      "body": "![mwat1.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSaT1M41L7ycB9mThtwZcJCnA1W6ZDJc86SLDdfojChfA/mwat1.png)\n\nAs usually in my reviews I will first present the very basic data about the project itself and then I will proceed to my pros and cons followed up by a short verdict. If you want to learn more about MWAT, head to the website (https://restartenergy.io/) as with this article I’m aiming only to review the project — for more complex description of its features please do your own research. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>The Basics</h1>\nStarting with the price and supply:\n\n![mwat2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVdgQiDpkp3r3ftLBdekRNDf7mZ83t21ZiVjj6nWizPDc/mwat2.png)\n\nAnd following that up with the details:\n\n![mwat3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcnEwbuzsrEEzoAHS2DtgLmeUvwRmTtPuRJ95jVNmqKp9/mwat3.png)\n\nI highly suggest reading the white paper available on the website to fully understand the points I will be making in the following parts of this article.\n\nWithout further ado — let’s begin!\n\n<h1>The Good</h1>\n\n* First of all — already working company with over 20M in estimated revenues from over 3k companies and 27k private customers using it (with new applications from all around the world coming in constantly). They are actively expanding to other markets and recently added several new team members with 4 blockchains devs among them (v. important step, more on it later). Head and shoulders above other ICOs that are gathering money on the basis of their whitepaper.\nRED Update #1: Restart Energy Expanding on All Fronts\n\nhttps://blog.restartenergy.io/red-update-1-restart-energy-expanding-on-all-fronts-41cc676d06b3?gi=b4fd49fca7dd\n\n* Token utility — one of the best utilities I’ve seen recently, with tokens being backed my real energy, instead of only being fuel to the whole platform. Their recently added renting system counters price volatility and brings more advantages to both companies and token holders (tokens will be available for renting in ETH instead of buying all the necessary MWAT supply at once in their Franchise model)\n\n![mwat4.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUPVCM4ZpWQMY9gQJn7drkm7dn8u832g9tnvRAGYN6Fyp/mwat4.png)\n![mwat5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUfMKBgkr9yoafbSYMgjA9r9H4j5m4NkCJhmW1zvankUZ/mwat5.png)\n\n* Alpha version of the platform is planned for the end of this month\n\n* Team’s good sides — I like the business core of the team — a lot of experience in their respective areas also from entrepreneurial POV. Good diversity of positions, well established fundamentals from Armand Group. Advisors are from very different branches, especially interesting is Mr. Sorin Ivan, a member of MEP for 9 years now. Can’t complain here, a really solid bunch.\n\n* I am generally bullish on blockchain in energy industry. It tackles monopolistic approach and definitely could be disrupted with the right system. That’s ofc outside of increasing renewable energy usage rate which would find its place in an open platform like this.\n\n* The team tries to please not only future clients/users but also traders. Refreshing to see that instead of “don’t buy this token for speculation purposes, it’s not meant to be an investment opportunity (hey sweetbridge)”. They are aware of price fluctuation and are looking for solutions that wouldn’t disrupt their system, and they are planning to do that without manipulating or pegging token price.\n\n* It’s still under the radar although community is not small. A lot of bagholders in there crying for news but the overall feel is good, they got solid support from current investors\n\n![mwat6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPRKihV5oYMBs5WJURUR4KvoQmuGXyWyQxoFBwUfJRaAw/mwat6.png)\n\n* Right now at 17M valuation — I expect this to AT LEAST match POWR marketcap (almost 10x from here) and probably exceed it in mid to long term. Same goes with WPR, there is no reason why it should currently be valued above MWAT imo\n\n* Although the technical roadmap could more detailed, they have an expansion plan in place\n\n![mwat7.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZv9FLuRdmzvs2H8CYumzFBCc9VwvNxatmbH83q9BF6GL/mwat7.png)\n\n* Not yet on any significant exchanges (biggest one if KuCoin)\n\n<h1>The Meh</h1>\n\n* Energy markets are probably more deregulated than people realize but overall regulations still pose a threat to clean expansion. WP’s analysis of world’s market is convincing but it’s nowhere near the advantage as they definitely will meet obstacles on their road to enter other markets.\n\n<h1>The Bad</h1>\n\n* Team’s bad sides — they are lacking more significant blockchain experience (from technical side). The current structure is good for their previous operations but with entering into this market I expect a little bit more than blockchain consultants in there. Good thing, as I’ve mentioned before, they are currently hiring new devs.\n\n* The competition — even tho they are the only decentralized platform already working, they will still have to compete with number of other companies both in crypto (once they roll out their products, also promising) as well as outside of it. It’s a tough market and I expect a lot of resistance before it opens up massively to a tech that new in comparison to how currently people are buying their energy.\n\n* The idea is really ambitious — I already am impressed by their results up to this date but they are still mostly working in their home country of Romania. Real challenges will start with expansion once the platform is up and running. Too many people take the idea for granted — it’s a very long-term project with the end goal of disrupting the industry. Nothing wrong with that, goals should be ambitious, just pointing out there are many risks of this meeting some reality checks as every other innovative company would.\n\n<h1>The Verdict</h1>\n\nI am having this as one of my “gems” for upcoming alt season because it’s simply severely undervalued. Both as a competitor to POWR WPR etc as well as a project overall. The sole fact of the company already bringing revenue, having steady partnerships and thousands of users should put this above majority of crypto projects (if crypto had any common sense, it doesn’t). I like the potential of the team, their current developments, its low cap and under the radar position. Most of the risks are associated with their further development so with no current red flags I am giving myself a green light to make this one of my bigger positions.\n\nCheers!\n\nDid you like this review?

      "body": "Trying to get the grip on that whole crypto thing? Not sure when to buy/sell or how to spot the next potential big gainer? There is a set of questions that every new person in crypto asks so for the sake of your learning curve and my limited time I’ve decided to answer of all them in this small paper.\n\nBefore we begin — **the following article presents my ways of trading and may differ from what other traders are doing.** This is not financial advice — I’m just showcasing methods that work for me, so as always DYOR and don’t follow blindly a dude pretending to be a monkey on twitter.\n\nThe article is divided by specific questions. If you are not interested in a certain topic just jump into the next one. In the end I will present some general tips and recommend certain traders to follow. Let’s begin!\n\n<h1>“When should I buy?”</h1>\nThe following question will be answered from the TA perspective, so it assumes you know at least some of the basics. To understand how to get good entries outside of TA or how to start learning it — stay withing the article, I’m talking about it in latter parts.\n\nBuying in crypto for me has 2 perspectives. The first one is based on market cycles. You probably recognize this one:\n\n![1.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeMx1gRmTJLmFQJkB19K4m8NoWa8xJUYLDuRtgx3LTjop/1.jpeg)\n\nWhen you look at the altcoin’s weekly or daily candles you will see a very similar pattern going on for most of them in 2017. A steady, sometimes rapid pump followed by a long-lasting downtrend and an accumulation zone going into another cycle. Good recent example of that is $LBC:\n\n![2.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZyV4iJoxwFeifJeQ45nwdBz42YyFWiDC4DvzGGZp49Zi/2.jpeg)\n*Looks familiar?*\n\nThe main goal in a year-long perspective is to accumulate around bottoms before the real altcoin cycles begin and get the profits once they reach their tops. The second part of the year usually goes by swing trades and new projects (that’s also where the ICOs did have their prime time this year).\n\n![3.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdGwTe4mKtmt693HjTWB1T1dCsHbSV4KHiKoh5DJkSXPA/3.jpeg)\n![4.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmf7G6y9cV3Mifk6CQvZ2Sc4vYbEqTYB6PFhCbSz8Dnfj8/4.jpeg)\n\nThe second perspective is when do we buy the coins before and inside of that cycle. A perfect set-up can have different meaning for everyone, as it depends on the time-frame and expected gains. When I am talking about a good entry I usually mean:\n\n* Support line inside a common pattern\n* Previous accumulation zone after completing the cycle, with a confirmation of a bottom\n* Breakout point or pullback on previous resistance\n\nThe following $ETC chart shows a lot of that here. Currently sitting on a support line inside a symmetrical triangle, very close to the all-time resistance line and is at the levels of accumulation zone from April. All that after double bottom trend reversal with high volume and bullish indicators. A very tasty bite.\n\n![5.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmePhYvEyo17ngZ1LL89yewSkPcxURnW1E4J2aFNcitPN5/5.jpeg)\n\nOn a smaller time frame we got A&E bottom that appeared on most of the alts during the previous month. Those bottoms may always look differently (triple bottom as you will see below with $POSW) so look for other indicators such as growing volume or HHHL (higher highs, higher lows) to confirm stronger reversal and start of the uptrend. This is basically the position you would like to place your bets on for the upcoming rallies.\n\n![6.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdXRX2TB6Q3ieu7JyxWRthCqPP6oiFfanjGtjG4eiRmUS/6.jpeg)\n\nWith $POSW we got multiple support retests and a long-term resistance trend line break through. That usually means a start of an accumulation zone where the price stays stable and smart money (future you) is accumulating for the upcoming rallies. When you look at the area before the spike — it returned to the same levels, showcasing once again how the cycles work. This one was especially bullish as $BTC was still going for its ATH.\n\n![7.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfGaWHoxS3ZxLfuvYuBJxnxZ6gpD5VX1sXdg4YQQQdgoD/7.jpeg)\n\nNot every chart is the same of course, so it’s always important to zoom out and look for similar patterns. Some cycles might be sped-up some may go slower but one of the main rules of TA is that history repeats itself. Example below — $DOT with its 3x spikes, currently on the move for its possibly 3rd attempt at that pattern.\n\n![8.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaujKGv6X9tBh7zK9otByf1aoxYrkCLXA5juU5dgKNXJs/8.jpeg)\n*Take a look how BBands got really squeezed each time before big movements*\n\nFor the shorter term entries, like in the example below — after the spike — I am always waiting for a pullback. Entering during a green dildo will not only give me a bad spot to set-up my stop-losses but also puts me in a direct risk of getting underwater with the buy before I evaluate my position. For entering inside a pullback I am using Fibs measured from the bottom to the top of the pump. The golden ratio that I am always looking at is 0.618 as seen in the examples below with $XEM and $ENG. Both of them went on pretty crazy runs afterwards, meaning that was the local bottom of a very strong uptrend.\n\n![9.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWA8HFbAuZUSRgG7wEaYjLnPZVGk8cgPi27Mp7MfhFzKg/9.jpeg)\n![10.