Bitcoin will do well, but so will altcoins. Once the market gets media attention again, I predict everyone will get in to "get another chance" at making some money.

What's more important these days is decentralization. The past 6 months, we've seen TONS of centralized exchanges doing either shady things, (Enforcing KYC, freezing/banning accounts), and let's not forget the exchange hacks!

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX's) will surely take off in the future, allowing people to trade peer 2 peer with no middleman inbetween.

Blocknet recently caught my attention, looks damn promising: https://blockdx.com/

This is just one of the many altcoins, that will surely go through a nice run.

What are you smoking dude?

Blocknet is the first movers on DEX development, it's by far the most decentralized DEX on the market, (4th gen DEX). More over, their Xrouter is actually the most exciting tech they are building right now, providing decentralized oracles. This is a solid project, down in price obviously because of the bear market.

I'm buying another node soon, before it get's too expensive, as I predict DEX's to become extremely popular means of trading solutions in the future, and I sure want to profit off of that! 

So it basically means the only trading pair is ETH?

I've never been a fan of ERC20 tokens, since the majority of these token projects is pure vaporware money grabs - I do wish you the best of luck with your project though  - Guess you're gonna compete with McAfee's Ethereum DEX as well.

My favorite DEX out there is Blocknet's DX. - https://blockdx.com/

It's no surprise that all these DEX's lacks liquidity, but it's not something that worries me, since we're still in a bear market, with the majority of people holding, and not trading. (Myself included).

Cool thing about this DEX, is that you can buy a node on your own, and collect trading fees in the future, I'm sure you can make a LOT of money if DEX's takes off. 

Blocknet is promising - been running since 2014.

I believe this one could pull a 100x easily long term, since they was the first to make a real DEX, and what most people don't realize is, it's the only real DEX on the market to this date. All the other "DEX's" you see competing, isn't truly decentralized, sadly.

Check it out here: https://blockdx.com/

Blocknet also solves the oracle problem, which means they can connect blockchain data, and real world data together. You can see the results for yourself if you join their Discord server. You can pull a ton of info from their Xrouter, which are hosted by service nodes, making it completely decentralized.

As always, do your own research

This could be a post from 2014, LOL. Alt's are not valuable? Sure... There are TONS of people who made 100x, let alone 1000x on their investments already, so it simply isn't true at all. Alts is still undervalued, and your posts is a clear indication of capitulation, which tells me it's about time to buy in 

Most valuable altcoin is impossible to predict. There are tons of projects out there, but a good one with a LOT of upside potential still is Blocknet.

Not only does this project run the only REAL DEX on the market as of today, they also work on the Oracle problem. (Read up on their Xrouter tech here: https://blocknet.co/introducing-xrouter-developers-can-now-mix-and-match-any-blockchain-via-the-worlds-first-blockchain-router/)

Their DEX is pretty slick, and works great, and at the start of next year, they will release a lite wallet, which can connect with the DEX, without using full nodes, making the proccess of trading way way faster, while still remaining completely decentralized.

Check their DEX out here: blockdx.com/

Of course not. It's really no coincidence that we see THIS many new "DEX's" popping up every week. It's in high demand, and the amount of posts here with "decentralization" in either the topic title, or the thread itself is increasing, from what I can tell.

The only true DEX on the market right now is, Blocknet. There's a lot of fake DEX's out there, who isn't truly decentralized like: Binance, Waves, IDEX, Bisq, and I can name plenty more. 

It's true that a few big players seem to control the market today, but I'm sure that we'll eventually see DEX's looking exactly like CEX's, making it easy and convenient for everyone to trade.

Blocknet is pretty awesome, since you can run your own node, and profit off of the DEX fee's involved, which could provide a substantial income over time, as these DEX's gets used more and more.
I'm sure more projects will come alive, offering similar solutions eventually.

Bitcoin will do well, no question about that, but so will altcoins. 2017 was the biggest BTC run we've ever seen, but altcoins outperformed BTC by a LONG shot. Bitcoin is the better choice in bear markets, as it doesn't pull back as much as altcoins.

Most people anticipates BTC to be the best performer, and will most likely FOMO into altcoins, once they see how well they perform next run. 

Blocknet and ADA is my 2 best holds for now. ADA being a top alt, and Block being my early retirement choice of investment. I hold a couple of BTC just as a hedge, but I'm sure the majority of my gains will come from these 2 altcoins.

Blocknet is running the first and only TRUE DEX on the market right now. You can read more about it here btw: https://blockdx.com/

Their Xrouter services, which will solve the Oracle problem is what excites me the most though, as service nodes will be able to profit from:

Block Rewards
Oracle Rewards
DEX Trading Fees

Considering they are valued at less than $5 mio marketcap, it's pretty much a no brainer as of right now.

ADA is a safer investment, and I believe it will eventually reach $1-$2 next bull run due to it's scaling capacities…

Oh God, why dont you just trade on a decentralized DEX like Blocknet if you care that much? Sure I believe we can all see the problem, but overall no one should TRUST a centralized exchange at all.

