A good choice. In fact, there are still many altcoins on the market that can be considered for purchase, for example, Ethos and Wanchain. I would also buy them

[auliahr]

I think ETC and ADA need to be considered, because I heard that both will be listed in coinbase. if true, then this will be good for the holders. by the way, I agree with GNT and ONT, also never doubt it.

I have already Wanchain in my regular portfolio. I will look into Ethos, not heard of it before.

I think ETC and ADA need to be considered, because I heard that both will be listed in coinbase. if true, then this will be good for the holders. by the way, I agree with GNT and ONT, also never doubt it.

Already hodling ETC and just scooped up ADA 3 days ago.

[The Seller]

I agree with you that ADA is a coin that has tremendous progress. and for the above list I honestly only know GNT and I also like it.

[vlad230]

Before investing, take a look at IOST, XVG, ETC. They are undervalued at this time and I think they will bounce back soon.

[lx001]

Tell me what is not undervalued right now? Absolutely everything is, unless it's a shit coin. There is no point in all these top 5 lists for August, because all these coins are going to be cheaper in September and so on. Right now you are trying to catch a knife which is falling for 7 months already. 

[tabas]

They are undervalued at this time and I think they will bounce back soon.

Not only those coins are the undervalued, most of the altcoins now are very undervalued so if you have to choose, not with XVG.

Everything can happen, it's all unpredictable. I think that bitcoin ETF approval on September will be hype.

wow, good luck with your decision but i think the coin in top 10 CMC will be better
In addition to top 10 it could be NEO, Moreno or TRON

[kabit9]

98% of the legitimate projects are hugely undervalued now.

Increased my bags of these gems today: XEM, QTUM, NEO.

Yes, no one knows the bottom, but I have seen the previous top of some of these, and wow, its like flying into JFK and being told that every single thing in NYC is 90% off (including the cab ride).  Wish I had brought more cash!  

[ami84]

I plan to pick up more GVT and Elastos - I seriously cannot believe these prices!

Your list, I just like Quarkchain [QKC]. If the market rebounds in August then this is the penny in your list that will be pumped the most. And I'm also holding a little QKC

[Leah38]

Thanks for the info. I'll look at these coins and will think it over if I'll buy a few. I'm still monitoring the market and I can sense many are already in doubt and hesitant of investing and buying more. As for me I still hold some altcoins. And a few ETH.

Seem like you were wrong with Poly, its price is ~0.2$. I agree with you about this coin. The nearest peak was 1$, and Poly've just listed on Binance, Its price should have increased, but BTC price down and and affect the whole market.

[geminiboy]

you forget pundix, i believe pundix has high potential for the future, watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PfjGN705Xo
You will get a big profit if you invest now

[swissgang]

Top5 of me:
1- ADA
2- ETC
3- OAX
4- ZCASH
5- NEO

By the way oax is the most undervalued now.

[pehatas]

You absolutely chose the coins for investment, but why did not you have very great prospects for them in your investment portfolio Ethereum and IOTA?

[Klara_karlovna]

Golem [GNT]  - $0.186
Atonomi [ATMI] -  $0.015
Quarkchain [QKC] - $0.0384
Ontology [ONT] - $1.77

good choice. These projects have all the chances to reach ATH in the market turn. Attracts me more Pundix, Endor and XYO. These are projects with good potential

Yes I added an extra 0 by mistake.  Fixed now.

I do not like either project, but I do have small bags of both.  This thread is mainly to track the above 5 coins.

thank you Klara.  I have also been hearing very good things about Pundix. I have to look into it carefully.

Will be very interesting to watch this thread.  These are some great picks and should pan out over the next 12-18 months.  Solid choices. Heard only good things about all these projects, though GNT been rather quiet lately.

Interactive TV company iPowow is looking to fund a plan to create a cryptocurrency that would pay people for watching their favorite shows. The currency would also compensate viewers for sharing data — quickly proving to be a precious commodity — about who they are, what they watch and what they buy. And if all of this wasn’t buzzworthy enough, the iPowow folks are planning to use blockchain as the technological foundation for their new business. What iPowow calls HIT tokens and the HIT protocol can benefit the TV business by offering three solutions to problems such as viewers watching on noncommercial platforms, inconsistent cross-platform audience measurement and a lack of data about TV advertising, iPowow CEO Gavin Douglas said. Benefits for Viewers, Advertisers With the HIT protocol, viewers get paid to watch shows, content creators and networks engage viewers and generate more revenue from digital viewing, and advertisers get transparency and audience insights. It would work this way: A viewer tunes in a show and sees a graphic that says they’re getting five HIT tokens. The viewer either clicks his or her remote or goes to a second screen to activate an account and accept the tokens. The viewer must have granted GDPR consent to share data. Later, the viewer can go to a digital shopping plaza to buy things with the HIT tokens. A number of large retailers have expressed interest in letting viewers use HIT tokens to buy real merchandise, Douglas said. Jill Rosengard Hill, executive VP at market research firm Magid, said there was potential to the idea of a reward program for TV. “There is a segment of consumers who are open to the exchange of their data for a fee,” she said. A recent Magid study found 33% of mobile users said they would give up access to their data in exchange for a discount. “Marketers are looking at loyalty programs or the exchange of coins, gifts or money to drive loyalty and to drive tunein,” she said.There have been previous efforts to create reward systems for watching TV. GetGlue, which rewarded viewers with stickers, was acquired in 2012 by Viggle, a mobile app that offered points that could be exchanged for gift cards or access to premium content. For the past seven years, iPowow has been in what it dubbed the “participation TV” business, creating interactive features that can be sponsored for 200 shows on networks such as ABC, Fox and USA, local stations and digital video platforms such as Facebook Live and Twitch. For Twitch, iPowow created an extension that lets viewers pay gamers they’re watching live and have input into how games will be played. Douglas said iPowow has demonstrated that its system works whether on the first screen or second screen, and on all platforms — linear broadcast, VOD, over-the-top and online. He hopes to raise the millions iPowow will need in August. Blockchain Migration for HIT iPowow plans to build its new HIT protocol on a blockchain foundation and migrate its current technology to blockchain as well by year end. Blockchain enables the cryptocurrency HIT tokens, which cost less to distribute initially than real dollars and also provide transparency, immutability and consistency while decentralizing account information. The HIT protocol will also be open, allowing other companies to develop apps, which will increase the utility of the system. iPowow has been scanning the horizon but doesn’t see any competitor ready to implement an effective TV rewards program. “The way we see it is, someone going to do this,” Douglas said. “Someone’s going to produce a media engagement token that’s global and covers all video interactions, and people get rewarded for watching and they can go spend it on things. We say it’s going to be us, so that’s what we’re going to do.These are our official social platforms:

MY TOP 3:
1 ) Spectrecoin (XSPEC) - Very promising!
2 ) Phore (PHR) - Very promising!
3 ) NIX and Zoin (ZOI)  - Very promising!