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZeVnfeDMaXgQukDfKodgrzCbTye9oKRRDejHRsQBt17g/10.jpeg)\n\nAnother thing I am looking for in entries are retests of previous resistances. Usually after a strong breakout confirmed by a good volume the price comes back to retest a long-term trend line in order to bounce off of it. That’s a very bullish sign usually confirming start of the new uptrend, especially if it’s done on a bigger time frames. Recent examples — $VIA and $BCH.\n\n![11.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmfHt6SyPyqFUYAXDKpsniJmqsrCj74twWvFiRyYPvpU8v/11.jpeg)\n![12.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQcZr562Dq3g4DkDywxQgXe2HkevohfBURbSdrFJ5DuVw/12.jpeg)\n![13.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQTWd4pRtcNBnPAbwVPQBqK8uh5wpWPoAPLpiW9rfxX9H/13.jpeg)\n![14.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWsZyFFTtC498utgNsZicKk1ARrAjx4GSEJbwbTtUWPYn/14.jpeg)\n\nThere are of course dozens of other indicators that traders are using to pick up good entries such as Ichimoku cloud’s and EMA’s crosses but those topics are too broad to talk about them here. During the next parts of this article you will be presented with good TA materials to study so that you can find techniques that work best for you.\n\n<h1>“When should I sell?”</h1>\n\n![15.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQtov5KAkpfXh5fPb6Uy3UgGkSofncWkNnS7tfwuruQTk/15.jpeg)\n\nSelling depends highly on your style of trading — are you a day trader or an investor? You want some quick profits from the swings or you prefer holding the coins for maximum profit? The answer to both cases is actually pretty similar. Keep in mind that the following analysis is assuming that you know some of the TA basics — more info on how to start is available in the next parts of this article.\n\nGeneral rule — **I pick my exit points accordingly to previous key levels (local ATH, trendlines, strong supports etc) and fib levels.** I usually confirm the sell by analyzing RSI. Most of the time I hold the majority of the bag outside of my initial investment until I see a potential reversal signs, while taking some profits along the way.\n\nFinding an exit point in short-term is very similar to finding it long-term. The main difference is basically time frames that are being used. For very quick trades the best way to find a profitable swing is recognizing patterns such as ascending triangles, bull flags etc. Those are quick consolidation levels in a clear uptrend which have very predictable outcome levels. $LINK as the example below had a textbook triangle going on after a bigger spike.\n\n![16.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQvVHRmX3CP5CTREFZGJUioKELTTpyJb3XBN9eiKSNSeH/16.jpeg)\n![17.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQY93voNGwUSSeZoXQZHBpUxKm5eGvmb6Ac7dtmBA1xLF/17.jpeg)\n\nFor more general exit points I’m always looking at the bigger picture. Where is the next bigger resistance line (previous support turns into current resistance) or the next fib level. Keep in mind that it all should be in a clear uptrend, being bullish in an obvious downtrend is almost like an illness — don’t allow yourself to become a bulltard.\n\n![18.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQma8oJZ24AXisyRLx1rHGDeF8cXPg2KgQDPtWuRbRH6Stm/18.jpeg)\n\nKeep in mind that the road to the target is never that easy. There will be dozens of other small patterns in between which give more short-term opportunities. Take a look at the $NEO chart — the first target was the previous support and second one was the biggest resistance available, connected to the 1 fib level from the ATH. Simply holding will get you to the target but there were a lot of pullbacks and smaller flags along the way.\n\n![19.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeB1MwvTYanb7rE9Gnw7Y7f5dbWUGfVRK4yZ8cJSBaXkr/19.jpeg)\n![20.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVfEzbs6iKd7xaSoNVsSZFDmPDeiUiSymftEfZHHWgPSR/20.jpeg)\n\nThere are also cases of absolute tops after a parabolic movements like recent $XVG run. At those times more than TA I prefer to go with the market sentiment. During final pushes I’ve seen articles claiming that verge is going to be the next bitcoin and that’s outside of overall euphoria. The old golden rule fits perfectly here — buy the FUD, sell the greed. And God damn verge shillers got no shame when it comes to buying a coin which did x2000 $BTC-wise in less than a year.\n\n![21.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcPvrNxSFhwtGcL53DeP6evFzC6ZaRnpfm6yCWuVcu6Su/21.jpeg)\n*Goodbye old friend, you will not be missed*\n\n<h1>“How do I start with TA?”</h1>\n\nHere is the list of things that I think are more than enough to start learning TA:\n\nTechnical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John J. Murphy\n\nhttps://www.babypips.com/\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/carpenoctom\n\nAnd that’s literally it. Everything that you need to know can be taken out of those 3 sources. Once you get the basics you can start looking for some individual indicator tutorials on YouTube. Of course this is only theory — **to really start using TA you need to create your own charts from the first moment you grab that book/website. Try experimenting with different indicators, draw some scenarios and come back to see if they work.** Learn from other traders and see what works for them, because everybody got a different recipe for a good TA. Those are the twitter traders that I recommend, make sure to check them out:\n\n@MPovolotski @cryptowilson @cryptocred @crypto_loot @cryptoWalk3r @Crypto_Ed_NL @CryptoTutor @VentureCoinist @Beetcoin @CryptoDonAlt @galaxybtc @CarpeNoctom @CRYPTOBANGer @anambroid @Anbessa100\n\nNot much more to it than this. You have to put a lot of work in. Even if you do not want to chart yourself, you should get the basics to recognize and analyze work of other people. Small tip from myself — simple TA = better TA. Don’t over complicate it. I tend to only use trend lines and RSI, sometimes Ichimoku, BBands and EMAs.\n\n<h1>“What do you think about coin X?”</h1>\n\nThe most common question of them all. **When you are asking about a certain coin you should realize that me or every other trader must do the same work as you would if you did a research on it.** Check the recent price action, use cases, team, roadmap — everything. Even if you do not know the technology and TA that well — this is the way to finally learn it.\n\nSpeaking from the experience — my real gains started when I was finally able to find those undervalued coins by myself, before anybody started talking about them. That’s how I found $POWR in pre-ico and that’s how I did 30x on $XRB, 25x on $BCO and x15 on $XBY only recently. **If you are serious about staying in this space for long time then doing your own research and trusting it is the first step you should take.** Unless you want to end up like this guy (legit questions that I receive daily):\n\n![22.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeqFTbghTeV52ooKumfMCoZcatfDNRkpk8WcjWd962mS3/22.jpeg)\n\nUnderstand that getting a confirmation that a coin is good from your favorite trader doesn’t change anything about it. Even if somebody tells you it is great you still should be aware of its specifics, tech and people behind it. So cut the umbilical cord and start doing some research.\n\n<h1>“Which coins should I invest in?”</h1>\n\nThe ones that you think are going to grow from the moment you put your money in, till the moment you take it out.\n\n![23.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXqET5aYrbRQPEyYrYENNwB4mFYnLZQJzdrx894Wy1PcA/23.jpeg)\n\nDepending on your preference — as always — in the short term you could be looking at the coins that are having a pretty big release coming up (to look them up use http://coinmarketcal.com/). There is usually some FOMO leading to the event but remember that **news are always already priced-in in some way** — don’t take that growth for granted. For every other occasion you should be looking for coins that:\n\n1. Have good fundamentals (use cases, good team, low supply, USP)\n2. Have good looking charts (yet unpumped, not in a clear downtrend, during a pullback after a breakout)\n3. Are yet undiscovered by bigger audience (use $tags on twitter to see how many people are talking about them)\n\nIf you don’t have the time/don’t want (sigh…) to do your own research there are a lot of free/paid groups out there providing these kind of calls. If you are willing to put your money into somebody else’s pick — I can’t blame you, if the person knows its stuff then it might be highly profitable. **It gets trickier when the pick doesn’t work and the only person who lost on the bet is you.**\n\n![24.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQme3b7BWH9DszmfoZsV281BL2ypmWJEFmEq5uVzCjuHC3L/24.jpeg)\n*A must-have tool in your crypto-research toolkit*\n\nI’m going to go on a small rant here to actually answer that one. **Being spoon-fed is the cancer of crypto.** You should understand that there is a lot more to trading than just taking/buying the signals from successful traders. You should know what % of portfolio should go into each coin, how long do you want to hold it, how to set stop-losses on it, at what level should you take some profits from it or how to act when the market suddenly crashes. Every trader has a different strategy and risk tolerance. Nobody takes responsibility for a loss besides you so if you are going to invest your money in a coin be aware of all the other elements of trading before relying completely on some random twitter people (including me). **It’s all fun and games when you make money in the bull market — not so much when the pumps stop and you are left with sustaining the profit by yourself.**\n\n![25.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQa4toPcTx84KGqZ58rpUAY6xoxBeNzTgFoy3fLLLVrRm/25.jpeg)\n\nThe truth is most of the people having paid groups now (or even free call channels) were just like you few months ago. The difference is that they put in the work to learn the game and become self sustainable. Basically most of the calls from the groups could be found either for free or by research, but that would require time and learning from people who don’t want to do. If you have to join — join one that is teaching TA/FA. Nothing actually wrong in that — if there is a demand why not take advantage of it? Same goes the other way, as the groups can be really profitable for users if they really don’t have enough time to do research by themselves. But let’s be real, I’ve read way too many messages begging for tips to know how majority of this works.\n\nJust don’t be like this guy. Not asking for an advice on what to buy should go in pair with putting in work on your own.\n\n![26.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ7Qzc4o9MidipoXYFhzvpM5ehddzbt57kdBVo1FRhXQ2/26.jpeg)\n\nAnd if you do use other’s hard work — at least appreciate it, say thanks and maybe even throw a tip in there after a good trade. No wonder a lot of bigger traders are hesitant to help the newbies if all they do is demand.\n\n<h1>“What should I do with my alts when BTC is running?”</h1>\n\nFor the last few months people are consistently dumping alts when $BTC moons. At our current position (with alts starting their new uptrends and are generally bullish) I don’t mind holding through the dips. I treat that as a healthy correction before running even higher.\n\n![27.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUyq1Pv2uJ6h6XQbJg4fKeHLtz35v9yMMHtAvxPgAYmkT/27.jpeg)\n\nIf you are a day trader though, that’s a different story. It would be more logical to sell before all the dumps but the margin of error is small here. If you are not an experienced trader it’s actually pretty hard to get the timing right and more often than not it ends in something like this:\n\n![28.