Top 5 favorite Cryptocurrencies - 8/2/17

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

There are so many cryptocurrencies out there. Over 800 or so. The market is extremely volatile. One hour a coin could be up 20% or more, and then next hour you can find yourself in a severe hole. People take different approaches. Some are day traders and just want to take little bits of profit at a time, and some are playing the long-term game, hoping it will explode. Personally, I am playing a little bit of both. Here are some of my favorites. This is not financial advice. I will briefly explain why they are my favorite. Do what you will.

  1. Ethereum (Pretty obvious right?) Long Term Play

This is the coin everyone has been talking about. The currency that was around $80 in May is now hovering at ~$350+ to date. Incredible. Most sources are saying that this is "the new" Bitcoin. Ethereum has taken a chunk away from Bitcoin's market share. I'm playing this long-term. I see a bright future in this guy.

  1. Litecoin (The safe one) Long Term Play

This coin has been one of the more stable coins. From mid May to mid June it was hovering between 25-32 dollars, and recently jumped up to $45-$50 levels. This coin tends to stay steady after it rises, with little correction. I like how it looks on the charts and feel confident that this coin will be grow slowly (hopefully quicker) but surely.

  1. Golem (My recent love) Short Term Play, could be Long Term Play

This coin is less than a year old and has started to take shape this year around march. This coin has had a steady rise from around .03 cents in March to over ~.60 cents to date. This coin could blow at any time and grow to levels similar to those of Litecoin in my opinion. I was impressed with their website and their mission.

Factom (Bullish) Long Term Play, but see a rise soon

Factom just looks good all around. This coin was trading ~$15 in the beginning of the month and now to date its hovering a little over $30. Many sources are saying that this coin is solid. I like the RSI and moving average of all periods. I can stand behind this coin, even if it had a bad day.

Steem (Duh!) Long Term Play, and why hasn't it blown up?

In my opinion, Steem is way undervalued. With it's social media aspect, and reward building system, this could be the next Facebook. Why not get rewarded for making posts that have value and connect a community? Steem is great (tootin the horn).
