My list of 5 Sleeping Giants of 2020 :)

[Dochah_Disrespek]

Sleeping giant is

If you refer to someone or something as a sleeping giant, you mean that they are powerful but they have not yet shown the full extent of their power.

https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/sleeping-giant

The meaning of sleeping giants that you attach to the 5 coins you have is only based on price or is there something else for example the technology?
Only ADA and DGB that I'm interest to have it.

Good point - I should have defined what I mean by "sleeping giant." I'll assume we all know what a "giant" means both colloquially and as a term of art. Let's focus on "sleeping," and I think you're right to question my underlying rationale for thinking these coins are sleeping giants. Here, I use the term "sleeping" as something that is either a) undervalued, b) overlooked, or c) likely to provide the right technology to the right people at right time. If price alone or even marketcap were all that mattered, THETA, DGB and MANA should not be on the list.The "sleeping" aspect of ADA is its technology and sophistication. For THETA, "sleeping" is based on the target audience and technology. For DGB, "sleeping" hits both a) and b), and seems imminently likely to hit c).

Also, just as a disclaimer, I'm not HODLing any DGB or MANA at present. The other Three equal 15% of my portfolio, and I'll likely HODL and accumulate more and more overtime.

   3/5 for me from this list. I have ADA, I have DGB, and I have BNB from January this year. About Theta and Mana I don`t know anything,
this is the first time I hear about this projects.
   DGB and ADA are old crypto-currencies! Very cheap at the moment, but I believe their price will rise cause they good projects. About
BNB we don`t need to talk too much, they are doing amazing thing for crypto-community and it`s good to have some for the future.

The projects you chose are not bad, but personally I prefer to invest only on new projects post 2018, and all lowcap.

It is a riskier but speculators like novelty because there is no price history so anything is possible.

Only BNB based on my opinion become better at the future with five list you have made, ADA and THETA are not good solution for long term investment because very hard to get back to higher price, less investor and owner communicate with big company. BNB have chance to get profit at the future with how active Binance dev want to build BNB with very moment, burn coin to less supply and make meeting with big company.

I agree 100% w/your BNB analysis. I wasn't placing them in any hierarchical order per se, just listing the top 5 IMO. With respect to THETA, we can agree to disagree. THETA is brilliant b/c it targets the perfect demographic for what might become the first widely adopted use case scenario for a virtual gaming currency. Don't sleep on THETA.

No need to waste time convincing these guys. The problem with them are all the same. They see price and nothing more.

None of them ever use crypto, own their own wallets, or whatever. They have accounts on exchanges, and see no difference between btc and BNB except in the price potential.

BNB does win in a use case scenario though. Most alts are hypothetical.

I agree with everyone's point that BNB and ADA aren't technically "sleeping Giants" in the sense that those with knowledge of the market likely have an awareness of their value and marketcap, etc. Binance Coin is practically a household name within the industry at this point. It's "sleeping" in the sense that I think it will pump next year as Binance burns more and more BNB and supply becomes more limited. With ADA, although its  top 10 marketcap, I know of various "insiders" who either completely overlook ADA or have no idea how transformational and well-built the network is actually becoming. Maybe they've heard of "Shelly," but few people are aware of the activity going on behind the scenes. Cardono's relative cost per developer is tiny compared to most altcoins, even the smaller cap ones. We also need to remember that at present time the vast majority of the public has likely never heard of Cardono. To them, she's a sleeping giant in the sense that in 2020 Cardono will be as well-known as ETH and BTC amongst the masses.

Yeah,,, same here. They are not sleeping, and they are very very much in the spotlight almost every day I can see. Which means either they have a lot of money to push out their paid marketing, or they really are very popular and people do feel a lot of emotions when investing with them. Cardano especially has big supporters, BNB I always feel is just Binance users who of course want their exchange to grow.

2.  ADA (Cardono): ADA will defeat the multi-billion dollars shitcoin, EOS, which is run by some kid with a shitty track record. I don't even understand how their ICO generated so much cashflow

Not sure which shit coin will win in the end and the market usually gets funds for any projects in the past and the future of these projects will be known only if they are able to survive the next ten years.

3. BNB (Binance Coin): Owning BNB is more comparable to owning shares in a company than most coin offerings, but even at $18.00 it is so undervalued. Binance is to crypto-trading what Apple is (or used to be) to the retail tech industry. Bigger, faster, and more creatively Binance's growth internationally will inevitably drive up the price of its own coin. This is true despite the fact that a large majority of users can't even access BNB (the US) without going through backdoor channels. Every other exchange just creates a platform and leaves it running. Binance is actually developing partnerships with countries, banks, and ICOs to offer a variety of offerings no other exchange offers.

I am not sure how you evaluate a pre mined coin where Binace hold majority of the coins they created to have a higher valuation than it is now .
They claim that they are burning millions worth of BNB coin according to the white paper but it is not clear how they are compensated whenever they burn the coins, so it is all gimmicks and still confused how you can even compare it to Apple .

[Shasha80]

My altcoins list of 5 sleeping giants of 2020 are Binance coins (BNB), Litecoin (LTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tron (TRX) and Waves.
Of all the altcoins my choice is big coins that have great potential to rise in 2020, the Coins around 2017 the average price is
fantastic. But this year has experienced a very drastic price reduction, therefore I call sleeping giants. Because the coins are
still sleeping now, therefore the price is still cheap. But I'm sure those coins have a good future, and also the price will go up.
We'll see developments these coins.

i can agree with you about ADA only
and add to your list ZEC - since its really sleeping one
but ZEC may keep sleeping for few more years
ADA is going to wake up sooner

can you give me some reasonable reason about ZEC ?
because in my predictions we will see the bull in 2020 and you said ZEC  may keep sleeping for few more years buddy
i think its better to choose IOTA over SEC
thank you

I can't give my own specific picks but I will just list the use case of my five picks.

1. DAG-based coin
2. Faster and more efficient smart contract platform
3. Any coin that involves logistics
4. Any coin that involves real estate
5. A coin that aims to be a universal in-game currency