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXxzPama6jywCDuZGAhgjtuKD2zAXygDUoz6FFRNAfFd1/28.jpeg)\n*You would be surprised how many people do that*\n\nIt all comes down to your individual preferences. Sticking to your strategy is essential here, panicking is what will always get you rekt. First recent “blood” actually took my portfolio to 15% more gains, while other traders sold and increased their positions so there is no golden rule. The second one got me pretty rekt but still in great profits. Be aware however that the correlation might change in the future and we could see alts and $BTC mooning together. Best solution in between would be having some tight stop-losses on profits with signals but until we are that early into this altcoins cycle I’m not ready yet to sell any of my good entries.\n\n![28.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXxzPama6jywCDuZGAhgjtuKD2zAXygDUoz6FFRNAfFd1/28.jpeg)\n\n<h1>“Should I continue to hold?”</h1>\n\n![30.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbKpTMcnmGYSG9nNgvMbeLHzqMF4zetK1CgJbEdb3qjto/30.jpeg)\n\nWhat was your entry? Are you confident in the project? Did you enter for a swing trade or is it a long-term trade for you? There is too many individual questions to answer that one with a yes/no. Nobody can pull the trigger for you so before going into the trade try deciding on what kind of trade it is.\n\nIf you have a good entry level and believe in the project’s potential — hold for bigger gains, selling small amounts along the way.\n\n![31.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZThQevH8zeQ6YnrKyVJPDHB6MvSSrGLdxgqFqUwTFr7U/31.jpeg)\n\nIf you are not sure about the project’s direction and your position right now is shaky — set up some tight stop-losses. If it manages to run you will get some additional profit. If not — you always get some spare $BTC to buy the dip or move on to the next project.\n\nOnce again it all comes down to one thing — doing your own research and knowing when do you want to realize profits from that specific trade.\n\nOne more thing, essential one — $HODL is one of the worst advices I’ve heard in this space. **You never want to be underwater with your bag when it’s clear that it is beginning its downtrend.**\n\n![32.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmTLDCfqeMjVfQvWvyuTNVPqL7jmRZZXK51WTctdsRwUiB/32.png)\n\nCut your losers quickly, let your winners run — **holding makes sense when are in a very undervalued, under the radar gem. That’s how you maximize profits.** You wait till it reaches more people, gaining volume and value up from your very low entry. Holding doesn’t make sense when you are going down from a huge pump or the market is crashing with at best a chance to get even. Even if one day it recovers to the previous levels, you are missing out on a ton of trades that could’ve been done during the time of your holding.\n\n<h1>“How do I find a new gem?”</h1>\n\nLet’s make something clear from the start — finding a new, undervalued projects takes A LOT of time and effort. No other way around it. Since I’ve got 2 very good articles below this answer, I will only tell my quick ways how I am digging up new gems:\n\n* Coinmarketcap\n\nOpen up https://coinmarketcap.com/ and dig. Go to the Recently Added page and research every new coin daily. Go below top 400 and check. literally. every. coin. All the traders that find those gems on twitter are doing just that — spending long hours on studying coins that 99% of other people never heard of. Look if there is some recent volume appearing on them, if the project itself is legit and if there is anything coming up development-wise. It usually takes few good shills to get the under the radar gem flying across the twitter.\n\n![33.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYWWTqa4PvxeKxApHqz1wqmGReuYiqYpYqQkibY4kJXuP/33.jpeg)\n*Check the new coins daily — it usually takes some time before people realize their existence*\n\n* Twitter big profiles\n\nRecently there are more and more traders who ask for people’s bags. Take advantage of that and research every thread like this for the $tags that you never heard before. People with early entries like to promote their coins to the bigger profiles in hope of having them recognized.\n\n![h.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdBc2UB2bu5wTmq66M5ZirxfBjJHsHtvWqWf2Ph7H9hMy/h.jpeg)\n![j.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNQ3HvHkaU9rZkNnYC97JFZvSPWmVu7PsFDFdJk4Nod7T/j.jpeg)\n![k.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUJc5ve6P9WCHqtRtQYBvxWxuG2y227u4ybcPnBeCu1DT/k.jpeg)\n\n* Bitcointalk / New ANNs\n\nOpen up https://bitcointalk.org/ and go through the threads and all the newly added ANNs. You got here tons of shilling and basically every new project before it even hits CoinMarketCap. If you really want to be early in a project and watch it gain traction — that’s the way to do it. I would say that 90% of content there is not even readable because of all the trolling and pure stupidity, but hey — that’s crypto. Also check out ANN bot on twitter if you want to only focus on the new threads the second they appear on the forum.\n\n![35.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmeQ1iTkBbsmb9bZ231hzPsSdYr3TiJiGspfxcU2SpxW2k/35.jpeg)\n\nNow take a look at these 2 articles by @daytradernik and @crypto_rand. Very insightful stuff from 2 of the most successful traders out there.\n\nhttps://medium.com/@daytradernik/picking-out-microcaps-101-2215a5782691\n\nhttps://medium.com/@CarpeCrypto/apis-google-sheets-picking-out-microcaps-made-easy-c1e847371af2\n\nhttps://medium.com/@cryptorand/trading-tips-how-i-pick-low-cap-cryptocurrencies-a323c41239d8\n\n<h1>“Which coin is the next 100x?”</h1>\n\nThe one that you get when it’s not known yet and you hold it long enough to see these kind of gains. Sometimes it takes a month ($XRB), sometimes it takes years. Patience is the key to success here. Don’t FOMO into other coins if you want to catch those X’s\n\n![36.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmckt9cesaSmtA2dfoEVYFv6jEXwLrmBxkCYdhTBdBft1h/36.jpeg)\n*It often takes time to recognize good technology*\n\n<h1>“Is it too late to enter now?”</h1>\n\n![37.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdLfA6Gd779Q7sda66ai3sgBFPbTEBRsFinC8ardRzx4L/37.jpeg)\n\nOne of my main rules that I live by in crypto is to **never chase the pump**. If I miss a good entry on a coin I go to a different occasion as there are dozens of them daily. I understand that going into a coin that is pumping might be temping because of the quick gains but it’s actually the opposite of it. The point here is to get an entry before the coin gets recognition, not in the middle of the growth. Going after a green dildo because of FOMO or whatever other reason is connected to a lot of risk outside of having a very bad entry, which has bigger consequences than just smaller gains (vulnerable for volatility, no way of setting normal stop-losses).\n\n![38.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmW2tJVYXHrwBPL58nX83QMhRduREPZ37aPEj9zRarqkra/38.jpeg)\n\nThere is a reason why all the good traders are trying to buy the dips for the few weeks before altcoin cycle starts and not after they’ve already launched. So is it too late to enter now? Most of the times you are asking this— yes. **Wait for the pullback if you want to enter.** Especially if you really like the project for long-term and this might be the last chance to catch it at lower levels (after a big announcement). You got at least few new coins added daily and dozens of them shilled by twitter every hour. You got ICOs, new announcements for older coins, rumored partnerships and hundreds of other events basically everyday.\n\nAnd you are going to leave your X00% potential position for a 30% pump?\n\n<h1>“How much should I sell after my coin pumps?”</h1>\n\nThat’s a very individual case. I like to sell my initial investment after I feel the first initial pump is done. It may mean going 50/100/200 or even 1000%, it all depends on a project. It is preferable to sell some amounts, even small ones, along the way to always have some spare $BTC to buy the dips.\n\nAlso — don’t be afraid to sell most of the coins when the time is right — there is a reason why so many people are making fun of $DGB bagholders. Consider leaving some of the coins for some future pumps though — it eases your mind that you are not missing out when it pumps again. I usually leave around 10% of my total bag.\n\n<h1>“How do I manage my risk better?”</h1>\n\nWhen I say that there is much more to trading then just buying low, selling high I usually mean risk management. It’s very easy to ride the pumps but very hard to keep the profits when the market goes into the downtrend. I could divide risk management into 2 main parts:\n\n1 Keeping your coins safe. That means not using exchanges as your wallet, always having 2FA on, never sharing your private keys, using hardware wallet etc. There is a person much better oriented in that then me and basically anybody else on the planet so I will let @notsofast talk here:\n\nhttps://steemit.com/bitcoin/@notsofast/4-ways-to-secure-your-bags-bitcoin-altcoins-cryptoasset-tokens-whatever-a-notsofast-security-primer\n\n2 Second part is managing your risks while trading. Those rules may differ for every trader but I will say what works for me and keeps me sane at all times:\n\n* Always have some free $BTC lying around. This allows you to buy the dips, enter sudden occasions and is generally healthy for the portfolio’s growth as the whole market trades in $BTC pairs and all alts usually dip at once during $BTC rallies.\n* Diversify your portfolio. You never want to be stuck with all your money in 1 or 2 project (unless it’s $BTC or $ETH). * Having bigger amount of coins lowers your overall risk and no coin in crypto is a sure-fire bet to never suddenly crash. A good example by @needacoin — while having 10 bags you only need 1 of them to go 10x to be even when every other trade literally goes to 0. One or two winners can cover-up for overall terrible day for all your other positions. Of course try not to over-diversify —lowering your risk also lowers your profitability. You are here to make money, not to catch all the pumps with 5$ bills.\n* Always set-up stop-losses. People that say they never work and trigger all the time making them lose money usually are the people who enter in terrible spots. The point of stop-losses is to put them below important support lines, so that when they trigger you can be sure the downfall will be even stronger than the level your order got filled. Setting a 10% stop-loss after entering the middle of a green candle makes as much sense as the recent $ADA growth. There is no point in staying underwater with your bag if you can buy it back lower or enjoy the ride with $BTC while it destroys other alts. Just remember to set the alarms when the target is hit.\n* Don’t put the majority of your portfolio in very low caps. This one if for the people who want to have a steady growth and not gamble with 90% of their stash on shitcoins. The smaller a coin is the more volatile it is. I am trying usually to put a very low % of my portfolio in lower-cap and let it become a bigger position with time due to its growth. Shitcoins are vulnerable to manipulation and often have problems with liquidity so try allocating your $BTC accordingly to the level of risk a coin represents.\n* Take profits on the way up. That’s a healthy way of increasing your $BTC amount and it gives you more flexibility on the next moves. It would also hurt less if you don’t manage to sell the coins at the top, which doesn’t happen a lot anyway.\n\n<h1>General tips</h1>\nLearn the game. **Like really, don’t be lazy and start studying the space.** No success will come for you in the long-term unless you learn TA and FA by yourself.\n\nWhen you’re looking at the coin — look at the $BTC value. **Use USD charts to help you with deciding on an entry but the name of the game is still obtaining as much $BTC as possible.** There is a reason why holding $BTC from June to November was more profitable than 95% of alts during that period (they held their USD value, incredible).\n\n**Don’t get trapped into twitter shilling a coin, you always want to be invested in one before everyone starts talking about it.