Hello ladies and gentlemen!

This is GAMING IN ASIA and today we'll be telling you 5 coins that we like for the year 2018.

Please do not take this as investment advice. We highly recommend doing your own research on these projects.

5) KUCOIN SHARES (KCS)

An exchange token that gives HODLers 50 percent of the transaction fees earned by the exchange. It's led by a young CEO that worked for ANT Financial / Alibaba group in China.

Why the KCS pick? Massive growth potential, good marketing, passive daily income
Possible risks: Kucoin exchange is hacked, regulatory risk, exchange closes

Price when this was written: 19.64 USD
Conservative price estimate within the year: 40 USD

If you decide to open up a KUCOIN account, we'd love it if you used our referral code: 1scHc

TLDR on KCS: Crypto index fund with daily payouts

4) BASIC ATTENTION TOKEN (BAT)

Token that aims to provide an alternative advertising model where advertisers get cheaper advertising rates and viewers get a cut for viewing ads. Try checking out the BRAVE browser. Led by Brendan Eich - the guy behind Javascript and Mozilla Firefox.

Possible risk: Projected market adoption rate isn't met

3) NEO (NEO)

With a lot of NEO based ICOs in store for 2018, just do the math.

Possible risk: Can't think of one specific to NEO at the moment. Please comment your idea

2) ETHEREUM (ETH)

The strongest developer community in cryptocurrency at the moment. If ETH can overcome the scalability issues, it will continue eating Bitcoin's market share as the gateway coin.

1) ICON (ICX)

Korean initiative with corporate partnerships, university links and government backing. ICON can easily enter Top 5 once the ICX/KRW pair is introduced on Korean cryptocurrency exchanges. If you were looking for a large industrial conglomerate cryptocurrency, ICX is the answer.

Price when this was written: 9.72 USD
Conservative price estimate within the year = 50 USD

Why the ICX pick? Highly developed project with a strong team that's highly undervalued, Korea loves crypto!
Possible risk: Main net problems
