Bitcoin Forum

I am finding that many of the crypto's on the market have no use case what so ever, its very frustrating as an investor to research hundreds of useless cryptos.  They are just simply a tool to gain wealth from investors. 
I did find one crypto with an amazing use case and that is Horizon State - HST - decision token. Its a voting platform on the block chain.  The votes lodged on the block chain are unhackable, extremely cost effecting and voting results are instant.  I just cannot understand why all governments of the world are not voting on the blockchain, it makes logical sense to save taxpayers money and create a secure voting platform.

I'll like to inform you that there are some cryptocurrencies with good use cases, I don't really know much about the HST you mentioned anyway, not disputing your point. Do you know VECHAIN , WABI, NPXS and other coins have really good applications? Well the truth remains that none has gone mainstream, it's a general issue with crypto right now. Example WABI  for anti-counterfeit , VECHAIN in IOT and NPXS  for POS payments.

It will still take time for crypto acceptance and adoption on a global scale but once that happens be sure that all these legit and real crypto companies backed by real products and services will become huge as well but all this will take time and we need to be patient.

They don't know much about blockchain so they don't apply it to voting system.
Another reason can be, they are don't want to break the traditional voting system.
Why? because they benefit from it and think what is that 'benefit' that they get.

There are coins that has gone mainstream and coins that have promised to and some coins that failed to go on mainstream.
Cryptocurrency has not been successful to be used in real word due to different legal hurdles. For example VECHAIN was establishing a retail network in China when China enforced a blanket ban on crypto.

I think there are some cryptocurrencies out there with great use cases. It's quite unfortunate I don't really know much about that I still do believe there are some coins with good use case for security purposes.

Most of the useful projects didn't achieve the mainstream audience because not all people know their existence in the market. They should tap right institutions to begin the exposure of their project. If they will start from a known company in the implementation of their app or product, then, it is easy to market now to other similar companies because they have a successful guinea pig to be referenced at.

I do believe that you are here to promote that HST token/coin. If indeed it has a use case then why is that the price is plunging? Does the team don't have a good marketing strategy for their project. BNB is an example where use case is maximize for me. Look at it now, seems to overtook ETH in the future.

Investors examine hundreds of crypto that are useless or have no benefits ?? According to you what coins have no use to date. I think every project have a purpose, but it is still in the process of time and development. Thanks.

I think every token/coin has its real use-case, it just depends on the investors if they will support the project. If the project has a real future or just amazing in the whitepaper.

Horizon state is good altcoins but there are many better ones ,you aren't looking enough we have even new projects with real use cases  ,do your research very well friend

There were so many good coins in the past but all most they died because they didn't have a good marketing and not be supported by community. Now, there are some coins which don't have many useful functions for users but they do marketing very good and they can make many fomo news around them

I could name a fair few projects with real use cases but one that caught my attention lately is Tokoin, which undoubtedly is doing amazing things for Indonesian businesses. As my families background is Indonesian and i visit there regularly, i see clearly a lot of businesses struggle with finance to start up and maintain steady work flow.
What Tokoin is doing is bringing a data leveraging platform allowing businesses (MSMEs) to advance using a credit scoring protocol,  transaction data is submitted into the  Tokoin dApp and processed into a valuable asset which can be aquired by partners by staking TOKO tokens. From what ive seen, a lot of small businesses are utilizing the platform and i can see it being heavily adopted in the coming future. It just makes sense, very beneficial for any business and displays the true beauty of blockchain tech IMO.

so, this thread created was dedicated for Horizon state right ?
if i'am not wrong this token was born in 2017 and still survive in the bear season last year thats mean this token is good enough,,
but, in my opinion, if we talk about the best crypto with a use case, i think ethereum is the answer my friend
as the best smart contracts platform, ethereum is very usefull and HST is created in ethereum platform right ?

I think every coin has a use value and it is kind of combination of what the capitalist look for money value and what Karl Marx wanted to see (not just money value but use value as well). These coins out there could be adopted by banks and many other institutions who use their blockchain and make their operations cost effective and more profitable. You could use it as store of value or to transfer fund with low cost of transaction.

Check DeepOnion, they are a privacy coin and creating an environment of being used for some of the real case. They have developed all the e-commerce plugin and it's easy to use DeepOnion as a payment method. Moreover, they have introduced DeepVault and it is creating new chances of being used daily and if it happens, I think DeepOnion will have a lot of potential users.

I don’t know about you, but I really like Litecoin.  It is a very popular and progressive coin.  Which will definitely succeed in this world.  I believe in him and it seems to me that not in vain.

