The number of crypto-currency projects is growing rapidly every day. But how to choose those that really can make a profit? In this article, 5 crypto-currencies are collected, to which everyone predicts a good future.
- Ripple (XRP)
In December 2017 - January 2018, the price of crypto currency for cheap international transfers Ripple (XRP) soared from $ 0.2 per share to $ 3.8. In 2017, the rate of Ripla grew by 3,803%, after which the coin was firmly entrenched in the top three "crypts" with the highest market capitalization. During the current year, analysts are confidently predicting further growth - up to $ 10 and even $ 100.
In comparison with ETH and BTC, RIPPLE provides a higher transaction speed
- Ethereum (ETH)
Crypto currency No. 2 in the world, cooler only bitcoin. The author is "our man", a developer born in Russia (but living in Canada) Vitalik Buterin. It is expensive, growing fast - on December 31, 2017, "Efirium" cost $ 750, on January 10, 2018 the price soared to $ 1,300. What is there in this project that attracts users so much?
Ether is expensive - and it can be "mined" (extracted) on video cards! In 2016 and 2017, the "miners" of the etherium literally bathed in gold.
Ethereum has smart contracts - a technology that authoritative The Economist magazine "a new era in financial" technologies. What it is? A smart contract is a programmable contract, for careful observance of which not people watch, but two objective arbitrators - the virtual machine of the Etherium and the technology of blockades. Where can it be applied? Wherever people need to agree on something. For example, you want to safely sell something on Avito to a person from another city. A smart contract is created, and the person will not receive your item until he transfers the money. Poor scammers, how they will be planting people, they will still have to find a normal job, probably :).
- Zash (ZEC)
- this is the first truly anonymous crypto currency in the world, the best alternative to bitcoin according to the version of Edward Snowden himself and a very promising direction for mining in 2018. Now - about everything in order:
ZCash is the only altkome designed and implemented by specialists and scientists in the field of cryptography. It gives the user absolute confidentiality - and therefore donations to the ZEC take fighters with world governments from WikiLeaks Julian Assange. Yes that there - about ZCash even the creator of the competing crypto currency Ethereum Vitalik Buterin responds favorably!
Why?
First, ZCash, unlike Bitcoin, allows users, at will, not to upload data on the amount of payment to ZEC, as well as their sender and recipient, to the public block. So, there was some kind of transaction, but who knows what to send to whom - the devil knows. Zcash coins also do not store a transaction history. As a result, information about this is only among the participants in the transaction. So the third person at all desire will be able to track the transaction in Bitcoin (the security services have already learned how to do this), but not in the ZEC.
Secondly, ZCash offers at first glance an incredible thing - it mathematically proves to the whole community that the transaction without any data about it (the addresses of the owners' wallets, the transfer amount) did take place. And at the same time he does not report any data to the unit! For this, the really unique protocol zk-SNARK, developed by the creators of crypto-currency on the basis of the so-called. "Evidence with zero disclosure." Here's how it works:
- Lumen / XLM (Stellar)
This is the "younger brother" and the "right" version of Ripple!
Crypto currency Lumen (XLM) and blocking protocol Stellar was invented by Jed McCaleb - a figure in the industry of crypto currency is almost legendary. Why? First, it was Jed who created the first popular exchange Mt Gox crypto currency (accounting for up to 70% of the world's Bitcoin operations in the early 10s). His second cryptoproject was ... our old friend Ripple! But McCaleb left the company when he quarreled with a partner and in addition realized that the XRP had become a coin "sender" of banks and governments around the world. Burned, burned - and launched the "correct Ripple" under the name "Stellar".
How is Stellar better than Ripple?
Improved protocol. In 2014, when Stellar was working on the Ripple blockade, she had a so-called. "Network crash". The key element of the protocol was guilty - the mechanism of consensus, it turned out to be a technology with innate vulnerabilities. McCaleb has developed a new, more perfect consensus mechanism - the "integrated Byzantine Treaty".
System of simple smart contracts. Ethereum made a bid for complex smart contracts - and became a victim of hackers. Therefore, the developers of the Stellar protocol deliberately made the smarts simple - so as not to generate errors and not give hackers a chance to break into the system.
Like Ripple, Stellar offers instant money transfers (3-5 seconds) with a negligible commission - 100,000 XLM translations cost ... 1 cent!
It is inexpensive - $ 0.64 for one lumen.
- ADA (blockade of Cardano)
But "Adochka" is a whole "scientific" crypto currency! She pretty surprised the world with the speed of growth in the period 2017-2018 - in mid-December, the ADA cost 20 cents, in early January - almost 80. What's the secret?
"Cardano" created an international consortium of researchers crypto currency. The "learned men" from the USA, Scotland and Greece studied the mountain of literature, revealed the shortcomings of the existing "crypt" and offered their own version of the blocking currency for remittances with the maximum level of security and confidentiality for the participants in the transaction. By the way, a very big contribution to the development of Cardano was made and brought by programmers from the countries of the former USSR.
More advantages of Cardano:
The project manager Charles Hoskinson stood at the origins of the second most popular (and market capitalized, of course) crypto currency, Ethereum, in 2013-14 he even headed the company. In other words, ADA / Cardano is leading a very strong and successful industry manager.
Third-generation blocking technology - with the abandonment of mining (expensive and long) in favor of steak (cheap and fast), the ability to modify the platform through soft-forks (Bitcoin and Ethereum with changes have to create new variants-forks)
ADA is already popular in Japan - the currency is called "Japanese Ethereum", because during the ICO Cardano 95% of the coins were bought by the risky guys from the Land of the Rising Sun.
That's about to happen the most important thing: in Japan will become available debit card with instant ADA exchange for fiatnye (usual, in our case - yen) currency and the first 5 ATMs. You feel? It's already Cardano's application to become a part of our daily life!
It's easy to buy - right now the ADA costs only $ 0.8 per piece.
