The top 70 crypto-coins and the problems they try to solve

Everyone is enthusiastic about the crypto-coins and the future of decentralized assets.

Looking at the large amount of altcoins / tokens, it is almost impossible to search one by one, with the intention of making a good investment. With this post, we want to teach you a fairly simple method to check if a currency is worth investing in ... before you understand how it works or how it will reach your goal, I try to understand a simple question:

What problem does it solve?
So without further ado, here are the top 70 altcoins per marketcap, summarized by the problem they are trying to solve.

If you think I misjudged the problem they are trying to solve, leave a comment with a one- or two-line summary of the problem, and I will review it.

Bitcoin
The problem you want to solve: The world economy is very connected, and in the long run it is unstable.
Bitcoin is a long-term investment medium separate from centralized fiat-based institutions; It is a USD hedge disconnected.

Ethereum
Problem to solve: short term: the need for a platform to issue ICO tokens (and sell them with smart contracts); Medium-term: legal contracts are inefficient; Long-term: meet AI demand (artificial intelligence)

Ripple
Problem: The banking system is disjointed and contains thousands of accounting systems scattered around the world, it would be better if all were interconnected in the same system; Dealers inject insane amounts of capital to facilitate payments where in a more efficient system they would not be needed.

Connect all payment systems in one, provide a blockchain system for banks use.

Litecoin
Problem: Substitute currency of Bitcoin, an evolution of Bitcoin.

Ethereum Classic
Problem: Ethereum can not modify the network to reimburse losses for those who have created faulty codes. The code is law.

NOR
Problem: Creating a decentralized currency is not enough, it is necessary to develop a set of tools around the currency.

IOTA
Problem: There needs to be a way to interconnect devices on the internet of things to communicate with each other, without fees.

Dash
Problem: Digital currencies must be consumer friendly, and there must be an integrated process in the network to enable marketing finance and consumer-friendly product development.

BitShares
Problem: Assets currently traded on inefficient privatized platforms, assets should be traded at "something" higher. Example: Ethereum is too slow to handle fundraising for ICO and a faster platform (BitShares) is needed.

Originally created as a platform to create digital assets and track investments (such as gold and silver), it offers a decentralized exchange and a platform to generate new assets.

Stratis
Problem: Corporations need a company to help them create private blockchain ... I actually do not understand how the token fits into a private company that develops Blockchain solutions. Who knows, please explain in the comments.

Private block development company that also has an altcoin, apparently companies may use this altcoin to start a private Blockchain in their network.

Monero
Issue: Payments on a decentralized network must be anonymous.

Zcash
Issue: Payments on a decentralized network must be anonymous.

Waves
Problem: ICOs in Ethereum are slow, they should happen on a faster and easier platform with decentralized exchange.

Siacoin
Problem: Centralized (and later distributed) computing platforms (especially storage) are overly expensive.

Problem: Investors want to diversify into altcoins, but it would take a lot of time to invest and secure dozens of different altcoins.

Tokens that derive dividends in ETH's ICONOMI business, which purports to be as an index fund for digital assets.

BitConnect
Problem: fools are easily separated from their money.

Invest your money in this new and improved ponzi scheme.

Dogecoin
Problem: Bitcoin simply does not have enough memes.

What happens when your dreams become memes. (One of the earliest "joke" coins has a large community behind it)

Stellar Lumens
Problem: Same as Ripple, the goal of connecting banks, payments and the underlying ones for a low cost.

Lisk
Problem: It is very difficult to create new blockchain applications.

Augur
Problem: Centralized betting platforms are centralized, expensive and open to manipulation.

AntShares
Problem: The same kind of issues that Ethereum is trying to solve.

Problem: Bitcoin development too slow? In fact, we could not find much evolution for DigiByte.

Byteball
Issue: Many transactions and interactions occur on mobile phones and in chat rooms, payments and smart contracts must exist in these conversations via chat bots.

DigixDAO
Problem: Buying "custody" gold requires a lot of confidence and would be more efficient in a chain of blocks.

Basic Attention Token (BAT)
Problem: In the advertising industry only ad publishers are profiting.

BAT allows users to also profit from the time spent on viewing ads.

Veritaseum
Problem: P2P digital coins are cheaper than conventional products. What I can not understand, is how Veritaseum is doing something better than Bitcoin has already done, or Ethereum's smart contracts are doing ...

They claim totally autonomous contracts that will allow people to acquire stocks, mutual funds, etc ... But who owns the real good in the real world?