Horizon stake looks more like a dead coin to me. Though they have some buzz in Australia and New Zealand, they seem to have done nothing in the last two years rather than posting on twitter. Watching their profile, they have admitted to have made some profit from the project in the last year but the profit not reflected in the price of the token at all.
They have left the token for pure speculation rather than working to provide a value for their token.

I believe that there are already enough coins on the market. As for voting on the blockchain, this can be implemented without using a coin at the state level. Although the idea is good and will find its application.

Crypto value depend on supply and demand but if we compare between gold's S&D , they are more stable.
So if your preferred crypto really "unique" you can let the time to prove it.

If is really works, it will show up on top 5 on coincapmarket !

There are many crypto which can be used for your use and for the investment. All these you can find on the Coinmarketcap site where all the coin and cryptos are listed as their market cap. For investment you can choose top50 and for use you can choose Cardano and Tron.

For now, I think the presence of cryptocurrency will be as for the investment only. But bitcoin will be the best crypto for a use case because we can make money from bitcoin and we know that bitcoin price has the highest price depends on the other coins. The other coins, like ethereum, litecoin, zec, dash, monero, and the other expensive coins, could be a use case too if they were accepted for the payment transaction. Maybe we need approval from the government so the cryptocurrency can give more benefits to the people.

I would have to add Bitbond STO to your shortlist.  It has a proven use case of  lending already successfully to businesses. It is a Gernan-based  security token and makes business lending possible through crypto financed bonds.  Token holders gain interest each month holding their BB1 token.  The annual interest rate, Bitbond promises, is 4 per cent paid out in Stellar Lumens (XLM). In addition, there is a variable distribution of 60 percent of the net profit of the company... And the company will buy back and bond  token after 10 years. Its  crypto bond i backed by real world assets and stringently reviewed as a STO by the financial  authority Bafin, Germany's securities regulator.  If you are an investor that doesnt like volatility then BB1 tokens re a great vehicle for secure crypto dividend.

I believe the replies under this thread will be quite subjective because there are numerous cryptocurrencies with each having a specific use case and based on a traders needs and wants may choose one a favorite. For now, I may vouch for Miracle Tele as the best coin with impressive use case. Miracle tele allows its holders to stack their holdings in order to receive bi-weekly rewards which normally comes at reasonable rates although they vary.

Many projects have not been able to produce products that can be used daily. I think every project needs time to develop its products and also cryptocurrency is an investment in technology and also for long term. Partnertship determines direction of the project in accordance with the roadmap and whitepaper

Kozjin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5117095.new#new) token is a good project, product already launched. real use case for real estate.

I think your research are very wrong if you have to spam the whole forum with this HST which I can't find any useful case for it . there are many projects in the market with strong use cases

STO projects are very good, absolutely no doubt about that, they are still the best security token so far, but I have not really seen any use for them, that is the truth, I know they are gradually gathering investors, but if BITBOND being the most popular STO for now is this slow in reaching their hardcap, I wonder what other STO’s will look like, and I guarantee you that the reason why they are not meeting up on time with target is because their interest rate makes absolutely no meaning to me.

Why would I keep so much money in such project for a whole year with just 4 percent interest, imagine what my gain would have been at the end of that year if I commit such money into personal business, and if I am the type that is not good at business, my bank has so much programs that can give me more than the 4 percent if I leave it with them for a year.

Too many good altcoins are waiting patiently for the next altcoin season so I'm less worried about present market movement ,instead I will keep fishing out very good altcoins with working product for future ,coins like pundix ,holo, vechain etc are very good

If they are good and they don't need the altcoin season to increase but if they don't good enough and then they are only hoping to the altcoin season that will come in the future.
Those coins are not having product and they didn't even know what is the definition of utility.

I doubt that best use case for a coin ever be voting coin, I mean how could you even think that a coin that literally gives birth to other coins is not the best use case out there.

Ethereum literally does ICO for many coins and so far there has been so much ethereum that has exchanged has for funding new coins that it has passed over 2 billion dollars in total for funding plus it has created probably over 100 coins right now. That coin is not as big and useable as a coin that allows you to.. what? Vote? Come ooon. I know shilling your own favorite coin is something we do here but at least shill it for what it is, tell everyone how you like voting is very important and can make a big difference in transperancy of elections as well thanks to blockchain, but don't make it sound like its better than ethereum.

if someone has bad coins in his portfolio, then during the season of altcoins they should be sold and then people have to forget about them forever

I guess this is a project for national elections?. Some cryptocurrency can do this already by the way. So what is the guarantee that this will be a a succes? Yours has to be unique and better

The best altcoins with a real use case for me this year so far is miracle tele platform, they actually know what they are doing ,not all projects are like it ,still waiting to get the sim card

Look at Stakenet, for the love of god, haha!

