I want to thank @Jsnip4 for his video on Clif's report (shown at the bottom of this article) and all the recommendation from Trader Boss he's been passing on.
I recommend you follow JSnip4's Youtube Channel.
And if you haven't, I recommend you buy Clif's report.
First and foremost, if you thought 2017 was the year of the Crypto, 2018 is going to be even bigger. Some of the initial ICO companies, like SALT Lending, are coming out with their products, so I expect those tokens to greatly appreciate. Veritaseum is another great example. And with their success, I expect adoption to increase and prices to follow suit, as people realize more and more, that cryptos are going to change the way we do business. I expect the next generation to not even know, or remember, another way of doing business!
The initial 3% of the population known as innovators have now adopted cryptos, and we're going to spring up to the next tier, the 14% of the early adopters.
If you remember the 40K people a day signing up for Coinbase.com earlier this year, we'll probably double of triple that in 2018. So, buy and hold your cryptos!!! And, if you haven't, sign up all your exchanges!
I'll specifically be buying Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash between now and January.
Litecoin is expected to come out with some big announcements regarding partnerships where you can pay/get paid in Litecoin easily, and covert instantly to fiat, if you so desire. This will make Litecoin a serious contender to Bitcoin (which is, as of now, too expensive to be used as a medium of exchange).
Bitcoin Cash, is expected, per Trader Boss, to drop some in January, and then have a huge spike. Since I'm not a fan of predicting the markets, I'm just going to buy every chance I get... half Litecoin and half Bitcoin Cash.
As always, I don't recommend you leave anything on the exchanges, unless you're playing the trading game, and then, I recommend you take your profits out (not as fiat, but transfer your cryptos to your Exodus, Jaxx, Trezor, Ledger Nano S, etc.) periodically. If it's not out of the exchange, it's not really yours.
Beyond that, I'm still buying EOS, NEO, QTUM, XEM, OMG. And I also like DASH, ZCASH and XMR.
If you haven't bought SALT, PLR, PPT, PPP, you may want to look into those.
With regard to future ICOs, I'll only consider ideas I like, or feel comfortable with. The ICO fever is over, so I don't expect the quick rise in price right after the token is released. If the idea is good, when they put out their product, then I expect the token value will rise. But, according to Trader Boss, you'll be able to pick up most ICOs at a price lower than the ICO or pre-Sale, after the fact. Paypie and Wild Cryptos are 2 examples of that.
Now, to JSnip4's video, he starts off talking about Hashgraph. What is Hashgraph? They claim to be a better algorithm than blockchain (fairer, faster, more secure), but as anything, it's not about how good it is (that can be subjective) but it's all about adoption. And the blockchain, in Bitcoin and the alts, has first mover advantage... a lot of it.
In the video, we learn that Hashgraph has its own technical, business and social limitations. And, per Clif, we'll see some of those show up during 2018. Remains to be seen how they'll come out of it. Hashgraph will also have to face up with competing concepts/ideas.
Mid-May to Mid-August - cryptos will go wild. New technology unleashed or revealed. Burst of new visibility, incremental success. Blockchain is going to replace the old (e.g. replace the SWIFT system, or doing away with banks), more and more adoption.
An example from Joe's video is OpenBazaar - which is going to challenge eBay for all things peer-to-peer buying/selling, with NO PLATFORM fees. If you've ever sold anything on eBay, you know they make bank on sellers.
Last week in May, through middle of November 2018, is a period of bursting out, participation, self-education. Social order, changed by cryptos. Looking at a potential tripling, not necessarily in price. Early adopters rushing in.
And in 2019 - advancement with trailing opposition. New powers settling into the cryptos world. The 13% year. The bulk of early adopters rush into cryptos.
After the early adopters, will come mass adoption. And that's a much larger section of the population. In other words, cryptos have a long way to go up.
New people, new ideas. We're still at the ground floor! Cryptos spike. That's always been the case. If the price drops, buy the dip. Buy every chance you get. Buy and hold (HODL).
Research, learn. This technology isn't going anywhere but up. Jump in! If you already have... keep buying. Every dollar or euro you convert into cryptos is money that will not deflate away. It's an investment in your future.
This is my position. This is what I believe!
