If you've been following the news lately, you've probably seen the drama surrounding Bitcoin and the uncertainty of its outcome on the 1st of August 2017.

Bitcoin is set to implement some new features that are supposed to make it better and more stable, but for most people, a single coin costs just too much for them to make any good amount of profit. Fortunately, there are other very good altcoins available for everyone, regardless of their budget. Here are 3 of the most promising coins to keep your eye on:

1. PIVX

This coin has one of the best communities surrounding its development and support in the market right now. Its core focus is on blazing fast transactions and being 100% anonymous, meaning that nobody can trace your payments and you are in total control of your money.

It's also the first cryptocurrency to be implemented with a Point of Sales (POS), meaning you can buy things at a shop with PIVX that has a Pivit, which is like a credit card machine.

The community has an amazing vibe and is definitely a good coin to look into. Check it out at PIVX.org

2. Ethereum

One of the more valuable coins, Ethereum comes at number 2 both in this post and on the coin market in terms of trade.

Besides having a super cool name, Ethereum has a unique feature in that it is very useful when it comes to developing decentralized apps (known as "dapps"). It has a smart network that lets the currency get spent via "smart contracts", which allows someone to have an unprecedented amount of control over their money.

This prevents fraud and also allows the whole network to scale easily without concern. It also has a very large community behind it, have a look at Ethereum.org

3. Steem

And of course, our awesome crypto Steem :)

The Steemit community is just so friendly and has amazing quality, unlike any other social media site I've ever seen. It's like being with a group of really close friends that want to help and support you with everything you do, and give you advice on what not to do. The system is really well set up and is very stable, which promotes high quality content for everyone to enjoy.

The fantastic community, stability of the currency, and the encouragement to create awesome content makes Steem a formidable currency and one that puts up a very good competition!
