Fantastic Coins and Where to Find Them #1
![Main.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV6AN1kpq1DQyyUKiTjLJbznhAkk7oPcnPRKHV7vkSHdT/Main.png)
So many coins out there, don't you think? Half are scams, other half are "hopeless" honest attempts, third half are as good as an immortal burger from Mcdoland's, 4th half is... sorry I did not take math in school, didn't like it. But how can you keep up with all these juicy coins and their upwards trend?
Sometimes looking at different graphs of different coins, you feel like you have missed alot of opportunities, regardless of the massive gains you have already made.

This will be a series of posts highlighting 4 different coins in each post, with a short description about each coin. I hope it would shed the light on certain coins that "in my personal opinion" have a great future and the current price (as of JAN-9th of 2018) is still affordable to stock up on. Some of the information here is also provided on the official websites of the listed coins in higher detail, this is just an assortment of appetizers being served on one table for your own convenience.
1. Elixir:
![Elixir.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSvjNfQ28zkjPDYnw6Fyz6zFjjhTMLYPySqfnzVbrBWSg/Elixir.png)
Token Type: ETH
Total Supply: 113,670,474
Current Supply: 30,631,588
Elixir (ELIX), Previously known as Timereum (TME), this unique Ethereum based coin is manually mined through time, not needing bulldozer sized mining equipment or high electric bills. Elixir also provides lending services where users get rewarded for giving, receiving and paying off loans on time. Started as Timereum in august at the price of 0.03 $ (3 Cents), then went live on Novaexchange. A short while later it was delisted from the exchange due to issues in TME deposits and withdrawals (I honestly do not know the details), which caused problems on the Exchange platform and people believed that it was doomed to fail "including my self" just like many other coins out there. Due to this issue, developers reacted quickly and announced Timereum 2.0 which later became Elixir, that move from the developers provided a greater hope for TME holders that their investments did not go to waste, and provided all TME holders with a 1:1 ratio Elixir through MyEtherWallet, Developers are very active, which is a key factor in the price, not to forget the total supply of ELIX is low. hurray!
The current price of ELIX is around 2.06 $, and could be found on Kucoin,CoinExchange.io & EtherDelta
2. Decentraland:
![Decentraland.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSXpzCFCXYfSyMBumQ4Z5Bf2ShkPKnva4pk3Vjd2EjytJ/Decentraland.png)
Token Type: ETH
Total Supply: 2,805,886,393
Current Supply: 1,029,190,905
In the current age, what is a hotter topic than Virtual Reality and VR based services and platforms? Decentraland is literally a decentralized virtual world, you buy real estate, rent it, build on it, sell digital assets, all with their official coin MANA , a full virtual decentralized economy. The ICO of Decentraland raised over 20 Million USD back in August in less than 3 minutes, at token price of 0.024USD. I waited over two weeks looking at the countdown counter on their website, when ICO started there was high traffic on the site as usual, so I refreshed the page in an attempt to try and start contribution and all I could see is a "Thank you all for participating in Decentraland token sale, sale has ended", and that is when I had to go buy a new keyboard since mine shattered into pieces.
I would not be surprised if Ebay or Amazon end up opening in Decenetraland in the future. Currently there is a Decentraland Auction Event, it is typically auctions in Decentraland to bid on land and claim it, the most expensive land so far went for an approximate of 100,000 USD value in MANA, it is a land right infront of Genesis Plaza which is at the heart of the city. After this event is over and all lands are claimed, Decentraland will move to the IronAge which will add multiplayer support and players will start interaction through VR headsets, add custom modifications to the land you own. Imagine the huge price jump when IronAge starts, Imagine the price of Land as this project improves towards their SiliconAge, not to forget that MANA price has been in a constant rise since their auctions started. On the other hand, all MANA used to claim lands won in the auctions will be burnt after the event is over, MANA on lost bids will be returned to the users' wallet, so Just HODLing MANA or buying land is a great investment until the end of this year and even further.
The current price of MANA is around 0.25 $ (25 Cents), this coin exists on so many exchanges, but I would list most popular ones, like Binance, Bittrex, Bitfinex & HitBtc . If you would like to see the complete list of exchanges for MANA you can by visiting CoinmarketCap.
3. Red Pulse:
![RedPulse.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeNe1Z6AzFEhLh83g1u2fP4ifMAkjpnoPML6bouDDHGuA/RedPulse.png)
Token Type: NEO
Total Supply: 1,358,371,250
Current Supply: 543,348,500
RedPulse is originally a platform that provides real-time feed on many different topics, it helps categorize the current economy of the Chinese market for easy viewing and research purposes, so it existed a while before their ICO. RedPulse token (RPX) is the first NEO based token and it was one of the most hyped ICOs at the time of the announcement. Unfortunately, a short while before the original ICO starting date (September of 2017), china put a blanket ban on all ICOs, it was very sudden, that is where NEO and the RPX ICO got affected the most. At the time NEO price suffered a significant drop and the RPX ICO got postponed until further notice, they are both heavily Chinese based.
