Thanks for the advice.
I am also in on vertcoin and walton.
Any comments on them or other recommendations?
Looking to hold 5 coins long term.
Perhaps lisk...
.

I don't like moving the discussion away from thread topic - but I would hold Bitcoin Cash, Vertcoin, Waves, XRP, IOTA, and MAYBE EDO - but that's a long shot.

Look for anything that brings value. Vertcoin for now is riding the ASIC resistant trend for miners - so that group of enthusiasts will be going there. For now. Do not underestimate the power of Chinese manufacturers.

Waves --> Wallet

XRP --> Looking to replace SWIFT (which is old and gives it an opportunity to do so)

IOTA --> Don't need to beat a dead horse here - we all know why it's a god coin

EDO --> Their idea of decentralized exchanges is interesting but this is still a stretch

Bitcoin Cash --> People who made good money from Bitcoin are already moving to pump this coin. Evidenced by how much volume is flowing into this from Southeast Asia - also there is a good chunk of Chinese citizens beginning to use BCH as opposed to BTC because of the transfer fee in receiving/sending money.




EDIT: I would actually add Storj to that as well. They receive moneys from Google. Also bring a viable product to the public (Blockchain Cloud storage) and a competitive price point (Cheaper than Azure, Amazon, Microsoft and Google cloud services) and even out against Apple.

It is the same with every crypto that is developed from fresh new codebase. They have to learn a whole new api vs the simple plug and play of a copycoin. It took forever with Monero and NXT as well.

Vote for IOTA - https://mobile.twitter.com/cyrus_moody/status/926545149836001280

Some calculations before my question.

If we have a total supply of 2,779,530,283 MIOTAs and a total supply of 21,000,000 Bitcoins, there are 132.35 Miotas per Bitcoin, let's call it pack.

The current price of a Miota is 0.37 dollars, so its relative price trying to match the same amount of Miotas and Bitcoins is: 132.35..*0.37 = 49 dollars for Miota pack and a total of 21,000,000 Miota packs.

According to the current status of this project, do you think 50$ is a good price, cheap or expensive?

Thanks.

Does IOTA have a dark horse competitor from it’s own backyard in Germany? led by the most hated team in Crypto (remember the DAO?), Slock.it is alive and back. They presented at Devcon3 today: https://youtu.be/iRtG_6pYqGE
I can't believe Stephan Tual is back.

I'm really surprised this coin is where it is. I thought IOTA would be top 3 by now. I haven't kept up to date since I pulled out of this coin. However I still think 2018 will be a big year for IOTA.

Still there are other markets to buy IOTA except on binance, we still can buy IOTA on bitfinex,
bit520 specialized for Chinese costumers because just there is one fair IOTA/CNY or
we can use the official market of IOTA it is the website: www.ydx.io YDX is a semi-automated escrow service
that enables the trading of supported cryptocurrencies. No fees and maximal deposit.

Either you buy from someone here on the board ( I sell a small amount, let me know via pm if you are interested ) or buy on Bitfinex.com that is currently the best exchange to buy IOTA imho.
