I 100% agree that PrimeXBT is positioned to have a huge part in the evolution of the crypto market.  

The ability to profit from declining markets by short selling is so valuable to the crypto-market, as downward swings make up a large majority of any market’s activity.  Short selling has proven to be massively popular with traders in traditional markets, so it’s exciting to finally be able to apply this to cryptocurrency.  

With that said, 2018 was a missed opportunity for many, with only a small percent of people and/or institutional investors bringing in the big bucks throughout the brutal bear market while the majority of traders simply “hodl” in hope to come out the other side alive.

Bring on margin trading with leverage also! Again, Prime XBT are pioneering this territory by allowing all of their trades to be protected by stop-loss orders.  So we can dare to multiply profits by 100x with a safety net of no more than we’re willing to risk losing.

Ethereum is unquestionably valuable, regardless of who the team is - its interoperability and smart contract technology is completely revolutionizing industries. For example, Everex is powered by Ethereum and the project has created a number of brilliant dApps as a result, like these for example: https://medium.com/@ck_87144/industry-shaping-blockchain-products-created-by-everex-a361a1f56447

Looks interesting.  If it takes off could become quite powerful.

COV Token - Covesting

The official Covesting platform is due to launch this year in 5 stages throughout September-October 2018. The COV token is used within the platform to allow for discounted platform fees and rewards payments to be made. Consequently the demand for the token will increase as the eagerly anticipated platform kicks off.

The Beta platform has been live and thoroughly tested by early adopters since May with a super positive response and excitement for the final release. With the final release comes the copy-trading feature as well as the gradual roll out of 90+ tradable cryptocurrencies, which you can see now here: https://covesting.io/demo?symbol=BTC%2FUSD

Full swing marketing campaigns are planned to coincide with the release with the platform. So far Covesting has quietly been doing the work and flying under the radar until they're soon ready to launch in a big way.  Early adopters can benefit in a number of ways:

• The obvious, buying now before they launch and community awareness expands, demand is increased
• Referrals - refer friends and receive up to 40% of their trading fees for life. Be the first of your crypto connections and profit from their activity forever more
• "Buyback and burn" - Covesting will systematically buy back their tokens from other exchanges to then burn them, removing from the market forever and as result increase their value over time, as less are available due to a max supply and no more to be created.

Currently COV is at $0.85 on CoinMarketCap, but I dare say it stay here for long. More information about Covesting at https://Covesting.io

COVESTING has been in preparation mode for most of 2018 and about just to launch their official cryptocurrency exchange and copy-trading platform in September - October this year, making now the prime time to invest. Currently the price is sitting under the $1 mark, however due to the COV token acting as a utility within the platform the market value will consequently increase as users adopt.

So far COVESTING have focused their attention in the development and testing of the beta platform to ensure they deliver on their promise to provide a 100% legally compliant, secure and superior platform with the most technologically sophisticated software and trading tools. Evidently the COVESTING team been thorough in this process with regular and transparent updates to their community in their progress. The Beta platform has been a huge success and as planned they will start to roll out the highly anticipated features in stages throughout Oct-Sept alongside massive marketing campaigns. It won't be long till the crypto community will be seeing and hearing a lot more about them! See more about their launch here: https://medium.com/covesting/soft-launch-of-the-covesting-platform-what-to-expect-95c14e105039

COVESTING is the perfect platform for beginner and advanced traders, who can actually mutually benefit from each other experience, or lack their of with copy-trading. Pro traders earn success fees from allowing others to copy them (18% per follower) and copy traders can literally copy the moves of professionals. The success fee is only taken from the copy-trader if the pro trades successfully. They can choose to copy someone based off their public portfolio, even if a amateur trader who is simply time poor or wants to learn from a master, this is gold!

There's still a chance to be an early adopter before the platform goes live and no doubt expands over the years to come as we welcome the next wave of crypto adopters, technically classified as the the "early majority". More information about COVESTING @: https://covesting.io.

Covesting COV Token - Currently sitting on $0.71 on CoinMarketCap.

