CryptoTurtle January 2018 HODL List
The January HODL list is finally here!
Hey everyone. Blury here again.
So... As many of the people in the channel already know, I started creating HODL lists of coins I believe will raise in value over the month. Here we go:

So lets start with the biggest Parts of the Portfolio (the high Volume coins)
Would be Stellar Lumens (XLM).
They will have a Meetup on the 8th of January in Singapore which will hopefully attract new customers and maybe even give some annoucements for future updates within January. It's a pretty solid project and just went above NEM in terms of market capitalization.Would be Cardano (ADA).
I've said it pretty often but ADA is THE Blockchain of the future and if you didn't hold a good portion of it, try to get it in a dip. (5000 sats). If it doesn't happen in January but you're afraid to miss out then get it now. You may need to hold longer though as you will have to live with the potential drop to 5000 sats. They will also update their roadmap on the 5th of January which will potentially boost the Volume even more. Keep your stoploss tight that day because the market sometimes goes crazy. :)
Now some smaller volume ones. (Try to accumulate if you have a big Portfolio. Do not buy at once!)
Would be Steem.
Steem is a Token used by Steemit which is a social media blog platform that pays you for content. If you get upvotes, you will be paid. (Only if they have the power to give you money from the system). To get this power you will need more Steem power which can be obtained by converting Steem into Steempower. As more people use this platform - more people will want Steem power which means the price will increase. Steem and Steem Dollars are paid 50/50 so the prices should be pretty identical in the future in my opinion. At least they should increase.The next one is ZenCash.
It's one of my most loved coins because it's a privacy coin with an actual product. (Secure nodes which are end to end encrypted) and they only need 42 ZEN to set up a masternode. At the current price of about 50 USD per ZEN that's 2100 USD. Compared to other Node coins that's literally nothing. Also the market cap is extremely low if you take a look at other coins aswell. Theres also a rebranding coming for ZenCash in January.Also Syscoin (SYS).
Because they have a working product (Blockmarket) and are extremely active it got room to grow. 5000 sats right now if a fairely good price in my opinion although you might need to hold longer. On the 31th of January there will be 1.0 of the Blockmarket Web version. Either extreme pump or a small dump then. I would say sell before that release. If all goes wrong you can keep it for the Mainnet release on the 28th of February.Ubiq
Ubiq recently got a good Volume increase and with a low market cap of only 233 million USD it's one of those candidates that could do a potential 10x if they have the right marketing/product. Their product is a platform - just like Ethereum. No event coming up in January but if you take a look at coins like ETH... They have problems like the DAG size increase. This may not make it pump just now but in the long run definitely so we will have low risk.
That's it for the Bittrex coins.
TAs won't give you any better detail on what's actually happening at these times because BTC does whatever it want's and sometimes things crash just for a few hours like yesterday. These are times you can stock up your alts.
Max Stoploss is 15%. Watch your coins that hit stop loss for a possible rebound and reentry.

Let's come to those coins that will be most rewarding. Lets come to KuCoin. As the Exchange is fairely new and a lot of ICO coins get listed there it's perfect for early investments. Bigger exchanges will follow good projects with many users.
The things I would recommend:
Dragonchain (DRGN)
This is a platform like Ethereum but may be the future for proprietary business logic on smart contracts. You retain complete control of your data.
Try to catch it in a dip or rebound (preferred) to keep your risk low.UTRUST (UTK)
This is a pretty big project if you look at their teamsize and they are just out of ICO. Extremely wise choice to hold some because they are an active team which will definitely try to get the coin listed on more exchanges. This will get other investors in so be faster.KuCoin Shares (KCS)
Just as the exchange itself grows the volume grows with it. More and more users are coming to KuCoin every day and KuCoin shares give you a portion of the fees others pay while using the exchange.Decision Token (HST)
A token which lets you vote like in democracy. Here's a small Forbes quote: "This is set to be a global gamechanger and will soon be adopted by political parties, multinational enterprises, global NGOs and communities in developing countries." - This should show how significant this may be.Red Pulse (RPX)
Since Red Pulse is the first ICO on the NEO Platform it's close to a guaranteed success. KuCoin is the only exchange you will be able to buy it from and it already got a market cap of 200 million with only that exchange.DeepBrain Chain (DBC)
An Artificial Intelligence Blockchain Driven Computing Platform. They will be releasing mining in Q1 of 2018 and the blockchain integrated application itself on the NEO blockchain. Big potential with a > 200 million marketcap.Bounty0x (BNTY)
A decentralized bounty hunting platform enabling anyone to manage bounty programs, and bounty hunters to receive payment for completing bounty tasks. A bounty is a reward allocated for the completion of a highly specific task. Because of the extremely low market cap of only 21 million USD it's a hot potato and you should invest as if there is no tomorrow.

So let's finally come to Binance. As my main exchange I can tell you that it's growing massively so the first pick would be something you may thought about.
Binance Coin (BNB)
Just like KuCoin Shares - if the exchange grows the amount of BNB needed for people to get the lower fees increases which will make holding profitable. Be sure to always buy fresh BNB if you loose something through other trades. Always stock up your BNB!VeChain (VEN)
VeChain strives to build a trust-free and distributed business ecosystem based on the blockchain technology self-circulated and expanding.
Volume increasing steadily and just does the price. Keep a stoploss. This is one of the more risky trades.Enigma (ENG)
Enigma was created by a team of MIT graduates and researchers, based on the research work laid out in the Enigma whitepaper. It's used as a data marketplace to empower users to share and curate data and build data driven investment strategies. Extremely good team and also worth a long term investment. The volume is growing pretty big lately but not too big so we can get into.Aion (AION)
Allows for bridging blockchains together to transfer value and data. Uses a high performance VM to operate which makes it scalable. Miami Conference on 18th January and Testnet on the 31th January.Request Network (REQ)
Main exchange is binance but it's a project that solves major financial issues with crypto currencies. The Request protocol aims to simplify, formalize, and secure financial flows on the blockchain by setting the standards for payments, invoicing, accounting, and auditing in cryptocurrencies. This will allow crypto-enthusiasts to invoice, get paid, and even receive their salary in crypto.ICON (ICX)
This coin is trying to cross national boundaries and connect different communities. Services can be shared on various blockchains and a DEX wallet is used aswell! Oh did I say Mainnet launch on 24th January? Yes! The Mainnet is coming! This is a gem. 👍
Oh also. Use my ref link if you didn't yet create a Binance account (which you honestly should)

I'm also bullish on ICX. Can't wait for KRW pair on Korean exchanges.
Hey @blury!
This is a great post... you've definitely got formatting and readability down. Maybe take that bit about the Binance and Kucoin section being added in a few hours out.
Really great information and opinions... if you keep this quality up you'll do really well on this platform.

You have cheated my hard earn investment funds and It's a total lied that you said you will return my money to me! I have put my total trust in you after you said that you will handle my investment for me but ended up month after month, you keep ignoring my question about when will I receive my money and now you have totally block me from your chat group in order to keep this from your members. I have been so loyal to you and trusts, please member, if there is anyone that could help me..
Be careful guys of Julian @blury, I have more screenshots if you need them. I will continue to make new posts about Julian. I'm terribly disappointment-ed in his elite and professionalism.
