2018, will be the year of the securities tokens (search: tZERO). Securities must be registered, as they promise profits with price increase or dividends that result to net positive profit.

The best strategy

Hold bitcoin and Ethereum in a hard wallet, and leave for 2 to 10 years (2018 to 2028).
In a coming crash invest in litecoin (lightening network coin); dash, monero, and zcash (anonymous coins). Do not invest in ripple because the banking network does not need it.

Utility and functionality

Early investor at 2010-2011, he came up with functionality model, today known as utility. We thought about the fact to use GAS to send Ether, which was analogized to the Utility Token

2018 strategy and themes

Consumer Friendly Onboarding

Going to see consumer friendly on trading crypto assets; storage as wallets; ability to take fiat to turn into cryptos.

Security Tokens

Shift from utility tokens to security tokens. Utility tokens are more like products, while security token is a traditional security token. But instead of having IPOs, stocks or bonds certificates; these are tokens.
As utility tokens are limited in use, and security tokens are unlimited; and anticipating a securities token platform like tZERO comes online: we are going to see, in 24 months, double digit billion dollar offerings of 10 to 20 to 30 billion dollar range, with name brands from NASDAQ and NYSC. Where, they delist from traditional stock or bond certificates to list as tokens.

tZERO

tzero is the game changer. There are lots of securities in the pipeline waiting to be logged to the system, including ICO tokens (either securities or hiding as utilities).
Institutions (hedge funds, mutual funds, audit managers, family offices) are still reluctant to come in the crypto market because they find it difficult to invest in utility tokens. They want securities because they have regulatory authorities.

Recommendation Buy

To hold for 3 to 4 years: bitcoin, Ethereum, rootstock (rsk), storm token (a gamification app with a good business model, StormX; https://stormtoken.com ; using Ethereum blockchain), and tzero (long term).

Weiss Rating

Gavin Magor, director of ratings.
Cryptocurrency ratings are subject to fundamental and technology ratings which determine the value.
Weiss seek guidance in economists and mathematicians etc.
What are the future developments?

Bitcoin

Risk and reward

it is volatile. Balance in potential to reward to risk. Over a period of time, you get reasonable returns based on the risk.

Fundamental

Excellent, used by a lot of people; been accepted by the large market penetration; it is scalable, and good network security.

Cardano

Scored a B because once publicly out, you will be looked at, examined: and, cardano is viewed positively

Ethereum

B-. The tech is superior to bitcoin. No easy access unless you use ethereum’s coding. Looking at the contract, will be a massive decider to its road map.