The following projects are also undervalued, but their rating after my analysis is lower than those of the previous 3.

4 ) Monoeci (XMCC) - The price fell because the team went on vacation. In September, good news is expected to grow.
5 ) XP - Very interesting project, which is strongly supported in Japan.
6 ) Burst (BURST) - mining HDD
7 ) Espers (ESP) - Starts the POS v3
8 ) IntenseCoin (ITNS) - They rebranded, different from other offers on the market
9) UCOM - United Crypto Community - The project is risky, but you can buy for an amount that is not a pity.

[seo-maestro]

I like new alts because they have bigger potential and still cheap now:
1) CardStack
2) OneLedger
3) Atonomi
4) QuarkChain
5) NKN
but DYOR!

Ontology [ONT] - $1.77
Polymath [POLY] - $0.233

All the way I will go with ethereum as the price is much cheaper and you can buy more ethereum and you money is much secure than other altcoins.

[CowboyX]

I think your crypto-currency portfolio is very good considering that all these altcoys are young and have great potential

[Disclaimert]

Cardano (ADA)
Litecoin (LTC)
Stellar (STR)
NEO and
Ripple (XRP)

and others I trust Unibright (UBT) and Debitum Network (DEB)
some of these altcoins are very good for investment this month.

[WhaleTank]

It's not the bottom, after the bounce every alt will make you at least x2.
But not all alts will do it. Neo will do easy x2-x5.
Also, IOTA, ADA, shortly - all top 20 coins|
WhaleTank Trade

[usekevin]

Everyone will have their own preference order.Before investing your money in altcoin,you must check the potential of that altcoin.
My preference of altcoin will be in this order.

ETH
Monero
Litecoin
NEO
Ripple

All this altcoin had huge potential as compared to the rest of the altcoin in the cyptocurrency market.
You should not get panic at the small fluctuation in the price of altcoin.

[Master_dandosha]

There is no top 5 in AUG or on the whole year . my choice will be zero for altcoins 100 percent  :
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Hope you get the idea trading altcoins is not profitable anymore unless bitcoin prices enter steady trends .

[Neurzway]

thanks !

[KayceeMae]

 I believe that if bitcoin is down all coins go down and coins do not rise to their full potential without bitcoin going up whatever the coin it's good or very innovative , it's still need bitcoin since the whole crypto ecosystem is dependant on bitcoin , hence we are here on bitointalk

[Neurzway]

ada

[Neurzway]

and neo

[Davil]

Every single altcoin is in sales, those discounts are crazy. If the market bounces it won't really matter too much which one/s you pick, you'll make profit almost for sure.

The one I really like is ICX, these South Koreans seem to know what they're doing... I wouldn't sell at this price for anything in the world, even taking into account that I'm still on profit with it.

On the other hand, I hope a good future for ETH, even when the CEO of Bitmex has just stated it will go under $100 (anyway, he makes money by leveraging bets on shorts, doesn't he do it?).

[sweetbet]

There's a lot of talk on Crypto Twitter that DigiByte is one of the coins to keep an eye on this year.

[coyote50]

check out holochain and apex. i am only wanting to get into projects with large visions like those

E-commerce is currently dominated by data-rich middlemen like Amazon, Alibaba, CJ Affiliate, eBay, Walmart and other intermediary e-commerce application and services, but while these tech giants accumulate power through collecting more and more data about consumers, the experience and economics for buyers, sellers, and other marketplaces remains stagnant. Buyers must search multiple marketplaces to find product availability and best prices. Vendors must switch between marketplaces to update their inventories or risk double-selling and jeopardize their reputation. Ultimately, these middlemen collect high fees on every transaction, cutting into vendor’s profits and increasing product costs for consumers. Marketplaces lack efficient mechanisms for rewarding affiliate marketers that assist with the sale of products and deal with problems related to fraud, spam, and inefficient dispute resolution systems.
Spl.yt has developed a protocol powered by smart contracts that aims to revolutionize the e- commerce ecosystem with its global inventory on the blockchain and tokenized rewards to incentivize honest, real transactions. Some of the capabilities enabled by the Spl.yt protocol include global inventory wherein listings are synced across marketplaces, more accurate listings and fraud/spam detection, incentivized affiliate marketing via automated payments, dispute resolution, reputation tracking, and fractional ownership managed by smart contracts.
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.

TIM is enterprise ready. Amongst many, few applications of TIM blockchain are discussed below:TIM can scale from 100 TPS to 100 Million TPS by dynamically sharding in smaller shards and maintaining a global consensus of every transaction through two layers of graph and blockchain. Thus, TIM provides an unprecedented level of performance and cross commerce opportunity for hosting transaction-based businesses, i.e. finance, banking, logistics, ecommerce, etc. The crossindustry commerce is highly frictional due to huge amount of integration required. For example, to create a partnership between logistics and healthcare business, one needs to integrate two different types of ERP systems, CRM, and EDI (electronic data exchanges). Even the same industry verticals can benefit from TIM blockchain. Like consumer banking and fx-trading businesses can become seamless using secure, encrypted and anonymous features to quickly move their inventories with least amount of integration. Below image shows one of the TIM venture in banking space.
TIM is also developing free Taxi service on fee free subchain. The taxi service will run on the smart contract. This will cut down / disrupt aggregator services like Uber and Ola in the developing nations charging very high commissions up to 30 % from taxi drivers.Seamless Global Currencies - TIM blockchain is going to host electronic currencies for governments and regional unions. The possibilities are endless for faster trade and commerce, banking transparency as well as frictionless settlements. $TIM is the internal money of TIM blockchain to manage the trust and consensus of the humongous TIM network. The currencies of the governments and their supplies can be controlled by the central banking regulators based on their own bespoke demands. This provides unprecedentedlevel of access to various kinds of economic opportunities and control over the bad actors. High performance network of TIM blockchain ensures that all the currency businesses for all the nations can be hosted on a single network and also without any direct mining fees. The currencies are hosted in a hybrid of main-net and subchains so that only they have minimal presence on main network for optimal control and lowest mining fees. All the major businesses are handled in fee free subchains of TIM.Fee Free subchains to be your personal blockchain - TIM can host 2^60 subchains which are protected by fee free challenger nodes. With same level of performance and security as TIM network, subchains can be your new email address or health record or roaming data storage like dropbox. There are a host of benefits where such a mailbox could be totally encrypted and free of any advertising or profiling your communications. It can be used for other services like one can pay for what you use for storage or bandwidth.

