this post is so heavy

Or is this post so 'Heavey'? (my surname) ... I think even most dads would be embarrassed by that one.

@heavey
Very nicely compiled. This write-up shows how much time and effort you have devoted in your learnings about crypto currencies. Thanks for sharing. Upped and started following :)

What do you think about the decentralized cloud storage coins, Sia, Storj and MaidSafe?

That is a huge market and at least Sia is already offering cloud storage at the fraction of cost to the likes of Microsoft or Amazon.

interesting

For sure that is a valid concern. I would see it more likely though that Amazon would buy one of the cloud storage blockchain startups, just like they did with the grocery market and acquiring Whole Foods.

Good call on TenX and the like, I think any product that is mainstream consumer facing is going to be hot in the next year. Following!

cheers

I fully agree!

I love your article and you absolutely nailed it about there being so many uses for cryptocurrency/blockchain(distributed ledger) technology! Your approach about finding those special cryptos that will have practical value in the future is also spot on. I present to you one such cryptocurrency, that is Swarm City (SWT). With their affiliated Chasyr app that is an Uber "up-ender" I believe it is the coin you referred to with the potential to reach $60billion market cap. Thanks! Resteemed!

Nice article. You made good points against Redd coin and other similar ones. I think in a way Steemit belongs to same category as well as ongCoin.io. I'm curious what you think about these two as they are for the social media as well but they already have working platforms and active community around them? Thanks!

ONG coins ICO has started...

Great read! Looking forward to reading some more of your posts. Love the knowledge and content you're putting out there. I'll be following so keep it up!

Good read.. but I can say a few that will be great coming out... I get your point though.. a lot will come and go.. it will be a swift shifting market for sure

A fantastic post 👏 keep up the good work 👍

Found you through FB, you have my full UV, so hard to find people who post high quality crypto content on Steemit. Who are your favourites?

Thanks for sharing @heavey, very detailed article and I liked it!

Thanks mate, plenty more to come :)

Interesting post thanks

Cheers bro, many more to come :)

Very good post. I am so inspired to integrate blockchain into my new app ! Just need to learn how haha :)

Next step is to learn how to code haha

To add to your point, another major thing that I look for in a coin is that if they have a product/app yet? ex: Tenx has a working debit card in testing phase.

Great posts and looking forward to more installments and insights.
I truly believe educating the masses about the benefits of cryptos will benefit us all and make the world a better place. Another plus side, the higher the adoption, the higher the market cap and our portfolios.
We all have a role to play introducing friends and family to adopt cryptos (without sounding like a pyramid scheme).
Once we see regular Joes using TenX cards and Bitquence wallets in stores and restaurants, we will know we are on for a winner!

interesting

Great article, something I thought about doing myself. I've shared to my FB page
https://www.facebook.com/thinkandgrowbtc/

I think this is the best post I've ever read at Steemit. You have done an awesome work, just analysing the top 100 cryptos is a really hard work I can't imagine analysing 500 cryptos! Really good job dude, new follower here!

Now looking at your work, I agree with your way of thinking. Blockchain is the next Internet, and everyday more and more important people is realising that (I remember an interview to Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, where he talked about blockchain and he said the same)

I think we need to find that type of coins that right now are unknown, really cheap, with a great project, and there is a lot of coins with great potential. We should ward off coins like Litecoin, the copy of Bitcoin, Ubiq, the copy of Ethereum, etc, etc...

As I said before, great job dude!

Thanks mate! We're definitely on the same wavelength here :) I believe the market is currently undergoing a gigantic shift that started with just currencies and will end up as a MASSIVE range of Cryptocurrencies. I also think that we are still very early in this shift and thus many, many uses of the blockchain are in their absolute infancy.

We may have missed out on Bitcoin but there are a lot of coins with immense potential out there and I'll do my best to find them!

You should check out my post tomorrow about the Aventus ICO. They are attempting to infiltrate the ticket selling business which is, not only a huge business, it's also currently being served by pretty terrible companies... bots and crazy fees have virtually ruined the free market but places like Ticketmaster don't care because they are still getting paid.

When a market is being served so poorly by the current infrastructure, technology evolves and replaces the old systems... its time for Cryptos to take over.

The best bit is that Aventus is launching with a maximum cap of $15 Million which makes it 512x smaller than Ticketmaster. The potential to grow is unreal. However, as I will say in the article, I haven't fully compared it to competitors yet and, until I have done so, I cannot recommend anything lol

Honestly mate what have you actualy added to the debate here? You have told us there are alternative uses for crypto than wealth transfer. Go there Einstein. You make this huge claim to have studied 500 cryptos and yet you mention only a handful. You are going to have to work harder than that to convince people you have any clue

Lol there is always one person to criticise. Personally, I don't think many people actually realise that the blockchain has thousands of uses; not just currencies and smart contracts so I am attempting to inform people of this.

I only mentioned a few currencies mate because there's not exactly enough space to talk about all 500. The reason that I mention the 500 is because in my next posts I will exploring in greater depth some potentially great coins that I've found in this large group.

Can't please everyone I guess :)

When the mass population still has no idea what's going on/never heard of a blockchain. I think discussion of future applications is a great thing for people who do/have, and want to look to the next opportunity. Especially on a crypto based platform. This is one of the better blogs I have read.

Thanks a lot for this great article! Nice to see you are mentioning Bitquence. I got in only with a litlle amount yesterday, will pick up more when the price keeps droppin :) Wish we already could use an app like they are develop. What I was wondering, don't you think there are much other companies trying to do the same as Bitquence?
Really looking forward to your next posts!

I'll be honest with you mate, I love the idea the idea of Bitquence but I don't really like to make recommendations unless I'm extremely well educated on the topic. I haven't studied the whitepaper of Bitquence or their competitors yet so I cannot say about them especially.

I was more just using them as an example of how I believe the category they are in is a rapidly expanding one :)

Brilliantly written and compose article dude.

Nice post, just got to it (I'm quite new). Will read on what you're writing.
What are your thoughts on Polybius, LAtoken, etc. ?
I'm also amazed that people can't see the potential of Blockchain for so many industries/domains and the economies of scale that are possible...