** Most of the talk is done because people are holding the coin already and what to increase it’s value.\n\n**Don’t fall in love with your coin** — have the balls to sell it when the time is right, even if it doesn’t make sense fundamentally for it to start a downtrend. Market cycles live their own lives and you are here to make profit first.\n\n**Don’t fall for big accounts shilling ref links to Bitmex.** Unless you really know your stuff you shouldn’t be playing high leverage. That’s basically gambling without good TA skills.\n\n**Understand that you cannot get all the pumps.** There are dozens of them daily and that FOMO feeling is even worse because everybody is talking about the pump on twitter. Turn that off. If not today, they will shill your bag tomorrow.\n\nSet up your own strategy. **Every trader is different and it makes no sense to follow somebody with a different risk tolerance levels are basically game style (swing traders/investor etc).** Decide on what’s important to you and model your game around that.\n\nIf you want to enter into a pumping coin — at least wait for the pullback, never jump straight out into it. That’s a recipe for a disaster 95% of the time. **Treat it like poker — you always want to make a right play, not the most profitable one.**\n\n**Always watch $BTC when trading alts.** $BTC is the king and right now he decides what is going to happen. Are we sideways and mooning or are we mooning and dipping alts?\n\nAlways have some spare $BTC to buy the dips and keep flexibility. **I would never recommend being 100% in alts, the market is too volatile.** Keep your options open.\n\n**Always sell some profits on the way up to keep diversifying portfolio.** It’s better to look for another 10x than keep all the money in something that already pumped. Also the risk is lower.\n\n**Always set stop-losses.** If you have good entries they will not get triggered like most of the people say. It will allow you to have liquidity and never be underwater.\n\n**Be humble — don’t think you’re a god cause you caught a really good pump.** Even a monkey can catch a 10x at the right time. Never stop learning and understand that it’s the profit’s sustaining that is hard — not making it.\n\nGood entry is more important than catching a pump. You have a lot more flexibility when you enter in a good spot, not forcing you to sell quickly to avoid a loss. It keeps your options open.\n\n**Don’t be afraid to take profits.** That applies to taking profits on the way up to diversify with new coins or taking profits from everything once the moment is right (alt season done, market crashing, big events in general). Don’t fall in love in your investment, that will bring you down with it.\n\nNever put too much into a risky coin. **Bigger profitability might be tempting but keeping your portfolio stable and your head cool is more important than some additional %.** Smaller coins are easily manipulated so you never want to expose yourself too much to such risks.\n\n**Never invest more than you can lose.** That’s obvious but many people still are too greedy to get easy gains. I’ve received my share of “help me” messages to know that’s true.\n\n**Learn the basics of TA to know when to buy and when to sell, it’s essential.** No single article like this will give you that — you have to put in your own time.\n\n**Appreciate the work other people do.** Traders here are spending hours doing research and sharing it for free for others to have it without basically any effort. Say thanks, tip them, don’t demand more.\n\n<h1>Recommended crypto traders</h1>\n\nOutside of the TA masters that I recommended in the previous question you should also take a look at these:\n\n@ThisIsNuse @bitcoin_dad @Sicarious_ @FatihSK87 @AceOfWallStreet @cryptomocho @SilverBulletBTC @needacoin @daytradernik @MagUra_Crypto @AngeloBTC @VerthagOG @cryptopicasso @ZeusZissou @crypto_birb @Crypto_Brahma @tehMoonwalker\n\nSpecial follow — @notsofast.

Since the write-up was done already some time ago, be aware not all points might be as valid as they were during the time of creating those reviews. As always please DYOR on the projects before reading to fully understand the points I will be making. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>Matrix AI</h1>\n\n**Matrix AI — https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/matrix-ai-network/**\n\nVery quick description first — it’s basically a new generation of blockchain, which allows you to create smart contracts in your own language (simple English instead of necessary programming skills), is freaking fast (supposedly 1M TPS) and has a AI-enchanted security measures. And it’s fork-free. A lot of goodies here, maybe even too many — let’s get deeper into this.\n\n**Pros:**\n• The tech itself, if working, would currently be the best blockchain platform on a market by a long shot (cause of the reasons mentioned above, not going to go into details (that would take 3 paragraphs), it’s simply crushing current competition).\n• The founding team members behind the project have the credentials to deliver (specialized in machine learning, huge experience in both software and hardware design, good diversification of roles)\n• Company already received a lot of backing from venture capitals (Torque, F&H are very nice hits), they got the resources to meet their roadmap goals. Partnerships with Hyperledger and supposedly One Belt One Road also do not hurt.\n• Not under the radar anymore, but limited greatly to IDEX, with more exchanges incoming in March. Gets the traction that still has room to affect to price even more. \n• This is one of those Chinese projects that is not retarded socially and can actually communicate with community and give updates. It’s a big plus if they want to keep up the hype during the long process of development.\n\n**Meh:**\n• Currently there is 250M total supply and 150M circulating because MAN doesn’t have its own chain yet. Before March 2019 there will be an additional sale of 200M and 400M created for miners rewards — it shouldn’t have a huge effect on the price but that’s hard to tell right now. The supply will increase to 1B and the swap will be made on 1:1 basis.\n\n**Cons:**\n• The development plan is ridiculously long — part of the net will be up in September but the main system doesn’t start till spring 2019 — with a lot of projects coming in daily and already developing DApps and real-world partnerships a lot can change during that period. The valuation of Matrix will be held down until it can show real results. I would expect a ride in upcoming weeks with new exchanges etc but the mid-term hold points out at consolidation. The competition doesn’t sleep.\n• As great as everything sounds — the proposed tech remains pure speculation as no project was able to reach 1M TPS yet (on-chain!) and we are yet to see any really successful AI-implemented idea in crypto. As of right now — it’s a word salad to me. The technical paper has some substance to it but that’s still not enough to justify any higher marketcap until they prove they can really deliver on, in my opinion, overblown promises.\n\n**Verdict:** I am accumulating a bit of $MAN right now but I am not falling on love with this bag. My plan would be probably to ride out the recent news wave and then reevaluate on further holding depending on their midway development. Not every project can be like $ADA and fly with only WP to show. I want them to prove me, and basically whole crypto, wrong by showing they are able to deliver the kind of innovation that they propose.\n\n<h1>CargoX</h1>\n\n**AChain $ACT — https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/achain/**\n \nI will be honest — it was hard for me to find any drastic flaws outside of the industry itself, I really feel that this project could make some noise. I am not overly bullish on the current team and their chances to suddenly disrupt whole logistics market but the pieces that are here right now should allow them to slowly achieve their goals, step by step. Let’s get into it:\n\n**Pros:**\n• They are targeting a very cool niche of B/L issuance. They are not trying to solve world’s hunger here but the problem really exists and is worth targeting due to huge market. They are dealing with a legit (B2B) issue which is kind of rare among recent ICOs which offer more of a luxury solution for not so urgent problems. There are substitutes to CXO’s proposition but blockchain just makes more sense (security, speed, lower cost).\n• They have a good business understanding — they know how they can differ from their competition (crypto and non-crypto), they understand the need to make the platform as easy to use as possible for their customers (no need for blockchain experience), and they have a gradual approach to the market (don’t do everything at once, success at their first target (sea freight) and then expand). They are also not rushing anything or going for cheap ways of increasing token value if they do not need to (no burning, buyback etc). Token utility is good enough to keep the rational approach here.\n• The team is not greedy. They only raised 7M in the ICO as that’s how much they need to develop the platform according to their calculations. Show me any other example of ICO like this while trading platforms are raising 30M for not even having MVP in place.\n• They already have test customers and first shipment is set to depart this Q. Not a working product yet tho.\n• It’s a spin-off and partner to already existing 45HC company (also created by the owner and few other members of CXO). That’s certainly not a huge deal as they have roughly 200 customers, but they have business connections in place so that’s at least some foundation that they can continue working on. \n• The team is fine, not perfect — some of them are still involved with different projects and their experience, although sufficient, doesn’t impress as much as some other top-level ICO teams out there. But since they are taking gradual approach — they have enough skills, experience, market understanding and diversity (developers, marketing, business development — everything in place) among them that I don’t see why they wouldn’t deliver the product and expand going forward.\n• This is still under the radar. Below 15M marketcap, low price (10 cents) with circulating supply of 130M. They are also really active — having constant business meetings, appearing in media, hiring new people, giving regular updates. Their actions will not go unnoticed for long especially with more partnerships rumored.\n\n**Meh:**\n• There is already a lot of competition on the market with $ven, $ship incoming and bunch of others. I wouldn’t call them a threat at this stage as their offer is a lot wider than what $cxo is planning to do currently but going forward the saturation of the market might pose a problem to further expansion, depending which way CXO decides to go.\n• WP could be more technical to show their approach to the tech side of the project but since MVP is just around the corner I don’t feel it’s that serious of a concern.\n\n**Cons:**\n• Basically, as the whole concept is fairly simple, the main success depends on them getting some real partnerships in place, which has not exactly happened yet (outside of that one big test partner and MakerDAO). It could take some time before marketing kick-off and they admit themselves there are no funds in place for that (straight from their WP SWOT analysis)\n• It’s the same issue as with any other more serious project — is the industry ready to adopt blockchain? Logistics are indeed a pretty tough industry to implement big innovations so that could pose a big problem to overcome.\n• Their previous main project 45HC doesn’t really spark strong confidence especially with those high barriers of entry although I will be fair and say it started as a small startup (still is) so there shouldn’t be huge expectations from it.\n\n**Verdict:** I’ve already accumulation a nice amount of it and I continue to do as as the price continues to find its ground.\n\nDid you like this review?

