The first week of the year was amazing for almost everyone holding any crypto, but what will the second week bring us?
First I must say, I'm not a financial advisor and predicting crypto is like predicting what Donald Trump will tweet about. Either way here are my predictions for this coming week. (1/8-1/14) On Crypto... not President Trump's tweets.

Recap of last week:
If you look at the 7 day column on the right, you will see that almost everything was up last week. That is a good thing.
The only one in the top 25 that was down for the week was Verge. Some of that has to do with the incredible run it had going into the new year and the disappointment with the Wraith Protocol launch.
Everything else was up. Bitcoin only saw modest gains last week... lol 15%. The fact that we say modest gains at 15% really shows the volatility of this market. If a stock gained 15% in a week, investors would be doing backflips.
This coming week, I feel we will still have some gains and the market will continue to go up. Soon though, maybe not this week, there will be another big sell-off.
Top Picks For This Week:
1. IOTA - This is one project that could really make an impact in the blockchain space. Although speculation and new money is mostly driving the market, IOTA has remained pretty flat the last two weeks. I expect IOTA to have some nice gains this week. I doubt it will double, but it should close out the week around $6. I think this is a pretty safe bet this week.
2. ReddCoin - ReddCoin wants to integrate with social media platforms and use a tipping system of micro-transactions. I think it will continue to have another good week because it is very inexpensive, $.02, and it is a project that new people can understand. It isn't complex like another pick on my list, Aragon. I think it could go as high as $.07 by the end of next week. It will be volatile, but this is one that could really perform well. This past week Zuck at Facebook said he was getting into crypto and if they integrate ReddCoin, who knows how high this thing could go.
3. Aragon - This is one project that is going to really take off. It is active and working to provide the world with more efficient organizationals structures using the blockchain. Kinda complicated, but it could really become something great in the future. I believe in this project. It isn't high on many people's radar but it has a very small supply compared to the first two on the list. A supply that can be eaten up pretty quick with so much money coming into the market. I think Aragon could see $11 by the end of next week.
Those are my top three picks and predictions. Let me know what you think.
