5 Cryptocurrencies To Watch In 2018. (Not Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin)

In 2018 Cryptocurrency is growing, and getting harder to follow.

In this blog we will give you a quick summary of our live video stream on Digital Mindset, presented by IMR.

You will learn which alt coins that we are following going into the new year, and why we like these cryptocurrencies so much.

Also, we will go over the:

  • Market Cap
  • Total Coin Supply

For each alt coin that we love in 2018.

So without further ado...

Here are 5 Cryptocurrencies To Watch In 2018.

1) Iota (MIOTA) - Website - Whitepaper

Iota is trying to be a free transfer system, and they will do this with hardware.

What Iota is doing is they are working with hardware companies to build a chip that you will put into your phone/computer.

Once this chip is enabled, your device will now be blockchain enabled on the Iota network.(You're An Iota Miner)

After this is done, you will be able to transfer funds across the network for free.

Also, every person that joins the Iota network is an additional miner, therefore every transaction get's faster with each person that joins the network. (Unlike Most That Slow Down)

One more thing that we love about Iota is that they are specifically designing their coin to be protected against quantum computing.

This is great because we all know how important additional security is.

  • Market Cap: $10,524,524,645 USD
  • Total Supply: 2,779,530,283 MIOTA
  • Circulating Supply: 2,779,530,283 MIOTA
  • Price: 3.79+/-
  • Date Of Blog: Jan 10 2018

That's a quick summary of our thoughts about Iota, and why they are a great crytocurrency to watch in 2018.

And, on to the next coin! (Love Iota? Leave A Comment)

2) Cardano (ADA) - Website - Whitepaper

Cardano is a blockchain platform that is designed with a scientific approach.

Data, and information from great resources will be stored on the network, and paid for with ADA token.

Therefore giving you access to online courses, data, and other information that you could not necessarily get before Cardano.

Also, another reason that we love Cardano so much is because they have a great team/network behind them.

Which allows for confidence, and growth into the future.

  • Market Cap: $19,714,270,333 USD
  • Total Supply: 31,112,483,745 ADA
  • Circulating Supply: 25,927,070,538 ADA
  • Price: $0.760374+/-
  • Date Of Blog: Jan 10 2018

That was a brief summary of why we think Cardano (ADA) is a great alt coin to watch in 2018.

The next coin is Po.et, but if you have questions about Cardano, feel free to leave a comment!

3) Po.et (POE) - Website - Whitepaper

Po.et is blockchain platform that allows users to put content (Blogs, Videos, ETC.) on the poet network, therefore giving it a "digital signature".

This digital signature will allow the user to track their content, and get paid from their intellectual property based on shares, and others using the content.

Also, when you put your content onto the Po.et platform you will be protected against plagiarism, therefore you will finally own your content.

  • Market Cap: $419,515,757 USD
  • Total Supply: 3,141,592,653 POE
  • Circulating Supply: 2,196,601,583 POE
  • Price: $0.190984+/-
  • Date Of Blog: Jan 10 2018

With content creation becoming a huge industry, and people wanting more control, there will have to be a solution...

This is why we think Po.et is one of the 5 Cryptocurrencies To Watch In 2018.

4) Enjin Coin (ENJ) - Website - Whitepaper

Enjin coin is a gaming coin, and if you're a gamer, you're going to love this crypto.

Gamers know how much time, and energy you put into unlocking everything in your video games.

What Enjin coin is looking to do is to attach to the achievements you unlock in your games. For Example...

If you're playing Destiny, and you unlock one of the most rare guns in the game, that gun will hold a certain Enjin coin value.

Therefore you will now have a great way to track, trade, and show a true value for all of the achievements you unlock in the video games that you play.

This is huge, because before people say that you waste all of your time gaming, and your stacked game profiles are useless.

With Enjin coin, that is no longer the case!

  • Market Cap: $308,070,570 USD
  • Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 ENJ
  • Circulating Supply: 756,192,535 ENJ
  • Price: $0.407397+/-
  • Date Of Blog: Jan 10 2018

As gaming is rapidly becoming an accepted sport all over the world, we absolutely love this coin.

Let us know your thoughts about Enjin in the comments.

5) EOS (EOS) - Website - Whitepaper

Finally, the last of our 5 Cryptocurrencies To Watch In 2018, and it's an exciting one.

EOS is a scalable, and decentralized infastructure for applications to be built with Ethereum.

Before, you could not build applications with Ethereum because it bogged down the network to much.

EOS is looking to make it so that when you are renting out hard drive space or processing power it's very cheap, and consistanlty running.

Also, since the infrastructure is decentralized, and always running, your information will never be able to be taken down. (Unless The Entire Network Goes Down).

For instance, if you're storing data on an Amazon server right now, if Amazon goes down, than your information is lost.

But if you were storing that information on the EOS platform your information is actually spread out across the entire network at all times.

Therefore your information can't be taken down from one source. (Which Is Amazing)

  • Market Cap: $6,094,703,534 USD
  • Max Supply: 1,000,000,000 EOS
  • Total Supply: 900,000,000 EOS
  • Circulating Supply: 596,858,729 EOS
  • Price: $9.15+/-
  • Date Of Blog: Jan 10 2018

Since information storage, and applications are becoming more and more relevant each day that is the reason that was love EOS so much.

Give us your thoughts on EOS in the comments!

* Bonus | Decentralized Architecture for a Democratic Internet (DADI) - Website - Whitepaper *

DADI is like the EOS in the fact that they are a platform that is going to allow web developers to go to DADi in order to develop applications on the blockchain.

This is an ERC-20 compatible token that is in the ICO stage right now, and we absolutely love it!

They are having a Pre-Sale on January 22nd, and a public sale on January 29th, so make sure you check them out.
