As an ordinary person, I have gone through many failures and regrets in my life until 2012. Luckily, failures turned into great lessons, and I started to make great decisions since 2013. One is start investing in CryptoCurrency.
If you are long-term investor like me, my recommendation is to ask 2 questions.
Q1. Why will people use it?
Q2. What is the monetary benefit for coin holders when people use it?
Q3. If answer is none for question 2, then why will demand go up?
If there is good answer to the questions, then investing in a long-term might make sense and may have better chance than others. However, you still need to do your own research on potential competitors.
I will share my (subjective) answer for my current investments. EOS and TENX.
EOS [Why did I invest in EOS?]
Q1. Yes, since EOS technical specifications are far superior then competitors, dapps are more likely to build on top of EOS when EOS main network launches. Also, end user may like to use dapps that are using EOS network because they offer zero transaction fee.
Q2. None.
Q3. EOS coins guarantee the utility/network capacity proportion to their holding portion. This will make dapp companies to acquire more EOS coins which will increase the demand.
TENX
Q1. Yes. TENX made a credit card where you can use your coins to purchase goods. TENX has solved the main problem CryptoCurrency had for long time - usability.
Q2. 0.5% of the transaction fees will go to coin holders.
Please note this is my personal opinions. I welcome readers to leave comments not only asking questions but also providing other opinions to me and to all readers.