      "body": "![hacken.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmdT3CsS6b1cGdzwfmVabNZueHyLyG2d9karGSScSix3ye/hacken.png)\n\nIn the following article I am presenting my smaller reviews of $HKN and $ACT — they were too short to feature them in a solo post. Since the write-up was done already some time ago, be aware not all points might be as valid as they were during the time of creating those reviews. As always please DYOR on the projects before reading to fully understand the points I will be making. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>Hacken</h1>\n\nWe are starting with Hacken, a cybersecurity marketplace — https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/hacken/\n \n**Pros:**\n- Cyber security is a hot topic, especially with a lot of attacks on recent ICOs. That kind of service is a growing need not only in crypto.\n -Not much crypto competition yet — Quantstamp does only the smart contract auditing part and PolySwarm can be working alongside Hacken. \n -They are already working with some partners (SingularityNET or Legolas as some of the examples, over 16 overall) and the list is growing quickly. Good adoption among the crypto scene\n- The company is growing rapidly, hiring new people and showcasing revenue. And that’s outside of overall solid team with a lot of background experience in security industry.\n- Partnerships with exchanges can put HKN token in front of the line to getting listed\n- There isn’t much hype about the project — which is good since it’s already on the market and allows you to snatch it before it picks up more traction\n- Low marketcap and supply\n \n**Meh:**\n- The platform is heavily focused around HKN Token and it makes it work, but outside of the burning program, the whole marketplace could’ve been working on any other currency and it wouldn’t change a thing.\n- Success will highly depend on their ability to attract users on the platform — I couldn’t find details how they are planning to solve their marketing\n \n**Cons:**\n- They are really trying to do a lot of different stuff (penetration testing, audit, anti phishing, accelerator program, HackIT, analytics center etc) and they didn’t reach their target in the ICO. Some parts of their ecosystem are close to being done but overall view on their development map is still long-term and remains very ambitious.\n- A lot of processes, even including HackenProof are centralized and directly involve the team doing the work. That raises a regular question of scalability of the project in all of its created areas and puts it on direct competition with non-blockchain companies (with a lot more money and more stable foundations available).\n \n**Verdict:**\n\nI will be trying to snatch some of it, especially that I’m hearing crypto goldenboy Suppoman is about to shill it (unfortunately). I am not sold out completely on them realizing all their goals, as that whole ecosystem would be ridiculous (ridiculously good), and the main innovation is the marketplace — I feel there is another USP lacking here to secure their top position with undoubtedly more projects incoming into this market in the future. But yes, it is undervalued as of right now.\n\n<h1>Achain</h1>\n\nAChain $ACT — https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/achain/\n \n- Basically it’s a NEO/ETH competitor, also from China, that has been somewhat under the radar for some time now. It’s in development since 2015, going nicely with their road-map, team is filled with developers. There are no huge personalities in there but they provide constant updates, team is well diversified and well, they have a working platform already that grows, so I can put my money on their plans going forward.\n\n- Very important thing — it’s definetely a long-term hold and not a swing trade. It’s mostly due to their forking network (more on this later) and current development stage — they are pretty far, it’s not a project that will grow on speculation but on now recognition and further development alone. Steady growth.\n\n- 300M circulating supply and 125M marketcap — even catching up to NEO would take this up to 6000% of growth — but I wouldn’t count on it. I wouldn’t generally count on similar projects to chase the biggest players just because they offer same stuff. There must a big innovation in order to close that gap.\n\n- The tech is good — 1000 TPS (same as NEO) and supports, outside of Lua language, Java and C++. More languages are planned for the future. Their main USP is forking network — basically they are offering others a chance to fork their blockchain with all the forks being connected by VEP (Value Exchange Protocol) creating a whole ecosystem that anables cross-chain communication. In simpler words — forked project do not live their own life but are part of the bigger network which can interact between each other. What should be important for investors in this is that everytime a fork is being done, the holders of $ACT are getting free coins off the forked project, so basically free money. It would be vulnerable to pumps&dumps with bigger projects coming up ($NXY, $ETC cases) but for longterm holders that got $ACT at the low price it’s a very attractive opportunity.\n\n- They currently have 10 Dapps and 30 contracts overall on the platform, including popular lately PundiX. Generally they are no way not on par with their main competitors of NEO and ETH in that regards (which builded a whole ecosystem already) but with growing exposure it might attract bigger players willing to create on their platform.\n\n- Chart is surprisingly cool during current shitstorm. It had a very smooth first run-up with retracement to 0.786 fib and is now consolidating at stable levels. BB squeezing, everything looks prime to start going up when other KuCoin stuff also wakes up.\n\n- I can see how it’s easy to like this project as the value it offers is not much behind its current competitors (speaking only about the tech), but I can’t see how can it really become a significant player with projects like $MAN coming into the space, providing much better and innovative USP than forking network. With NEO as the Chinese competitor and much better ecosystem created in there already (which means instant partnerships as 1 opportunity) I can’t see this having an upper hand being behind business-wise. It’s still a good project, undervalued for what it currently offers, but I wouldn’t call it NEO killer or the next 100x. It’s a quality that will probably be appreciated by the market but not FOMOed.\n \nSo as the final **verdict **— carefully good longterm hold.\n\nDid you like this review?

