Verge pumped astronomically in December, gaining over 4000% when I recorded this video although having corrected some now given Bitcoin's recent dip. The privacy coin space as a whole has heated up and given this fact, I decided to take a look at the returns of the different coins in the space to see if there were any opportunities and decided to take a bet on NAV Coin.
Before we continue further, I would like to make a disclaimer. This is obviously, by nature, speculative and extremely risky. It is not investment advice and is simply a bet I am making with a small portion of my portfolio. In short, don't be an idiot and follow me blindly, especially given that this particular analysis is NOT fundamental at all. In other words, it's more akin to gambling than investing.
I pulled up 8 different cryptocurrencies to compare the 3 month and 1 month returns. The cryptocurrencies I used to represent the privacy coin space are (by market cap):
- Dash
- Monero
- Zcash
- Komodo
- PIVX
- Zcoin
- NAV Coin
- Zencash
At this point, it is relevant to clarify that these choices are only based on how the GENERAL public perceives these cryptocurrencies, meaning that political opinion on what is or isn't a privacy coin does not matter as none of this analysis is fundamental.
Over a 3 month period, using Dash & Monero as sort of the 'index' for privacy coins (it really doesn't matter since they are so close to one another), only two cryptocurrencies have underperformed: Zcash and NAV Coin. While Zcash has underperformed by more and hence has more opportunity to catch up, it is a much larger cryptocurrency and hence less likely to pump.
NAV Coin sits all the way at the bottom of the top 100 list on CoinMarketCap, even slightly lower than where Verge was just earlier this month. Given this, there is plenty of opportunity for it to pump. More importantly, I've been seeing more 'buzz' around NAV Coin given the success of Verge as people compare the two as if fundamentals actually matter. If we see the beginnings of a leg up for NAV, it might be all that is required for 'dumb' money to jump in as they view it as the next Verge.
If we switch to the 1 month returns, however, NAV has outperformed Monero / Dash. There are still two underperformers: Zencash and Zcash. While you could argue for Zencash given its small market cap, it is a top performer over 3 month period (given an earlier pump) and I hear about it much less than NAV, which while anecdotal, tends to be important when it comes to 'pump' coins.
As such, I will be taking a VERY small speculative position in NAV Coin. I want to reiterate this is not fundamental in nature and I am fully willing to lose ALL, not some, of my position. However, I see it as a net positive bet (or I wouldn't take it) so we'll see what happens.
Lastly, if it pumps because of this video, then all I will say is be careful because you're playing with fire. I do not know at this point what affect my channel can have on smaller cryptocurrencies. Altcoin Buzz seems to be able to cover smaller altcoins with limited impact, but his channel is centered on it while mine rarely does.
Be cautious and thank you for watching / reading.
Well done!

