Let me know your thoughts:
1. THETA (THETA Network Token): this is based on my underlying assumption that the first winner in what is now a pool of shitcoins/tokens will be one to attract an audience that gets to interact with something connected to its blockchain in real life. Genuine blockchain technology supporters are either young or developers (NOT the investors/traders/financial institutions backing it), This generation is generally nihilist, doesn't give a fuck about existing power structures, and wants to create and live within an ecosystem created and designed according to their needs, not others. Where better to start than something like THETA and the THETA Network / THETA coin,
which brings a decentralized version of online streaming (think Twitch on steroids) catered to gamers and their fans. Twitch supports the project, its launched a successful mainnet, operates a visually stunning platform through sliver.tv (which is currently building support base). Theta Fuel operates like BAT tips, where users can subscribe to channels and get virtual perks and a host of future developments. Just think... Dr. Disrespect himself making a live appearance on Sliver.tv and doing a 24/hr stream-athon.
2. ADA (Cardono): Not really a SLEEPING giant, but compared to its often cited rival, EOS, the ADA platform is ridiculously more sophisticated, well-thought out, and is slowly being implemented to ensure a smooth transition into Shelley. Regardless of whether Shelley drops this month or next year is immaterial to its long term use case. The Cardono user base is (a) extremely active (b) the highly technical network allows for non-technical users to stake and participate, (c) the ADA developer cost / coin value is tiny -- meaning users are getting highly developed technical support developed and designed by some of the worlds brightest engineers for a fraction of a penny of what it costs to be a Bitcoin or XRP developer. Cardano is truly decentralized and assigns "master node" status at random to anyone able and willing to maintain a stable internet connection 24/7. At $.04, you'd be crazy IMO not to put aside 5% or so of your portfolio for ADA. 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
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.
4. DGB (DigiByte): Not many know this, but DGB has been actually been around since 1993 while. Similar to LTC, but 100x faster, DGB is a BTC carbon copy. It is a decentralized global UTXO PoW based blockchain with a focus on Cyber Security, DigiAssets, Payments & Secure Communications Technologies. It allows for 15-second block time (60 transactions per second) at a virtually free (<.0001USD/transaction). Why is the price of DGB so low right now (.008USD) is hard to say, but likely corresponds with a high circulating supply, coupled by lack of awareness and not being available on many platforms. Look for DGB to begin being exchanged on more and more platforms as ALTs increase and BTC dominance continues to drop below 50% next year. DGB is appealing because when it jumps, it JUMPS. Look at the daily charts and check out June 2017 and January 2018, followed by a couple of smaller waves. We still haven't hit the third Jump, although it seems imminent and could perhaps occur even before 2020.
5. MANA (Decentraland): Connects digital currency with the purchase or land. Think about that - buying parcels of land online in an instant by using their marketplace platform. How fucking cool is that? MANA is a direct and actual use-case example, and its based upon real estate. I'm just learning more about MANA, but other than THETA, I haven't seen a better use-case offering yet.