This is a snippet of the Email I received on September 5th regarding Chinese regulations:
Around 20 days later, where most were hopeless, on September 19th I received the wonderful Email:
Honestly there were no tears of Joy, because at the time I had spent most of my NEO that I had kept for the ICO on other coins, but still had some and proceeded to the ICO. The service RedPulse provides has a world dominating market behind it, China! So I believe RPX will have a bright future, also considering it is the first NEO based token is another great plus. Their ICO ended in around 1 hour raising in total of 14.5 Million USD, RPX token price was 1,000 RPX / NEO, considering NEO was around 36 USD at the time of the ICO, this would set the price of 1 RPX token to 0.036 USD (3.6 Cents).
The current price of RPX is around 0.70 $ (70 Cents), and could be found on Kucoin. RPX is the reason why I registered at Kucoin even though I have never heard of the exchange before that, I believe after being listed on more exchanges price will keep rising to above 10$ for the short term.
4. Electroneum:
![Electroneum.png](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmTAKrSvaUwXA7EZeupRJ2LgY1JXuUS7pZiBjzF9sWB1mf/Electroneum.png)
Token Type: ETN
Total Supply: 5,195,262,064
Current Supply: 4,997,507,466
Electroneum was created to simplify accessibility to Cryptocurrencies, it is powered by an App and is operated on it's own Blockchain. You can store, send, receive and even mine Electroneum through your smartphone. The purpose of Electroneum is to provide ease of access to the majority of the population, and as a gateway to the Cryptocurrency world. The smartphone mining of ETN is not actual mining, it is mining simulation, after keeping the app opened in the background of your phone, based on hardware specs, you will be rewarded ETN equal to the mining power of your smartphone as if it was actual mining, with a monthly cap of ETN equal to 30USD per account, so basically the app is just idle on your phone which does not consume any power or memory, but you can still mine through GPU just like Ethereum and many other coins, awesome!
Unfortunately, at the launch date of Electroneum on exchange websites with the App, Nov 1st, it was heavily attacked by hackers which brought all its servers down and rendered their online dashboard and the app useless. The only available ETN at the time was Electroneum that was GPU mined. I was one of the contributors, I could not log in and had my ETN stuck in my wallet more than a month.
There was a huge craze on social media with claims that it is a very successful scamcoin, the population of crybabies at the time increased by 10 fold and the market ran out of diapers. I did not worry too much since scamcoins usually provide a miserable Whitepaper and the team behind the coin is always unidentified. ** ScamCoin example at the end of this post
Electroneum kept all their social Media profiles updated with live videos from their offices, latest news and development to assure people that their funds are safe. They joined forces with HackerOne to amplify their security and successfully relaunched on December 13th, since then all is a good as new. The price of 1 ETN at the time of the ICO was 0.01 USD (1 Cent), raising one of the most successful ICOs of all time in total of 40 Mil USD.
The current price of ETN is around 0.16 $ (16 Cents), and could be found on Cryptopia.
I am not a financial adviser in any way or form, I could be just crazy.
Some of the listed Exchanges above have paused registration, I am sorry if you do not have an account on one of them, I hope you eventually get one before prices soar.
If this post has entertained you, Please Upvote, Resteem and Follow :)
Stay safe, stay Crypto, and may peace be with you.
** ScamCoin example PlexCoin, read the whitepaper and have a laugh, DO NOT REGISTER. You can use this as a reference of Identifying an actual scamcoin from the rest, where everything sounds too good to be true, but you do not know where the team lives or what restaurants they go to.
Thanks for your insight! I need to do some research on those coins, I have never heard of them. I am thinking Augur, Ethereum, Ripple, 0x, and QTUM will be good ones for 2018! Augur is currently going up even though everything is in the red because of Warren Buffet's recent comments..
Hello @arobb , Now that you have heard of them is the purpose of my blog, and hopefully you will be glad you did, I usually focus on underrated cryptocurrencies to help raise awareness and benefit the majority. Specially Ethereum and Ripple which are very well known and that is a good sign by itself. 0x and QTUM are probably more known in this post, keep in mind that 0x Coin is related to MANA coin I mentioned above since their developers are interconnected, I think they have the same advisers. Feel free to request any coins when I doubt! I will do my best to unwrap them for you :) Peace

Good stuff! Thanks for the reviews. I haven't heard of MANA but sounds very interesting. Will look further into it as well.
Hello, will try and post from this blog series every Tuesday about new 4 Crypto Coins, MANA is indeed great and I really recommend it, do your research and you wont regret it, I wish you the best :)
I love ELECTRONEUM
Your love is in the right place :) hahaha
Whats your view on Railblocks,its going to get listed on Binance.
