BitBay markets (BAY) all the way.
Here's why:
David, the lead developer has been quietly working away at building this decentralized marketplace platform that already hosts a ton of features, which you can use right now! I actually just sold 5 acres of land on it.
Here are the main reasons I love BAY:
The team is truly passionate about the project, and have been using their own budget to fund it (no ICO's or vaporware scams), they are building it before doing any marketing.
The currency will have a " dynamic rolling peg" which will greatly reduce the coin's volatility. (The users will vote on when/how to limit the coin's supply) This is awesome because it will prevent the manipulation of price by whales etc., and create a more stable environment for investors. This is going to be HUGE. (This feature will be introduced Q2 2018)
My rough and hypothetical guesstimate on potential coin valuation: If you take the average of the top 3 industry competitors market caps (Amazon: $474.41B, eBay: $38.12B, Craigslist: roughly 8B) you would get $173.51 Billion. Divide this by the number of BAY and you get a value of $172 per coin. Insanely too optimistic you might say? Alright, even if BitBAY was able to take 1% of this market space, that would still be 1.735B, or $1.72 per coin. So, at the current price of $.02 per coin, there is a TON of room for growth. (I realize this comparison may or may not be apples to oranges and is very approximate, but at least it gives me a rough idea of what the potential is)
DOUBLE DEPOSIT ESCROW. This is such an important feature, because it means you can create a smart contract with another stranger, and not have to use a centralized 3rd party to monitor the transaction. If there is a dispute, then both parties are forced to come to an agreement, or else they both lose their deposits. It took me a second to wrap my head around it, but quickly realized the brilliance of it. This creates a near-perfect environment a truly decentralized and synergetic marketplace.
Easy pre-made templates for creating your own smart contracts. This is next level, because so many people/investors (including myself) hardly know what a smart contract is, let alone know how to build one. BitBay Markets makes it easy, and all you have to do is fill out a form and your good to go. I was able to list my 5 acres of land in California in about 10 minutes. (Faster than Zillow) I'm currently in the middle of closing the transaction now. (The GUI is also constantly being tweaked to be more user-friendly) I will admit, the aesthetics are very dated.
It is a fully functioning platform. This big for me as an investor, because there is actual value behind the investment. Many of these coins have fancy websites and "roadmaps", but no actual working product...too many vague dreams. At least with BAY, I know that there is a dedicated and hard-working (former chess champion) using the money to make an already existing product better for everyone, and positioning it to succeed amongst competitors.
Last but not least: They just brought on some very experienced people to the marketing team, who will be promoting it this fall/winter and building awareness, which up until now, hasn't been done at all. That is why the price has remained so low.
Over all, these are just a few of the many reasons why I am a firm believer that BAY is highly undervalued, and has serious potential for positive returns in both the near and long-term future.
