Best cryptocurrency to invest in 2018

[oscarwhale189]

Innovators and entrepreneurs are constantly introducing new cryptocurrencies, each promising new and varying characteristics to attract investors and users. Global official sector reaction to cryptocurrencies varies as the decentralized technology does not fit easily into existing regulatory definitions and structures. This sector will likely continue to be cautious as it monitors the risks to financial integrity, consumer protection, financial stability, tax evasion and treatment, and monetary policy. Leaders in regulation, like Japan, are likely to set the standard for the rest of the world in a scenario where the borderless nature of cryptocurrencies requires a cohesive and collaborative effort.

The cryptocurrency world is an unstable and volatile place, constantly shift between bear market and bull market periods. Some investors are taking advantages of this and others not so much. Reaching a stable value cryptocurrency has long been the target of many projects that aim to take crypto a step beyond just a middle of exchange and into the land of a store of value. If I put $10.000 into Bitcoin, Ethereum or Ripple today, nobody can be guaranteed what it will be worth tomorrow which puts off businesses and everyday users that want to use crypto beyond just a speculative investment as a method to accept payments or pay salaries. Mass adoption is the ultimate aim for cryptocurrencies, but a stable cryptocurrency is needed in order to achieve that. Cryptocurrencies are reacting more like stocks and less like currency with their incredible volatility. They give more incitements to trade with them, not to pay with them. The concept of making a stable cryptocurrency is complicated. Many have tried to create such a coin and failed. In time the crypto markets will get well founded, leading to a more stable nature of the top cryptocurrencies. The crypto markets are becoming increasingly more competitive, because they are some of the easiest to trade on.

The justification for the big fluctuation of cryptocurrency prices is the supply and demand. The supply is more or less fixed but the demand is always changing due to people’s behavior and speculation. A normal currency can have a broad use, it can store value and be a unit of exchange. You can’t have a currency that isn’t backed by value. Fiat currencies are collateralized by assets and gold. If they weren’t, they would depreciate fast. Though most banks are printing money at some rate, the US dollar is the only currency that can be printed without limit from the US central bank. But the problem with printing infinite amounts of money is that they will depreciate, without being backed by value. The US dollar is experiencing something like this. Compared to the stable Euro, the US dollar is losing value at an alarming rate. A solution for this problem is currently being talked about and is planned for the future. But a solution for the stability of cryptocurrencies is something else.

With all of the talk of cryptocurrencies in today’s news, there are necessarily always going to be questions raised about “why does this have any value?” Even at face value, it’s definitely not the case when talking about cryptocurrencies as a movement generally, but even on top of that, there are certain cryptocurrencies that carry a lot more weight to them — and that’s where the INGOT Coin system comes into play.

Though there is plenty of fair skepticism of any new asset class in the expanding world of FinTech and cryptocurrencies, there are also certain coins that stick out a lot more than others. While plenty of coins and tokens rely mainly on public perception of value or speculation about the potential for value in the future, the INGOT family of coins is the first to come to the market to offer real, tangible value for the cryptocurrency. INGOT Coin will create a complete solution by integrating 6 core ecosystem components and providing a one-stop-shop for the digital asset, traditional asset and currency markets to solve all the above-mentioned challenges, thus, creating a link between the crypto market and the traditional market. The IC Ecosystem will establish 6 different components to work hand in hand under one umbrella, providing all community members the chance to capitalize on upcoming opportunities in all markets. The Ecosystem’s components, as shown below, are the IC Wallet, IC Exchange, IC Brokerage, IC Digital Bank, IC Certifier and IC ICO Accelerator.

INGOT Coin will provide a platform that meets the needs of beginner as well as advanced traders to trade with minimal initial capital. IC will also provide its own cryptocurrency, which will be available on different exchanges for all investors and market participants to purchase. IC will show no bias towards any market participant and will provide fair and equal opportunities to all participants regardless of size of trade, type of order or initial capital.

To ensure no means for market manipulation and leakage of unethical or illegal money in the Ecosystem, the KYC and AML policies must suffice and exceed the needs of all parties, whether its regulators, banks, brokers or exchanges. The KYC and AML compliance may seem strict to some investors; however, this is a necessary procedure to ensure the safety of the Ecosystem and all stakeholders. This is done to make the Ecosystem trustworthy, secure, transparent and compliant; consequently, filling the Ecosystem’s singular KYC allows participants to open one account in the IC Digital Bank, the IC Exchange, the IC Brokerage, and the IC wallet simultaneously to trade crypto, fiat, and traditional instruments hereon after.