Look on those coins while bitcoin is showing again itself as the leader of the board. Bitcoin tanks, all alts are dropping low.

There is no top 5 in AUG or on the whole year . my choice will be zero for altcoins 100 percent  :
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin
Bitcoin

Nice list though.

Hope you get the idea trading altcoins is not profitable anymore unless bitcoin prices enter steady trends .

Some alts are profitable but unlike bitcoin, it's very much profitable as usual.

[Uhde]

if you ask me about the ones that are undervalued. i can say those ones:
wanchain
apex
neo
bluzelle
binance
they are both have a potential to up in the first bullish trend.

The more engaged and involved viewers are, the easier it is for content providers to gain lucrative sponsorship from brands.
A great example of a show iPowow worked with to improve audience engagement was “Modern Family” on the USA Network, sponsored by Target. Viewers had the opportunity of going to ModernFamilyLive.com while the show was airing and to participate live on their 2nd screens. Viewers were given fun options like choosing whose side they were on when dilemas came up between characters, guessing the outcome of a situation, or voicing their own opinions on a plot quandary. As soon as viewers picked an option, they could see what percentage of others agreed with their decision. As viewers played along with the show, they could also see which top 5 viewers racked up the most points by being right on their guesses for outcomes. This made for a satisfying, real-time, community-based experience, beyond just watching the show. Modern Family fans could let their love of the show be known to other fans and flaunt their knowledge of the characters by engaging and competing as the show aired.
Another example of enhanced viewing experience used Facebook Live to interact with a Top 30 News anchor as she shared news bits from different years occuring on that day. Emoticons floated across the screens of smartphones as reactions were shared in real time by viewers. The news anchor was able to share the results of a poll about a controversial current event topic and comment on the percentages on both sides of the issue. In this way, individuals were able to directly contribute to the entire viewing experience by providing feedback that was incorporated by the news anchor.
The HIT Protocol, an iPowow initiative, takes this audience participation to the next level by incentivizing even more and deeper engagement. The system accomplishes this by offering additional rewards to viewers for their participation. Rewards are distributed to viewers in HIT tokens which can then be redeemed for valuable goods and services in the Digital Shopping Plaza. By use of smart contracts and the tokenization enabled by blockchain technology, the HIT Protocol dramatically upgrades the way viewers engage with shows and brands. Viewers will look forward to seeing their favorite shows so they can have the opportunity to earn HITs.

Rewarding TV and video viewers with HIT tokens adds one more important facet to the dazzling jewel of engagement for consumers. A facet with the potential to outshine all others.

Today, by tokenizing the global TV and Video industries, we harmonize and optimize all three important elements of the ecosystem: viewers, networks/content creators, and advertising brands. Through the rapid adoption and use of our HIT tokens among these three groups, we inspire a new, more holistic relationship between them all, with increased transparency and added value.
Our new blockchain ecosystem for television and video content, based on the HIT protocol means:
• Viewers get paid to watch & participate with their favorite shows
• Content Creators engage viewers & generate revenue
• Advertisers gain transparency & insight on their audience      These are our official social platforms:

As the e-commerce system stands today, sellers must switch between different marketplaces in order to update their inventory, which consumes precious time and resources. Spl.yt powers a revamped e-commerce system that enables inventory to be updated automatically across different marketplaces — no more accidental double-selling items that can jeopardize your reputation.An estimated $93B of sales are lost each year due to hiccups in “dropshipping.” While that might not be a term you’re familiar with, it’s almost certainly a service you’ve used. A dropshipper is a third party used by a retailer to stock, process, and ship orders directly to the customer. Most retailers never set eyes on your online purchases — it’s the dropshippers who get you your purchases.
The most common problem for dropshippers is managing their inventory across several marketplaces. They must ensure that, if an item is out of stock, every marketplace they list on reflects this, again wasting time and money. Thanks to the automated inventory updates enabled by the Spl.yt protocol, Spl.yt is able to neutralize inventory inefficiencies for dropshippers potentially saving our economy the $93B of sales lost each year.
Is your online reputation important to you?
Shoppers are only comfortable purchasing products from unknown vendors when the seller proves to have a solid reputation score from other buyers. Review systems establishes “trust” in otherwise anonymous entities in the online universe, but require additional time and resources. When sellers maintain separate reputation scores across different marketplaces, the information is not only unreliable, but also consumes additional time and money.
Spl.yt’s smart contract-based protocol can be leveraged to sync reputation scores across multiple marketplaces. Simply put, when a seller is connected to Spl.yt, their inventories and reputations will be available and visible across marketplaces with no extra time or money required.
So what does e-commerce revamped look like?
Spl.yt’s protocol renders the processes for inventory updates, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, reputation, and other e-commerce systems more efficient by automating functions now performed by middlemen. Look to Spl.yt if you would prefer the future of e-commerce should provide the market reach of Alibaba, with the assurance of Amazon, at the prices of Craigslist.

My preference for this August 2018 altcoins may be:
Ethereum
Ripple
NEO
EOS
IOTA

But those may be changing along with the changes on the market and the emerging of other greater altcoins from new ICO. We will not know the next probabilities happen in cryptocurrency as well.

[KyberJaxx]

I admit that your crypto-currency portfolio is very good! All these altcoyins are quite promising in my opinion

[Kingsingle]

You should not ask this question, this sentence is only for those who do not want to enter the cryptographic market

[kiatitami]

Top 5 monkeys, buy ETH and BTC now is a wise decision for you

[ERossin]

In my opinion they are XVG, ADA, SNM, KMD, Vechain to get a big increase in next months but we must wait for the bitcoin increase to get new level then altcoins will get a follow to increase .

[merrillolive]

Should invest in BTC and ETH, which are two extremely valuable coin for us

[helloweiwei]

All right, I have some funds I am going to deploy at current market prices equally divided into the following 5 alt-coins.


Below are the entry prices as on 10 Aug 2018:

Golem [GNT]  - $0.186
Atonomi [ATMI] -  $0.015
Quarkchain [QKC] - $0.0384
Ontology [ONT] - $1.77
Polymath [POLY] - $0.233

I will update this thread periodically as a performance record of this small altcoin portfolio.