The COV token supports the Covesting crypo exchange and trading platform, which is due to officially launch in October this year. It's actually a genuinely brilliant platform, and is legally compliant following the strict requirements of the GFSC (Gibraltar Financial and Securities Commission) - which is a game changer in this day and age where exchanges are now scrambling to try and receive licensing so they can continue to operate. However it's a bit too late for many; who've suffered the irreversible damage from hackers and fraud, caused by the lack of regulations in place from the beginning. The platform also features copy-trading, as well as an additional supportive portal for its members to gain access to free educational resources, tips and trade ideas from professionals, live market info and the latest news - so users have all they need to trade effectively there in one place. It's got a super clear and easy-to-use interface, so it's super easier to buy & sell bitcoin, ethereum etc - making it perfect the much needed solution for the next gen crypto users ready to pump their cash into the industry (may we all profit together! ).

Why I believe it is a good coin to buy now? Is being that we're now in the rare stage just prior to their official launch. Logically the demand of the token will directly increase as new members join the platform, as the token is used to facilitate the fees and rewards system. In their updated roadmap shared a few days ago they're also planned to kick off a massive marketing plan alongside the full launch.

Furthermore, Covesting will initiate the systematic "buyback and burn" plan in October, - “burning” means that purchased tokens will be removed from circulation and locked into an irreversible smart contract address for eternity, consequently decreasing the total supply of COV tokens. This should effectively improve the value of COV over a long-term period. Making it a great coin to HODL. More info about Covesting: https://Covesting.io

While mentioned many times here, I would agree with the main players like BTC, EOS, ETH etc, however I also see huge potential in a few up and coming cryptos also. One in particular being Covesting - COV token. The cryptocurrency supports their new crypto exchange and trading platform. Currently the platform is live with its basic trading functionalities in the Beta Version, but is due to officially launch this Q3-2018 with the highly anticipated copy-trading feature.

Already the Covesting Beta Version is being well received by the community, who're eagerly awaiting and preparing for the official launch, which will expectedly boost the demand for the token as COV is used to facilitate the fees and rewards distributed by the platform. Additionally there is a max supply of 20,000,000 COV with 17,500,000 COV currently in circulating supply with no more tokens ever being created. Furthermore, Covesting plan to 'buyback and burn' COV tokens - where they will systematically buy COV tokens on exchanges and “burn” them, so they're removed from circulation and locked into an irreversible smart contract address for eternity, thus decreasing the total supply of COV tokens and increasing their value over the long-term.

The platform itself is brilliant, with a clean, crisp user interface that's easy to use, at no compromise to the state-of-the-art technology and advanced tools a trader needs to perform at their best. Plus, you can get advice on how to effectively invest in bitcoin or buy ethereum, etc with their "crypto intelligence portal" where there is free educational resources, pro traders share ideas & tips, live market info and latest news.

The exchange also provides multiple revenue generating streams by users doing nothing different - with copy-trading, a generous referral program, and half price platform fees (already competitive in price mind you). Check them out here: https://covesting.io

Covesting is definitely worth your research and a good option for long term investment.

Covesting.

The platform is fully functional in its Beta Version now but is due to launch the official version within this Q3, which will bring the added feature of copy-trading. Wth copy-trading anyone can chose to follow and copy a professional traders moves. The copier sacrifices 18% success fee for copying, but nothing lost if the trade is unsuccessful. The pro trader accumulates this 18% for every individual trader who copied them, and the amount of followers is unlimited...so the potential to increase earnings is huge if you now what you're doing.  It's a pretty sweet mutually beneficial arrangement! Also if you are a skilled trader the platform provides the opportunity to build your portfolio and increase your industry identity which can provide further opportunities as cryptocurrency gains popularity in the years to come!

You can deposit and withdrawer USD, GBP and EUR. Get 50% discount of platform fees by using the COV token and refer by referring friends you can earn up to 40% of their platform fees for life, again the amount of people you refer is unlimited and the more they trade the more you earn for doing absolutely nothing. They are solid in their security also, being DLT licensed under Gibraltar jurisdiction. Learning from the leading exchanges mistakes they adhere to the most rigorous protection procedures, two-factor authentication, data encryption, and secured asset storage with majority of assets in cold storage with only the necessary funds in hot wallets for immediate transactions.

Covesting.io also provide all the essential tools you've come to expect and rely on from the industry leaders, advanced charting software, quick and responsive execution, tight spreads, access to algorithmic techniques and arbitrage bots and the crypto portal for market info, news, tips and tricks and free educational resources. Everything you need to develop your trading skills in one place!

