Here's my list:
- LBRY is a promising concept, they have a prototype, active community and just $1M market cap.
- MAIDSAFE is at $70M, but once they make it work, it will be ground breaking. I think it will emerge as some kind of a de-facto standard. The potential is huge.
- SIA. It has much less visibility than STORJ, but from what I've heard, the tech is probably better. You can already store your files on the network.
- BITSHARES. It is probably the most complete second generation blockchain with some incredible features. The marketing is the opposite, which is why it is valued only at a fraction of some bitcoin clones.
- STORJ has a lot of hype, but I still think there's potential as an investment. They are good at UX and marketing.
STEEM will probably make the undervalued list once power-down's and power-up's approach 1:1 ratio.
how do you buy these currencies? im so new to this.
a. Buy some from a friend
b. Get an account on a cryptocurrency exchange which accepts Fiat (normal money). DuckDuckGo for bitcoin south africa. Send in your Fiat money and exchange it for Bitcoin
Also have a look at Bit20. I am writing a series of articles about it, the first of which is here. It is an index for the top 20 cryptocurrencies, so it will likely always rise in value.
Awesome, thanks.