Global supply chains in the oil and gas industry comprise a complex web of suppliers, shippers, and contractors. The complexity and scale of this network requires substantial administration and creates opportunities for errors. From the tax authorities’ and customers’ perspectives, there also is a concern that suppliers might manipulate invoice values, potentially avoiding taxes or inflating costs, as goods are sold and shipped around the world. Utilizing blockchain technology to record and manage the movement of goods and related invoices will significantly mitigate the risk of errors and the opportunity to alter invoice values or recipients. Goods will be tracked from source to customer, reducing time and costs, and providing insight into the supply chain process that could be used to create efficiencies. Invoices will be recorded in the blockchain, creating an immutable record of its contents. The movement of invoices also can be addressed in the blockchain using public and private keys, preventing unapproved parties from accessing the invoices. This again could help to reduce the administrative burden on companies to report transactions to authorities and reduce the time taken by tax authority audits because of the reliability and transparency of data in the blockchain. The issue of security in data transfer is important to both individuals and companies. Public and private keys allow data to be encrypted and sent to another party, so that only that party can access the encrypted data. In the case of an invoice, party A would encrypt the invoice using party B’s public key. Party B can then decrypt the invoice using its own private key. Anyone in the network 5 could see that party A has sent data to party B, but is unable to decrypt the contents. Additionally, party A can sign the invoice with its private key before sending, and any subsequent alteration of the invoice would invalidate the signature and the fraud would be apparent.
Imagine an oil company owning land that has proven reserves of 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE). The oil barrels even though not yet produced could be tokenized by having ownership held by a company that has a standing offer to the public to redeem tokens for either a single barrel of oil or, if the redeemed tokens are less than a certain threshold, a fraction of the assessed value of the barrel of oil. Physical delivery of the oil barrels could be made at a certain location or shipped to a specified address. In this way, buyers could obtain an easy-to-transfer token and third-party markets could transact in fractions of the oil barrel price. This could potentially be a source of financing for the oil company and a way for the broader public to participate in the oil market. The Opportunity According to the Central Intelligence Agency’s website, there are 1.665 trillion barrels of oil recoverable globally. On the other hand, a report by BP suggested that we have 53 years of proven oil supply left. Just 53 years! This brings about an opportunity to work towards democratizing our world’s proven reserves. Meanwhile, monitoring and potentially preserving our world’s oil supply via blockchain technology under a crypto-economic model that also monetizes proven undeveloped oil supply. On the investment side, the Permian Token opportunity allows for direct equity crowdfunding participation by token contributors under a trust-protocol that allows them to benefit from oil supply that is proven to be available but not yet produced.
Permian launch the ICO for the purpose of bringing the Permian closer to the community, from which we can experience the technology that the Permian brings.You can register our stage 1 token sale on  https://www.permian.io/dashboard/register !! When you participate in the ICO, you will get many benefits from the project such as Affiliate commission.

Basically crypto is not a better position now that's why many peoples are afraid to invest in crypto. But I think there is still some good coins those are really good for the future. According to me BTC, ETH, EOS, ETC, Waves will good investment for 2018 if we can buy them and hold for next few months then I think we will get a good profit. So let's invest.

For all these dapps’ relative outcome, it must be said: daily user-bases of a few hundred or a few thousand are ridiculously small compared to those of the biggest centralized apps — Facebook has well over a billion daily active users.

The Ethereum Network is on-going into congestion issues once again. The cryptokitties Dapp locked up the system a few months back, but now even Binance has increased fees in the wake of the new traffic jam. Solutions tests are in the works, but they have no specific timeline and are arguably not proven to be possible. With Ethereum running at full capacity, Dapps may be forced to look for solutions to their problems before Ethereum’s issues shut them down completely.

The dramatic increase in GAS fees is attributed to the viral popularity of a slew of games emerging from online forums. While not as prejudicial to Ethereum transaction throughput as CryptoKitties, these new dApps have amassed over 26,000 transactions in 24 hours, causing GAS costs to double in price to $0.02.The spike in Ethereum dApp game interest has demonstrated the fragile nature of the Ethereum blockchain, illustrating the impact of a relatively small increase in transaction throughput on the capacity of the network. Ether Shrimp Farm, one of the most popular games causing network congestion, places players in control of a virtual shrimp farm with the goal of optimizing shrimp production, ultimately trading eggs for ETH.

New solution of Quantum-Secure Blockchain

TIM is GPS united with blockchain. And this changes everything. It exponentially upgrades the performance of permission-less agents by a new consensus mechanism based on geomining. The dapps become hyperlocal and geo-location aware. This boosts security and experience. The MVP network, at BitPost, provides 100k+tps capabilities for token transactions, smart contracts, IOT array operations scalable to 100M tps. TIM network is automatically and dynamically managed by swarms and geo-mining for load distribution, fraud detection and network operations.