I only see QKC and POLY as coin to invest. Why do not you try other altcoins much better? ETC EOS ICX and NEO. They are the top altcoin and are extremely cheap to invest in August

[IvanMoura]

Should invest in BTC and ETH, which are two extremely valuable coin for us

At this time, there is no point in investing in BTC or ETH, I look towards the cheap tokens that can be purchased during the ISO. For example: the same OPP Open Wi-Fi, this token can bring significant gains over 2-5 months.

[passwordnow]

Should invest in BTC and ETH, which are two extremely valuable coin for us

My two preferred coin as well.

No need to ask why we should choose bitcoin and ethereum. But as  long as you have enough bitcoin then you can start buying some alts and ETH is one of it.

[boakyei]

My top five altcoin for August is Ether; the price is undervalued and can be buy at a cheap price now. My second is Waves, third Neo,  fourth is NPX and my last is Truegame.

[mithuz]

I got mine. Golem (GNT) and Polymath (POLY) with Faast. Their low-cost on-chain trading engine can save you to trade 5 more cryptos. They just listed Golem (GNT) by the way. Grab some! https://medium.com/faast/decentralized-supercomputing-project-golem-gnt-now-available-on-faast-744deacdd54f

[Badboy45]

I think Sparkster, ADA, NULS, SUb and Quark. All going to be huge value in a few years

[ngocdhbk2]

All right, I have some funds I am going to deploy at current market prices equally divided into the following 5 alt-coins.

iPowow is now developing a smart contract to be integrated into its existing platform to improve the overall experience for viewers, content providers, and brands. Data can be used to personalize experiences for viewers. And all will be carefully regulated via smart contract with the permission of the viewer.
Today, by tokenizing the global TV and Video industries, we harmonize and optimize all three important elements of the ecosystem: viewers, networks/content creators, and advertising brands. Through the rapid adoption and use of our HIT tokens among these three groups, we inspire a new, more holistic relationship between them all, with increased transparency and added value.
Our new blockchain ecosystem for television and video content, based on the HIT protocol means:
• Viewers get paid to watch & participate with their favorite shows
• Content Creators engage viewers & generate revenue
• Advertisers gain transparency & insight on their audience
All the players in the media ecosystem benefit using HITs, for a sustainable exchange of HIT tokens between members. Let’s see how this works:
For Viewers
We are creating a global marketplace — a digital Shopping Plaza. With the HIT protocol, every moment a viewer spends watching or interacting with their favorite show is a way to put HIT tokens into their account, which they can seamlessly use to purchase digital and physical goods and services on our inventoried item management system. This transforms the anonymous consumer patterns on TV and online video into a worldwide economy where the consumer of video content is fully engaged and in control, with more choices, tailored to each viewer’s preferences. No more whack-a-moling through annoying and seemingly random pop-up ads a viewer has no interest in, before being allowed to see desirable content.
For TV Networks and Content Creators
The HIT protocol provides TV networks with new interactive marketing campaigns to enhance the viewer experience and keep them coming back for more. To help drive repeat engagement, broadcasters and their programs will be given special campaign management tools, including the ability to create show-specific badges and achievement levels attached to limited-time campaigns. Sponsorship integration will allow the promotion of partners within given campaigns. Subscription Video On Demand (SVOD) will present opportunities for partners to recycle evergreen or continued-demand content with new interactive experiences.
Compensation for content creators on channels like YouTube has always been an area of contention in an ever-changing terrain of percentages and viewer stipulations that make earning a fair reward for quality content a challenge. When viewers interact with creators, the HIT protocol tracks that engagement, enabling the content creator to learn more about their audience which in turn helps in the creation of better content.
Using the HIT protocol, these kinds of creators will be able to choose how they will be compensated for their content to let the market decide the value of their contributions. TV shows and content creators can give viewers the power to choose the outcome of character eliminations, plot twists and affect the future by voting with their HIT tokens for an enhanced synergistic rapport to develop a loyal following.
For Brands
Today, brand advertisers don’t have any real data about who sees their TV commercials or what viewers do after seeing commercials. The HIT protocol changes this by allowing full transparency so advertisers can see who is interacting with their commercials or with any interactive promotions they run within TV shows or video content. (Of course, viewers must give their consent to be tracked and they are rewarded for their consent.) This never-before-possible level of transparency gives brands a new level of insight into their customers and potential customers, so they can tailor their advertising, campaigns, messaging, and even products to a specific audience more effectively and for higher sales and a better rate on investment for advertising.
The HIT blockchain protocol of iPowow creates the best possible ecosystem for Viewers, Networks/Content Creators and Brands. It’s win/win/win for everyone. Come up to the next level of TV and video with us!Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

IC wallet is an encrypted blockchain based cryptocurrency wallet. The IC Exchange software is integrated with the multi-currency wallet system. Wallet funds are protected via cryptography as well as a multi-signature cold storage which guards market participants’ funds from any external access. All cryptocurrency funds will be automatically managed through the IC Wallet interface. Fiat funds such as Euro or US Dollar can be deposited in the IC Bank and managed manually by the IC Exchange operator or automated through the implementation of payment processing features through the IC Digital Bank interface. Multiple layers of security prevent any hacking attempt and ensure that funds always remain safe. The first layer is established through utilizing multiple independent servers. The IC Exchange software is bridged with the IC wallet where all crypto funds will be stored. Recordkeeping procedures will be another layer with continuous reconciliation to prevent hacking from occurring, while maintaining compliance with major regulatory bodies. The client’s assets are further protected by using the IC Digital Bank account to store the fiat currency, and the IC Brokerage account to store the traditional assets. The IC Wallet application will also include a custom dashboard that portrays the total value of all the different assets allocated in the IC Bank (fiat account balances), IC Brokerage (Stocks and commodities portfolios), and cryptocurrency balances.

IC Wallet users who trade crypto against crypto can transfer their assets between IC wallets safely and smoothly on the blockchain through a set of procedures that will verify all legal requirements such as, KYC, AML and multi signature. Crypto traders will be able to trade traditional assets with other individuals (P2P) or through IC Brokerage from markets like NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, etc. As IC Wallets and order requests are entered by the user on IC Exchange, the order matching software will match all the buyers and sellers together depending on the best bid and the best ask orders in order to ensure that the execution of the trade occurs with the best available market price and in an efficient timely manner as the IC Exchange will have an IC Liquidity pool as well as API connections to the top exchanges which will be accessible to all investors.

