Most promising projects in 2018

[rayk]

I will not study the ICO project. I think the most promising project this year is Ethereum. I think it will rise very high this year and it is very valuable.

It is rather the most promising project of 2017 or 2016, the most promising project of 2018 is 0x, bat and oax. Others are just one level up from scams.

In addition to being able to create a new ecosystem, purpose of launching ICO is to bring the ADC closer to the community and they can experience the technology that the ADC brings. The idea seems cool. this project would certainly become popular quickly.

"What all of these behemoths have in common is their insatiable hunger and capacity for the personal data of consumers. Every time a sale is made, a customer’s data is collected, aggregated and used toward facilitating more sales. The problem with this kind of endless appetite, is an inherent lack of transparency and privacy that come with a centralized organization actively mining data from its users. The oligopoly of e-commerce — Amazon, eBay and Alibaba — are calling all the shots with consumers’ data.
This problem has become increasingly dangerous, as issues of fraud, identity theft, and other privacy issues have finally come to the attention of lawmakers in the European Union, resulting in the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR as it’s known. This regulation came into effect across the EU on May 25, 2018 and sets principles for data management and the rights of the individual, while imposing fines that can be revenue-based. The General Data Protection Regulation covers all companies that deal with data of EU citizens, so it’s critical for corporate compliance officers. And it’s giving them all a major headache as they scramble to avoid the fines associated with non-compliance. Such are the problems of a centralized system. These are the issues of middlemen.Spl.yt takes the power from the big data gobbling giants of e-commerce and gives it back to buyers and sellers, who can freely engage in a true peer-to-peer experience, securely and simply via blockchain technology and smart contracts. Through this decentralized, more efficient system, the middleman is eliminated. Time and money are saved by automating key intermediary functions via smart contracts. Spl.yt token economics incentivizes its users to transact fairly for a more secure e-commerce experience. Data is not mined by any central authority. Private data is protected, not harvested and used.
The Giants of e-commerce will not be taken down by a bigger giant, but by a global community of individuals all freely connecting with each other through a decentralized e-commerce ecosystem By decentralizing e-commerce, these giants will simply no longer be needed. Smart contracts will automatically facilitate payment to service providers along the e-commerce retail chain (affiliate marketers, dropshippers, etc.). And e-commerce giants will go the way of the dinosaur. "
Spl.yt is the first smart contract-powered e-commerce protocol designed to automate points of friction in the e-commerce industry -- barriers that have allowed large centralized oligopolistic entities (like Amazon, Walmart, Alibaba, ebay, Walmart, and CJ Affiliate) to capture the legacy market. Spl.yt’s Alpha demo is available to test loading inventory onto its decentralized inventory system and to use its software tokens. A few other blockchain-based projects are developing platforms to address various issues plaguing today’s e-commerce regime, thereby validating the need for solutions, though their centralized business models and failure to contemplate decentralized governance over their products indicates they will never reach the same levels of success truly decentralized projects Bitcoin or Ethereum have. Without evidence of progress and a truly decentralized mission, we do not believe these new projects represent real competition, so Spl.yt’s real competitors are those listed above that reap a lion’s share of the rewards without adding value for buyers, sellers, and other marketplaces.

How do these giant firms even get to dominate the market in the first place? Historically speaking, high entry costs and legal privilege (for instance licenses which are granted to a limited number of recipients in a given jurisdiction) played a part. Today’s fastest growing platforms that gain power and leverage over the market as they gain value commensurate with more users. Social media platforms like Facebook and e-commerce platforms like Amazon that incorporate social media features such as reviews and comments, are examples of members of this new kind of oligopoly.
Terry Gross, the host of NPR’s “Fresh Air” radio interview show noted, during her talk with New York Times tech columnist Farhad Manjoo:
“…the ‘frightful five’ — Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft and Facebook — are collectively more powerful than many governments.
Add to this list of giants, Alibaba, the world’s most popular destination for online shopping. Its online sales totaled $248 billion in 2013, more than eBay and Amazon.com combined. And its novel “Singles Day” sales event (begun as a tongue-in-cheek protest against Valentine’s Day, by college students in the 1990s) broke all records for sales in a single day in 2017. This kind of power in e-commerce is impossible to ignore.This problem has become increasingly dangerous, as issues of fraud, identity theft, and other privacy issues have finally come to the attention of lawmakers in the European Union, resulting in the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR as it’s known.

