What Would You Buy? Funcoin or Stellar Lumens?

I have an honest question, what would you invest in? Funcoin or Stellar Lumens? For me, I love both of these two projects. 

I like Stellar because of their relationship with IBM and they give free Stellars to Bitcoin holders which is cool.

I like Funcoin because if there is anyone who is going to build an actual crytpo casino, it is going to be them.

I am looking to invest into one of these, but I am having a problem deciding.

The crypto world is growing fast and there are a few great companies working to bring some exciting new things to the space. Most of the ICOs will fail over time, but a few will win out and those that can get in real early will make a killing. 

I think that one of these two or both might survive to see a profitable world on the blockchain. So which one?

So which one would you invest in and why? Would you stay away from both? Let me know in the comments.

I really appreciate you reading and replying. Thank you.

You are so right!! I have been going to https://coinmarketcap.com/ and looking through the top 100 coins. Price of the coin obviously makes a difference on whether I can purchase or not (interest), but when I want more info, I go on each individual coin's website.

From my research today, I chose to invest some money into Stellar Lumens - XLM. Looking at their About page https://www.stellar.org/developers/ I see some BIG names. CEO of Stripe, Founder of Wordpress, Founder of AngelList along with IBM. These are some big(ger) tech companies that already have a head start.

What really got me interested was their message of "access to low-cost financial services to fight poverty and maximize individual potential" with helping poor countries be able to have a stable way to conduct business in order to buy and sell goods.

These are great read about Stellar.

I also invested into Decentraland - MANA. https://decentraland.org/
"Decentraland is a virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Users can create, experience, and monetize content and applications." Talk about online VR shopping malls, VR gambling through the blockchain, Carnivals, etc etc.

I read through their blogs, their twitter posts, research their history. Take a few things into account. World of Warcraft is HUGE as is in-game buying. So I figure these guys are way ahead of the curve, so I want to support them.

As far as funcoin, as soon as I logged in it said:
"We’ve detected, that you are entering funcoin.io from the US IP address or you hold the US passport. Unfortunately, the FunCoin.io network does not support the US users. " That automatically would deter me. Obviously there could be a possibility with this coin/company, but as someone has mentioned, with the legality of gambling, and so many other questions about them succeeding, I would not invest in Funcoin.

Great luck to you! We are living in a wild and amazing timeline! So many cool blockchain innovations happening.

1st. you got a new follower. Nice to meet you.
2nd, I love Stellar too and have some and think you are right about picking them over fun. You make some great points and I've read a lot of what you mentioned.
I am interested in decentraland. Where did you buy? I wrote a steemit blog about them 4 months ago and have been watching their progress. I just found it too complicated to get their coins. Where did you buy?

I apologize for taking so long to respond!

I bought them on the exchange https://bittrex.com/

Thank you so much for your kind words, and the follow.

Decentraland is definitely going places, lots of partnerships and cool things happening. I have an account with Coinbase which is tied to my checkings bank account, so I bought some btc and ltc and transferred them to the exchange to buy MANA.

I like Funcoin because if there is anyone who is going to build an actual crytpo casino

Not a choice I would make.

  1. Fed's and gambling and rules and regulations
  2. Fed's and crypto
  3. Why chance mixing the two?

I like Stellar because of their relationship with IBM and they give free Stellars to Bitcoin holders which is cool.

A choice I might make

  1. IBM Tech
  2. Crypto Tech
  3. A good mix?

But that is from a non tech, non crypto, non investing, type person.

Great feedback and perspective. Thank you. I agree about the first one, but I don't have to use the casino, it can be built in Europe for all I care. But the restrictions on the coin might be realistic. I have some stellar, but thinking about more. Thanks for the input.

Personally i do not like investing on such.
I love going for those that have really survived. Is still pretty wise to invest on these but you gonna go through some basic research about the personnel behind them before you can gracefully invest.
So the decision is all yours @walkingkeys

Thanks for the great feedback. I've been investing in the main coins, btc, eth, ltc, and such, but looking to put a few bucks behind something that is at a low price point where I could get a decent amount and hold until it makes money or folds. Trying to diversify some profit. I agree, learning the team behind them is very important. I have studied both and both are pretty solid with the slight edge to Stellar.

non of them...go with EOS...and i personally recomend steem....

I have a ton of EOS and need to diversify a bit after this big boom. I love EOS too!

I've been hearing alot about stellar lumens lately. Keep meaning to look into it.

I've had some for a while and got more free with bitcoin over the summer and again in the fall. I hold both coins, but looking to invest in a low pricepoint coin. Check out Stellar, pretty interesting concept they have .
