Let's Discover Some Lesser-Known High Market Cap Cryptos Together

in #cryptocurrency6 years ago

Ok, so, what the title says. There are tons of cryptos that I look at on the top 100 on coin market cap and I have no clue what they do. I bet you don't know anything about them either, so...Let's change that!

  1. NEM (XEM) - MarketCap: $1,993,032,000

So, what is NEM? Well it stands for "NEM", and its ticker, XEM, stands for "NEM". Or something.

Well, let's see. at the top of their website, they declare:

Ok, not sure what that means. I tried to watch the video but it had pictures of bitcoins and talked about blockchains revolutionizing the world and I turned it off.

Ok, let's see what it says next on the website...hmmm, "NEM Advantages":

Blockchain technology offers a fundamentally streamlined method of maintaining a secure ledger of transactions compared to a traditional database.

Ok. So...I gather it's a blockchain...

NEM’s blockchain platform was designed and coded from the ground up for scale and speed. NEM’s permissioned private blockchain delivers industry-leading transaction rates for internal ledgers. And its revolutionary consensus mechanism and the Supernode program ensure that NEM’s open, public blockchain can grow without ever compromising throughput or stability.

So, ostensibly it's a GOOD blockchain??

Hmm, let's look at "Use Cases":

Okay so it's a platform. Yawn. How about making money? Well, looks like they something called POI (proof of importance) and Harvesting, which you can do with 10k NEM...Hmmm, reading the instructions....Uhhh, yeah, I don't get this, let's move on.

  1. Bytom (BTM) - Mcap: $478,544,976

Let's take a look at their website:

transfer assets from atomic world to byteworld

Okay....Let's see:

Bytom is an interactive protocol of multiple byte assets. Heterogeneous byte-assets (indigenous digital currency, digital assets) that operate in different forms on the Bytom Blockchain and atomic assets (warrants, securities, dividends, bonds, intelligence information, forecasting information and other information that exist in the physical world) can be registered, exchanged, gambled and engaged in other more complicated and contract-based interoperations via Bytom.

Well, that's simple, how much more do we need to know? Let's look at another!!

Ok I regret this whole thing I don't understand anything and all crypto is garbage, I'm going to sleep

Sort:  

BTM almost half a billion in market cap? I have not even heard of it until I read a post and sure enough it is ranked higher the steem in market cap.

Is it me or there seems to be a lot of cryptos to invest in these days....

Too many

hahaha finally.. it's theater! :)

For now i have 0 nem.Must buy some!

$2 bil market yo, cant go wrong right?????*

*this is not financial advice, in fact im dumb

haha
I always wait for best price,and sometimes some coins went pass my radar. :)

LOL. Nice post!! I needed some humor after looking at the market today.

seriously though how did cryptonex get a $210 mil marketcap. it's just a generic pos coin with a website riddled with grammar and spelling mistakes, and really bad stock photos. ?????????

"...all crypto is garbage, I'm going to sleep"

I hope you can read this when you wake up :-)

My humble advice:

  • if you don't understand it, don't invest in it
  • only invest money you can afford to lose
  • never tell others what to invest in: they'll hate you if they lose money over your advice
  • don't let the quest for a quick buck keep you awake :-)

To be serious for a moment; there's no way anybody can keep up with all these vague whitepapers, unless you make it your day-job to do so. All you can do is inform yourself as best as you can before investing your hard earned money, like you did here. And if that doesn't go well, you can always ask around: that's what fellow Steemians are for!

Very entertaining article, so you got my humble upvote :-) Thanks!
