I get it, every day you see a 16 year old YouTuber who made a million last month and wonders if you could do the same. Stock markets offer paltry returns and a 10x is a rare event. Are you already out of the race? Is it too late? Does the dream of hiking in exotic European locations end because you "missed the train"? The answer is NO, NO and NO. I came across a Bitcoin article on Slashdot in 2011. So I couldn't look back. I mined my first coins, bought some much later at $20 dollars, witnessed the unnerving collapse of Mt. Gox, and later used my profits to get my hands on Ethereum. Fast forward to now, I picked up a few coins last year in the new “ICO” phenomenon (Antshares and ICON) and saw my investments grow almost 100x in just a few months. I'll tell you exactly how YOU could do the same, without searching the internet for new coins and the next Bitcoin. In fact, this article is so powerful that it could change the way you invest forever. You're probably asking me why, and no, it's not to shilling these coins or because I'm a Pump and Dump lord. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"?

In the words of Daniel Jeffries, whose work I follow closely: “This is where you're trying to hitch a ride on a rocket and crush the market. "Let's launch the rocket. Hello New Life. The Chinese ICO market. We understand a little about the Chinese investor space and why this is an important factor in selecting our coins. We all get bullish when a big US/Euro company announces a partnership, the value of the currency rises, the news picks it up, the sub-reddits are full of news. But what happens when VeChain or WaltonChain collects a nationwide aggregate? The answer is NOTHING. (Of course, this may be due to massive manipulation of buying/selling volumes by the whales, but that is beyond the scope of this article.) Partnerships like these are huge and strongly signal a positive move by the government, citizens and of companies in that country. These are heavy partnerships. We have also seen how the Chinese are far ahead in the implementation and adoption of new technologies, such is the state of this country that started by producing counterfeit goods, but has honed its manufacturing expertise to effectively become the world's leading manufacturer, which now challenges the United States to be the next superpower. But hasn't the trade been banned in China?!?!?!?You are absolutely right. But ask yourself: would such a large country, which implements technologies of all types ASAP, permanently ban ICOs and cryptocurrencies? NO. China likes control, they like to play with technologies until they understand them, regulate them and then forcefully move forward. “It's very difficult to influence things when adoption comes up; it is much easier to impose restrictions in advance and define the direction of the upheaval. “Blockchain is definitely huge in China, and the government is fully preparing to embrace it, think of VeChain's partnership with China Tobacco. China has a five-year blockchain plan in place, only for officials to fully realize the revolution technology represented by Blockchain. They banned it because they want to control it; because they will control it. And when the time comes, just as they have demonstrated in manufacturing, China will become the world player in Blockchain technologyinterest in this space, as seen by VeChain, Waltonchain, and NEO. The only thing that really affects Chinese projects is the terrible marketing in English, but when they realize this and overcome it, investor confidence increases. Think AntsharesRebranding VeChain. When you consider these two factors, the lack of Western marketing and the fear regarding uncertainty in China, people are not evaluating this market effectively. Combine the fact that China will open up blockchain development soon?—?and I think they will?—?with the certainty that these companies will improve their marketing (we're already doing that) and I think we have an opportunity. An opportunity to be at the entry level of an undervalued market. Platforms to Watch: QTUMA A hybrid of Bitcoin and Ethereum technology, QTUM has taken the best of these worlds and integrated their systems with the two. QTUM leverages the security of Bitcoin by using a virtual machine and customizable blockchain for smart contracts and decentralized applications just like Ethereum. QTUM's support indicates that the project is supporting a much broader ecosystem. NEOThis huge project has something called Council, which understands that NEO can only be one component of this. dApp in development on NEO; developers jump from project to project; OnChain and NEO work closely together. My perspective on this is that it aligns well with NEO's vision of enabling a smart economy. Everything they invest in is an indication that the project is included in the broader smart economy ecosystem; which makes it very valuable to investors. OnChain, together with NEO, is committed to developing products that support the broader ecosystem. They have an extremely powerful network and bring substantial support to the projects they support. OnChainAnother offering from the founders of NEO, but NOT from the same company. OnChain's system, known as DNA, (Decentralized Network Architecture) aims to collaborate with Chinese businesses and government. Neo serves as a precursor to the DNA protocol. Ultimately, DNA develops public, private and consortium blockchains for enterprises. These blockchains then connect to NEO to join the decentralized economy. Companies therefore have all the advantages of both private and public blockchains. Think of Neo as the foundational public blockchain and OnChain as its enterprise blockchain counterpart (i.e. a means for large enterprises to operate on blockchain). So, they can connect and get the best of both worlds. Okay, enough. Where do I get on the rocket now? Fasten Your Seat Belts-APEXInitial Coin Offering on January 29 The company has created a data collection and management program that operates on its AI platform that would help its partners. AI platform that assists businesses in data collection and management. They basically help companies manage their customer data. Investor target market? Around 200 companies. Strengths -With a total of 250 customers, of which 30% will participate in the testing phase, APEX rewards their customers when they interact with their platform, setting prices and determining what information they want to share. This is fed into a smart contract, after which a company can purchase this data. Subsequently, all the information collected is sent to the APEX business hub, providing companies with a broad degree of data analysis. APEX is tied to an already powerful data management company with hundreds of enterprise customers and gives them a huge advantage. LOOPRING (LRC) Trading on Exchanges Perhaps one of the most unique and innovative solutions on the market, Loopring executes trades based on execution requestsautomated systems intelligently controlled by its ring system. Loopring is not only a protocol but also a decentralized automated execution system that trades on crypto token exchanges, protecting users from counterparty risk and reducing trading costs. By pooling cryptocurrency liquidity, we are building the financial system of the future. Backed by the chi-chi of Chinese investors, I am very optimistic about this project. The entire protocol, while currently being developed on the Ethereum network, is designed to be platform/blockchain independent. The project is backed by NEO and Qtum, so by adding 1+1 together, you can probably expect them to get to more blockchains than Ethereum. Loopring's main competitive advantage is that it allows match-ring orders, not only splitting your orders but also enabling liquidity that will provide you with the best bid or ask, wherever you trade your assets. They are heavily focused on the Chinese market for now, and when they market to the West…. . you know what could happen. (See $KNC and $ZRX)ICO Price?