Seems like most of the discussions here is based on the top 50 projects, in which I have a good diversified porfolio, with BTC being my biggest holding for now, followed by ETH.

I've been trying to do some research on some of the lower cap projects out there, and a few of them caught my interest. ARK, seems to be a pretty well funded project with a total of 3000 BTC in dev funds, constant developments, but lack of marketing and overall use case has hurt them a lot I believe.

Blocknet, who made the first DEX in early 2018, and a project who focuses on their Decentralized Oracle Network (XRouter/Xbridge) is another good one, which I believe will do extremely well moving forward. Kucoin and Coss made some SICK gains in 2017, and they where centralized solutions, so only makes sense that DEX related projects follows the same path next bull run.

What else do you guys recommend? I'm only budgetting with around $1000 for each project, so the risk/reward scenario is pretty significant for me.
