Our Top 5 Undervalued Cryptocurrencies #5

Big money can be made from cryptocurrency if you can find the right coin. We present our top five coins that we believe are undervalued and could, in the future, hit the big time. Remember, always do your own research and as the crypto market is volatile, never invest more than you could afford to lose. This is not financial advice, it is opinion based on research.

#5 - SUBSTRATUM (SUB)

Current value: circa $0.035
All time high: $0.096
Market Cap: $11.5 Million
Coin Supply: 532,000,000 SUB (60,000,000 destroyed in a burn party on 24th Sept, with 120,000,000 more to be destroyed)
Exchanges: Etherdelta (more to be added in the near future, coss.io on 30th Sept and plans for Bittrex)

What is it?

Substratum are aiming high. They want to decentralise the Internet no less. If they achieve this goal and become a big player, this coin could soar in value. Essentially what Substratum does is reward users for allowing their computers to be used as Internet nodes: in return for cryptocurrency, the user allows their computer to host encrypted blocks of data. At present, Internet sites are largely hosted on the servers of the main multinational players, Amazon, Google, etc. A decentralised Internet would share this hosting power out, reducing the control of the big beasts and governments over the net. When a user accesses a site, the data would come from the network of Substratum nodes.

Why is this a good thing?

In many countries of the world, China being a prime example, Internet use is tightly controlled by government. A Substratum type Internet would remove that control. The user would use their existing browser (unlike Tor or costly VPNs, no special software is required) to access content currently blocked. Experts, including web-founder Tim Berners-Lee, believe that decentralisation is the inevitable next step for the Internet - bringing the whole Internet to the whole world. Substratum would also enable the transfer of cryptocurrency and fiat currency in an instant, avoiding going through an expensive bank. It aims to bring cryptocurrency to the masses.

Why is the price likely to increase?

The current price is much lower than its all time high. In fact, were it to achieve that high again (a modest $0.09), that would bring a 300% increase in value - so a good short-term gain is on the cards. However, we see a much higher potential in the mid-
to long-term. Holders of Substratum earn rewards for simply holding their coins in a wallet. This will incentivise them to hold as they earn a passive income. If Substratum gets anywhere near achieving its goals, the value of it will soar. It is certainly not going to be easy, and there is no guarantee of success, but at current prices Substratum can be bought very cheaply so we think it is a good punt - buy a few thousand and hold long term. It will earn passive income and might well be worth a fortune in the future.

Token Burn Parties and exchange listings

An interesting strategy for raising the short-term from Substratum is to hold "Burn Parties". 60,000,000 tokens have been burned already. They list on COSS.ie exchange on 30th Sept. Four days after Bittrex listing a further burn will take place. There will be at least 3 in total (180,000,000 at least), drastically reducing the amount of coins in circulation. With each burn, the prie should rise, so the all time high should be well within reach.
