2. IOTA
IOTA is a cryptocurrency designed for the Internet of Things. As the Internet of Things keep expanding, the need for interoperability and sharing of resources become a necessity. IOTA enables companies to explore new business to business models by making every technological resource a potential service to be traded on an open market in real time, with no fees.
In this new autonomous Machine Economy IOTA will be the backbone. The Tangle ledger is able to settle transactions with zero fees so devices can trade exact amounts of resources on demand, as well as store data from sensors and dataloggers securely and verified on the ledger.
As you can see IOTA does not use the blockchain technology but is built on the tangle.
The tangle is a revolutionary new blockless distributed ledger which is scalable, lightweight and for the first time ever makes it possible to transfer value without any fees. Contrary to today’s Blockchains, consensus is no longer decoupled but instead an intrinsic part of the system, leading to decentralized and self regulating peer to peer network.

4. BRIDGECOIN
BridgeCoin is a scrypt mineable coin similar to Litecoin. It was created in July 2017 to fund the development of the full CryptoBridge decentralized exchange. After funding is successful and the platform comes out of beta, 50% of all CryptoBridge DEX profits will be distributed to participating BridgeCoin owners.
CryptoBridge is a decentralized exchange (DEX) that supports trading of most popular altcoins. The main innovation is elimination of a single point of failure when trading cryptocurrencies.
CryptoBridge is trying to solve many problems faced by altcoin traders such as thefts, manipulation, hacking incidents or government takedowns.
These problems are solved by the decentralized blockchain based order book and the multi-signature federated gateway network.
There is no central point of failure. All deposits, withdrawals and all order books are transparently stored on the blockchain.
CryptoBridge runs on top of the BitShares blockchain which is decentralized by itself. In addition, their distributed federated gateway network enables trust reduced depositing and withdrawal of all coins.

I'm excited to see SmartCash make your list! VERY promising coin, maybe my favorite right now! And I hadn't heard of BridgeCoin, thanks for the heads up!
iota is actually really really bad
what's your justification for this
"really bad" reasoning from crypto-ramble!
These are our picks:
All the reasoning and acquisition prices are available in our posts.
Thanx
will take a look, thanks for actually being able to back what you say lol it goes a long way
can't just throw money around not knowing what the hell you're putting it into
IOTA is backed by many massive, household companies. I think that alone will make it big in the future. Plus it is the current market leading crypto for the Internet of Things industry, and will probably remain the market leader.
I fully agree, based on really nothing..
Thanks for information upvte and resteem where is cardano
Upvote that!!
Love the post. Keep up the good work!
I'm hedging my bets on Ether being the big boom of the year myself. There's a good chance it will eclipse Bitcoin soon.

In my opinion, Ether would be great this year but iota doesn't click to me. You can also add TRON. I think tron would be better
Tron left a bad taste in my mouth after crashing from .22 :(
Everything crashes off ATHs. BTC crashes 7 times a year. That's why you only buy the dips, and only take profit on tops. If you get stuck HODL till unstuck. This applies to every coin.
It was closer to .30, but yes I feel your pain. As others have stated, it should be a minor set back for a major come back (super cliche phrase, but applicable).

These are some solid coins but my personal top 5 is:
I think this 5 cryptocurrencies are going to do alot in 2018
Digital currencies have emerged as one of the most profitable investments of 2017.
You don’t have to take our word for it. Just take a look at the returns:
Ethereum is up 2,000%.
Bitcoin is up 744,233%.
Litecoin is up 750%.
With the digital currency floodgates open, early investors are becoming accustomed to four-digit returns.
But there’s a catch. Many of the currencies listed above have already achieved mainstream investors. They will continue to generate profits (making them valid investments), but you will never be able to buy them for under $1.
Many digital currency investors are hunting for the next big altcoin, hoping to find a new Bitcoin for the right price.
And the best contender is Ripple. In the last year alone, Ripple is up 3,733%.
Look for a currency called Kodak when released.