As mentioned here a number of times, the industry is only gaining popularity and the second big wave of crypto traders and adopters is just on the horizon.  It's may feel like a slump for the early adopters who have been involved for quite some time, however all great things take time (particularly the new and unknown).  Before internet took off there were many people didn't feel it was necessary or that beneficial, it took persistence and forward thinkers to bring it to life and realise its full potential. The same rings true for cryptocurrency and blockchain. The once taboo subject is now becoming a common topic and widely discussed among almost any demographic. Still, there are many don’t like the idea of cryptocurrency, but most can at least appreciate that adoption is only a matter of time. That is where, we, the opportunists, can take advantage of this rare point in time.

I feel that with some new, fresh, and inviting enterprises (ones that feel less risky to the general pop) working to bridge this gap between the old perception of crypto being 'dodgy' and working in coherence with legitimate operators and regulations; we will be welcoming the next wave in the very near future.  We're already starting to see this now, with the likes of Covesting - the new crypto exchange and trading platform. Covesting is DLT registered in Gibraltar (one of the first countries to regulate and embrace crypto), and have created a platform that accommodates 'new comers' as well as the well experienced 'old timers' - most of you already here! The user interface is simplistic and intuitive, while providing all the expert trading tools and technology you would expect from an industry leader. Covesting also offer a 'crypto intelligence portal' where users can learn and develop their skills and knowledge, a copy-trading feature (mutually beneficial options to augment profits), and lastly safe and secure procedures of assets with cold storage and hot wallets for the necessary immediate transfers. More info https://covesting.io - COV token. With more and more operators like Covesting, who bridge the gap and build upon what has already been mastered - the crypto and blockchain industry will be propelled into the not so distant future. Just like the internet, the skies the limit!

So for me, the plan is to monopolize cryptos like this one and others with great potential and an honourable purpose to make the industry better for us all.  
 

I would agree with some of the other comments here suggesting ICO's or undervalued crypto's (typically cryptos in their early days) but with a huge amount of potential. Check their roadmap, or follow telegram group and see if they have any big announcements coming up or release of new versions, etc., this is when there is likely an increase in the community interest and you can profit while others jump in a little late.  There are definitely some good ones out there now too. Personally I feel these options offer some of the biggest opportunity for significant returns, but also take a lot of research. Always a risk though, of course.

Yes, I absolutely believe so.

We are only seeing the beginning of cryptocurrency/altcoins really being implemented with any gusto now, when you look at the BIG picture! Which is demonstrated nicely here: https://medium.com/@mccannatron/12-graphs-that-show-just-how-early-the-cryptocurrency-market-is-653a4b8b2720.

The potential of the technology and use of altcoins within business is undeniable, so much even internationally recognised institutions like the United Nations are taking advantage of its benefits (which can be seen with Ambrosus).

As mentioned many times already here in this thread, there must be a rock solid use case for the cryptocurrency or token for it to last. A great example of this is the briefly mentioned Ambrosus above.  Their AMB token is used to facilitate the transfer of real time data and assets within supply chains. How they do this specifically is by integrating sensors with IoT technology and their blockchain protocol, so that data relating to products is updated to the network. The blockchain provides access to data everywhere within a supply chain, at all times. This is highly valuable to stakeholders within a supply chain, so that they can track and be confident the product has been handled correctly before the responsibility is passed on to them. Consumers can be confident of the origin, quality and safety of products and make educated decisions when making purchases. There's a ton more information about how Ambrosus effectively do this at https://ambrosus.com.

The point is the efficiency, accuracy and transparency achieved with the blockchain solution, would not be possible without it = rock solid use case.

The token itself holds value which is an added incentive for enterprises to adopt the system. This value will obviously increase as more institutions deploy the blockchain solution to improve their supply chain management, causing a network effect. Leaving less of the AMB in circulation (with no more being produced), consequently driving the value of the token up.

With a bit of research I'm confident you will see there is a very bright future in altcoins.

Ambrosus is in a prime position to vastly increase by the end of the year - due to the fact they'll be officially launching their fully operational, enterprise-ready network in Q4 this year.  

Ambrosus is a blockchain-IoT, sensor integrated system for supply chains in the food & medicine sector.  

