!!!!Crypto Investment Watchlist!!!! (3 Month outlook)

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

Here is a list of the top 4 Crypto/Bitcoin related ICO (Initial coin offerings) that are on my radar for the next 3 months (Aug-Oct). I wanted to make this a brief overview so its easy to quickly browse the profiles and stay up to date on new investments.

In no particular order

Crypto Investment #1
AntShares- Digital asset platform
Chinese company AntShares is using its second crowdfund to launch the AntShares blockchain, which will be listing equities of private companies following the launch with more companies to follow.
The purpose of the Antshares blockchain is to allow for the registration, digitization and issuance of assets including the ability to transfer proof of ownership on the blockchain.
Transactions on the Antshares blockchain will be two-way, both the sender and receiver will sign electronic agreements signifying the transfer, this second signature will help provide legal verification of an asset ownership transfer. Some other uses of the AntShares platform will be equity crowdfunding, P2P loans, digital asset management, and intelligent contracts.

ICO Timeline-
Aug. 8-Sep.7th (31 days)
Aug.8-13----20% bonus
Each day after, the bonus will be reduced by 1%
Sept. 2-7-------0% bonus

A total of 100 million ANS will ever be created, of which 17.5M sold during the first crowdsale for 2100 BTC, 22.5M allotted for the current sale, 50M into a reserve to be used after a year for bounties and strategic investment.
Rank awards will also be given in a lottery fashion to the top 100 participants including round-trip airfare tickets and hotel allowances for the 2017 New York Consensys Blockchain summit.

Crypto Investment #2
Decent (DCT)- Decentralized content distribution
Geneva based Decent is an independent web 3.0 platform that aims to liberate digital content using blockchain technology. Rating and recommendation engines fueled by machine learning algorithms will help users find content they want and pay content creators directly. Decent is about border-less publishing of content with a commitment to freedom of speech and anonymity. Content will be distributed through publishers (miners) who are then rewarded for providing their hardware. With a 50% bonus for the first day of funding, and a steep drop off to 10% then slowly creeping to 3000 DCT per Bitcoin, it pays to be an early-bird on this one.

ICO/Software Sale:
Sept. 10- Nov. 10th
1st day 1 BTC/55 ETH = 5000 DCT +50% Bonus
1st week 1 BTC/55 ETH = 5000 DCT +10% Bonus

Crypto Investment #3
Etherex (ETX)--Decentralized Exchange
EtherEx will be an open source, non-profit, next generation decentralized exchange built on Ethereum, with plans to offer margin trading, hedging derivatives, options and much more. Currently etherex is in alpha on ethereum testnet and undergoing a security audit. Although it seems etherex has been pretty quiet with updates lately this project, but if successful could be a game changer and quickly attract alot of attention. It will be interesting to see the token distribution/crowdsale terms they come up with. Sign up for the newsletter to stay up to date.

Crypto Investment #4
Hong coin (Ħ)--Decentralized Venture Fund
If you're familiar with the DAO, then you'll notice Hong has a similar aim in creating a decentralized venture investment fund. Hongs approach utilizes a management team to execute actions on behalf of the token holders.
The management team will play many key roles helping to facilitate the investment process.

The initial coin offering (ICO) of HONG token is designed with five stages, each with 100M Ħ to be issued at different offering prices. Sale Begins Aug.13.
1st stage, 0.80 ETH for 100 Ħ, total 100M Ħ
2nd stage, 0.90 ETH for 100 Ħ, total 100M Ħ, minimum target
3rd stage, 1.00 ETH for 100 Ħ, total 100M Ħ
4th stage, 1.10 ETH for 100 Ħ, total 100M Ħ
5th stage, 1.20 ETH for 100 Ħ, total 100M Ħ, maximum target

The total number of tokens to be issued during ICO will be capped at a maximum number. A minimum target will be set as well, in order to sustain the daily operations of the fund.
If not reaching the minimum goal on Day 30 of ICO, ICO will extend to 60 days. Full refund if minimum goal not reached on Day 60. Anytime during ICO, investors are allowed to withdraw their investment.
