We all have our own ways to judge or to choose an ICO we want to invest in but here are just some of my key points on choosing a good/great ICO project.

What is Stellar Lumens (XLM)?

The Stellar network is a pragmatic blockchain project which aims to work as a bridge between the exactly opposite worlds of decentralized cryptocurrency and traditional, centralized financial institutions. Stellar is known for its unique consensus method — the Stellar Consensus Protocol, which is totally unique in the blockchain ecosystem in a traditional sense.

Stellar is a blockchain platform which is primarily focused on integrating distributed ledger technology (DLT) into existing financial infrastructure. Stellar presents as the future of banking and intend to address the gaps that exist between the disparate closed system, composed of the current international financial markets.

Market prediction for Stellar-Lumens price

As the market is very volatile, it is not easy to predict any cryptocurrency per se, that too, when it is the 6th largest cryptocurrency in the world. Looking at all the predictions given by the market enthusiasts/ publications/ traders, one thing is certain that there is a lot of hope surrounding Stellar price prediction.

#1 Long Forecast

Long Forecast gave an entirely conservative prediction, where they forecasted that by the end of 2019, XLM might reach $0.30, which make sit look like it won't grow much as compared to the current price. Maybe, the end of 2019 prediction is missing if this can be considered the prediction for the 1st half of 2019.

#2 Wallet Investor

Wallet Investor updates prices and predictions every three minutes using the latest technical analysis. They have very conservatively made a 5-Year forecast of $1.005.

#3 Mega Crypto Price

The price forecast at Mega Crypto Price has been very optimistic for all the cryptocurrencies and its the same for XLM, too, predicting that Stellar could be worth $5.10 by the end of 2019. The team says that this can be achieved as long as there are no major security flaws and the overall sector performs well.

#4 Monetize Info

Monetize believes that Stellar’s major partnerships will be the major reason behind an upcoming price surge, which might result in XLM’s price reaching $2-$3 by 2019. Beyond IBM, Stellar’s partners include Stripe, Deloitte, etc.

For example, Stripe gave Stellar a 3-million-dollar capital injection a few years back which Stellar immediately returned in XLM.

#5 The Economy Forecast Agency

This website features a long-range forecasting model to make market forecasts for corporate clients. The website has its own price prediction for 2020, which says XLM will see a high of $0.64 in 2020, which is by far the most conservative and pessimistic of XLM’s price predictions.

Stellar is also getting ahead of its competitor by announcing a partnership with TransferTo, which will boost international money transfer, efficiently. 2019 will experience the continuity in the success of Stellar, where it might be hovering around $0.505 in February and March, after which it might pick up to reach around $0.611 in the second quarter. Because of its partnerships with the famous tech giants- IBM and Deloitte, it will be a market player in 2019. By the end of 2019, the XLM price may reach $0.664. You can convert XLM to BTC from CoinSwitch at the best rate.

Let me know what you all think about this coin...

In my opinion Both offer very good privacy, but are completely different. Monero is more practical (specifically addressing known issues), Zcash more theoretical and opt-in.

But personally i will go for monero because
The best part about Monero is that it is fungible and you have complete control over your currency and transactions.

From an investment perspective, even if you personally do not require privacy and anonymity in your transactions, it is undeniable that a significant chunk of the world’s market desire it. This makes investing in Monero a fairly obvious decision.

I’ve got a large collection of cryptos, but Monero has always been my fav. I can’t call it the most stable one, yet, I’ve never had any big disappointments with this currency.

The best part about Monero is that it is fungible and you have complete control over your currency and transactions. Monero has no pre-set size limit like Bitcoin has, that means malicious miners can clog up the system with disproportionately huge blocks.

#6 - Should you Invest in Monero?

From an investment perspective, even if you personally do not require privacy and anonymity in your transactions, it is undeniable that a significant chunk of the world’s market desire it. This makes investing in Monero a fairly obvious decision.

Anyone tell How to Identify Good Airdrops ?? In these days crypto altocoins airdrops are very trending.

A few months back, BCH Hard fork took place and since Bitcoin Cash ABC won the hash run, BCH ABC and BCH are merged together and are a single entity. Very recently, blockchain.com introduced a new tool for crypto enthusiasts to get a better understanding of the intricacies of their cryptocurrency. They launched a Bitcoin Cash explorer that helps people search for transaction hashes, addresses and blocks on the BCH blockchain.

~snip~ there are news that they've started dumping Bitcoin at the height of it's bubble so it look like this is a old news already.

That's why we are lacking on the expansion and adoption side. There are too many cyptos, too many similar projects, too many main-nets and basically too many of everything. I think the that the current state of crypto wouldn't be here if we had only Bitcoin to rule them all, everyone working on it's network to improve it and create platforms from there (idk if that is theoretically possible).

Centralized is for the people who love high security