      "body": "![ico.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmQ8L4njkQrYN2QwuLw6Gr6ymcNc4kvzUQjmsQ8bRS4BVu/ico.png)\n\nIn the following article I am presenting you all the ICO reviews I have done so far on my Telegram channel. Those write-ups are complementary to my ICO sheet that can be found here (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14AObHSGXZ1OaE-hCRCXXhAq3rw3UoHYFnJKpVCNHjZA/edit#gid=0). Since they were created during the time of the ICO running, some of the points here might not be as valid as they were during that period. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>Kryll — https://kryll.io/</h1>\n\nAlright folks I present you one of the worst-graded ICOs so far — heavy shilled Kryll. I tried to stay as objective as I can although it was not easy (they got a freaking CryptoProfessor as their ambassador — dude is going to give signals based on depth charts I guess)\n\n**Pros:**\n• Legit company from France — no way this is a scam in any way. Worked together on different projects already. \n• Team is not supreme — but I am giving grades accordingly to the project and this squad I believe can deliver the product. They’ve created similar smaller projects in the past and are in the industry for some time already. Worked together before and have the experience of trading among them.\n• The idea itself is good — there is a need for an automated tool like this even tho I think the model they are currently proposing is too simple to cover their goal of becoming a main strategy building tool for traders.\n\n**Meh:**\n• Competition in this space is huge already and market, even if growing, is not that big to justify such a simple bot having huge valuation\n• The hype and community is small outside of big profiles shilling it (thanks to ref-links or paid promotion)\n• They are using retweeting bots on twitter, the numbers there are fake.\n• They’ve listed Bittrex as the exchange they will be trying to get right after the Token sale. Many ICOs do this, it’s a cheap way of creating hype. Not a biggie, but worth noting.\n\n**Cons:**\n• This project does not need blockchain. I could finish just with that but let’s go further.\n• Token has no real utility. Payments and rewards on the platform could’ve been bypassed with fiat money, and so they admit themselves that the token is used for crowdsale and trading on the exchanges. “Fuel” for the platform is not the utility if the platform could’ve been made without usage of blockchain.\n• Their whitepaper is not detailed at all, there is no business side to it, more like overall explanation of the platform with ¾ of illustrations. Appealing to the eye but leaving a lot of unanswered questions. Technical part of it doesn’t exist, the “Business Plan” takes about 1/3 of a page.\n• Roadmap not really detailed and shows really long development — full version in 2019 (!), alpha in summer of this year. Early prototype in March. Quite a lot of money they are getting for a not working, and honestly not that complex, platform.\n\n**Verdict:** Not investing, not even touching it until I see the platform really developed and working. Don’t let the “Yeah I got paid for promoting but I also really like the project” comments from twitter guys fool you — there are way better ICOs out there currently. Off to the next one.\n\n<h1>PolySwarm — https://polyswarm.io/</h1>\n\nPolySwarm is a very unique project as it stands alone in its industry right now (Hacken has different targets). I feel confident in the team’s competence to deliver their product, although it should expand going forward, but I don’t feel like current ICO market and proposed conditions make this a good short-term investment.\n\n**Pros:**\n• They are not really competing with other antivirus companies — they are inviting them on their platform. Gives them a lot of potential and no real direct competition, the product is unique\n• Huge growing market that is waiting to be disrupted and it’s especially good as it’s aiming skills shortage (one of the most burning problems going forward)\n• The team have really strong background in their respective fields. Not gonna lie, very “geeky” squad from the overall feel but that’s was kinda expected. The core has been working together previously. Not a very big squad with hiring new people not a priority (as heard on their telegram), but competent enough at this point to deliver first versions of the product\n• Advisors that can actually help, not only shine with their names\n\n**Meh:**\n• There were some concerns about them trying to have a token price controlled in some way to limit volatility but it seems that they won’t be doing anything that drastic (answer to the convo below, although at the last AMA the team was not set on their choice on how to deal with it)\n\n**Cons:**\n• Cap is big (50M) and hype is only so-so. The bonuses on presale were quite big (average 46%) so I’m pretty sure I will be able to snatch it later on the exchange for a good price especially with ICOs being a little bit cold right now\n• Supply is yet unknown (depends on the ICO) but it’s projected around 2 Billion. Price is kind of good for that number tho.\n• We will have to wait till the end of April for MVP. The code is transparent right now but it still feels like a long time for the amount of money they are trying to gather.\n• If I’m not mistaken the system that is proposed will be very effective but not as fast as normal antiviruses — the time between sending the infected file to experts and receiving the feedback would be a lot longer than simply scanning it with antivirus. That’s a flaw regarding more dangerous files. I’ve asked that question to the telegram — as soon I get my answer I will update this.\n\n**Verdict:**It’s a great project with a bright future in the industry that would benefit greatly from that kind of platform, but I don’t feel ICO at this moment would a good investment. The cap is big, MVP is still over 2 months away from now and the current ICO market just doesn’t encourage me to invest in every single sound project. I will be trying to catch this one on the exchange.\n\n<h1>Friendz — https://friendz.io/</h1>\n\nFriendz ICO is probably one of the better projects I’ve reviewed up to this moment. There are tons of marketing coins and ICOs out there, but Friendz got the best approach I’ve seen so far with very good understanding of the industry. They are targeting influencer marketing which will continue to gain importance with normal advertising not being that efficient anymore. My main background is in digital marketing and I could see this app become pretty massive actually.\n\n**Pros:**\n• Already working, successful company bringing revenue with an idea that works and has a high chance of going mainstream (if it’s not knocking on that door already)\n• I can go understand comments that the team is young and not very experienced (at least most of them) but they deliver. They are well diversified, got developers, marketing, business operations — solid bunch that will continue to expand. This is first such big project for the core team but I like what I’m seeing from their interviews — they seem as competent as fun. Normally would be a 3 but since the point is not to create but to expand — I am judging on their current work.\n• Best presentation I’ve seen in any ICO hands down. Great analysis on the market, very good understanding of it, full transparency.\n\n**Meh:**\n• Numbers say that the community is huge but that’s not really the case. A lot of people are using the app — not so many are getting into interaction with their socials. There is actually not much hype here for a highest rated ICO on ICO Bench.\n• Road map is too simple, whitepaper says a lot about what they want to implement in the future but I would like to have that more detailed within the timeline\n• I would like to see more significant partnerships\n• The main advantage is from being the first mover — not because of the idea itself. But adoption in that market is a huge deal so I can go with it (that’s why idea is 4 and not 5)\n\n**Cons:**\n• I don’t see advisors helping them in any way outside of ICO creation\n• Hard cap is big (50M)\n• Big supply (1,5B) although unsold coins will be burned\n• As Monk mentioned — it will be probably considered a security because of the buy-back program\n\n**Verdict:** I will be investing a bit in Power Hour and depending on how many coins will get sold in there (the more the better) I might chip in a bit more in that 20% bonus phase. I like the project, or I should rather say the company. Long hold for me.\n\n<h1>Sharder — http://sharder.org/</h1>\n\nThis next review went out a little differently then I wanted — and comparing to other twitter profiles shilling it, I am not that bullish on Sharder. Quick note before reading — I don’t speak Chinese so the research was done with everything that was available. Big thanks to @PittRio for helping me with Chinese technical paper and to @Bit_xan for providing me with all the resources. And stay off my ass cause I’m about to talk crap about your new 100x\n\n**The good:**\n• Idea sounds fresh and the project in theory provides more value than current competition can.\n• The ICO conditions are simply great with 250M circulating and 500M total supply for 0,035$ token price and only 10000ETH cap. Possibly instant profit from the ICO\n• Fine partnerships\n• The alpha of Bean Cloud is supposed to come out this month with Sharder Chain’ beta coming out in April. Mining in closed beta.\n\n**The bad:**\n• No team members have their face behind sharder. Their LinkedIn profiles never mention Sharder, most of the people are still working at other companies or do not have any info at all. \nhttps://medium.com/@GalaxyeSolution/ges-and-sharder-the-journey-and-the-fud-fa4acdab47f1 — this is the actually only time where I see some info and pics on the team ouside of whitepaper. And that’s coming from the dude from cooperating company, not from Sharder’s team (the same dude is answering questions for the team since they are unavailable for a week). :arrow_right: I mean wtf, I understand it’s a chinese project, these guys are “technical” and those are early stages but if you are raising 10M dollars globally for a piece of terrible website and still promises I demand every piece of available information on plate with full transparency. I’ve seen honest scams doing better job and these guys are planning to be a multi-million $ company. :arrow_left:\n• Even if I would go only by the description in the whitepaper — the team is still not that strong as everyone says. Core is meh with no serious entrepreneurial successes in the past and the rest of the squad is as generic as it can get. For 5 marketing guys with “experience in various successful projects” they are doing pretty lousy job.\n• Community is non-existent outside of few people shouting “When moon” and the team is not active either. Project is gaining more traction now tho so I would observe closely if anything changes.\n• Although the end goal for the idea might be worth X00 millions, I am not really that confident in the team reaching it that quickly. By the words of my favorite FA guy @cryptic_monk -\n\nCryptic Monk, [16.02.18 13:46]\nHe launched this “Conch Chain” business blockchain project only a few months ago\n\nCryptic Monk, [16.02.18 13:46]\nand now somehow tries to merge it into sharder\n\nCryptic Monk, [16.02.18 13:48]\nI have very closely observed Storj, it took them years to implement what they have now (Kademlia based storage system with reward on blockchain), it’s at the very least unlikely that the Sharder team can build something like this, plus make it crosschain compatible, plus integrate ZKSnarks, plus integrate a Filecoin-type proof system etc. etc.\n\nCryptic Monk, [16.02.18 13:49]\nall within one quarter\n\n**The “so what now?”:**\n• This is one of those small Chinese projects not giving a damn about, well, basically anything outside of slowly working on their stuff. Their communication and presentation is unacceptable, lack of transparency would be screaming for scam if this was any other project (I actually still have my concerns, I will be watching closely their change of approach before the ICO). The only thing saving it right now are stellar ICO conditions — if it manages to get more traction I might enter for a quick flip and decide on longer hold when I see some confidence in them delivering the product and finally starting to act like a normal business and not a high school project taking advantage of noobs in crypto.\n\n<h1>TraDove — https://bbcoin.tradove.com/</h1>\n\nTraDove — weak presentation with really lackluster whitepaper and pretty bad ICO conditions (52M cap, high token price of 0.16$ with 1 billion supply and sale going pretty slowly) overshadowed by really strong team and advisors. Product already working for a few years now and B2B platform idea also seems to have some realistic potential of working mainstream. Project’s roadmap and development points at longterm investment, that’s why I will be trying to catch it on the exchanges.\n\n<h1>BlockEx — https://www.blockexmarkets.com/</h1>\n\nBlockEx — Digital Assets Exchange that will be mainly focusing on ICOs, providing presale spots on the platform (overall hot topic recently). Success depends mainly on type of projects they will be able to get on board. Team is solid, everybody got good background in their specific areas, advisors are diversified — overall big, competent bunch that surely can deliver their product. The ICO conditions are meh, cap is pretty big and there is absolutely zero hype — sale is going on forever already, telegram has less than 2k users. Project is fine but I don’t see the need to rush into it in ICO.