IC Wallet holders who are wishing to exchange any type of crypto to any type of their preferred fiat currency, are able to do so through requesting the order from the IC Exchange’s platform which will release the order and once completed, directly deposit the fiat fund into the users’ IC Bank. As users enter their wallet address and their trading orders if they are trading crypto/traditional asset pairs, the IC Exchange order book will match the best bid and the best ask orders and connect the users together to complete the transaction, once the order is filled the software will complete the swap and deposit the funds and assets in their respective destination.

The IC Digital Bank is fully integrated and cohesive with the IC Wallet, IC Exchange and IC Brokerage to guarantee the quick and safe movement of funds between clients’ bank accounts. Traditional assets are stored in the IC Brokerage account, fiat will be stored in the IC Bank and cryptocurrencies will be stored in the IC Wallet.

Interesting choices here. I don't know if they can grow much in this bear market though. They may at least not fall that much as others do.

The more engaged and involved viewers are, the easier it is for content providers to gain lucrative sponsorship from brands.
A great example of a show iPowow worked with to improve audience engagement was “Modern Family” on the USA Network, sponsored by Target. Viewers had the opportunity of going to ModernFamilyLive.com while the show was airing and to participate live on their 2nd screens. Viewers were given fun options like choosing whose side they were on when dilemas came up between characters, guessing the outcome of a situation, or voicing their own opinions on a plot quandary. As soon as viewers picked an option, they could see what percentage of others agreed with their decision. As viewers played along with the show, they could also see which top 5 viewers racked up the most points by being right on their guesses for outcomes. This made for a satisfying, real-time, community-based experience, beyond just watching the show. Modern Family fans could let their love of the show be known to other fans and flaunt their knowledge of the characters by engaging and competing as the show aired.
Another example of enhanced viewing experience used Facebook Live to interact with a Top 30 News anchor as she shared news bits from different years occuring on that day. Emoticons floated across the screens of smartphones as reactions were shared in real time by viewers. The news anchor was able to share the results of a poll about a controversial current event topic and comment on the percentages on both sides of the issue. In this way, individuals were able to directly contribute to the entire viewing experience by providing feedback that was incorporated by the news anchor.
The HIT Protocol, an iPowow initiative, takes this audience participation to the next level by incentivizing even more and deeper engagement. The system accomplishes this by offering additional rewards to viewers for their participation. Rewards are distributed to viewers in HIT tokens which can then be redeemed for valuable goods and services in the Digital Shopping Plaza. By use of smart contracts and the tokenization enabled by blockchain technology, the HIT Protocol dramatically upgrades the way viewers engage with shows and brands. Viewers will look forward to seeing their favorite shows so they can have the opportunity to earn HITs.

Rewarding TV and video viewers with HIT tokens adds one more important facet to the dazzling jewel of engagement for consumers. A facet with the potential to outshine all others.

Today, by tokenizing the global TV and Video industries, we harmonize and optimize all three important elements of the ecosystem: viewers, networks/content creators, and advertising brands. Through the rapid adoption and use of our HIT tokens among these three groups, we inspire a new, more holistic relationship between them all, with increased transparency and added value.

August 2018 has not shown a sign of the market recovering, this is what makes us have to be vigilant and choose good and profitable coins, the 5 coins that I rely on to get big profits are: NEO, Ethereum, Qtum, TRON and Stellar.

[maarx]

Obviously BTC is going to be the top one follwed by ETH based on its growth trend and values. BCH, NEO, NEM would follow in the order. There are chances with other crypto currencies but need to take a huge step forward in growing up values competing each other. You can even choose the best tokens with best projects. Coinmarketcap.com would be supporting you choose the best coins.

You have a good selection for a cheap altcoins and you should be careful as we are in a bearish this cheap altcoins will fall and go at the bottom. I have observed that a cheap alts can't easily recovers after the downfall maybe this is due to limited volume.

If entrepreneurs always waited for consumers to tell them what they want, we wouldn’t have innovation. No one told Steve Jobs they wanted a little box with just a few buttons that could play all their favorite songs. We already had Discman, and we didn’t know we wanted the iPod until it was right in front of us.

The Genesis of iPowow

Back in the late Nineties I was working at a London-based TV production company. The idea was to provide viewers with a little box with plastic buttons labeled, “A, B, C, and D” that would allow them to interact live with the TV show’s host. For example, if the guest today was Brad Pitt, a question might pop up on screen with four choices like this:

What topic do you want to hear next?

Pitt’s upcoming epic sci fi thriller, Ad Astra

What happened to Angelina Jolie?

Best and worst Hollywood experience

Acting vs. producing

Viewers could then select their choice and ultimately determine the direction of the show they’re watching. In the late Nineties, the technology wasn’t where it needed to be to make interactive TV possible. But the idea of providing viewers with opportunities to engage directly with their favorite shows stuck with me.

For the next decade I produced, scripted or edited TV shows such as “BBC Top Gear,” “MasterChef,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Big Brother,” and “MythBusters.” It seemed I was the only one asking how we could get the audience engaged in real-time. Why? No viewers were asking to engage with the TV show in real-time, so why change them? This is why what’s next is more important than what’s now.

In 2010, technology had developed to a place where the idea of connecting viewers directly to TV shows in real time was finally possible. I worked with a team of engineers and TV producers to build the first prototype for iPowow. A year later, our technology allowed Sports Center to pose a question live on air to the audience like, “Who will win the superbowl this year?” Viewers use their phones to go to the Sports Center vote page to pick their team and the results of the poll show up in real time in the TV studio. Viewers feel more connected to the show, and Sports Center and their sponsors learn more about their viewers.

Turns out people do want to engage more with their favorite content, but they just didn’t know it. When we presented iPowow to TV executives at Disney, Fox, and NBC, they all went for it. We’ve since worked with all the major TV networks and Fortune 500 brands from Coca Cola, to Samsung, to Lexus.

If I’d asked viewers what they wanted to change about their TV experience in 1996, they may have told me they liked it just the way it was. This is why the mantra of what’s next drives me to continue iterating novel solutions for iPowow rather than resting on our laurels as a globally known technology for enabling participation TV.

The next development for iPowow takes engagement to the next level. We are building an initiative called the HIT Protocol, which enables viewers to get paid for watching and engaging with their favorite shows. No one asked us for this invention because people didn’t know it was possible. The advent of blockchain changed that, as the technology allows for the tokenization of activities like watching and participating in TV shows.

Here are 3 steps for anticipating what’s next instead of what’s now:

Read the signs

Though people may not be conscious of what they desire beyond the here and now, they will leave hints about what they may want in the future. This is actually how Facebook and other tech platforms know more about their users than users know about themselves. People leave clues to their unconscious desires through their actions and behaviors. Facebook has been known to predict whether a user will get married or get divorced before the user has consciously made that decision.

