Which coin will be more valuable in 2018?

[Landonfisher]

G20 doesn't do anything that is not in their best (personal) interest.
Let's forget about the logic and benefits of cryptocurrencies.

Any crypto will dilute the competitiveness of their own currencies, whether it is the Dollar, the Euro or the Pound.

I'd like to know how much money they have invested in cryptos or how much 'campaign' money they received to make that decision.

I agreed with you. That's why some country banned crypto. How do you think the future of the crypto?

Sorry, could you explain it? I am really into what you said.

By QTM, nearly all cryptocurrencies are worthless.

The only ones that have a chance are one that are both price and account stable. Most cryptocurrencies are account stable, price unstable. No one has found a way to algorithmically provide both required conditions of stability, afaik.

Tether is a pegged cryptocurrency that sells supply for USD to keep the peg from going too high and vice versa. They claim to have something like $3 billion in USD reserves in banks.

If they're not lying about reserves as peggers are prone to do, it will survive the downturn better than most.

your thread is the proper way to introduce a new thread. it not only has a limited number of questions, but useful links. keep up the good work.

Except he didn't introduce any of the alt coins, so we don't know which ones are in the running...(or up and coming)

After 12 replies, nobody mentioned ETH, BCH, LTC etc. And that is what the thread topic is, not BTC's future.

Why I would think the blockchain is the future? The most important reason is decentralization. This will make the whole world become united "country", no currency wars again. I think this will be the trend of the world. However, this behavior will definitely shake each country's regime.

A bit off topic but I'll answer the OPs response as my ethics inform me to do so.

I used to take my wages in precious stones when I was an anti-poaching ranger in Africa to circumvent a certain African nations high taxes on bringing hard currency out for non-nationals. Tanzanite etc. was very good to me, fly home with scanner defying rocks in my pockets.

Cryptos are the same thing, except without limits so instead of 20-80k, it is your local warlord moving millions. And a few nice people buying weed or saving a few bucks on commissions.

It would be pleasant to think of a world without so many borders, I recall marveling watching a movie called Until the End of the World in which the protagonists traveled a seeming border-less Earth. Regrettably, people have not changed, they are still like the three year old screaming mine! mine! when another looks at their stuff. (in Spanish mio! mio!). When I moved to Colombia I though "mio" was a TV character my friend's kid said it so much.

The primary benefit to unregulated currency is to lawless people and groups.

Anyway, today thousands of kids will be trafficked with crypto instead of dollars or drugs and gems and the bad guys will do their other deals. Nothing good has been created.

If peeps don't like their government and don't believe in paying into the community pot as they deem that inefficient & wasteful.. well George Carlin had something to say about that.

I will answer the OP's question:

Tether. Unless it melts down due to fraud, it will stay breakeven, thus making the best return compared to Jan. 1st prices.

Generally all (most) cryptos move together and this fact doesn't bode well for "the technically most advanced will win" argument.

I prefer INT, from its website, it claimed that it has several good partners, like IBM, Huawei, IMECAS and son on. Besides, the technology behind INT is also creative and better.
I think INT will be a valuable coin in the future.

Thank you for explaining.
For me, it is weird..because they claim they have $3 billion USD...hard to believe it since Tether is a cryptocurency.

Crytpos are not going away. But most of the smaller ones will wash out IMO.

Bitcoin and a few other larger ones will evolve but I think governments will create their own crypto currencies........and it won't have anything to do with being progressive. It will be done to save money on production costs of normal currencies and to track your income and spending so they can tax us more.

BTC and others will be used by the rebellious types that don't want to conform , as well as drug traffickers and money launderers. But if they get much larger then the Exchanges will have to conform to standard banking regulations and SEC standards.

Cool, I like your points.
Because the blockchain has a huge value. If it can be used in other areas, and for sure, it can be used in currency areas.
So, I agree with you that governments will create their own crypto currencies.

Can I ask which coins do you still hold?