\n\n<h1>GBX — https://gbx.gi/</h1>\n\nGibraltar Blockchain Exchange — world’s first licensed and regulated token sale platform and digital asset\nexchange, operated by an European Union regulated stock exchange. They will be the first exchange to also embrace tokenized securities. Fiat deposits, ICO platform, regular stock exchange — all in one. Team is stellar, years of heavy experience both in blockchain and financials/stocks. Tons of high profile partners (EEA, QASH), exchange ready to launch after ICO. From the cons — big supply, small available ICO cap and clearly bought likes/retweets. Bullish as hell.\n\n<h1>Faceter $FACE https://tokensale.faceter.io/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• System for surveillance capable of detecting objects/faces and doing analysis of the surroundings. Very cool idea that works for business and individual clients increasing their security\n• Already working MVP and it looks impressive, very high tech\n• Aims at very rapidly growing market (projected to be worth over 70 Billion by 2022)\n• Product already tested with few companies after receiving 1.2M backing and creating working version. \n• Product has a real use case, AI involved — it’s very ambitious but could be huge if it manages to work and be affordable by regular customer\n• They are working on a partnership program with Axis — global leader in surveillance hardware\n• Very neat presentation, with complex whitepaper and video presentation. Communication on social channels very active \n• Part of the tokens will be constantly burned \n• Team already did have a successful project together and the core of it has a lot of experience in their respective areas. Wouldn’t depend my life on them but they deliver.\n\n**Cons:**\n• Big supply — 1 billion (although unsold tokens will be burned)\n• There is 0 hype about this project yet and community is still very small — 3k telegram followers, 1k on twitter\n• The project is REALLY ambitious — hard to tell how possible it is to adopt that technology in mainstream. Costs are really high and technology needs to be very accurate\n• Only 1 advisor and no partnerships — this has to change if they planning to be as big as the idea itself seems \n• Team lacks blockchain experience. It’s a very complex project, they probably will need more resources than this to deliver promises.\n\n**Meh:**\n• Price of the token — 0,1$ not terrible from investment psychology POV (owning big number of coins) but with that supply nothing to be excited about\n• Quiet high max cap (40M), but the funds distribution justifies that number\n\n**Verdict:** Although there are some concerns about team’s ability to deliver the tech to mass client adoption, its current position of already working product is really promising. I will be looking forward to their next developments and potential partnerships as the whole idea feels really fresh and potentially massive. I am in.\n\n<h1>Legolas $LGO https://legolas.exchange/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• A lot of hype for this one, exchanges are an overall bullish trend now + it’s one of the most popular ICOs on twitter rn. Nice community with over 11k people on telegram\n• Hybrid exchange, allows trading directly from Ledger, high security features\n• They allow both crypto and fiat deposits/withdrawals (Makor partnership) — they are aiming at institutional money\n• LGO token supply will be decreasing over time with 25% of transaction fees will be destroyed. That will increase demand significantly in the long run\n• Relatively small supply if they reach the cap — 174,214,285.71\n• Team is very transparent and active, no red flags here. They are mature and have experience in their fields. Not an all-star squad but I would trust them more than Credits team for example.\n\n**Cons:**\n• Big discounts in the previous rounds\n• Big twitter profiles shilling it with ref links. Wonder at which moment they are going to dump it on their followers. Project is close to being overhyped\n• Roadmap is non-existent. Only Beta and Exchange date launches, nothing besides that.\n• Team lacks blockchain experience — nice to have Lead Engineer of Stratis as an advisor but that’s not much\n\n**Meh:**\n• Token price around 50 cents right now\n• Cap could’ve been a little bit lower (over 3500 BTC)\n\n**Verdict:**The project fundamentally stands out from all the other exchanges, but I am little bit hesitant with all the shilling and project being supposedly traded on other DEXes almost instantly after the distribution (time to dump some cheap tokens and get profits while the market is stagnant). This is definitely a good token to hold for the future but I am not sure if the ICO is the best way to get it. It’s a toss-up for me between investing and grabbing some after it hits DEXes, will probably be a last minute decision.\n\n<h1>$EXY Experty https://experty.io/en</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• Low maximum supply — 100M with token price around 1$\n• Only 9M hard cap on pre-sale + ICO — very big plus\n• Big community (19k telegram) and hype around it — I’m expecting it to sell out pretty quickly\n• Very solid advisors — people from Bitfinex, ETH, Golem, Bitcoin Suesse + twitter famous Josh Olszewicz\n• They do have a prototype\n• Fundamentals look good — the idea is well thought, team is responsive to questions, whitepaper very easy to understand (although roadmap could’ve been more precise)\n• Based on an already existing company ReactPoland, so no red flags about the foundation\n\n**Cons:**\n• Core of the team looks weak. Never managed something that big before. The applications that came from ReactPoland also never really did much of a noise.\n• Only 33% percent of tokens for the public — tons of bonuses for the partners\n• They have no partnerships. App won’t have a marketplace itself so it’s essential for them to get partnerships with other platforms to integrate there Experty\n\n**Meh:**\n• ICO model seems to bring a lot of problems to people, they are having hard time verifying (I admit it’s pretty rough)\n• The idea is fine, I can see it working but it’s nothing mind-blowing. Looks good on paper but I am not really confident in it being really big in the future. If they cannot get a lot of good experts, there will be only few that won’t be able to answer all the calls\n\n**Verdict** — I might chip in some bucks because of the hype and low ICO cap, but I do not feel confident in holding this coin long-term. It requires big partnerships and names to make it work outside of only couple of experts that decided to use to app right now. Until I see any of that happening I will probably just flip it short-term and decide on its future later.\n\n<h1>$ADH AdHive https://adhive.tv/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• Low ICO cap — 15 million. Exchanges planned right after ICO closes.\n• Fine token price — around 0.20$ + small bonuses\n• Total supply 450M, with unsold tokens being burned. Around 150M should be locked up till the 2 sale in Q3/Q4 2019. Distribution is planned the way that the tokens could steadily increase their value\n• Already working alpha\n• They put a lot of emphasis on the value of the token and its use cases. Good understanding not only of their market (media) but also general crypto ecosystem.\n• Partnership with Wings, Bancor and Adex (those are also Advisors + IOTA co-founder)\n• Video marketing is getting more important day by day, same with influencers. The idea is targeting industry at the perfect moment, just before it gets overall dominance above other marketing channels. AI is going to be a big trend in 2018. And it also approaches the growing problem of adblocking\n• Overall good feel — long-term roadmap, active communication from the team, understandable whitepaper\n\n**Cons:**\n• Like with every other crypto marketing project (LBC) — until I see a really big name using it — I am skeptical about mainstream adoption. The problems they are trying to solve are real but not urgent enough imo to get real influencers encouraged to use different platforms yet.\n• Team got experience in the industry but is not by any means great. Outside of co-founders which got some serious background in development and AI, the rest of the squad is mediocre. The idea is big, could be a game-changer for the industry but I don’t have enough confidence in them that they are the right people to bring blockchain + video/speech recognition marketing to life.\n\n**Meh:**\n• Almost absolutely nobody talks about it even tho they have ref links. Why there is no marketing?\n• Telegram community only at 4k\n\n**Verdict** — I probably will put in some money because of the low ICO cap. Comparing to other marketing projects out there this one would be really undervalued, especially with already working Alpha. Depending on how the development is going to look it’s more of a mid-term hold till it gets more recognition. Not really planning to hold it for my dear life unless I really see the platform being used by bigger audience.\n\n<h1>$BIRD BirdChain https://www.birdchain.io/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• Very clear use case, disruptive to A2P SMS market, aims to create basic passive income for all the users through selling unused SMS to companies\n• Part of already established and successful company Vertex (clients like MasterCard, Western Union etc)\n• They are targeting big market worth around 60 billion $\n• Small soft and hard cap (1500 and 10500 ETH) + all unsold tokens will be burned\n• Very cheap tokens (no specific price given, currently it’s around 60k for 1 ETH)\n• Low circulating supply considering low token price (maximum 580,263,158 but with a high chance of being lower after the ICO)\n• Good diversified team with experience in that field. No huge names there but an overall solid bunch. They make a very good impression on the speeches they’ve given already and on telegram where they are very active. Enough for what the project plans to deliver.\n\n**Cons:**\n• No product. First version to be ready in 6 months and “The official app presentation is planned at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in 2019”.\n• No roadmap although they confirmed on telegram that they are working on it\n• Their use case is very specific. If they fail at it one there are basically no other ways of bringing value to the token\n\n**Meh:**\n• They listed binance and bittrex in their whitepaper as the exchanges they want to get into — seems like a cheap trick to lure investors\n• Pretty lackluster advisors\n• Their SWOT analysis show almost no weaknesses or threats — lol\n\n**Verdict** — I did invest in it mostly because of the really cheap price and very clear idea that simply makes sense. If they deliver it I could be even looking profit levels around x50 in mid/long-term once the project gets more recognition (doesn’t mean it will, stop drooling over that number). The risk is a bit higher because of the lack of product right now, but I am willing to trust the team on delivering. Worth a shot.\n\n<h1>$MEDTOKEN MedicalChain https://medicalchain.com/en/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• Possibly best health records storage tech in crypto (superior to $PTOY in every aspect)\n• Great communication from the team and big community (21k on telegram) although it’s still quiet about it on twitter. Team is active on every social media channel there is out there\n• Relatively small circulation token amount (around 200 million from maximum 500)\n• Reasonable cap on ICO (24 million)\n• Alpha already working, partnership with NHS\n• As professional as ICO can get I guess, everything from whitepaper to the website and team approach is stellar. Roadmap also shows good longterm vision\n• Cannot complain on a team — rich backgrounds, high positions, a lot of really good business experience. The project is ambitious but the team is capable of delivering\n\n**Cons:**\n• I am skeptical about blockchain usage in medical industry — with governments involved etc it makes it extremely difficult for the projects to get any level of tech adoption. Almost impossible IMO\n\n**Meh:**\n• I might be blind but the developers team is almost none existent?\n\n**Verdict:** I have a hard time trusting medical projects in crypto because I simply do not believe they can work. Although this one is head and shoulders above current competition and looks stellar in almost every way so I will probably invest in it. Shout-out to @Cryptobargains for tipping us that one\n\n<h1>$CS Credits https://credits.com/en/</h1>\n\n**Pros:**\n• Very good product. Smart contract platform with 1M transactions per second, very low fees, java language. If they would deliver — few billion dollar project. This summarizes it pretty good — https://credits.com/Content/Docs/PresentationENG.pdf\n• Good team communication, growing community, constant updates\n• Unsold tokens will be burned\n• They got MVP \n• Fine cap on ICO (20 million overall)\n• No red flags\n\n**Cons:**\n• Team. Mostly consists of marketing background and “crypto enthusiasts”. Not a single person with a business background good enough to convince me it can be a few billion $ project. Quantity over quality.\n• Advisors. Nitin Gaur is nice but other than that — meh. No big names there, mostly “skilled in Blockchain technologies” kind of help\n• Big supply — 1 billion tokens\n\n**Meh:**\n• ICO token price (0.21 USD and almost no bonus)\n• Where are some partnerships? Additional backing?\n• Roadmap should be more detailed, this one is dissapointing and lacks long-term vision\n\n**Verdict** — might invest a small amount for the speculation purposes. The product is really good but I am lacking more confidence that this team can manage a giant they are supposedly creating. Congrats to those who got in pre-sale, much better conditions than now\n\nDid you like this review?