I think I'm a bitcoin and Ethereum because these two coins have blockchain technology so from now on many people are investing in both these coins let alone both are the same as decreasing but bitcoin will soon be back

[TXCEO]

From this year's point of view, EOS.ADA.NEO.BTM is a very promising project, but their actual performance is very disappointing, especially EOS, a lot of loopholes and problems make investors very disappointed with it!

To get higher profit, you can have a look in investing in good ICOs.

There are many interesting projects to check out and others not, so it's important to choose wisely.

Looking at the project as a whole and looking at the team behind it, is very important to make a correct decision.

If I can give you guys my opinion, I discovered an exciting ICO that is very interesting: RAWG.

Check out this great article by Sergey Ulankin, RAWG's Editor-in-Chief, where he explains what has been done so far and what will be the future updates:

https://medium.com/rawg/wp-bits-5-vision-and-current-state-69127bfbeb2a

The ICO will start in a short period and they are at the moment in pre-ICO phase. This is the ICO site: https://token.rawg.io/. It's a video game discovery platform that converts your skills into goods and services (the site is already working, with more than 57,000 games in the database) and, which is very interesting, they have already reached the soft cap.

Have a look and get some information while doing your own research!

Another interesting point: RAWG has already secured $5m USD, halfway to hard cap of $10m!

Take a look at  EOT (EON) ICO that stands for Entertainment Open Network Protocol. It is a protocol for decentralized games and has big benefits for gaming community. Has a great team and huge socila media following so going to do well.

[swissgang]

There are lots of promising projects but the project needs skilled leaders, team members, community, fund, network to be successful  so many of them will unfortunately fail.

[styca]

Hedera Hashgraph has a lot of promise, but also a lot of hype. I suppose the best value project is one that really flies under the radar - that holy grail of a great project that no-one knows about.

[Bohdan98]

I would like to tell you a little about the fact that you should take the time to familiarize yourself with the Tradelize project. I assure you, you really will be satisfied with the idea of the project. Just take a little time.

Bitcoin originally was supposed to offer an efficient means of transferring money over the internet and is controlled by a decentralized network with a transparent set of rules, thus presenting an alternative to central bank controlled fiat money. Market participants changed from geeks and believers in Blockchain to funds and investors looking to make profit with the uptrend volatile market. This led people to ignore the primary function of Bitcoin which was to efficiently transfer money over the internet with no control from central banks.
This is affecting the whole markets including the new ICOs and tokens. New ICOs and tokens are simply being invested in to sell once listed and gain whatever discount rate the ICO is offering. Most of the time these tokens are tied to the price volatility and movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum. INGOT Coin has been studying the market carefully in order to develop in ways that separated from Bitcoin and Ethereum as well as their price volatility
INGOT Coin intends to foster building an interconnected global community of trust and cooperation on which the basis of honesty and transparency between its members exist. INGOT is well on its way in making a breakthrough in Crypto & financial markets by presenting a revolutionary gateway towards an all-inclusive environment. The vision and aim of INGOT is to provide the community with real Utility value whether Bitcoin was at a new low or high. To achieve that aim INGOT has partnered with multiple ICOs in order to provide numerous Utilities with an access from one platform. INGOT also does not base their coin on Ethereum or Bitcoin but rather on USD value.
The ICOs are all in different industries from Health to Financial services and E-commerce to Real Estate. INGOT Coin, GMEX-Group, BolttCoin, Modern Finance Chain (MFChain), SwachhCoin, Black.Insure, PlaceToRent (PTRT), Bineuro and Stella have all formed a unified front under one alliance. The group of ICOs along with GMEX plan to establish a single platform that will allow all their communities to use their utilities simultaneously. Furthermore, plans of enabling different discounts among each one of the ICOs is being discussed in order to give edge to all participants.
Providing all those different Utilities through one gateway will provide true value to the tokens and the end users. In giving real utility to different tokens and access from one point it is clear that the latter will be the value of the tokens and not the price and volatility of Bitcoin and Ethereum.