NAV is one of the speculative coins I am invested in as well and thought I would add my two "non-investment-advice two cents (both positives and negatives) on the coin.
Positives: (1):the team is fairly responsive and tracks well to its roadmap and provides frequent updates (https://navcoin.org/news/category/news-2/news/). (2): The NAV team just released an app on android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.navcoin.navpay), NavPay, that allows you to store and send NAV coins using its privacy payments technology (NavTech). I always like a coin that has some actual assets/IP backing up its valuation. (3): It's a Proof of Stake coin, and the team developed a raspberry pi device called NavPi (https://store.navcoin.org/product/navpi-stakebox/) that enables anyone to stake their coins and get an annual NAV coin award of 4% of their nav holdings; they also made a pretty good calculator (https://navtechservers.com/navtech-tools/staking-calculator/) to figure out how you would break even with this investment. It is not everyday that you see a privacy coin where your investment can naturally earn interest, albeit small, on its own like a savings account. (4) It's got a pretty strong community behind it that believes in the project and is willing to roll up its sleeves and help the development team. For instance, earlier this month, NAV was having some major issues due to the instability of its network, Bittrex alerted NAV team of the issue and the team was able to quickly come up with a security patch (https://navcoin.org/news/community-fund-testnet-security-updates/). But, it was done pretty haphazardly, and a lot of users (who were staking the coins using a NavPi) had issues updating their NavPi to the latest security patch. At the time, I felt that the NAV team didn't really have its act together but within a day, a member of the Nav Community was instrumental in helping the NAV team in writing a step-by-step guide (along with a script) of how to apply the security patch, which NAV was then able to publicize on its website (https://navtechservers.com/tutorials/navpi-4-1-0/). While this was originally going to be a negative (a crypto is only as strong as its development team), having a strong community to get through this challenge made me believe in the project more. (5): a community funding vote just passed (https://navcoin.org/news/community-fund-success/) where the NAV development team gets a certain percentage of staking award automatically (it equated to about 1 million dollars per year at NAV's then-current prices) to use on community projects, which could help improve the project's initiatives and marketing efforts.
Negatives: (1) the marketing effort seems pretty lacking right now. NavPay was released on December 20th, but a simple search on google news generated nothing about the project. In a crowded privacy coin field, having a good marketing team to promote the product is just as important as having a good product itself. (2) strong competition from Monero which has pretty strong word of mouth (i.e. 45 musicians, including mariah carey, accepting it for sales (https://www.projectcoralreef.com/) but news could also be a double-edged sword with a lot of news about malware surrounding Monero as well). (3): development team's ability to firefight (see positive (4) above).
Overall: While the team is still a bit in its nascency and need to work on things like marketing, like you said, there's just a natural buzz around privacy coins right now that the rising tide could float all boats. With a pretty strong community (willing to write script and help with the fixes) and an actual app in the market, I think it's got some potential to move up. While it's already experienced some significant gains this year (I took a really speculative investment back in early October when it was still around 80 cents), it could potentially still be a worthy gamble to multiple a few more times before 2018 is up (assuming the entire cryptomarket doesn't enter cryptofreeze due to issues around tether or bitconnect blowing up the sector). But again not investment advice, just some of my thoughts.
Lastly, just wanted to say love your videos on Youtube, really informative, and I love your sometimes "break from the norm" perspective that allows me to more critically and rationally think about cryptoinvesting. Keep it up!!

Well, if I may I would like to join the discussion. All 8 listed above are good privacy coins, but do not forget about Cloak coin as well, old good established project, just small comunity and dev it seems its one man show.
But in general if we speak about what coins to buy and hold, I would look at more early entering for better ROI. To buy dash today is 1 thing and to buy 1 year ago is another thing. I entered Dash at 40$ very nice profits. I am holder investor and boy its paying out for me.
And why not to pay your attention on some undervalued coins, which have high potential good technology and community support . Another great choice is DeepOnion - very good privacy coin, I think one of the best out there. There are a lot of new features is planned for 2018, so the price can easily make x2 or x3. Their dev team is getting larger. It's TOR network is one the strongest. They have largest number of TOR nodes so it is really untracable. They are developing new features like Deepvault online portal, Deepsend (similiar tech like Monero) and they are POS so anyone can profit while holding.
And, by the way, Onion still has running Airdrop campaign, which can boost your wallet by 5% weekly! Which, you must agree with me is always a nice bonus!
People are discovering it lately, Kucoin listed them and now Binance is annouced. Worth taking a look 4 sure.
Always DYOR I am not investment advisor, but it is clear shot from my standpoint of view.

I used to hold this coin back in September, but then sold them all. I definitely SALTy right now haha
Anyways, I've heard that the reason for the Verge pump is because of McAfee plus Verge's Wraith protocol. Maybe part of the reason for the initial pump was because Verge was very undervalued, and then the remainder of the pump was because other people FOMO'ed into XVG?
In effect, what you are doing is betting an all or nothing on NAV, because if NAV doesn't moon even 10x, it'll just languish in obscurity and NAV just becomes an opportunity cost at best. I'm guessing you are already invested in NAV, but did you ask yourself these three questions....
I know that was five questions, but final question if all the above is yes: will it moon and when?
P.S. This is probably an unfounded rumor, but I heard Verge was originally a fork off Dogecoin XD

Well be mindful of the fact that this particular analysis was not fundamental at all. As long as it isn't a scam coin (which it isn't in my opinion), it was included. This particular investment is based on two principles:
Combine those factors with the fact that NAV is getting more buzz than ZEN recently (from what I have seen) and it seems ripe for a pump. I don't care if McAfee shills for NAV - he doesn't need to for it to pump. It won't pump like Verge did without outside help like that, but I don't ever invest expecting a 40x return - that's insane.
The other two questions you asked are fundamental in nature. This is more of a trading bet than investing - as such, those two questions are irrelevant (aside from strengthening the bet). Yes, compared to the mean for the group, NAV is undervalued (although there are other metrics that are better measures of this, no one looks at them). I hope that makes sense of it for you - in short, it wouldn't matter if their development team didn't exist for this particular trade (hence why I call it a bet / gamble with some edge).
P.S: Don't be salty - it's only just now starting to recover in BTC value.