This year so far, has been spent successfully developing and perfecting their blockchain protocol, with the price of the Amber Token (AMB) naturally remaining relatively stable between around $0.30 -$0.80 since February this year throughout this process.  As we move towards the end of 2018, we can expect to see the popularity of Ambrosus significantly increase, due to the official release of the Ambrosus Network (AMB-NET) being deployed into their numerous internationally recognised partners.

AMB is currently ranked 168 on CoinMarketCap, sitting on $0.28 USD, with its all time high at $1.72. To get back to this point is more than achievable. We can assume with the upcoming implementation phase that Ambrosus’s following will accordingly grow, presenting a considerable opportunity now to buy while the price is still low.

Its a project that has had a huge amount of support from day one. Their ICO raised their goal of $30 million, and their team is second to none. Not to mention they are backed by around 40 respected and internationally well-known partners (the likes of the United Nations, EIT, Swiss Food Research, Parity, Microsoft BizSpark to name only a handful.) They're advised by the influential and respected Oliver Bussmann, David Drake, Gavin Wood (again to name only a few).

The community is extremely active and updated with progress at least weekly via social media channels and their Ambrosus Medium Blog. I'm excited to see what the future holds, as this is just the beginning and very early days for a massively ambitious project. More info at https://ambrosus.com

My favourite coin for 2018 is Ambrosus - Amber Token (AMB)

Ambrosus Network (AMB-NET) was created for supply chains, primarily food and medicine.  Supply chains are one of the most worthy and fitting industries to benefit from blockchain technology.  Ambrosus have taken it a step further by integrating blockchain technology, with IoT and real-time sensors to trace and transmit a products data as it moves through a supply chain.  

The real-time sensors are attached to a product, which then monitors and tracks its environment (time, temperature and logistical information) and transmits the data to update the blockchain network as it moves through the supply chain, via the Amber Token (AMB); which acts as a digital certificate that ensures the transparent transfer of information. All the way from the manufacturer to consumer, giving the end consumer a full overview of everything that happened to the product along the way. Ultimately the goal being to ensure the quality and safety of these products to consume.

By use of this system all parties involved in the production, transportation or distribution process can be held accountable for their part. This is particularly helpful when it comes to product recall or investigations, as we can now see how the product has been stored, for how long, and under what conditions.

Ambrosus offer developers an open sourced protocol, with robust developer tools and modules that empower the community to build dApps, extensions and protocol upgrades upon the protocol. Compatibility with other Ethereum-based protocols, ensures seamless integration and functionality of Ambrosus dApps.

Its a brilliant use of the technology that when implemented will aid in the development of the global economy. There's a ton more detailed info on their website if interested: https://ambrosus.com

A great new exchange and trading website that's helped me in more ways than one is Covesting. 

You can securely exchange BTC with other digital currencies, as well as withdrawing and depositing USD, EUR & GBP instantly, no problem.

It's a neat and really easy to use tool for everything crypto and trading related. They provide a "Crypto Intelligence" area (https://ci.covesting.io/) with the latest news, trade techniques and ideas by experienced traders, educational resources, technical analysis lessons, etc.  It's like Binance in the way it has its own token (COV token used to facilitate fees and success profit payments), but Covesting will buy back and burn.  Where 50% of the fees generated by the platform will be used to buy the COV tokens and burn continuously i.e. these tokens will be locked in a smart contract and can never be released which helps in reducing the token supply and increase the value of COV token.

As an experienced trader you can gain extra profit from your trades by allowing other less experienced traders to copy you, adding a sweet 18% to your profit.  Anyone can share their trades too, obviously people will follow you based on your success rate.  The success fee is only taken from the person copying, if the trade was of course successful.  Another way users can profit is simply by referring their friends to the platform, to then receive up to 40% of their friends fees...forever.

Covesting has all the features you expect from the leading exchanges, just with the highest standard of security, functionality and the most technologically advanced tools in the industry.

It is currently in its Beta Version phase, and due to officially launch soon in this Q3. I really feel this will be one of the "greats" in the industry once they go live.

Agreed! I think its an awesome project, something I can see being popular even with mainstream audience and general population, which is tough crowd to crack! Hopefully they continue to build traction. 

The fact that they offer the ability to crowdsource security deposits, and the token holders make back interest is ingenious. I'm looking forward to participating as a micro-lender with this feature, as the project progresses. 

I too participated in the token sale and despite the bearish market and shakey start I'm confident they will come out on top. Looking forward to another positive announcement on the 20th, might be taking the day off work haha
