Hey everyone!
Some of you might remember that I used to do some news posts for alternative cryptocurrencies in the past. I haven't been doing them lately as there are a lot of people on Steemit currently covering news stories about altcoins, some of them that do it really well are @crypt0, @boxmining, @cryptoinvestor (vloggers) and another user who writes in great detail news about altcoins and diverse news in the cryptocurrency industry: @danyelk.
Some of the readers have asked me recently why I haven't been continuing to discuss and recommend certain coins as they have seen great profits over the months with my recommendations in the past. Although I won't be covering them in the same way as I have in the past, I might start to discuss new ICO's that I find interesting and I believe have potential to profit in the future.
I wanted to do a quick recap though of the currencies I have discussed in the past, the prices at the time of mentioning and what they are sitting on right now. If you want to check them out each 1 by 1, here are the links to most of them from the immutable Steem blockchain:
Alt-News #2
Alt-News #3
Alt-News #4
Alt-News #6
Alt-News #7
Alt-News #8
Alt-News #10
So here is a rundown of the majority of currencies I recommended during the Alt-News posts and what the price is at right now.
| Coin recommended | Date | Price then | Price now |
|---|---|---|---|
| StorJ | 21st July | $0,52 | $2,38 |
| IOTA | 21st July | $0,26 | $4,03 |
| NEO | 24th July | $8,50 | $102,43 |
| TenX | 24th July | $0,90 | $3,90 |
| Sia | 24th June | $0,019 | $0,086 |
| Asch | 14th August | $0,80 | $1,42 |
| Ark | 14th August | $1,20 | $7,91 |
| Steem | 14th August | $1,17 | 6,25 |
| district0x | 16th August | $0,13 | $0,33 |
| Aragon | 16th August | $2,45 | $7,53 |
| Ethereum | 20th August | $291 | $1220,20 |
| Monero | 20th August | $52 | $393,82 |
Some pretty big jumps on many of them, others not as much. I wish I had the time to be able to dive deep back into altcoins again and their movements but I think focusing on ICO's and getting as early as possible on some new ones with huge potential will be more important for the hodlers in our community. I am happy to hear though that many of you out there have been able to make some profit from my recommendations but you have to remember that this isn't financial advice and how volatile the crypto markets are. Never trade with more than you can afford to lose as the risk of something abrupt happening is big in the space.
If I were to guess which of these listed above are to grow a lot still this year, I would go with StorJ, TenX, Ark, and Steem. These would at least be the ones I would be the most confident with.
What do you think of me starting to discuss and recommend more ICO's in the future, would you be interested in that?
Have any of my longtime readers been able to profit on any of my recommendations? :)

I would gladly receive any recommandation of ICOs from you! What doesn't me feel confident about ICOs is that I have never invested in any by now (I am still young at this chapter) and I don't know for sure how to get started, but I would definitely try.
Woops, accidentally threw you 10x higher vote, oh well, enjoy. :D
10x for tenX
It's a sign!
Thanks for this post! I'd love your recommendations for ICO's, also do you have any fav picks for coins listed on Binance? Thanks a million bro!
Binance? Hmm let's see, pretty much all of them. :P
I'm holding ENJ, CND and QSP since they launched there, pretty nice returns so far.
Sweetness! Do you have any advice for college students looking to get into the crypto game? I know you should avoid FOMO, don't trade if you're broke, & use a hardware wallet. Can you think of anythign else? Thanks
I demand 10x votes for all of us! Ruin your voting power for a meme, damn it.
Omg, I love you now :))
As per your question, the Vice Industry Token ICO looks like it will be a winner, as the first SMT on the Steem block chain.
I'm very interested in Arise Bank, as well. I've particpated in this ICO already.
The other one I am looking forward to is Nucleus Vision, which is a way of getting offline shops online, by tapping into customer purchase analytics, AI, with a bit of VEN's supply chain stuff as well.
I'm sure there's a million others out there that I haven't even heard about yet!