How about DentaCoin as the next big altcoin? It secures the dentistry industry using the power of the blockchain. Over the last 24 hours its value has soared by over 100%. It is now number 99 in the coinmarketcap charts by market cap - valued at a cool $164M.

Interesting video, very simple way to look at it but in this space sometimes under-complexing things can be the best way to look at general trends and possible opportunities for high returns. I think between now and tax time (April) that privacy coins are going to be especially "hot" coins in the market, so overall your outlook is likely quite accurate in general, and the fact that NAV is still at not only a low market cap, but also a low coin cost (few dollars) it many very well see some large moves in the coming months (as not only is privacy coins a big trend right now, but so is low cost coins (cents/dollars) like RDD, SC and alike). I also think you pointed it out correctly that these moves have less to do with logic or reality and more to do with trends and perception, which really is an important point to hit home with in this regard. I may chuck some pocket change at NAV at some point before the New Year for shits-and-giggles.

Kind of interesting that 'low cost' coins are even a thing given the fact price doesn't mean anything (market cap does), but it's a mistake made over and over in the stock market so I'm not surprised to see it happen in this space as well.

I think you kinda missed the point, verge pumped so much because of it's high coin count and low pricing, especially if you consider the possible jumps below 100 sat.That's why doge can also easily pumped to x3 x5 even x10 in a matter of days.
From what I'm observing(I may be biased) people are looking for PoS coins, becuse of all the "energy waste" posts on social platforms, news etc. So if I were to guess what kind of coin has that potential next, it'd be high coin count, low market cap, PoS coin.
Now being a random coin is also not enough, it needs to stand out, in some way or the other, for Verge it was the privacy, also as far as I'm hearing, their community is also quite friendly and supportive. Community what "pumped" raiblocks for example.
I bet my money on ECC, stuck on one exchange, under heavy development, active community.

NAV has been standing out lately - look around, there is buzz for it just because of the nonsense with Verge. I don't buy into the whole 'low cost' deal either - it shouldn't make a substantial difference as market cap is all that matters. In the end, it'll take the same level of capital to attract people in. Yes, we may see a few extra people in the same way a stock split causes more individuals to invest in a stock despite no value difference, but in reality it should have a limited effect.

Picking the next "Verge" feels like playing roulette. This kind of speculation is akin to looking at which numbers have hit recently, and then "logically" deducing that any number not already on the board somehow has a better chance of being selected, despite the odds not changing at all.
You are right to call it a speculative bet, but then in this market, what isn't? On that note, I'm thinking to do something similar to your privacy coin gamble, however, instead of focusing on privacy coins, I'm going to go with new coins (not ICOs since I'm in the US). Kind of like placing a bet on Black 24, come on 1:36 odds, daddy needs a lambo that he can take pictures in front of but never drive!

Love the video, was thinking exactly the same about NAV. Nothing technical but just a hunch. I had 10k Verge and sold it for LTC very cheap thinking it was a dead project and it went up like crazy. Hate myself now.
I also think NAV has the best chance of being the next verge among the ones you mention.
This is sort of a gamble but either way a small bet is fine i think. Also NAV is actually much more active in development and still very cheap considering so i hold this even for long term gain i think

How about LTC? Charlie Lee will implement privacy in LTC as well. It's already fast and inexpensive, yet it will be faster b/c he will be adding lightening network, smart contract, etc... The dude knows went to MIT for both undergrad and masters, was part of BTC since almost day 1, created LTC and now about to do something crazy with Facebook.