Trust your instincts

It’s always a good idea to listen to mentors and those who came before you, but at some point you have to trust that voice in your head (or the gut feeling you get) and go for it. If I’d listened to and accepted the way things were all those years I worked in television, I never would have built that first prototype with iPowow.

Don’t stop

If you’ve successfully built a product that people want and use, great! That’s hard to do, but don’t stop there, because there’s always the next thing. This is why, despite iPowow’s work and relationships across the TV and media industry, we are now developing the HIT Protocol to further deepen the bond between viewers, content, and brands.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

Unlike most Blockchain projects that are being freshly minted without an established track record, iPowow has a documented portfolio of over 200 different initiatives over the past 8 years, boosting viewer interactions through gamification, contests, comments, and Q&A.

The company has done work with NBC, ABC, FOX, Disney, ESPN, CNN, Comcast, USA Network, to name a few. In addition, VISA, McDonalds, Lexus, Target, Samsung and Coca Cola are among the brand partners iPowow has assisted in developing meaningful relationships with viewers.

iPowow’s “Participation TV” concept allows viewers to connect directly to TV content via second screen mobile devices such phones and iPads. The company, through the use of blockchain, aims to deepen connections between viewers and content providers through tokenized content.

In short, this new platform based on the HIT protocol will allow:

Viewers to get compensated for watching and participating with their favorite shows
Content Creators to engage with viewers and create a revenue stream
Advertisers to gain transparency & insight on their audiences.
With this level of transparency brands will now have access to new kernels of insight into their customers and potential customers. This allows for the more effective targeting of advertising and product campaigns to specific audiences, leading to higher sales and advertising return on investment.

Says Douglas: “By tokenizing the Global TV and Video industries, we are able to harmonize and optimize three critical elements of the ecosystem: viewers, networks/content creators, and advertising brands. As the adoption and use among these three groups takes shape, we’ll be able to spark a new set of holistic, collaborative relationships, with increased transparency and added value.”

Towards this quest, iPowow is developing a smart contract for integration into its existing platform — one designed to enhance the overall experience for viewers, content providers, and brands. This blockchain-based system will provide all stakeholders with greater opportunities for engagement, connection, revenue and incentive rewards.

Asked about the genesis and evolution of iPowow, Douglas had this to say: “While we had been aware of Blockchain for quite some time, it hadn’t really grabbed our attention until the end of 2017. It seemed to us that our gamification platform—where we were already providing points to viewers for answering questions live on television with their phone, or live on a laptop—was just one small step away from a tokenized viewing experience. So, we dug into it at the beginning of 2018 and decided we would set off down the track, of migrating iPowow interactive platform onto the Blockchain.”

Douglas then offered his assessment of what he and his team are learning on this journey: “We are discovering how difficult it must be for other companies to launch a Blockchain project from zero. Frankly, it must be extremely tough because we ourselves are finding it to be an unusual business challenge even with us having a platform that has traction, relationships and contact with every broadcaster in the US.”

He concludes: “Blockchain is like the wild west. It is a fairly straightforward concept, but when you get into it, there are a number of different complexities. It’s so important to pick the right way of doing things to ensure that our product is going to be effective. Gratifyingly, through the work of our engineering team and our advisors, iPowow’s platform as it stands is extremely robust and only a couple of steps away from what it needs to be in terms of the Hit token flowing through it. This has been very gratifying.”Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

Despite the appearance of entrepreneurship being a carefree career path, it is quite the opposite. Being an entrepreneur is hard. Like ducks, entrepreneurs are calm on the surface, while paddling like crazy underneath.Some of the unspoken hard truths of entrepreneurship include the fact that it’s stressful across numerous fronts, and the frustrations often have a way to be never-ending. The best way for novice entrepreneurs to avoid certain pitfalls is to learn from the trials and tribulations of more seasoned entrepreneurs, as they are capable to offer insights first-timers can learn from, without going about it the hard way.

The following insights have been provided by some of the top business leaders in high-tech across numerous industries, from blockchain, to med tech, to DIY, finance, and more. When implemented correctly, their combined wisdom is bound to serve as the secret sauce of success for novice entrepreneurs.Gavin Douglas, CEO of iPowow and HIT Protocol

iPowow, a global platform for TV producers and streaming video broadcasters, is introducing the HIT Protocol, a blockchain initiative that will empower all players in the media ecosystem with more opportunities for engagement, revenue, and rewards. Currently, the majority of TV and digital content is still presented to viewers as a one-way experience despite audience demand for more ways to participate. HIT Protocol turns this model on its head and rewards viewers for watching content and getting involved in polls and contests with HIT tokens that have real value in the HIT media ecosystem. “Achieving success as an entrepreneur today is all about anticipating what consumers will want next,” says CEO of iPowow and HIT Protocol, Gavin Douglas. “Given the pace of technological change, it’s important for business leaders to stay up-to-date on the latest developments revolutionizing their respective industries, or risk being left behind.”Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

For me, my top 5 altcoins for the month of august 2018 are
ethereum
neo

litecoin and
cardano

Those are some pretty good ones and safer ones, but for those who are not willing to take so much risk in a highly volatile market. However, the more the risk, the more the gain and there are so many coins and tokens right now that will really give some pretty good boost based on the fact they are so undervalued, have low market cap and can go huge like XSPEC but like I said, it totally depends on the risk each person is willing to take. I still see ADA as one coin that is going huge as well though and I am so looking forward to it.

[mysql2454]

First, a content provider integrates the iPowow interface with content, such as a TV show. During the show, viewers are prompted with a call to action to participate in some way with the content they are watching. Viewers can respond to the call to action directly on the device on which they are watching the content or through a second device. Once viewers sign up to begin earning rewards, they can interact with specific elements of the show and accumulate HITs for their time and interaction. These valuable HIT tokens can then be used on the Digital Shopping Plaza to purchase physical and digital goods, access to more content, and experiences offered by our content partners.