Stakenet is probably the project which has moved the furthest with lightning transactions, which quite frankly is pretty damn cool considering they actually helped the Litecoin team integrating lightning on mainnet.
Source: https://litecoin-foundation.org/lightning-network-collaboration-with-x-9-developers/

Stakenet is also the third project worldwide to implement lightning on mainnet. - AND YET. It's sitting with a marketcap BELOW $10 million. Let that sink in guys....

ANYWAY, Use case?

Well, I can name several:

1) They are building their OWN Hardware wallet despite being supported by: Ledger, Trezor, and Xeeda.

2) They are building a TRUE lightning DEX run on masternodes, which insures extremely fast trades, at the speed of any centralized exchanges actually. The masternodes will hold the blockchains, which means the average user doesn't need to download them on their own to interact and use the exchange.

3) They are building the worlds first lightning multi currency wallet (In Beta testing right now), which makes lightning transactions available to everyone with a push of a button. This way, you can move funds around quickly, and once USDT moves to lightning imagine how fast you can tether up inside your OWN WALLET if BTC pumps like crazy.

4) Masternode as a service + Monitoring Service. On Stakenet.io you can setup masternodes on XSN literally in like 5 minutes, since Stakenet will take care of your VPS. Your coins stays in your wallet, so it's 100% trustless.

5) Stakenet invented cold staking (TPOS). I've been cold staking a lot before I moved to masternodes, and it works pretty well. No downtime.

6) Cross Chain Proof Of Stake. (CCPOS) This one is in the works, but imagine being able to stake your XSN, and recieve your staking rewards in BTC, LTC, USDT or whatever coin you want?




This was just a few examples of use cases for this project. Still accumulating while it's cheap, but it's hard since I believe 70% of the circulating supply is locked up in masternodes and cold staking wallets.

Do your own research guys :)

If anyone wants to read more, they just updated their whitepaper, which can be found here: https://stakenet.io/Stakenet_Whitepaper.pdf

 I am running multiple XSN nodes and testing out their Lightning DEX. 

That's good of the project will check it later on to know more.
However, there are other projects or cryptocurrencies with great use and a typical example is Ethereum. At least we all know what Ethereum has succeeded in introducing in this space; a blockchain for upcoming projects to launch on, smart contracts etc.
In fact there are many cryptocurrencies that with time have the power to transform and add value to both this space and the world.

Real use cases depend on the number of partnerships with other companies. If a partnert company has a wide network and touches the community directly, crypto is adopted in real life quickly. I don't think there are many coins that have partnerships with big companies with strong networks

I think some people find the volatility of bitcoin and the risk of investing watching a token value drop to near zero (many altcoins even with good use cases havent gone anywhere) too risky.  If you are busy and want an "invest and forget it" investment where you get passive income then many will find STOs like Bitbond very attractive.  The STOs give a dividend and 4% is better than most traditional bank or stock market dividends.  Bitbond is giving an annual dividend based on the loan performance so overall the passive income will be higher thn 4% per year.  I like the fact that Bitbond's token is pegged to the Euro and any tokens will be bought back atthe end of 10 years.  A passive dividend paid quarterly with my initial investment returned. That is the kind of stable investment that appeals to me.

I agree and this is a really good point a out the importance of use case. That is why i suggested Bitbond. They already have a proven real world company with assets.
Bitbond has alredy 13 million of € disbursed in small loans in over 80 countries. The tokenized bond they are offereibg during their STO will raise additional venture capital to continue their growth and expansiin of the business. Bitbond has a provrn use case. That is very rare in the world of coin/token offerings.

LOYALCOIN has a very useful thing to have.

They have  a wallet app where you can store you LOYALCOIN or LCREDITS.
You can get loyalty point for buying to local merchants and use it as a payment too.

For more information kindly follow them on facebook and youtube.
They also have website loyalcoin.io

There are not many such coins, but there are a lot of projects which are at the stage of concluding partnership agreements. important to read twitter of new projects to know all the news.

While for LED Industry, for majority of us doesn't have a real-life use case when it comes to blockchain, we are changing the perceptions with the BuyAnyLight platform. With its origin from Almani Lighting LLC, a UAE based lighting company being in the market since 2015, we have created a ready to use platform where buyers and manufacturers are connected by our AI-Powered matching engine in a seamless, trustless way. This way, we ensure that buyers get direct access to quality LED Lighting products in a price less than upto 90% when they are buying it from a manufacturer directly.

