We've all played desert island before. Which three books, movies, people, etc... would you take with you if you were stuck on a deserted island. Today's twist included one of steemit's favorite topics: cryptocurrency.
If you could only choose five cryptocurrencies and the rest would cease to exist tomorrow, which five would you choose?
Here are my answers, add yours in the comments below!
Bitcoin
I went back and forth between Bitcoin and Ethereum, but ultimately landed on the granddaddy of them all. Continuity and all that.
Steem
This was a no-brainer, of course. Changing from a Facebook-driven world to a Steem-powered universe isn't easy, but once people realize the incentives to switch I think we'll start to see the exodus pick up.
Bitshares
Although it is kind of like asking a genie for more wishes, Bitshares' ability to create UIA's gives this new world some flexibility. Also, I'm a sucker for the graphene blockchain. Peerplays - the new graphene sibling on the block - just missed the cut here.
Gridcoin
With other cryptocurrencies out of the picture, think of all the excess computing power that would drive scientific research. The possibilities are quite literally endless. Also, the price of Gridcoin shot through the roof today (100%+), so a few people may agree with me.
VIVA
VIVA has a long way to go before becoming a world-changing currency, but the premise of universal basic income is there. If the details all get ironed out by the crownholders, the future is bright. VIVA is very different than traditional cryptocurrencies - it behaves a lot like fiat - but the reasoning is sound.
Honorable Mentions
ETH, DASH, LBRY, PPY