Any info about Vice? If that one succeeds, it will be pretty high I guess.
https://vicetoken.com/ has all the info - probably NSFW :) (At least the chain, when it goes live will be... if they live up to their slogan.) Its a very lucrative one.
I have read their site, when i found the news I guess a month ago, but is seems petty poor documented, at least this is how I felt then, I may be wrong...
There's been a few really good write ups on Steemit about the token, and there was a typo in their whitepaper about the blockchain snapshot, too. Their telegram channel is pretty active, and it will be exciting to see how it develops. I feel like it would be 'getting into Steem' at $0.40, the ICO feels like a fantastic deal, with all the revenue other sites of that nature make via advertising and so on.
Unfortunately i wasn't around that time, i would have invested in some of your recommendations.
I will have to consider these this year as well just like you said.
For what you have asked, i think you should go on recommending some ICOs,
We always add in our own research and predictions which makes a pretty calculated investment.
Will be waiting around for your new coins this year.
Keep up.
Although I didn’t start crypto earlier but I did grab a few sia while they were at 0.003!!! Can’t believe it’s like 8c now
And full confidence with steem this year!
Most definitely. Everybody always wants to find the golden eggs and the more opinions about an ICO can be found, the more material is available to use.
Experienced players definitely provide advice which is very valuable because they have an own set of points they analyse and decide on those why they value a startup/token/ICO.
You must definitely start giving your recommendation on coins and ICO, as your previous performance was exceptionally good... Good luck!
It's Steem :) I am sure it will be growing a lot this year.
Some very good picks there, maybe you should review some ICOs that you like? I personally would be very interested in that
I screenshot the list for future referrence if I already have a capital. This is a big help for lazy people like me to do research for the great coins. I think I will go for siacoin because it is one of the cheapest haha.. thanks
I holding steem.
always look at marketcap instead of coin value cause the amount of supply fluctuates by a lot, in my opinion considering how similar StorJ and Sia are I'd say the former is cheaper.
Exactly.!
I'll keep that in mind.. Thanks. is it the lowest market cap is the best?
There are a lot of factors involved. :)
haha ok... thanks.
Yeah definitely interested to see your recommendations!!
Great predictions
YES, with your sight tell us the pros and cons of all ICOs you can put your hands on. A more educated steemian will definitely make a better choice.
Keep on steemit
Thanks for your insides mate! I am maybe not one of your longtime readers but getting an interest (even if it is small compared to you and most here) in altcoins and cryptovalutas is a lot thanks to you! In other words, also the small profits I've done by entering this world is much thanks to you! Waiting for more of your hints! ;)
:D cryptovalutas for the win! :P
Genau!
Now that bitcoin is finally in a period of consolidation altcoins have been booming. Be careful though because when bitcoin wakes up again YIKES Alts cry. If you can time it right and sell your Alts in to bitcoin you will be rewarded.
I hate when bitcoin wakes up lol
Throw me on the list of those who would like to get ICO info from a high-profile Steemian like you!
just because there are others whom posts on the same topics, you shouldn't stop. some of us don't follow others and wouldn't stumble upon those opportunities.
Great article! Respect for those returns. What's your opinion on $LEND (EthLend)?
sir about ripple in coming six months
I don't touch that. :)
Great effort ..I have an opinion: the biggest problem with 99% of cryptocurrencies is they are centralized, started and run by a company of unknowns, who even refuse to give out their names or CVs, addresses, or any info on themselves, and I fear are merely pump and dump cons. More often than not they want your Bitcoin in exchange for their worthless crypto. Best to stick with a proven crypto, as in Bitcoin.
generaly agreed, but with bitcoins developments lately and the lack of innovation... it will die, simply because of it's fees. it's not realy welcoming to newcomers who put in a 100$ and pay 50$ to transfer it to their wallet. lightning network would help, but who knows when they will deploy it. it's realy bad right now. i love bitcoin too, but ... there are so many buts... and there are zero-fee coins out there, who are faster, more secure and bring a lot of improvements overall. that's why i always advice to diversify your portfolio
I see we agree on ARK, but I can't say I wasn't told of its prospects. As for thoughts on solid coins, many times I pick an application alongside a good service, like STEEM, for example, but BAT, SBD, and other tokens that double as rewards as well. The incentive there is hard to ignore. Also, coins tied to reputable wallets are cool too, I'm thinking of NAV specifically.
