Antshares (ANS) - Cited information on why this is Bittrex's hottest Crypto

Tl;dr

• Antshares is Chinese Ethereum
• June 22nd announcement driving hype
• Maybe undervalued because everything is in Chinese
• Only listed on Bittrex so far
• I own a little ANS so buyer beware

Antshares in short are a smart contract blockchain platform, similar to Ethereum. In fact, in many ways, it is Ethereum built with many of the functions that one expects from a Smart Contract platform. Except for one huge difference.

Antshares is from China, developed by Chinese companies for the Chinese market. It has built-in regulatory support for Chinese businesses which is huge. And sadly, all of the information is in Chinese. Investing in ANS is a bit like a religious experience. You buy because you believe in the idea, and realize that there is no way you will get a complete picture.

Some important points to note:

• Flexible programming options (supports more coding languages than ETH) - C#, Java, VB.NET, F#, Javascript, Python
• Microsoft has partnered with Antshares on their Microsoft Azure platform - http://bitcoinist.com/antshares-raises-millions-in-ico-partners-with-microsoft/
• Alibaba has partnered with Antshares to build a traceable email system (for verifying transactions via email i believe) - https://siliconangle.com/blog/2016/10/20/onchain-partners-with-alibaba-for-blockchain-powered-email-evidence-repository/
• Bancor announced a partnership with Antshares a week before their huge ICO -
• Support from Chinese government - Founder Da Hong Fei attended a government seminar - ~~~ embed:753061123868372994 twitter metadata:ZGFob25nZmVpfHxodHRwczovL3R3aXR0ZXIuY29tL2RhaG9uZ2ZlaS9zdGF0dXMvNzUzMDYxMTIzODY4MzcyOTk0fA== ~~~
• Holding Antshares generates Antcoins. I have no idea what Antcoins will do.

I believe in China.

Imagine Ethereum with access to the giant Chinese market. Imagine a cryptocurrency which has support from the Chinese government and all of the lovely ICOs that will be powered by ANS. The Chinese are fiercely proud and tend to invest emotionally in their own properties.

This is the future that I am investing in.

This the future that will hopefully be heralded by the June 22nd event.

On June 22nd, Antshares will:

• Rebrand Antshares. This will introduce Antshares to a new generation of crypto investors, and hopefully inspire local developers to embrace Antshares over ETH.
• Announce their Smart Contract 2.0 Platform - IPOs, Portfolio Management, Transfer of Claims, Asset Management
• Release a new platform - SmartBase
• Announce a new strategic partner (hopefully on part with Microsoft and Alibaba)

Antshares was named as one of the top 50 Companies in Fintech in China by KPMG - https://assets.kpmg.com/content/dam/kpmg/cn/pdf/en/2016/09/2016-china-leading-fintech-50.pdf. It is pretty clear that they are a substantive company with a lot of reasons to succeed.