Built on BlockLattice and not BlockChain for a change, in BlockLattice each account has its own blockchain. Transactions are quite different on a BlockLattice where the sender has to send the funds, and the receiver has to create a transaction for receiving funds. They don't have to be done at the same time, just whenever both sides are true then transaction will be processed. Basically transactions are Asynchronous so it should be instant to send and receive transactions without having to wait for other transactions waiting in line, like Bitcoin, or the Flea Market :)
Total supply of XRB is surprisingly low 133,248,290 . This would help the price reach much higher highs, I would assume in the 100s during this year if not a four digit number by late 2018.
I bought a small amount of XRB from Kucoin, it is available in BTC and ETH pairs. I wanted to send the XRB to the official WebWallet from Kucoin but received the following message from Kucoin:
Withdrawal of this asset is not available for now"
The wallet has a very simple and functional interface, unfortunately I could not test their transaction process due to disabled XRB withdrawals. I think RaiBlocks has a great potential, probably higher than many coins out there for this year, I would personally invest a large amount of what I can afford as soon as the whole transaction cycle is complete. But in the end, I am not a financial Adviser :)
I hope this answers your question, and for any other requests feel free to ask, May peace be With you.
Hello @shv2145, I will get back to you about RaiBlocks and post my view here within 24 hours :) thank you
Thank you, for the detailed response.
Good post ! Electroneum looks like a good project
thank you! Invest while it is cheap, and best wishes
Same to you brother ! Start following
Phuzz, have you looked at a coin that due to its longevity and scarcity actually merits to be checked out? Its called Diamond coins, been around for 4+ years (yes YEARS), it gives you 25% passive income YoY as long as youre staking the coin and its recently gained traction. It is the sleeping giant that will literally blow the roof or cook off a tank once it starts taking off. Check out my blog to get some idea why I even mention the coin. Best regards. Love the electroneum mention. Dr DMD
Thanks man, I checked your blog and followed :) DMD seems interesting, strange I never heard of it before, I will look more into it before investing, but so far so good for the sleeping giant .
@phuzz Thank you for your donation and kind words. Couldn't agree more with message you send me. You are showing one thing that will change world in the end...our support for each other. Cryptos and everything else are just details (sort of speak). Thanks so much!
Btw I see you have knowledge about cryptos. Can I ask you about eBoost(EBST), Is it any good? Thanks!
Hello @cmoljoe, no need to thank me, we just need the ripple effect of goodness to spread to this world, one day I might need someone to help me, you never know :) I just know that what goes around comes around, and nothing goes unnoticed.
eBoost (EBST)
I haven't looked much into it yet, but there are enough key factors that make this coin very interesting:
Runs on it's own BlockChain ✔
They did not need an ICO, so they are not in it for the money but solely for the service eBoost (EBST) asset provides ✔
Total supply is low with a current low market cap of 30.3 Million USD, in Crypto world this is ground zero ✔
As of today (January 10th of 2018) it is only listed on one exchange Bittrex, and EBST crew are very active so I would expect to see it on more exchanges soon which means green candles allover the charts ✔
eSports are one of the hottest trends of our current age, the revenue of eSports is growing at around 50% each year, with over 500 Million USD revenue in 2017, if EBST team stays solid with their asset it will grow parallel to the steadily growing and stable eSports market ✔
Popular eSports websites are already using EBST to reward their users ✔
The only minor limitation would be that it is also used as a betting coin, which is considered a form of gambling, and that is something a significant amount of countries consider illegal. In this case I do not know if the platform people betting on would be banned or the coin itself. Regardless, if you consider countries where this is legal, with their massive markets, it should be more than enough room for eBoost to grow including the points mentioned above.
I am not a financial Adviser, but I hope this answers your question, and for any other requests feel free to ask, May peace be With you :)
WOW What a detailed response. You are awsome dude, glad I came across you on Steemit. I had a lot of other crypto questions, but don't want to shoot it all at once, because you are not reply robot :D
Saw your other article 'Why no crypto?' I think we are on same wave lengths. Don't know will you agree with me on few articles I wrote few months ago (using only slow tablet), but I think you might be interested in reading them:
Anarchy and volutaryism are our only solutions
Myth of authority
You are either slave or anarchist
I am glad you requested a coin review :) it is also knowledge for me to know more about coins from other requests, so you can ask all you want, and I will hopefully reply with what I can through time.
I will definitely check your articles now and you will see my replies there :) Peace
For merchants, it is an amazing opportunity. Compared to Paypal, crypto has no credit card fees, no charge backs, no 'Oops, we decided to hold your cash for 3-12 months while we investigate something we can't disclose.'
This happened with me, Paypal had a sudden freeze on my account claiming that I should have asked them before getting the account involved in Cryptocurrencies. I have 260 USD in there being pickled that I could only access after 6 months from now.

I am very excited about the prospect of using cryptocurrency, not just as a money equivalent, but using it as a way to earn something as a result of doing some type of work.
