Little Coins That Generate Big Profit

Following a long-term bearish trend on altcoins this autumn, the cryptocurrency market was surging at the end of the last year. Altcoins as Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), Verge (XVG), Cardano (ADA) skyrocketed in the course of two to three week. Many others grew in price by five to ten times with the record-setters, such as Tron (TRX) and Verge - by 20 to 30 times respectively.
Many altcoins proved to be stabilizing. Major players such as Ethereum (ETH) increased immensely with a huge capitalization. It should be noted that the increase in prices has been growing alongside a relatively stable BTC price, which means that all the generated profits were nominated not only in US dollars but also in BTC.

Little Five Coins

Let’s look into five new assets that, if invested in December 2017, would have generated an amazing profit for the investor and could maybe generate even more in the near future.
Only assets with the trade volumes no less than $1 mln were taken into consideration. All the “shit coins” that are growing at pump and dump schemes were filtered. Assets that are traded at major exchanges such as Bitfinex, Bittrex, Poloniex, Binance were not taken into consideration either.
All mentioned crypto assets (or “coins”) have been selected by the following criteria:

1. Technology and demand from crypto or other industry (=likelihood of high future demand)
2. Trading on a small exchange (=low price may result in few people having access to trading these assets. Thus, demand is low at the moment, but could significantly increase after releasing partnership and listing at major exchange)
3. Low initial price (=probable undervaluation, taking into account previous criteria)
4. RaiBlocks (XRB) is a coin, built on DAG-technology along with well-known IOTA, focusing on fast microtransactions. One of the important points why this coin was picked is demand for DAG technology in industry and a broad market for future implementation.
5. Dent (DENT) is used for sharing prepaid packages of mobile data. According to Cisco review, 15 percent of mobile data is unused and this is the market of 4.8 bln dollars. User cases are as follows: sharing unused data packages, avoid roaming, automated buying mobile data for IoT devices at best price. This concept is good for future demand on Dent token, so it was selected.
6. IoT Chain (ITC) is a coin from a Chinese-based startup, providing high-scalable transactions for IoT industry. The project is based on a high-scalable DAG version. IoT in general is a trend in the industry and a new high-qualified project, which could present an interesting opportunity in an investment portfolio.
7. Dragonchain (DRGN) is a new Blockchain platform, designed by Disney. The platform is high-scalable, has huge functionality and can serve many fields of operation - smart contracts, identity, intellectual property, p2p financial instruments and many others. Also, the platform is building its own ecosystem with startup incubator. At the moment Look Lateral - an Italian project selling art with Blockchain rights fixation as well as LifeID (Blockchain-based identity) are making a product using Dragonchain. According to the top-tier company behind this project and technological functionality, this asset is surely a “little coin, going big.”
8. XTRABYTES (XBY) is a platform for dApps, offering high-scalability and decentralization opportunities over current Blockchain technologies. The team created a new consensus method, Proof-of-Signature and algorithm Zolt. This project seems good and new-tech oriented, so possible high-demand for XBY coin may arise if XTRABYTES solution becomes used widely.
   What to expect?
   This year seems to be bringing more maturity to cryptocurrency exchange markets. Hopefully we will see the introduction of market brokerage platforms and services with trading tools such as professional trading terminals, analytics, and the possibility to buy and sell the majority of crypto assets in one window. What if 2018 is the year of little coins becoming big?