People always say privacy coins have more potential use cases as they are to prevent scammers from invading and they are kinda strong pillar in Cryptocurrency but I still tell myself that all these has to do with what someone has to offer and its effect on the market. Like of MSME platforms etc.

many altcoins have been launched that have certain quality and products that are the mainstay of each project ... but here only depends on us all in assessing the quality of a project ... HST is coin good and quality and that is only some people who know it because you involved in it ... so do other coins that have no involvement in it .

It maybe a project with a use case driving the liquidity of its native token which is HST in this case but it does not suit the description of "The best Crypto with a use Case". Lol, it's 24-hour trading volume is less than $50 bucks! Also, i think they had some issues with the management team as there seems to be a press release on their website stating so. Well let's see how this new management team turns things around. Hopefully, they can make this project work out finally as one of the best.

Did you know that there are still some applications and other coins that have very good applications? Well, the truth remains that nothing is mainstream, that's a common problem with crypto now. and not fake what you mean is not good.

There are lots of cryptos with use cases, while I agree that there are more with no intricate uses. I'm just hearing about the HST decision token for the first time, I will take my time and look into it.

I don't know about HST token you mentioned. Truth remains that while there are Crypto coins with zero use cases, we still have a couple of coins with good and potential use cases. For instance let me use Atomic Wallet Coin as a case study. One of its unique use case is 'Crypto-Fiat payments" or vice versa. While there are a lot of users out there having issues with utilizing the exchanges to the best of their knowledge, Atomic wallet provides users the ability to be able to buy crypt I currencies directly using their MasterCard. I have tried this severally and I must confess it won my heart.

Another Crypto currency with real use case is Komodo Alias KMD. Kmd is a privacy coin which provides users with privacy and anonymity in transactions relying on zero knowledge proof (zkp). If you search well, there are still ample of coins with real use case. All you need is just research.

I think that it is best that you just don’t continue wasting your time in investigating a project that the op is surely shilling which I am even sure that the op must have been banned by now by the moderator because I have not been seeing his post. I knew when the op started with this issue of HST token and how he has used different format to want to deceive people into investing in it which I really don't know the motive behind it.

It is either the op is the owner of the project, a team member or he is just trying to lure people into investing in it so that he will not be the only looser of those that invested in it. This project has no real use case and it should not be paid attention to. There are other projects with real use case that lies in the market for people to invest in other than this.

Even use case is not a guarantee of success. In my opinion the real use case is when a blockchain product gets adopted by a big company and is integrated in their solution. Till now, I haven't seem a lot of such projects, so why  should Horizon have future?

I owned many loyalty coins such are Bitrewards, Retainly or your mentioned Loyalcoin. I think that the problem with these loyalty coins / points is the fact that the platform is not used by people. For example if Amazon creates own loyalty coin, I believe that it will become soon successful and used around the world.

I've been hearing a lot about altcoins being used in countries like Venezuela as an alternative to their shoddy local currency which I *think* is the bolivar, or it could be the peso.  I think they changed the name recently.  There was a lot of talk about Dash being adopted by Venezuelan citizens, and from the videos I watched it did seem like it was a real thing and not just hype.

That does make me wonder what will happen if and when their currency stabilizes and if they'll abandon dash and whatever altcoins they're using and/or bitcoin.  It should be interesting to see what happens.  But that's a real world use case of an altcoin.

Dogecoin is used for tipping on reddit, or was used.  I'm not sure what the status is there, since I don't frequent that site.  There are also some online retailers that accept doge. 

Those two coins, dash and doge, are the ones I think of when I think of coins with real usage.  Litecoin might also make that list, but I don't really follow it.

I don't know anything about HST, but I suppose the token with the best use case in practice is BAT. BAT is a token used to receive various types of advertisements and services based on the Brave browser, a means of exchange between publishers, users, advertisers. It solves one of the Internet's most important issues - digital advertising is growing.

Agree, there are still many crypto that have not been used. Among the many cryptos on the market, bitcoin is a crypto that is often used for transactions at merchants and peer to peer so I think bitcoin is the most useful crypto because it can be accepted anywhere

Voting system is already happening through blockchain, there is a project from brazil in 2018 that focus on making this go mainstream, the project name is Anti bureaucracy coin (ABC), its a very active project too

The OP started a lot of threads, all about HST. This just makes me want to stay away from that coin.

There are plenty with really great use cases. Smart contracts are one of the best uses of crypto, so ETH and competitors have great potential for mainstream use, particularly as 5G/IoT develops.
Fast payments is another one, probably XRP leading the way here.
Privacy coins I'm not sure about. As governments take greater notice of crypto, privacy stuff is likely what they'll attack first.
