Top 10 Cryptocurrencies I'm Excited About For 2018!
DGD - Digix Dao is basically a stake in a cryptocurrency that offers the ability to purchase, store, and digitally transfer Gold right on the blockchain.
Now this "blockchain gold" will be DGX, which 1 DGX represents 1 gram of "99.99% LBMA" gold according to their website Digix.global
By holding DGD (in the correct wallet) you earn off the fees for DGX transactions, and I talked more about it 9 months ago here, and I am really excited now that we are close to the official launch date, which is supposed to be soon!
LNK - Ethereum Link is a platform that tokenizes Silver on the blockchain!
Also according to their website Ethereum.link just like with DGD, users that hold LNK tokens earn .999 Silver!!
EOS - EOS as most of us may already know was created by Dan Larimer who also created Bitshares and STEEM!
Now with EOS still in it's ICO phase, it claims to be "The Most Powerful Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications" which if you watch Dan's original video covering this seems absolutely possible with the parallel scaling technology!
So this is definitely something I think most of us are excited about in 2018!!
STEEM - STEEM is obviously the reason we are all here on Steemit with great projects like d.tube, dlive.io, dsound.audio, and all of the rest of the other great apps being built on STEEM!
But there is also something else to be excited besides Steemit, and that's SMT's (Smart Media Tokens)!!
These were planned to be released soon, but are still being perfected and have not had an "official" launch date yet.
ZEC - Zcash is a fork of Bitcoin with an extra layer of shielded protection, and is known as the most private technology with a team of academic cryptographers!
Now even though we are still within the first 4 years of the founders fee it is still one of the top cryptos for private transactions!
With the potential for shielded transcations growing, especially in commercial use the benefits for companies that may need private, and secure transactions it is only going to grow as more companies adopt blockchain and cryptocurrency.
BTCP - Bitcoin Private is going to be a dual fork of Bitcoin AND Zclassic, which will be the same as Zcash only without the founders fee.
Now there is a snapshot date of February 28, 2018 for the fork and everyone holding BTC or ZCL will receive 1:1 BTCP a few days after!
So as mentioned above with the growing need for private transactions I think there is a huge market for private coins, and I'm excited to see this one launch soon!!
NXS - Nexus is "The World’s First Three Dimensional Blockchain" according to their website Nexusearth.com which they state:
Using a unique implementation of three consensus channels, Nexus transforms the blockchain into a 3D process called the 3 dimensional chain. By adapting to transaction volume, using trust to secure the network, and weighting transactions to determine the most efficient use of resources..
They also are creating a distributed satellite and ground based mesh network to enable global access to the Nexus blockchain, which is great to see a project creating their own network outside of the system, and is a reason why I am excited about Nexus!
LBRY - LBRY is "A free, open, and community-run digital marketplace."
Basically any digital content can be bought, sold, and rented on the LBRY marketplace!
CYDER - Cyder is a project that is making an announcement next month about a huge partnership they have for a blockchain education project!
So with so little people that know or even understand blockchain or cryptocurrency.. I think any crypto education is exciting and great for the community!!
IOTA - IOTA is for the "Internet-Of-Things" which is basically everything.. From a smart fridge to a smart mirror, and everything in between!
Our homes and even worlds are becoming more connected with advanced technology, and with IOTA they have a platform that is scalable and modular for any and ALL things that will be connected in and out of the home!
Conclusion
Now these are just the ones I have followed and am most excited about, but I know there are so many great projects that I have not listed!
So please feel free to let us know about any that you may know of and thanks for checking this out!!