i would definitely want to get some reccomendation in ICO I don't see it covered so much here. It's quite hard at the ICO stage to predict the outcome but someone with your experience level certainly has a much better chance to get it right than most of us newbies here. If you get a bullseye on just one ICO it can make a huge difference .
got a good one right there: SwissBorg

acid, you agree? i hope so, pumped some money in already ;) cheers
...and YES! cover ICOs! it's more needed than the alts, i think
I
it's atrap! ;) your stealing my referral! go away!
Yes, please resume:
Great job @acidyo.
Steem On!
@danyel, Followed you. You're new to me. Hope to see some valuable posts from you soon.
Steem On!
Great! I would love to get some advices from you regarding this. I am not currently into ICOs but would love to make my hand dirty, if I get proper directions, as I am a complete beginner.
hi @acidyo. I have also invested in some of alt coins like ripple,siacoin and IOTA..and I am in profit right now.I have chosen those coin which are under $1 and I am new in trading.But your recommended alt coins are also very good and focusing on ICO's would be a great thinking,one day it will gives us profit.Thanks for your great hard work for us and inspiring us to invest in ICO'S.I am resteeming your post so that every steemians will learn something.Upvoted and resteemed.
ICO that have been review by someone who we trust can save a lot of time. I know everybody should do their own research but this world is becoming huge and there are limited hours in a day.
Hope to see some reviews in the future. Have a great week man!
I agree with this sentiment exactly. I missed your recommendations @acidyo but I did invest in several of the ones you mentioned. I have been looking for a good source on upcoming ico's that would be worth looking into further.
Followed! Looking forward to your updates in the future.
ICO recommendations would be lovely. I have been late to the crypto scene and started noticing them only after the recent huge rallies in almost every altcoin.
ICO would be a good way to get invested and catch the upside early enough.
hello Friends Good News
Enjoy the vote and reward...
sir about ripple in coming six months
比特币终于在一段时间的合并了，总是看市场而不是硬币的价值。这是一个很大的帮助，为伟大的硬币做研究。
proposals direct my life, have a full leader spirit acidyo 👍
WOW!! I'd better start getting me some COINS!!! Great post!
Like your post but it's real
we are happy to receive your recommendations
and
Please show your current portfolia to us.
Hey, nice write up, it is interesting. I am following you, can you follow me @xtophercruzeu thanks
great information and talking in crypto-news. I like this///
thanks for sharing.
we definitely want your your recommendations . You are right ... ICOs gives more benefit...early birds gets the worm..
Nice post discussing thing about crypto- news @acidyo
Yes please keep doing those posts!
It would come handy if you could also help predicting the corrections.
Absolutely Very awesome to see your coin recommended ICO's @acidyo. It gives very helpful to others.
Jesus, those are all some huge gains. Is it really worth it in your opinion to invest in any of these if we don't have a lot to invest with? Say I had like $100 to invest with. If you had to guess would I be able to net decent profits with Storj, Ark or Tenx if I catch them when they're down? Or, would I be better off keeping my eye out for new coins that will be releasing over the next couple of months?
I often feel kinda discouraged with investing into cryptos when I only ever have a small amount available to invest, and most of the time I've already missed the huge boon where it doesn't seem like there's much left to gain.
Buy on the dips. You might not have got in at the bottom but if it's a solid coin, the trend is up.
yes, please.
i'm all ears about ICOs
i guess we've all profited from steem.
Good post ...
I didn't see XRP your coin recommendation. What about your opinion about XRP?
Hmmm nice look like neo is also good, i have some xrp and i dont know if i would sell it in exchange for ethereum? What do you think guys?
I definitely would be interested in your recommendations for long term investment. I am slow to invest but when I commit to a theme I generally stay invested for the very long term.
I really missed your updates on alternative cryotocurrencies...i do follow your recommendations. I would really love you to countinue.