By offering viewers with a direct path from content to commerce, we also provide content providers with invaluable knowledge about what content is most successful in generating revenue. Historically, brands and content providers needed to sort through many disparate data sources to make conjectures about which content led to purchases. By connecting to the HIT Protocol, content providers no longer need to guess about what is working and what isn’t, as HITs connect the dotted lines between viewing habits and product purchases.
Get Started
The entrypoint for all viewers to access their HIT balances is the “HIT Account.” To start, adoption incentives are offered for signing up to the platform, creating a profile, and referring others. Data incentives are also offered for viewers who opt-in to provide their viewing and interaction data to support their favorite shows. This provides valuable data to brands and show creators. Gamification incentives are offered for competing on participation leaderboards, and achieving consecutive login streaks. We include milestone incentives for those reaching and maintaining HITs balance milestones and leveling-up their profiles. This encourages viewers to keep track of their HITs and engage in opportunities to increase their numbers.
In addition to driving engagement and participation, fans have the opportunity to create social profiles to display their earned recognition for activity in the community. The most dedicated and active participants of the HIT community will also be first in line for feature and content test groups as the platform develops and grows, encouraging healthy competition among users.
Earn Rewards for Watching & Engaging
Viewers earn HITs by watching and interacting with shows and ads. Poles and contests are a couple of the ways viewers can engage. Loyalty and rewards incentives are presented by broadcasters, brands and advertising campaigns, customized to viewers.
Viewers can circulate HITs by spending them to influence the trajectory of a given show. This can be done by voting and by sending donations or tips to broadcasters, streamers and content creators. This active exchange of tokens, encourages viewer participation with shows as well as with each other, strengthening the show’s fan base and the health of the ecosystem.
Tools for Shows and Advertisers
In a world where sequels are king, and building on existing universes matters (both for dollars and mindshare), iPowow has the features to match the market. To drive repeat engagement, broadcasters and showrunners are given several campaign management tools. We offer the ability to create show-specific badges and achievements matched to limited-time campaigns for brands. This highly targeted marketing is especially effective with dedicated fans of ongoing series. The incentivized model powered by HITs ultimately allows for fandom to reign supreme, providing a highly effective mechanism for networks to better understand their specific audiences.
Looking to the Future
We are committed to fostering the creation of new and exciting audience engagement applications by rewarding developers with HITs for building novel solutions on our protocol. Our Source Development Kit, or SDK, and GitHub repository will enable easy scaling, pulling from and adding to the codebase. With our application distribution system, iPowow’s worldwide partnerships for the HIT Protocol will be an attractive launchpad for apps made for the HIT token. The true power of the HIT Protocol will be unlocked by allowing developers to distribute HIT-based interactive apps across a global platform.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

You have a good selection for a cheap altcoins and you should be careful as we are in a bearish this cheap altcoins will fall and go at the bottom. I have observed that a cheap alts can't easily recovers after the downfall maybe this is due to limited volume.

Pretty good selections and good number of coins that can really grow so big in the short term. Presently, I am actually on the lookout for GNT, ONT, ADB, KICK, and POLY with few other top coins like ADA, NEO and ETH. This is good enough for me to handle and see how they all go. One thing with this market is that you never can know how much any coin or token can get, except to just be hopeful and see how it goes, but for these ones, I would just stick with them to see how far they go.

Today I have replaced Atonomi with Pundi X [NPXS]. This was not originally my intention to switch coins, but I have lost faith in Atonomi project and switched my holdings into NPXS.  I hope this set of 5 will remain solid for the coming months.

In 2010, technology had developed to a place where the idea of connecting viewers directly to TV shows in real time was finally possible. I worked with a team of engineers and TV producers to build the first prototype for iPowow. A year later, our technology allowed Sports Center to pose a question live on air to the audience like, “Who will win the superbowl this year?” Viewers use their phones to go to the Sports Center vote page to pick their team and the results of the poll show up in real time in the TV studio. Viewers feel more connected to the show, and Sports Center and their sponsors learn more about their viewers.

Turns out people do want to engage more with their favorite content, but they just didn’t know it. When we presented iPowow to TV executives at Disney, Fox, and NBC, they all went for it. We’ve since worked with all the major TV networks and Fortune 500 brands from Coca Cola, to Samsung, to Lexus.

If I’d asked viewers what they wanted to change about their TV experience in 1996, they may have told me they liked it just the way it was. This is why the mantra of what’s next drives me to continue iterating novel solutions for iPowow rather than resting on our laurels as a globally known technology for enabling participation TV.

The next development for iPowow takes engagement to the next level. We are building an initiative called the HIT Protocol, which enables viewers to get paid for watching and engaging with their favorite shows. No one asked us for this invention because people didn’t know it was possible. The advent of blockchain changed that, as the technology allows for the tokenization of activities like watching and participating in TV shows.

Here are 3 steps for anticipating what’s next instead of what’s now:

Read the signs

Though people may not be conscious of what they desire beyond the here and now, they will leave hints about what they may want in the future. This is actually how Facebook and other tech platforms know more about their users than users know about themselves. People leave clues to their unconscious desires through their actions and behaviors. Facebook has been known to predict whether a user will get married or get divorced before the user has consciously made that decision.

Trust your instincts

It’s always a good idea to listen to mentors and those who came before you, but at some point you have to trust that voice in your head (or the gut feeling you get) and go for it. If I’d listened to and accepted the way things were all those years I worked in television, I never would have built that first prototype with iPowow.

Don’t stop

If you’ve successfully built a product that people want and use, great! That’s hard to do, but don’t stop there, because there’s always the next thing. This is why, despite iPowow’s work and relationships across the TV and media industry, we are now developing the HIT Protocol to further deepen the bond between viewers, content, and brands.Where do I get the most up-to-date information?

The Genesis of iPowow

Back in the late Nineties I was working at a London-based TV production company. The idea was to provide viewers with a little box with plastic buttons labeled, “A, B, C, and D” that would allow them to interact live with the TV show’s host. For example, if the guest today was Brad Pitt, a question might pop up on screen with four choices like this:

What topic do you want to hear next?

Pitt’s upcoming epic sci fi thriller, Ad Astra

What happened to Angelina Jolie?

Best and worst Hollywood experience

Acting vs. producing

Viewers could then select their choice and ultimately determine the direction of the show they’re watching. In the late Nineties, the technology wasn’t where it needed to be to make interactive TV possible. But the idea of providing viewers with opportunities to engage directly with their favorite shows stuck with me.

For the next decade I produced, scripted or edited TV shows such as “BBC Top Gear,” “MasterChef,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “Big Brother,” and “MythBusters.” It seemed I was the only one asking how we could get the audience engaged in real-time. Why? No viewers were asking to engage with the TV show in real-time, so why change them? This is why what’s next is more important than what’s now.

In 2010, technology had developed to a place where the idea of connecting viewers directly to TV shows in real time was finally possible.

