zero APM - Blockchains and Cryptos to look out for in 2018 and why 🖳
Here are a couple of projects and things for you guys to look out for (if you aren't already) that I've gleaned from surfing the Blockchain. Tried to sort them into categories for easier visualisation. May they be of use to you!
Finance:
- Bitcoin BTC - Digital Gold standard
- Litecoin LTC - Faster Bitcoin (the silver standard)
- Ethereum ETH - Programmable Contracts and Money/GPU
- Bytecoin BCN - privacy focused cryptocurrency
- BitShares BTS - Decentralised exchange
- NEO - Chinese-market Ethereum
- TRON TRX - In-app purchases
- ETH Lend LEND - Peer 2 Peer Loans
- Waves - Decentralised Exchange and Crowdfunding
Utilities:
- IOTA - Internet-of-things payments
- Walton - Internet of Things blockchain
- Santiment Network Token SAN - Cryptocurrency trading data feeds
- Power Ledger POWR - Airbnb for electricity
Social:
- Steem - Social Media Blockchain
- Sola - Social Media Blockchain
- Kin - Chat community rewards
Data:
- MaidSafeCoin - Rent disk space
- Dent - Mobile Data marketplace
- Golem GNT - Rent other peoples computers
- EOS - Decentralised applications on WebAssembly
- Lisk - Decentralised applications in JavaScript
- Siacoin SC - Rent disk space
- Stratis STRAT - Decentralised applications in C#
Ledger:
- Ark - Blockchain Switchboard
- ICON - Blockchain Networks
- Po.et POE - Blockchain Copyright
Altpocket.io suggestions:
- Raiblocks (XRB), totally fee-less and near-instant transfers
- SONM - Rent other peoples computers/cloud processing
- NAV Coin - decentralized search engine
Focus is on decentralisation. I think the junction of renewable energies / internet-of-things and a power ledger could be very interesting. I'm gonna make an effort to keep researching into 2nd and 3rd generation blockchains and their applications and see what we can find! Also Ai development and Machine Learning junctions are something to watch out for. What about Tokenised 3d printing? Exciting times ahead! Remember I am by no means an expert so I could be talking out of my butt but I do enjoy this topic a lot! :)
Let me know what you guys think!

I don't have the faintest clue what half of these things are, but hey! now I have a bunch of stuff to research! :D
Always good to learn new things.
You see since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009 the Blockchains themselved have evolved/been improved. If BTC is a "1st Generation" Blockchain then Ethereum is a second generation blockchain as it already allows for smarter applications (like smart contracts in the ETH case). Now we are already moving towards the third generation which includes projects like Cardano, Aion or Iota! You have your work cut out for you :)
Here's a simple video which explains it quite well:
oh wow thanks!
This post is totally informative. Keep it up. @zeroooc.
Thanks for the encouragement :)
I'll see what I can come up with!
Agree with your choices. To the social I would probably add PROPS. It will be released in next month . PROPS will cover life broadcasting for 13-25 age group and seeded on Younow platform. I am honestly thinking that it become very popular within teens( this point of view based on my youtube experience nothing more).
Ah very interesting!
I also forgot to add LBRY (LBC). It's an interesting "blockchain" youtube/library hybrid.
I will need to check out LBRY. Sound ivnterestig
Thanks for the helpful!! 👍😎
Glad you like it! Keep up the hard work ^^

I find this post very helpful
Happy to guide you in your quest! Thank you :)
In my sometimes futile attempt to wrap my head around the wide world of crypto this list is fantastic and ever so helpful! Thank you for making a clear list of what each crypto is oriented toward. If you decide to expand the list I won't object 😀. Thanks!
You are welcome. I'll try and come up with some more useful compilations like this one. Don't worry, it's a deep rabbit hole indeed but attempts to learn are never futile!
