I look forward to reading your blog.

To answer your question. Ripple is ok but as a crypto coin is is being adapted by the banks and is not decentralised. Dash i think is overprice because of all the hype behind it. There are other coins that also have privacy features. As for EOS. I've not really done any research on that coin. Best to hold on and not sell. Think of the long term.
