What is my favorite coin?

Just like I pointed out in my entry into this contest that my favorite coin is ADA. As we all know that as crypto users, we have a host of cryptocurrencies we invest on based on their future prospects. Asides ADA, my next favorite cryptocurrency is #LUMEN. I know you might be surprised why I decided to pitch my tent with cryptocurrencies of current lower values. Don't be dismayed they are the beauty of cryptocurrencies for the patient buyers. If indeed you want to delve into this types of cryptocurrencies you must be the patient and observing type.

What is LUMEN?

Lumen (XLM) is the native cryptocurrency for #Stellar, an open source blockchain payment system.

The purpose of Stellar is to connect financial institutions via the blockchain and provide cheap transactions in developing markets.

Stellar was created in July 2014. I got to know about Lumen early this year during a research on cryptocurrencies I could invest on through a friend.

Why Did I choose Lumen?

I chose Lumen because I believe from research that it is one of the cryptocurrencies with great future prospect. Another reason I chose this cryptocurrency was the rate at which it was climbing up the ladder on coinmarketcap to touching distance of the very bests cryptocurrencies. I was thrilled when I discovered it rose sharply to be ranked among the very best cryptocurrencies on coinmarketcap. XLM is presently rated at No 12 in the coin market as at the time of writing this.

Just like I said in my introduction above, I bought Lumen (XLM) in July and I've not even given it a follow-up since I got the coin until yesterday 25th November when its value to by 68% in 24hours. The funny side of this I that I might not have checked the cryptocurrency but for this contest.

Lumen's current performance

Lumen is doing very fine lately. In the last 36hours, it's worth rose by 68% but you know for Oliver twists like me, when it is still below 1USD, we won't consider it as a notable profit. Although in the last 24hours now the price has dropped with about 8.7%. According to Binance, XLM is currently priced at # $0.172350

My Plan For Lumen

Truth be told, I intend selling off this coin in about 2 months from now so as to be able to have funds to reinvest on it and other promising cryptocurrencies. Another reason I need to sell this coin is because I am in a little financial constraints and funds is not forthcoming

Sort:  

I don't know much about stellar but I remember reading it had good transaction speeds. I hope your investment goes well and we see a run next year.

I too do hope next year will be profitable

Although I am really not a trader on a day-to-day basis.

Same here. Knowing about cryptocurrencies automatically lands you in the Crypto world or market but then I'm not even a forex trader or some sort.

I got to know more about cryptocurrencies while in the blockchain and since then I've been updating myself in that aspect.

I really thought that cryptocurrencies was solely for those into forex trading, I guess in wrong.

Isn't it advisable to check the work in progress of your coin on the least weekly basis even though it's a long term investment.
