Two interesting ICO picks for 2018
When picking ICOs to invest in, I look for a strong concept, experienced team and sophisticated website. Lets be honest, there isn't much more to go on with ICOs. White papers and pink cloud promises are not empirically reliable. Obviously, the number of overall coins being offered and how much funding the coin has attracted thus far are good indicators as to future appreciation in prices, but when it comes to speculation such as this, fundamentals are the key. Given the dramatic success of previous ICOs, just one smart investment in one of these coins can generate substantial returns in a short period of time. We're talking 1000% gains.
1. Crypterium
This is an interesting project. Crypterium is a cryptocurrency bank that will offer all many of the same services that a regular bank does with fiat currency. They are banking (pun intended) on the idea that in the future people will need crypto loans, mortgages, debit cards, portfolio and coin remittance services. As cryptocurrency becomes more mainstream, the emergence of dedicated institutions is likely and Crypterium is well-poised to capitalize on this opportunity. As of today, they have already attracted in excess of $31 million. Additionally, they raised their first $3 million in just five hours. A look at their executive team reveals a combined experience that includes structured finance, blockchain legal consulting, quantitative hedge fund management, technology consulting, commercial banking and venture capital. CRPT token holders will enjoy benefits from a loyalty program offered by the company. You can view the site here: https://crypterium.io/
2. Rentberry
They are building a decentralized home rental platform that can transform the way people find, lease and manage real estate. On the Rentberry platform, home seekers can locate potential accommodations and bid on them using cryptocurrency. All aspects of making payments - rent, security deposit, utilities - will be managed on the platform. This type of technology has huge implications for the real estate sector. Firstly, credit and background checks will be instantaneous because all information will already be secured on the blockchain. Secondly, with increased transparency and access comes liquidity. Landlords and tenants alike will find that their real estate needs can be met in one place. This will encourage brokers and rental sites like Trulia to adopt the Rentberry platform, which means Rentberry tokens will be under high demand. The executive team at Rentberry has already spent years working on this concept, it is not new. They have a company that is already in operation and growing each day, capturing more market share in the U.S. home rental sector. Their combined experience includes real estate management, investment banking, product marketing and technology consulting. Additionally, their CTO is an Amazon veteran. BERRY tokens are available for sale on Cryptonomos and have already attracted $7 million in less than 48 hours. You can view the site here: https://rentberry.com/
