I think once the bull run starts in a couple of months the best returns would come from lesser known, undervalued but promising coins with inherent values in their concept, team & road-map.

These are my future winners:-

1. PRL
2. Dragonchain - Blockchain by Disney
3. Vechain
5. Snovio

What are your picks.

Ethereum is yet the best investment for the long term, there is no doubt about it.

I think Litecoin is firstly more estabalished with new features being introduced along the way like the Pay feature in addition to better acceptability & recognition vis-a-vis NEO (as of now) and should touch $1000 in 2018 before NEO.

Whats your view...

Ethereum will touch $2500 by the end of this year

Its never late to buy a good potential coin. Every new high becomes a low of the future, take the example of Bitcoin or Ethereum. This is especially true if you are looking for the long term.

Agrello (DLT) is a coin with huge potential but is a slow mover because of low beta tracker. Its a coin that will eventually cross $2 by mid of this year & the $5 mark by next year.

Its definitely a coin that should be part of your long term portfolio, since they have an excellent concept, work in progress product & great team behind it. They have been working constantly though they are poor in Marketing & PR. Read their white paper & you will understand that its a concept that the future Blockchain & Ethereum contracts will have a definite need.

You just need patience to make good money in this.

I agree, we can add 3 more coins to the list (safely)

1. PRL
2. Alef
3. VLB (need to do more research here)

Thanks...

If you are really looking at quarterly dividends or payouts and investing for long term, then there is nothing better than TaaS at the moment, with 2 existing healthy payouts already made . In addition another one based on the same concept, that has just stated out is Astro.

Check them out.

In the last 1.5 years, the only exchange that has been consistent, trustworthy & reliable has been Bittrex.

You need to understand that any new financial or economic instrument or vehicle takes time before its is accepted by the governing bodies or general public. The same treatment is happening to Cryptos. It is something whose time is ripe and will eventually be a part of the system but before that there will be many ups & downs and the weak will run. It may take years but Cryptos are here to stay.

Read history, its always been the same for any new concept, before it is accepted.

Lets discuss, the relatively little known or not so popular coins, that are showing potential to become major league players in the future. I am jotting down 3 of my discoveries with brief descriptions of each coin, as to why I believe it will grow in strength:-

1. Jetcoin: Korean coin, investing in Sports (Football). I have been tracking this relatively unknown coin & have seen it grow in price & popularity. It has started sponsoring football matches in Korea along with other things. Can be a future gem.
2. TaaS: Among the first crypto funds that invests in Cryptocurrencies and pays dividend each quarter. It works like a mutual fund & in the last 6 months has performed well & paid good returns.
3. DBC (Deep Brain Chain): Nice concept, yet not in the front scene. Working on AI with a solid team.

I personally have faith that all the above coins will be goldmines in the next 2 years.

Whats your selection of hidden gems.

I told you guys, Bitcoin Cash is in for a great ride and will in the next 2 months cross $3500...

I had sent Ethereum to my Liqui exchange account, which has not been deposited in my Eth wallet, though it was a successful transfer as per Etherscan. I raised a query (#29601), but inspite of repeated reminder and waiting for more than 5 days, they have not deposited the same to my Eth wallet. Their support is sad....

In fact Ethereum is the only coin along with Bitcoin that has an established foundation and will survive all future crisis. More than 40 percent of the other coins are ERC20 & based on the Ethereum platform, holding testimony to its strength. If Cryptocurrencies survives, Ethereum will be among the few forerunners who hold the flag to its ultimate success.

There is a information in the corners that Bitcoin cash will goto a new height a touch near $4000very soon and may even the king. A lot of people are shifting from Bitcoin to Bitcoin cash.

It will touch $5 for sure in time, but if you can it would be better to average out, during a fall, bring your average price lower to around $2.

Indian Cryptocurrency committee head clarifies that cryptocurrency is not illegal in India

The Union Budget 2018 had something in store for the cryptocurrency startups and exchanges in the country.

Reiterating its earlier stand on cryptocurrency, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, in the Union Budget for 2018-19, said:

“…The Government does not consider crypto-currencies legal tender or coin and will take all measures to eliminate use of these crypto-assets in financing illegitimate activities or as part of the payment system. The Government will explore use of Blockchain technology proactively for ushering in digital economy.”

This statement, has resulted in much speculation on whether cryptocurrency has been banned, or what is the government’s legal position on it.


Ajeet Khurana, Head, Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Commitee of India
Ajeet Khurana, who recently took over as the Head of the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Committee of India (BACC), clears the air on the issue in conversation with YourStory:

YourStory: What do you think about the FM’s mention on cryptocurrency in the Budget? 

Ajeet Khurana: We are extremely happy that something like cryptocurrency found mention in the Budget. It only goes on to say that the impact it has is so widespread, and there is an understanding that it exists in a strong way.

However, on the take of it not being a legal tender, we completely agree with the government on its  position.

We understand the concern around the illicit use of cryptocurrency and have maintained this position. Cryptocurrency enterprises have been maintaining complete transparency through KYC and other procedures to reduce the illicit use of these assets.

YS: The FM stated that cryptocurrency is not a part of the ‘payment system’. What is your view on this?

AK: The payments system includes a lot of things like the settlement mechanism, and the banking system. In recent times, digital wallets and other payment mechanisms have been added to the entire scenario.

What the Finance Minister might be saying is that cryptocurrency is not considered to be a part of these payment systems. Similarly, gold is not part of a payment system, but people still barter assets like gold for goods, as long as both parties record the transaction. It is an asset barter transaction.

There is a little subjectivity on the matter. Can an individual swap cryptocurrency for another cryptocurrency?

We have to wait for clarification on what the Finance Minister meant when he mentioned payment system.

YS: What should the end-investor in cryptocurrency take from this announcement?

AK:  There has been no indication by the government that it is banning exchanges. Neither does it stop people from holding a cryptocurrency. It is just saying that the government doesn’t recognise cryptocurrency as money, which no country in the world does except Japan.

YS: We see a powerplay when it comes to banks pulling out from crypto exchanges in the country. Isn’t this hinting at something?

AK: We have had this discussion, and what we are sure of is that banks who have taken the action of not providing accounts or services to these exchanges have done it on their own will.  They haven’t been instructed by the RBI to do so, and the Central Bank hasn’t issued any circular in this regard.

Banks have the right to choose their customers. My take on the banks that have pulled out is that they haven’t thought of the future, and this is completely a knee-jerk reaction.

We admire banks who have gone on to take the risk in understanding this industry.

Over the past few months, we have seen there have been customer service issues.

Despite this, the interest towards cryptocurrencies remains, and the fresh number of account opening applications continue to grow.

YS: Since the government mentioned cryptocurrency, what can be expected from regulators and even the government now?   

AK: It is understandable that any government will face challenges to regulate this system. If not a proper policy framework, we can at least expect the government to release a policy framework around cryptocurrencies this year.

Ripple will touch $5 by the mid of 2018 but will not outrun Ethereum, which will in accordance rise and keep the number 2 slot. As an investment both are good but in the short term the profits of Ripple will be comparatively higher.