A multi-zone blockchain running on specialized proof of belongingness based swarm defense app mechanism. Along with standard dapps, TIM blockchain provides hyperlocal geo-fenced dapps for economical and performant system of utility dapps. The defense mechanism works by a swarm of community apps which are run through communities or organizations with special smart contract with TALKING Foundation for providing a useful service along with proof of location for geo-mining

The blockchain can handle all natural dapps like transaction, insurance, speculation, contracts etc. In addition to the above dapps, TIM can also host geo-fenced dapps which boosts the security and privacy.

TIM will have 1.1 billion tokens and normal production rate of 0.01 tokens per second per DAG. The production rate will be regulated by foundation to match human population. The notion of matching human population is for promoting a philosophy of growth. The tokens will be rewarded in new blocks every 5 seconds. The token will be assigned over all the main network for winning nodes of each of the zones. Therefore, the rewarded tokens would be mostly fractional. This is called micro-distribution. These reserved for various kinds of econometric agenda. The major share of pre-mined tokens is reserved for impact investments. TIM foundation has deep interest in propagating DAPPS for impact work for Africa development through various entrepreneurship initiatives. Apart from development expenses, a stability fund from TIMs are reserved by TIM Foundation for helping crypto-currency growth initiatives or helping starved projects. Stability funds can also be used for merging desirable networks to increase development resources or defences for the TIM.

ICX, ADA & SONM!

These altcoins seem to me very promising ones but I would like to mention some more tokens. Probably, not so many people know about them. These are KuCoin, Gladius, Napoleon X, EIDOO, Credits, and Crypterium.

[Bernardo lewanusa]

the best crypto currency is always bitcoin,
but 2018 is not the year for crypto currencies in my opinion,
still hodl

[ufalo3]

for now the best coin is ethereum to invest this year. when prices are now experiencing a lot of decline, we must make a decision to invest now. take advantage of the situation as it is now

Although many investors gave up to deal with Ethereum, I still think that it is the best token on the market. If you buy several ETH altcoins now, in 2019 you will get the hight returns.

The projects of these altcoins conducted their ico more recently, so that the current price for them is not very high. But this is the moment to buy them. Take a closer look at them.

When the price of crude oil is low, the high cost of upstream oil exploration and development coupled with downstream efficiency challenges forces most companies to reduce costs, almost to the point of sacrificing their future. We believe that a step change is needed in how chemicals and petroleum companies conduct business transactions. Blockchain is more than just a disruptive technology. It represents an opportunity for chemicals and petroleum companies to increase their profitability in today’s economic environment and well into the future. Permian has a deep understanding of the regulatory issues for chemicals and petroleum companies and what is required to move this next generation digital transformation forward. In the future, as blockchain-enabled business transactions become more sophisticated, business and industry networks could evolve into self-governing cognitive business networks and reduce the cost of payment transactions by an estimated 30 percent.2 Much more than a technology to automate business transactions, blockchains create a new model for trust by establishing transactional relationships between businesses via smart contracts, certifications and digital compliance. Permian is committed to developing blockchain solutions that are open, scalable and contain security features that are critically important to building business networks, such as the ability to register participants with proof of identity. Permian demonstrates this commitment by being a leading contributor to the Hyperledger Project - the Linux Foundation’s open source project that is developing the permissioned blockchain fabric that meets these needs and more. With the Permian Token we developed a solution to solve the working capital requirements of oil exploration & production companies and oil exploration and production economies, meanwhile democratizing the direct investment sector for the average investor.

The result, allowing seamless and transparent reporting of our world’s energy reserves and oil transactions under an immutable trust protocol (the blockchain). The PermianChain also solved theoretical and technological issues of oil exploration & production by allowing public and private sector to sell proven reserves yet to be produced via blockchain technology under a closed-loop-B2B-Exchange (the “PermianChain”). The PERMIAN Token Offering will launch 10 billion XPR tokens. It is our intention that at least 8.0 billion XPR will be sold during the Initial Token Offering (ITO) stages at $0.10 per token. Where we anticipate that 87.5% of the funds raised will go into oil campaigns and acreage with proven reserves. Whereas over 6% will be used to invest in continuous technology including blockchain and artificial intelligence for oil & gas exploration and production. Therefore, the total value of circulating XPR will eventually equal to the total value of Proven Reserves that are listed on the PermianChain.The XPR token offering will issue up to 8,000,000,000 ERC-20 tokens for investor contributions. Meanwhile, we will keep 1,000,000,000 tokens for treasury reserves to fund the community’s energy initiatives, mainly for geologists and oil & gas experts who have solid data and studies to work on.