I personally think LTC is going to do some amazing things in 2018 and may very well cement itself as not only one of the most dominant use-case coins but also one of the top market cap coins (potentially overtaking BTC and ETH as the top market cap spot). I know most people don't believe that, but they will likely change their tune once some of the upcoming updates are released (starting with MAST), and a wide range of major partnerships are announced.

Community doesn't generally consider LTC to be a privacy coin. Ethereum is working on privacy too, but will likely never be considered private either. The ones I selected here are generally accepted as privacy coins (even if you can debate them one way or another).

Hi @cryptovestor I've watched the video - some really good analyses I too believe there is more potential in upcoming coins rather then the "established" ones we see on top of the marketcap. In my portfolio I also have DeepOnion - fairly new TOR network based privacy coin, with really good roadmap that will bring some interesting features for future growth (i'm big fan of smart contracts that are coming later next year) In the last 30 days the price went up 300%. I would love to hear your view on it. I will be looking for it in your next video ;)

I agree about growth in smaller and newer crypto's, it is slightly higher risk, but the rewards are without a doubt much more exciting. I have been watching the Privacy coins soar over the past weeks: Verge, Zcoin, Zoin, DeepOnion, etc and it looks like DeepOnion has gone another 40% today alone.
Very exciting times, I agree on @cryptovestor picking a privacy coin, but I am personally taking a bit more risk and going for the ones which can go 1000% or more like you, there are so many with so much potential.

Why is there such a big push for privacy coins all of a sudden? Especially Verge? While some of these coins make some sense others that have been pumping seem to be out of nowhere.

Electroneum being a Monero codebase clone with the crytonight mining algorithm is a very solid approach. Once the wallet issues are ironed out, ETN will fly.

I use Bittrex, but apparently they aren't accepting new registrations so likely Binance is second best bet (though they don't have NAV Coin). I don't trust Binance as much as Bittrex, although I've used them before if there is a cryptocurrency unique to their exchange. So basically... Bittrex & Binance.

Would you consider what's been going on the past couple of days as continuation of the market correction that started earlier and if so, would you say that this correction is now more or less healthy?

I also had my eye on NAV independent of your post today, so I would say there is something organically brewing there. The time is right for privacy given the recent corporate and political positions on abusing any rights to privacy, and people want to see work to ensure those rights using technological protections.

Just one of the many in twittersphere. Saw bc cryptogat retested. Here's the reddit link.https://amp.reddit.com/r/ZClassic/comments/7kt1ge/call_for_bitcoin_private_fork_volunteers/?__twitter_impression=true
" However, it is clear that "Bitcoin Private" is the most favored "brand", which would create the only fair, no-premine, no founder reward, ZK-Snark technology privacy based coin that all Bitcoin holders have access to use."

Watched about five of your videos and am impressed. You appear to have been doing this since at least 2013 and I was wondering how you learned to do trend market analysis.

That's kind of you. You just learn from 'doing.' My analysis on cryptocurrencies is much simpler than it is for stocks. Although I want to get back to doing fundamental analysis at some point as it is a more 'firm' ground to stand on.

I guess what I am asking is what books would be good to read to learn the skill? I thumbed through several titles, but saw nothing that shows anything on the 'head and shoulders' as well as how you determine the trend lines.
Do you run a Mac or Windows?

Thanks for this.... I really like the concept of the privacy coins, and I think they'll always be popular (and nothing drives a market like popularity). Nav wasn't on my radar at all... but I've had a quick look and now also made a very small purchase. If it fails, that's fine, happy to hold this tiny bag for the long haul. Great article!

Im curious about what you think of real estate. Do you think it is still a valid investment vehicle worth learning about in today's market or does cryptocurrency have greater potential. Do you only deal in crypto or do you diversify? Do you invest in any precious metals? I think people would like to see your opinion in comments or a video. Thanks.

