of the fact that Cryptopia can be used very well for exchange volumes. And ETN too.

the other option would be livecoin. lets just hope that they add a few exchanges before january but patience is a option too  8)

I was just going to say that. I didn't want to miss the train of this coin, which is one of the best projects out there. I registered on Livecoin just for buying SHIFT, and it's an exchange site like every other, same format, and the deposit went through without issues. Haven't withdraw yet, though.
If Shift gets listed on Cryptopia or Kucoin (my favorite exchange sites), I'll be happy.

This coin will be on other exchanges but it will take time ! At least this coin experiences some natural growth and I have now doubt in my mind that shift will be the next Monero in terms of price once people start to realize that decentralized web is the future and shift is so far ahead of their competitors !

I can't believe that Substratum (a decent startup, no doubt, but has NO WORKING PRODUCT AT ALL) is rank 70 due a lot to marketing and being listed on Binance, while Shift which ACTUALLY HAS IMPLEMENTED DECENTRALIZATION OF THE WEB (PROOF IS ITS WEBSITE!) is still floundering at sub-100 ranks.

It's unbelievably stupid.

Just do mass-marketing already, and PLEASE get this thing listed onto Cryptopia, since its so easy to get listed there if you're half legit.

Cryptopia will attract some new volume, and will boost the reputation of this coin SINCE BITTREX IS NOT ACCEPTING NEW USERS.

Just wait ! This is the year where a lot of coins will crash in price because of the simple fact that they can‘t deliver and because there are much greater projects out there with a product that will change a whole industry! Just like shift will ! Big investors won‘t overlook shift anymore once they release their whitepaper at the end of the month!

Shift is not doing badly at the moment. If you ask me, i will say it is a good project. Anything can happen with Shift. Holders expect to laugh this year.

More and more people are starting to realize how great shift is ! This coin will see monero heights this year ! 100$ within the next months! But this is not about the price, Shift is giving us our freedom on the internet back and mich more!

I've seen a lot of smart people over my years here write over and over again and now I think it's my turn to reiterate their words which are that the markets will always remain irrrational for far longer than you, or anyone, can stay solvent.

Shift is one of my favorite projects.  ::)

Well, margin trading is stupid, but markets are not irrational in long-term. In long-term they are very predictable - the coins that eventually deliver will rise to the top. In the short term they are very irrational though.

I am just frustrated that the SHIFT team did not mass-market their coin yet, and have it only on Bittrex mainly, which does not accept new users.

They are doing it now, according to their plan.

Patience, my friend. This coin will boom anytime soon, when real marketing and exposure starts. The product speaks for itself, could be game changing and possible top10. And I bought some on Livecoin without issues  :)

I am just excited for the next couple of months ! There are so much good things ahead !  Release of white paper at the end of the month, which will attract new investors and then the marketing campaign and some other releases

Shift is going to explode by the end of the month. With the release of the Phantom prototype on January 5th and the Marketing Plan and Whitepaper releasing at the end of the month I would be surprised if big things don't happen soon.

It's about time...

Sadly, SHIFT seems to have fallen into the hands of day traders and bots. I always say that you want to get listed on as many exchanges as possible, EXCEPT for Bittrex, since it is so easy for people to install bots there to keep the price down for their daytarding.

Nothing is better than exploding the price and watching those daytarders sell low and panic-buy at the top.


We need extensive marketing for SHIFT. We need to be advertisements, radio shows, mainstream news articles too.

We already have a working product, and we are behind Substratum, which is all hype, and no substance yet. The only way that's possible is because we aren't marketing heavily enough.

Times have changed, and hype is the new way to go. Quality of product MUST be first, I have to say, but we need to focus on marketing right now.

Shift, another alternative blockchain that includes peer-to-peer storage, an uncensorable internet, and seamless monetization removing the need for third parties like Facebook or Youtube for content creators. [/b]

Yo! Great find man! Someone in the mainstream talking about the benefits of SHIFT is crazy to me, considering how little marketing has been done by their team. It really goes to highlight just how strong the tech behind shift really is. The idea of decentralizing the internet is just too important to fall by the wayside. January 31st can't come soon enough!

Forbes mentioning Shift in an article is big time ! Most of us already knew that this coin is going to be big in 2018 but know we have official proof !

thx for the link.
so a working product plus the article in forbes may catches some attention. it's still a good buy ant top 100 should be possiple in Q1. 6$ per coin by 11.6 mil coins... for me it's a low-risk-coin.

Also, Shift made it into the Weiss Criptocurrency rating list! :)

This is a great achievement as only 70 coins were selected for the rating list and Shift is currently on coinmarketcap position of 228, so it's a really hidden gem to be selected on that list!

http://ngoaihoi24h.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/ket-qua-bang-xep-hang-tin-nhiem-weiss-IG-1.1-696x835.png

what are those letters? A B C what they mean?

how good an investment they are, A - best, C - not as good, but still good

this proves one thing, if SHIFT has been selected among these 70 currencies it is simply one of the best! more than 600 crypto exist and among all, only one portion will survive and SHIFT is part of it !! concerning his note, I think once the markeeting will start and shift will start to take off then it will be rated B, the current maximum score!

What is Potcoin, Dogecoin and a few others even doing on that list?
This must be a joke.

No mate, please be realistic, the price is not going to make more than x10 from the actual price
And yes, once that the website and all the other stuff gets developed, a lot of people will be more interested on joining and jumping to the train.

Anyway, i am still very confident about Shift, and with a little marketing, it can easily touch $20 without any issues.

I believe that Shift has the potential to make top-50, because it is the best decentralize-the-web coin out there (the fact that it has a working product makes it better than SUB, which is rank 90 right now - eventually fundamentals will catch up).

The x10 won't happen right away, but in 2018 I think it will.