—?$0. 0071. Current price?—?$1. 1DEEPBRAIN (DBC) Exchange TradingDBC is traded via NEO-based smart contract. The mining node is incentivized through a system designed through smart contracts. DeepBrain Chain is a decentralized neural network. Countless mining nodes around the world will provide computational power for using artificial intelligence to meet global business demand. Mining nodes receive DBC as compensation. The GAS tariff that each company must pay is far lower than the intrinsic tariff. DeepBrain brings application to blockchain network in China. Most projects are engaged in ecosystem building, with less focus on specific use cases. Furthermore, it is supported by the NEO board, which gives confidence in this system. Support is inspiring; to me this indicates that NEO is confident enough in its ecosystem and foundation to start developing dApps. DeepBrain has strong institutional backing and their connections within the Chinese market give them security. The Chinese love to use their own. ELASTOS (ELA)Not yet commercially availableElastos is the world's first Internet operating system that uses the Internet as a base-level infrastructure rather than an application. The Elastos approach emphasizes that network communications should be separated from application processing and prohibits application programs from direct access to the network to eliminate most viruses and attacks (especially DDoS attacks) on the Internet. Elastos is an open source system and has received sponsorship of over 200 million RMB from Foxconn Group and other industry giants for its research and development. Think of it as a decentralized Smart-Web. The closure and monopoly of the Internet economy in just 20 years has far exceeded the concentration of resources in the real economy over a hundred years or even centuries. The Internet has gone from a decentralized to a centralized situation. From connection to closure, this is a general Internet trend. Bill Gates' central service was afraid, and Steve Jobs' central service received the enthusiastic support of Internet users, the pace of centralization will only be faster, if not even more afraid. Many people don't realize that animals are held captive in private reefs by Internet giants, also like ants in a little nest. Blockchain technology allows user IDs, website IDs, and digital asset IDs to be tracked across a new Internet. It can also create scarcity of digital assets, throwing away thefoundations for an intelligent digital economy. Bitcoin ushered in the era of digital currency. With digital cash-on-delivery transactions, not only does scarcity need to be identified, but decentralization must also respect how smart contracts work. With the help of Elastos you can securely deploy massive decentralized apps (DApps). With accurate confirmation and contract transfer using blockchain, various works, contracts, ideas and intellectual properties in digital form become assets in the digital world. Elastos creates a brand new smart economic zone on the traditional Internet. Elastos (ELA) coins become the digital currencies in this economic zone. Elastos is a blockchain-powered internet, enabling digits to become wealth and bringing the internet economy to new levels of usefulness. *Supported by the NEO Board*NEBULAS (NAS) Trade on TradeNebulas focuses more on the West and therefore suffers less from the publicity hurdles that other regional projects face. Nebulas features a ranking algorithm that can effectively assign value to blockchain projects and contracts and allow users to search for them. Nebulas has its own VM and supports dApp development. An efficient update system allows for rapid scalability. It is fully compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. They have an accredited team behind them. Nebulas is commonly referred to as Google for Blockchain. And with their blockchain search engine, it seems appropriate. But the real genius of Nebulas is how they use their classification algorithm. To rank items in a search engine, there must be an established value system. A way to judge one blockchain project, dApp, or protocol from another. Nebulas designed a value system for the blockchain. This value system allows Nebulas to effectively “rate” users and accounts and reward them accordingly. Combine all this with dApps, smart contracts, and other advanced features, and Nebulas becomes a serious contender among third-generation blockchain projects. IoTCHain (ITC)Trading on Exchanges According to their website, the IoT Chain team is working on an operating system for IoT devices that is lightweight and highly secure. It is an IoT blockchain that scales to >10,000 txn/sec, providing an average transaction confirmation speed in the order of milliseconds. Strengths? China will likely be the leader of the Internet of Things revolution. The token that integrates well with businesses and facilitates adoption rivals the success of IOTA. IoT Chain has strong technology, large enterprise backing and significant institutional investment. It is currently only available on smaller bags and therefore its market is limited. I think it has a lot of room for growth and the possibility of leading the IoT market in China. Let's take a look at some of the main differences compared to IOTA. VeCHAIN ​​(VEN) Trading on numerous exchangesVeChain uses a mix of blockchain technology and the in-house built smart chip to track items throughout their lifecycle. The smart chip can be implemented in different IoT items such as NFC chips, RFID trackers or QR codes. While this may not seem like the most exciting technology, it plays an important role in ensuring product quality across all industries. Let's consider, just to give an example, the luxury goods sector. The luxury goods industry is filled with over $450 billion worth of counterfeit items. With an item like a Louis Vuitton bag changing hands multiple times during production and distribution, you have to trust that the person in front of you.
