Want To Be A Crypto Millionaire? 2 Tokens That Can Make It Happen

Published

Prior to the start of the year, the biggest joke in cryptocurrency was about lambo chasers.  In other words, traders who expect overnight wealth, so they could call their nearest exotic car dealership and buy a lambo.  While I’m sure a few lucky traders had the good fortune to time their buys and sells correctly to accomplish that goal, most of us still in the game are probably in a different situation with our tokens.

Most of us are probably HODLing bags of various coins that have fallen 90%+ since the start of 2018.  And while most of these coins probably won’t rise back up to our purchase price, a few of them will.  The best way to identify those tokens is to look at projects that have developed game-changing technology.  I don’t mean “developing” as in promises.  I’m talking about companies that have actually delivered on what they set out to do.

While the hype days are over, I believe there are 2 tokens which have the potential to make their HODLers extreme profits.  This is especially true since the recent crypto crash has made these tokens extremely undervalued.  The 2 tokens I am talking about are the Basic Attention Token (BAT) and Encrypgen (DNA).

Basic Attention Token (BAT)

Basic Attention Token is an open-source, decentralized ad exchange platform based on Ethereum.  The token can be used to obtain a variety of advertising and attention-based services on the BAT platform through an exchange between publishers, advertisers, and users.

The digital advertising industry is currently facing a heap of problems that include the following:

  • Users are taken advantage of
  • Publishers are being crushed by Google and Facebook
  • Advertisers are lacking the tools to efficiently target their audience

To combat these issues, the Basic Attention Token works in concert with the revolutionary Brave Browser.  Brave browser is a fast, open source, privacy-focused browser that blocks malvertisements, trackers, and anonymously captures user attention.

Since the Brave browser calculates where users spend their time, it’s a great tool for being able to precisely determine which publishers should be rewarded.  Rewards are then given to publishers with BATs.  It’s really a win-win-win as publishers receive more revenue through the elimination of middlemen, users receive better targeted ads without the fear of malware, and advertisers will get a better sense on how to spend their money.

Now is really a great time to invest in BAT.  The company has a token cap of approximately $200 million but was above $800 million at the peak.  And the chart indicates that now may be the time to get in.  The token has fallen in price by more than 50% during the past few weeks as the crypto macro environment has deteriorated.  That being said, this is one of the few tokens that has delivered a product, is in one of the hottest industries, and is significantly undervalued.

Encrypgen (DNA)

In early November, Encrypgen launched the world’s first blockchain genomic data marketplace.  This was a game changing announcement as the company can now begin generating revenues by bringing data buyers and sellers together through the Gene-Chain platform.

Through this platform, consumers and researchers will be able to transact with each other in a way that is beneficial to both parties, and Encrypgen.  Consumers will be able to upload their genomic data, store it securely, and sell it at a fair market price.  Researchers will be able to convert BTC to DNA tokens.  And then use those DNA tokens to purchase genomic data.  In the future, it is expected that researchers will be able to also convert FIAT to DNA on the Gene-Chain.  However, because of the regulations involved in this, traders need to be patient.

Encrypgen is currently very active in the process of registering both consumers and researchers to the platform.  As the amount of uploaded data sets increases, and the number of participating researchers grows, the DNA token is expected to explode in value.  The current token cap of Encrypgen is just a paltry $1.4 million which, is laughable, as the company will soon achieve utility.  To put into context the ridiculousness of the company’s current undervaluation, let’s look at a few other tokens that are running jokes in the industry:

  • Verge (XVG) – $120 million token cap
  • Dogecoin (DOGE) – $258 million token cap
  • Monacoin (MONA) – $47.5 million token cap

Verge claims to be an anonymous and privacy-focused coin but hasn’t developed anything.  The company has several credibility issues including the disappearance of over 18 million XVG coins from the Verge “fundraising” wallet that were sent to Binance, allegations of paid pumping by John McAfee, and “fundraising” efforts that have been successful only at taking money from traders.

Dogecoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency.  However, when you go to the website, the homepage is filled with pictures of Shiba Inu, the dog “mascot” for Doge.  There is almost no information available on what the company does.  And even one of the Doge creators, Jackson Palmer, has warned against the success of Doge.  A $258 million token cap is just bewildering.

Monacoin is a Japanese cryptocurrency.  The company has one of the worst crypto websites I’ve ever seen.  And on the home page, the following is said:

“Monacoin is a cryptocurrency popularized by the initiative of its community: it continues to be nurtured and built upon not by a core development team but by its enthusiastic user base.  To give some examples, Monacoin users have brought up various kinds of Mona-based web applications and services, have erected shrines in appreciation of Monacoin, regularly play word games when tipping others.”

So token holders erect shrines and that means it is worth $47.5 million?  Gee, that makes sense. Not!

The point of listing these joke coins is not to criticize them.  At the end of the day, I couldn’t care less what coins are worth that I’m not involved with.  But what’s troubling is how a project that erects shrines can be worth 30x more than a solid project like Encrypgen.  I expect these mispriced valuations to correct in a massive way in 2019 and beyond.

Conclusion

It’s still uncertain what kind of year 2019 will be.  I do expect cryptocurrencies to be trading higher than where they are now.  But how high is anyone’s guess.  Nevertheless, 2 tokens that I expect to generate massive returns are Brave Attention Token and Encrypgen.  If traders get in now and accumulate a large enough position, they might become crypto’s next millionaires.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Published

on

By

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Published

on

By

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana Price Breaches $60 Amid a Symphony of Bullish Indicators

Published

By

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