I really like your style! It’s clean, precise and very informative. I am wondering, do you see the “death” of BTC anywhere in the near future (1-2 years)? And by that i mean the replacement of BTC by another cryptocurrency, which fulfills it’s purpose much better. I feel like BTC is getting old and heavy. What are your thoughts?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I doubt it - death of Bitcoin in near future would be death of most altcoins too. Cryptocurrencies need Bitcoin. In the long-term? It's more difficult to say. Depends on how much gridlock there is in the dysfunctional family that comprises the Bitcoin network:

I have placed my bet on zencash. The most important thing, market cap being the lowest of all is already mentioned. But the real brilliance of zen's economical design is hidden in its secure node system I believe. Once the price starts picking up, more and more people will want to hold zen to make more zen. The total issuance is about the same as zcash but with this hostage system you'd get much less coins exposed to the market which means you get much more acceleration in price reaction. My bet is the market cap of zen will get close to zcash some time in 2018. Rob Viglione and his team do not look like any other money grabbing shitcoin developers. So I don't worry much about losing big time with zen. Low risk, high return. I call this perfect opportunity.

excellent video. the problem in crypto is that even though an older more established coin should be a safer bet,people always jump on the latest thing out. verge i fear has been damaged by all the fud about mcaffee being a paid shill.thats a shame of course as it's a great coin. i am a fan of privacy coins as i see these becoming more and more popular as more regulation comes in. i have some privacy coins in my portfolio but by far the best one i think is Deeponion. it has the potential to be the best one out there. i know that other coins are there and more established but so far the development and the future plans of deeponion make it a top pick for some investment right now. hold it long term and i'm sure you'll be a holder of the top privacy coin going

It seems entirely possible I am the “dumb money” you speak of. I’ve been injecting some funds into this crytpo thing for a couple of months. The names Cardano, Miota, Verge, Vertcoin.... And so on, just roll off the tongue now. But I still don’t get it. Ask me what Miota does that’s so great and my explanation will start and finish with Tangle Ledger. I couldn’t elaborate any further than that. But I see which way the wind is blowing. It ain’t so dumb to invest accordingly. Sentiment is everything in this market it seems.
Anyway, on a different topic. Have you kept up to date with Salt? Their website suggests they’ll launch their lending platform in Q4 of this year, but I haven’t seen any news or specific dates in relation to that. I’ve seen it’s price slowly but steadily rise. Do you have any expectations what the immediate future holds for Salt as a company and it’s price action?

@cyptovestor what do you think of todays run up on #Bitcoin? Seems unstably high again. I think it should be at $13k-15kmax levels. Do you think there could be a short term correction again? Is it possible to see another $11,500 dip on coinbase or Sub $12k soon? The reason why I'm asking is because I have an IRA account I need to put into the market before the end of the year. It's difficult to buy on a dip when the markets reacting like this. Do you think it will continue upward before 1/1/2017?

Not giving up, but you’re late to the party if you only just bought. Might sky rocket even further, but there’d be no reason for it other than more people buying the hype. But that seems to be how much of the crypto market functions, so don’t sweat it.

What I do not understand is why bitcoin is so high in price when everything about it is either way overpriced or takes forever to send. While other alt coins are faster, and charge less to send.

Crypto(i)vester,
I would take another look at NavCoin. After seeing your video I did some research. There are a few things that bother me about the coin but number one is that it is an inflationary coin. I'm not sure if you're informed of that. The inflation is according to a staking reward. There was about 20% inflation in 2014, after that 10% in 2015, 2016-2017 (and the future) it was set to 5% per year. NavCoin started in 2014 with 50 million coins nowadays has a supply of 62 million. I'm really not to keen of such system, definitely when your in for a longer run. Maybe just for flipping but even then...

Hard to say - decent pump today, but other coins pumped as well (see Zcoin) so may be entirely unrelated.

Sorry but I am getting a little bit tired of the same old list, over and over again. When do people open their eyes and start looking for newer promising coins where they can ROI way more often on? Privacy is getting more and more important worldwide, so thats why you see a high increase of popularity in privacy based projects. Take DeepOnion and Sumokoin as an example; Sumokoin went up from 2 Euro to almost 9 Euro in the past 4 days or so (+350%) and DeepOnion went up from .46 to 6,39, in the past 7 weeks, which is again an increase of almost 1400%. Stop looking at the already known projects and focus on new promising ones instead. Next year DeepOnion will be launching their Deepsend feature which is masking TXID's, making transaction REALLY anonymous. That project is just half an year old but already has to offer more than some of the ones in this list if I am honest.

I think while we all missed Raiblocks (XRB) while were speculating about NAV. It's not a privacy coin but still... this market makes zero sense to me. Fundamentals go out of the window.