The XPR tokens will be backed by Proven Reserves that are identified by the oil campaigns that the XPR will invest in from the funds raised during the Initial Token Offering (referred to as “Oil Campaigns”) and by the oil exploration and production companies that list their own Oil Campaigns and Proven Reserves on the PermianChain platform (referred to as “Platform Prospects”). PermianChain tokenizes Proven Reserves to support Permian Token (XPR) related assets and operations. XPR enables digital transfer of underlying assets value in the form of digitized value of oil under standard conditions. Thus, allowing the utilization of XPR's substantial physical and Proven Reserves as a means to facilitate commercial and consumer transactions around the world. As a reserve digital currency, we expect XPR will become a critical instrument for preservation of wealth and an ever expanding range of commercial and consumer activities using blockchain technology for digitized store of value.

It seems to me that all the coins led to large losses for investors. This is due to the overall negative situation in the cryptocurrency market and the lack of cash investments in this area.

[Napole0n]

If market conditions are difficult to recover like now then buying cryptocurrencies that already have large marketcaps like bitcoin, ethereum, EOS and top 10 are better than speculating buying coins that marketcap is still small.

Blockchain is already being used for gold trading, with companies and mints offering customers digital gold tokens to be used in place of the gold, which remains safely in their vaults. While gold trading is straightforward as compared to oil and gas, this initial step may be a catalyst for other industries, and the basic structure will be ready to duplicate and customize. As with many technological advancements, it takes time for people to become accustomed to the technology and adopt it, and the use of blockchain for cross-border payments is increasing rapidly as it becomes a more accepted transaction method. Blockchain taxation legislation has yet to be drawn up by governments and is needed to determine, for example, when and where transactions will be deemed to have taken place for direct and indirect taxation purposes. If companies are required to include identification data in the blockchain, this could be easily addressed because their ownership structures, including beneficial ownership, would become more transparent. For example, the blockchain could evidence what is being supplied and to whom (e.g., a business customer or a consumer), which would determine in which location the transaction is subject to indirect taxes. Indirect taxation, in general, could benefit greatly from the clarity that blockchain provides, but the taxation implications will be situation-specific and legislation will need to address this. Clear guidance will be needed to determine whether a cryptocurrency would be used in the same way as money (e.g., bitcoin) and, therefore, likely would fall outside the scope of a VAT system; or whether any restrictions relating to the redemption of the cryptocurrency would deem it to be a barter transaction or similar to a loyalty points system, both of which incur different indirect taxation treatment in most VAT systems. The reality is an array of problems, ranging from equipment repairs to dry holes, can arise and should be addressed with investors. However, many investors have found companies go silent 8 when there are problems – particularly when they have downplayed the risks when soliciting investors. Too many companies fail to bridge this gap by providing their investors access to important updates pertaining to oil & gas projects. As a result, investors have less confidence in the performance – or even the legitimacy – of oil and gas investments. Cryptocurrency allows us to directly invest in oil and gas projects. Through the use of smart contracts, we can now replace paper and complex legal agreements that are cumbersome, difficult to transfer and can be hard to track for the average person and even for sophisticated investors. Our solution for commodity investing (mainly in oil) would be to switch to a digital system along the lines of Bitcoin but linked to an asset. This solution is the PERMIAN Token (XPR). Imagine a vault of oil barrels. The oil barrels are owned by "Oil-owner Inc." and the vault is owned by "Vault Inc." Vault Inc. has a spectacular reputation and third-party auditors who verify the amount of oil barrels in its vault. Oil-owner Inc. could offer a digital token to the public that represents ownership of the oil barrels and through a smart contract with Vault Inc. maintain a public off-chain registry that relates fractional interest in the gold with the tokens. For every token sold, Oil-owner Inc. transfers ownership to Vault Inc., who holds it on behalf of the token owner. Vault Inc. guarantees redemption of the value price of oil barrels by anyone who can prove ownership through a digital signature. Oil-owner Inc. can take advantage of the fact that Vault Inc. is trusted (and audited). Owners of the tokens rely on Vault Inc.'s representations and not on Oil-owner Inc. (even though Oil-owner Inc. is the token issuer). One of the main advantages would be that buyers of the tokens could know that they are the only person who has received the token, whereas a buyer of a paper certificate has no way of knowing that the same certificate hasn't been sold to multiple people.

I agree, too, I focus on strengthening the cue ball to 12 by the summer and quite admit the repetition of popularity by the fall and access to last year's levels and just at least 15.

This is true, although on the other hand the past three years after the consensus growth was, and now at least that.But nothing eternal does not happen, neither rising nor falling. We will wait)
