SHIFT I know what your thinking, how can this be the greatest coin after BTC and ETH if you have never heard about it before? You propably never heard it about because unlike most projects nowadays shift never did an ICO or any marketing until now, but this will change soon with a 6 month marketing plan ready to go. Let me explain though why this is the greatest project out there, shift has done what many competitors won't even come close to within the next 2-3 years. it has introduced the decentralized Web which without any doubt is the future !
They have created the backbone of a robust dApp ecosystem, with a strong and democratic dPOS platform of decentralization that can be used by anyone who knows JavaScript. The Phantom dApp with Shift will create a new decentralized web, empowering everyday users and keeping their content safe. Shift is providing the first low cost, easy-to-use decentralized hosting infrastructure, which saves users money over traditional file storage methods and protects their content from external censorship, which will act as a massive stimulus for the mainstream adoption of Shift.
Why is this such a big opportunity ?One of the biggest threats to the web today is the web itself.
Businesses can unilaterally shut down (e.g.: Gothamist, DNAinfo), taking independent writers’ data with them. Shift and Phantom allow this kind of disaster to be avoided: user content is stored in a decentralized fashion, ensuring that authors can always retain access.
In the near future, the web will evolve beyond the existing systems and infrastructure.
In order to do so, there must be replacement protocols and services made available for everyone to join the new web revolution. This is the mission of Shift and Phantom: to augment and replace classical hosting and DNS providers.
For any decentralized system to work, users need to participate and must stand to gain a benefit.
Enter Shift: it provides a utility token that users can use within the ecosystem to secure storage on the Phantom dApp or trade with others for services. Shift's delegated Proof-of-Stake consensus algorithm also allows for benefits to be earned by users who participate in the voting process which rewards others for contributing reliable nodes to the network.
Net Neutrality is one of the top threats today when it comes to accessing the internet.
Providers can slow down connectivity, or charge additional fees to access certain services. With Phantom, it’s possible to circumvent the effects of such behavior, as the data is never centralized. Getting a website served from a group of peers is nearly impossible to stop, in contrast to the ease of metering access to certain services which have known internet footprints.
The website
https://www.shiftnrg.org/#/ is fully hosted, replicated, and monitored through Shift’s IPFS cluster. If you're on the the website now, you're already experiencing it now: it is served with the performance of heavy servers, but in fact is running on our Phantom dApp.
While other icos are still marketing air, this Team was busy working the last couple of years and 2018 will be the year for Shift to raise above and will change the way we use the internet. Shift is the future just inform yourself or miss out and make the same mistake as some people who did not think that the internet will be huge !