I think that the Highcoin currency is a very promising currency for 2018 which attracts a lot for its high yield in POSHighcoin is a very rewarding proof of stake (POS) coin with variable APR from 500% to 12000%.
This coin attracts a lot for high yield POS. Anything you earn in a year can be reinvested in other projects. You can easily make x10 or x15.
Soon we will approach the block 170001 and start the stake percentage equal to 3000% per year (8.21 daily). if you want to understand how much earning with HighCoin (HIGHT) download the calculator in excel format at the following link on discord:

Best Project 2017-2019 is OPUS

i think the team could rais a big start at end of this period ,
They are working hard on their project !
just look at their finished project

I have made too many researches to find new high potential projects in crypto world. I have found a new project which is Spl.yt Core Foundation, a Science Blockchain-backed nonprofit operating out of Santa Monica CA, is an open-sourced smart contract-based e-commerce protocol that will support the foundation of a more efficient, transparent, and secure e-commerce system. Spl.yt will help buyers and sellers save time and money by removing middlemen functions and services through decentralizing the e-commerce stack. Spl.yt’s top smart contract capabilities include an automated global inventory system, fractional asset ownership and management, inter- marketplace reputation tracking, fair dispute resolution system, and automated affiliate marketing rewards. All of these features are powered by the blockchain, assuring anyone who buys or sells things online that they will have the most fair and efficient e-commerce experience possible.

They are developing a public social utility protocol to form the foundation for a decentralized e- commerce system. The Spl.yt protocol will help buyers and sellers save time and money by removing middlemen functions to empower e-commerce participants to achieve their economic goals. The design and intent of this protocol is such that, ultimately, it will become a self- sustaining system that is operated and governed by the community with little involvement from the Spl.yt Core Foundation.

To be honest ones of the most promising projects for me in 2018 is Acorn Collective, Elon City and Yumerium.

With all the fervor around the price of bitcoin and news of crypto exchange hacks, the core advantage of blockchain technology isn’t discussed enough. The reason for an explosion in development of blockchain-powered systems across diverse industries, including finance, advertising, healthcare, e-commerce, and more, boils down to one fundamental desire: eliminate dependence on middlemen.The issue with centralized middlemen goes far and beyond financial systems. The digital advertising industry is bloated with intermediaries, creating too many opportunities for fraud and unforced errors. The healthcare systems is beset with inefficiencies due to dependence on middlemen to transfer data and communicate information between doctors, patients, and insurers. E-commerce is dominated by a handful of tech giants with access to such copious amounts of data that endows they control the entire ecosystem.
Blockchain is an ideal technology for building decentralized systems to counter the middlemen-operated ones that are not serving people the way they could. In advertising, Brave’s Basic Attention Token (BAT) enables the direct exchange of information and value between publishers, advertisers, and web users, thereby reducing reliance on intermediaries to facilitate transactions. In healthcare, Doc.AI empowers people to collect and control their own data as opposed to relying on broken healthcare systems to do so. The project I am working on, Spl.yt, harnesses blockchain technology to support the development of decentralized applications that will empower sellers and consumers to control more of their business. The protocol also supports various players in the e-commerce ecosystem make more informed choices without depending on middlemen for necessary services such as payments, affiliate marketing, reviews, and dispute resolution. We hope this will make it cheaper and easier for everyone to shop online without the need for large e-commerce intermediaries who dominate the industry at the expense of small businesses and customer data – and pocket books.
If reliance on middlemen can be reduced or even eliminated across major industries, we will have a more empowered and community-run society that makes decisions based upon what is best for the whole instead of what is best for a tiny fraction of the population. The emergence of blockchain technology enables us to rethink top-down power structures and replace them with decentralized ones that are more fair, transparent, and egalitarian. If we harness technology to the betterment of society, perhaps we can feel a little optimistic about our future.

I think DACC is one of the promising projects. Strong team, famous partners, quick ICO. And now project wait exchange and development. I think we can see much more than x3-x5. Try to research