Blockchain can increase project transparency, decrease investor risk and develop into an effective financing tool for quality blockchain projects.Most of ICO’s fail because their product contribution is not needed as well as the fact that no major hearing can link with the product. They don’t make sure you conduct intensive market research to make sure that there actually is a need for the initial coin offering concept they are trying to create. Projects make sure they try and create a real functional token economy that makes sense and has a reason for existing. People see many initial coin offerings out there that exist just for the sake to make money. These ICO’s are mostly scams and will fail.

Because a company is holding an ICO, does not necessarily mean that their product has anything to do with blockchain technology — just that they have tokenized their fundraising efforts using a platform. INGOT Coin aims that using blockchain technology is better, and investors need to be aware of why. Investors need to question if it makes good business sense to invest in a company based purely on its use of blockchain technology.

INGOT Coin ensures that funds and personal data are secured during and after ICO. In addition, the team ensures legal compliance not only in the country of registration, but also in all the countries where project operations and token use are planned. INGOT Coin uses transparent legal structure and provides clear justification for blockchain and own utility token. INGOT Coin team is sure to test  MVP if and consider how well it aligns with the promises made in the white paper, satisfies the use case, and demonstrates the advantages over other offerings in the space. We give importance that MVPs should have users, investigate any available customer feedback and how the team has responded. INGOT Coin believes that our brand is the face of our offering and the more time we take to create a good brand identity, the better the rest of our marketing communications will be.

INGOT Coin started to shape the future of the financial markets by collecting their soft cap, receiving over $40,000,000 USD. The team behind INGOT Coin announced that the Pre-token sale is officially closed after successfully raising $40,000,000 USD. In addition to this great new, all INGOT Coin holders can now use their ICC in our Brokerage, INGOT Brokers, and start trading over +1000 instruments. 1 ICC equals 1 USD and will be deposited accordingly in INGOT Brokers.

INGOT Coin ICO phase will finished at 10th October. Based on INGOT Coin extensive financial model, we have placed a hard cap of $90,000,000. This number will ensure we provide the best services with optimal allocations into each component of this all-inclusive ecosystem. Everything is going on right now and Dev team is already working on all our product under the favor of reaching the soft cap target. Team has continued to build innovative product and not waiting for finish of our ICO. INGOT Team believes that victory will be the true workers!!

My 3 pick is:

1) Waves  - smart contracts implementation
2) Neblio  - all languages for Dapps
3) Spectrecoin  - ability to STAKE on STEALTH addresses

[Bezobraznike]

My 3 pick is:

1) Waves  - smart contracts implementation
2) Neblio  - all languages for Dapps
3) Spectrecoin  - ability to STAKE on STEALTH addresses

   I think all the lists are good, even yours. I don`t know how can anyone make the Top 5 list
without telling us about that Top 5 is about. What they have more than others?
   Higher market cap, more supporters, or something third I don`t know. Maybe it`s a list of
individual best picks, but that individual Top 5 should be pointed out.
   I have my own list, and it`s based just on which one I like more, or favor more than others.
I like all my investments equally, so I don`t wish to point out any of them, by the way I have
almost all coins from your list.

[Mrmogz]

My 3 pick is:

Agreed on all 3 of these! Everything is at a great buying price right now, and I am a big believer in the long term value of XSPEC as the top PoS privacy coin.  

If I was to add another 5 coins/tokens (long term not quick trades) I would go with...  

OMG
RHOC
VET
ENG
QASH

Obviously a bunch of the top 10 will likely do well short and long term also.

[linkybit]

In current market conditions, no altcoin looks like the better for short-term investment, most promising altcoin Eth drop to $200. However, there is excellent potential for long-term investments.

[Titorelli]

Im currently into the following coins. I've arranged them based on what I feel will offer the highest potential rate of return to the lowest (Though I believe all will net a nice return.) for the upcoming year of 2019. Feel free to take a look.

1. Spectrecoin, XSPEC
2. Cardano, ADA
3. Banca, BANCA
4. IOTA, IOT
5. OmiseGo, OMG

[hirundinecrypto]

I would love to wait for your story about the 5 altcoins that you hold today. I personally still have not dared to invest in coins that rank far from the top 20. Afraid of the possibility that the coin that we have is potentially a scam coin.

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.

Below are the entry prices as on 10 Aug 2018:

Golem [GNT]  - $0.186
Atonomi [ATMI] -  $0.015  Pundi X [NPXS] - $0.0018 (replaced/priced on 31 Aug '18)
Quarkchain [QKC] - $0.0384
Ontology [ONT] - $1.77
Polymath [POLY] - $0.233

I will update this thread periodically as a performance record of this small altcoin portfolio.

Those are really good choices, I haven't researched on Quarkchain so not sure about it. I too have a good amount of investment in POLY and ONT. Those two are 10-15x coins for me in couple of years time frame. I'm aware of GOLEM project but not fascinate about it anymore, I have booked my partial profit in it and shifted partial of it into POLY.

And you must check out PRIVCY too, it's also an anonymous coin and they are very new. They're not doing any ICO, rather doing 20 weeks of AD to there community members, last 6 weeks remaining.

Think about what would add to your portfolio Refereum and Fusion, as for me it is two very promising coins have no competition.

In my opinion, it is better to make your own research and trust your guts.
I was asking myself what to do when cryptocurrency goes down and found out that the most of the privacy coins are undervalued right now.

The best opportunity is to find a privacy-related project with a low total supply (less than 100M), that way the price will be increasing much faster.

I recently found one project called Ethereum Meta, it is related to anonymity and untraceable transaction. They have a very interesting project to build the Anonymous E-Market Place.

They are on exchanges right now (Just saw that they have been listed on StocksExchange), you can check their website: https://ethermeta.com/
Or even better go through their Bitcointalk thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2659058.0

I guess OP already fails because he doesn’t have something to share about the progress of his investments lol

impatient, are we?

[kabit9]

I would love to wait for your story about the 5 altcoins that you hold today. I personally still have not dared to invest in coins that rank far from the top 20. Afraid of the possibility that the coin that we have is potentially a scam coin.

well the above post is the start of my story of these 5, but it is far from over, actually it has just begun.

all these projects are not scams and i believe are quite solid, where as some coins in the top 20 are definitely scams - Bcash, Dash, Dogecoin....

It seems to me that PundiX is the most promising in the near future. This project has a working product and a very large market. The most important thing is that there are almost no competitors in this market.

I agree, PundiX is one of the real gems in the crypto space.  Mega untapped potential waiting to be unleashsed!

Polymath has taken off in the last 48 hours - currently sitting pretty at $0.255 (up about 10% from my buy price in Aug).