Hopefully in a few years, they'll lose the battle against decentralized solutions. Hopefully

Shitcoins with no use case, or products will die a slow death, sure. Truth is that there are a LOT of undervalued projects out there, who is yet to be adopted on large scale. BTC was the first cryptocurrency, but it doesn't do much except being "digital money".
Blocknet as OP mentioned will make it possible for people investing in crypto to trade with each other without trusting a third party, solving the Oracle problem on top of that is ambitious, but doable, so definitely a project I see surviving long term IMHO

True. The higher the marketcap, the "safer" it is, though you wont yield the same ROI.

Dash is at $50 right now, and it's ATH was $1600 or something. (Potential to ATH: 30x)
ETH is at $150 right now, and it's ATH was $1200 (Potential to ATH: 8x)

BLOCK is at $0.60 right now, with a ATH of nearly $60 (Potential to ATH: 100x)

And it's funny because Blocknet didn't even have such a massive marketcap back then, it could easily reach $200+ next bull run, due to it's DEX, and Xrouter solving Oracles. 

IDEX is NOT a DEX.

Good god, it's easy to fool people these days. You think a DEX can enforce KYC on it's users? Really? That's like asking the users of "ThePirateBay" to submit their passport ID before downloading. Come on now…

There's only a few real DEX's out there, and the Waves DEX, just moved to a hybrid solution, meaning it's no longer a real DEX, I'm guessing they want more "control" over their users, which is impossible on a DEX.

Please do some research on this topic to better understand how a DEX works.

IDEX is not a DEX, and never was. NO ONE can own a true DEX. Trading fee's needs to be paid out through fees set by the individuals hosting the DEX. Fee's involved can either be a "standard" fee, or a fee set by the DEX operator itself. It's different on every exchange out there.
IDEX forced KYC on it's users, which is a CLEAR giveaway that their solution isn't decentralized. That's like asking the users of "ThePirateBay" to verify themselves and their identity, LOL.

Nice comparison between the 2 projects. Chainlink has got more partnership, but lacks use cases still.
If Blocknet starts to partner up with big companies, I'm sure it will get noticed as well. Might pick up a big bag of this before it moves up again 

Don't fool yourself. You can EASILY get rid of these Ethereum once DEX's get some decent volume. All these hackers will easily be able to sell all their stolen coins on these DEX's with no one knowing.

Everyone should STOP storing or trading at these dangerous centralized exchanges, and actually start to make use of DEX's. There are some pretty good ones out there, one of them being the Blocknet DEX, which was actually the first DEX to hit the crypto market.

If the majority of people started doing this, there would be nothing to steal theoretically

It looks very nice! I'd get a better domain name though, something that is easier to remember.

I'm sure they've got a marketing plan, but spending thousands of dollars in a bear market is a pretty stupid move.
Chainlink have been SPAMMED all over 4chan since it's inception, which made people believe it's the "next big thing" - Not even knowing about Blocknet.
Popular crypto projects have it easier with "partnerships", since these big corporations uses the hype to market themselves. It's basically FREE promotion, PLUS they get paid for it, get it?

Remember the hype around Vechain and their Pornhub "partnership" ? Sure the project made a 3x due to that, but when the hype settled down, so did the price, which I expect LINK will do as well eventually.

The Chainlink community has become some kind of cult, at least on 4chan. I'm seeing better discussions when visiting their Discord channel though, which is great to see at least. I do think that a LOT of people invested in LINK, expecting "MOON-Like"-gains, and that's the wrong way to invest.
We still need to see actual adoption, use cases, etc. Right now, I'm not seeing much, but that's the case with the majority of projects out there, so hard to blame them honestly.

There are still coins positioned on the top 100 on CMC, which is rather useless compared to lower ranked coins who didn't rank themselves through an ICO.

ICO's in 2017 was just a way for most people to make a quick flip on the pump that was caused after the big launch. Check Dentacoin, $12 mio. marketcap, compared with Blocknet who launched the first working DEX, will be able to oraclize data both on blockchains, and real world applications, actually much much cheaper than Chainlink.

A LOT of good and promising projects goes unnoticed these days, but if you're able to find them, and invest in them near the bottom, you're in for some massive gains, once they release their key products which everyone have been waiting for.

These useless ICO money grabs needs to die off, with only a few of them surviving (like BAT for example).

KYC seems to be enforced anywhere, where serious money is being moved. Thank God you can use DEX's to trade still without KYC, because sooner or later, you wont be able to trade anywhere without sharing all your personal details. It sucks, but just goes to show that crypto isn't what it used to be anymore.

I've been trading on the Blocknet DEX for a while, and I'm sure more and more people will make use of these DEX's in the future. Which got me thinking, perhaps you could make a decentralized payment gateway as well? We'll see I guess!

There are plenty of exchanges based in the EU. Litebit is located in The Netherlands, and has been operating for years already.

I'm not a big fan of centralized exchanges though, and prefers to trade on decentralized exchanges, such as the Blocknet DEX, which is one of many out there.

The title says it all basically. The DEX competition is HUGE, so many projects seems to be competing in this field.
The first DEX on the market was Blocknet, pretty decent DEX, but there are so many out there.

What do you guys think?