If you want to learn more about MWAT, head to the website (https://restartenergy.io/) as with this article I’m aiming only to review the project — for more complex description of its features please do your own research. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>The Basics</h1>\nStarting with the price and supply:\n\n![mwat2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmVdgQiDpkp3r3ftLBdekRNDf7mZ83t21ZiVjj6nWizPDc/mwat2.png)\n\nAnd following that up with the details:\n\n![mwat3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmcnEwbuzsrEEzoAHS2DtgLmeUvwRmTtPuRJ95jVNmqKp9/mwat3.png)\n\nI highly suggest reading the white paper available on the website to fully understand the points I will be making in the following parts of this article.\n\nWithout further ado — let’s begin!\n\n<h1>The Good</h1>\n\n* First of all — already working company with over 20M in estimated revenues from over 3k companies and 27k private customers using it (with new applications from all around the world coming in constantly). They are actively expanding to other markets and recently added several new team members with 4 blockchains devs among them (v. important step, more on it later). Head and shoulders above other ICOs that are gathering money on the basis of their whitepaper.\nRED Update #1: Restart Energy Expanding on All Fronts\n\nhttps://blog.restartenergy.io/red-update-1-restart-energy-expanding-on-all-fronts-41cc676d06b3?gi=b4fd49fca7dd\n\n* Token utility — one of the best utilities I’ve seen recently, with tokens being backed my real energy, instead of only being fuel to the whole platform. Their recently added renting system counters price volatility and brings more advantages to both companies and token holders (tokens will be available for renting in ETH instead of buying all the necessary MWAT supply at once in their Franchise model)\n\n![mwat4.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUPVCM4ZpWQMY9gQJn7drkm7dn8u832g9tnvRAGYN6Fyp/mwat4.png)\n![mwat5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUfMKBgkr9yoafbSYMgjA9r9H4j5m4NkCJhmW1zvankUZ/mwat5.png)\n\n* Alpha version of the platform is planned for the end of this month\n\n* Team’s good sides — I like the business core of the team — a lot of experience in their respective areas also from entrepreneurial POV. Good diversity of positions, well established fundamentals from Armand Group. Advisors are from very different branches, especially interesting is Mr. Sorin Ivan, a member of MEP for 9 years now. Can’t complain here, a really solid bunch.\n\n* I am generally bullish on blockchain in energy industry. It tackles monopolistic approach and definitely could be disrupted with the right system. That’s ofc outside of increasing renewable energy usage rate which would find its place in an open platform like this.\n\n* The team tries to please not only future clients/users but also traders. Refreshing to see that instead of “don’t buy this token for speculation purposes, it’s not meant to be an investment opportunity (hey sweetbridge)”. They are aware of price fluctuation and are looking for solutions that wouldn’t disrupt their system, and they are planning to do that without manipulating or pegging token price.\n\n* It’s still under the radar although community is not small. A lot of bagholders in there crying for news but the overall feel is good, they got solid support from current investors\n\n![mwat6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPRKihV5oYMBs5WJURUR4KvoQmuGXyWyQxoFBwUfJRaAw/mwat6.png)\n\n* Right now at 17M valuation — I expect this to AT LEAST match POWR marketcap (almost 10x from here) and probably exceed it in mid to long term. Same goes with WPR, there is no reason why it should currently be valued above MWAT imo\n\n* Although the technical roadmap could more detailed, they have an expansion plan in place\n\n![mwat7.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZv9FLuRdmzvs2H8CYumzFBCc9VwvNxatmbH83q9BF6GL/mwat7.png)\n\n* Not yet on any significant exchanges (biggest one if KuCoin)\n\n<h1>The Meh</h1>\n\n* Energy markets are probably more deregulated than people realize but overall regulations still pose a threat to clean expansion. WP’s analysis of world’s market is convincing but it’s nowhere near the advantage as they definitely will meet obstacles on their road to enter other markets.\n\n<h1>The Bad</h1>\n\n* Team’s bad sides — they are lacking more significant blockchain experience (from technical side). The current structure is good for their previous operations but with entering into this market I expect a little bit more than blockchain consultants in there. Good thing, as I’ve mentioned before, they are currently hiring new devs.\n\n* The competition — even tho they are the only decentralized platform already working, they will still have to compete with number of other companies both in crypto (once they roll out their products, also promising) as well as outside of it. It’s a tough market and I expect a lot of resistance before it opens up massively to a tech that new in comparison to how currently people are buying their energy.\n\n* The idea is really ambitious — I already am impressed by their results up to this date but they are still mostly working in their home country of Romania. Real challenges will start with expansion once the platform is up and running. Too many people take the idea for granted — it’s a very long-term project with the end goal of disrupting the industry. Nothing wrong with that, goals should be ambitious, just pointing out there are many risks of this meeting some reality checks as every other innovative company would.\n\n<h1>The Verdict</h1>\n\nI am having this as one of my “gems” for upcoming alt season because it’s simply severely undervalued. Both as a competitor to POWR WPR etc as well as a project overall. The sole fact of the company already bringing revenue, having steady partnerships and thousands of users should put this above majority of crypto projects (if crypto had any common sense, it doesn’t). I like the potential of the team, their current developments, its low cap and under the radar position. Most of the risks are associated with their further development so with no current red flags I am giving myself a green light to make this one of my bigger positions.\n\nCheers!\n\nDid you like this review?

If you want to learn more about TomoChain, head to the website (https://tomocoin.io/) as with this article I’m aiming only to review the project — for more complex description of its features please do your own research. Enjoy!\n\n<h1>The Basics</h1>\nStarting with the price and supply:\n\n![tomo2.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmbPgwHPE3x2HBen48fBWr4fmeugDREogBt8M5tEqZN2Rw/tomo2.png)\n\nCirculating supply is at 55M which puts it at around 33M marketcap currently.\n\nSimply put — what is TomoChain?\n\n![tomo3.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNx7uL7R8nsiy5eDuzvFLRv9NdjV5ggansw5Hw5uBFpSp/tomo3.png)\n\nWith the goal of:\n\n![tomo4.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNiAN3sZb4LhvZNfm966yXp1NZKWAewgw5kbETbvqieoS/tomo4.png)\n\nAnd they are planning to do it all with 3 elements:\n\n![tomo5.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmakMmymn2DnkoWRyPAWem8YTnUY5fYc3tQedf84Br9qGD/tomo5.png)\n\nI highly suggest reading the white paper available on the website to fully understand the points I will be making in the following parts of this article.\n\nWithout further ado — let’s begin!\n\n<h1>The Good</h1>\n\n* They only had 8,5M hard cap during the ICO — I tend to trust projects like this a lot more since they are not a money grab like 99% of other ICOs. They know how much they need to reach their goals and they respect their investors along with that, giving them a chance to really be rewarded for early support. Speaks for itself especially that the development started in Q2 2017.\n\n* Solves big issue of scalability which, if succeeded, leaves huge room for growth in comparison to all the NEO ICX and ETH of the crypto world. Their cross-chain scaling should be attractive to other platforms as well.\n\n* Their Testnet is already delivering 2 second confirmations with 0 fees and it supports all ETH smart contracts. Wallet’s demo is also running well — all their propositions already can be seen, a rare view in the current ICO market.\nTheir app beta works like a charm. Of course, there is not much movement there yet but from the development and UX POV it’s looking good. Available for both Android and iOS.\n\n* I will divide the team into few parts — core team — a small one but with very strong backgrounds. Long Vuong co-founded NEM and helped with building NXT, both 2 major cryptocurrencies today. The rest of the squad is not lacking in experience either, they are all full-time there with good credentials in respective backgrounds. I feel confident in them leading the project. That is in addition to advisors from Bee Token, Qlink, Devery and WeTrust. That’s a lot of crypto brain power right there.\n\n* Rest of the development team — I will let the images below answer this one — it’s good\n\n![tomo6.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPQodZEfmCD62vZSs8UiTjdhcf8ugTsZvsZktsLQSwrn7/tomo6.png)\n\n* It might not be a huge deal but god damn they got one of the best telegrams out there — instant replies, no “when moon” boys, full professionalism. And that’s with 18k people\n\n* Tons of backing in various VCs and for example NEO. That’s always good to see when the project has some real money behind it, it puts the pressure on really delivering the product.\n\n* Currently only on IDEX and recently gate.io with one of the biggest volumes out there. New exchanges should be a matter of time.\n\n<h1>The Meh</h1>\n\n* Their app for a regular user is basically a pumped Quora with rewards (per their Proof of Contribution). It’s a fine concept but it’s definitely nothing jaw-dropping. They have quite a lot of use cases for the token (that’s good) but I’m not really a believer in people paying for small services — I simply have a hard time imagining mainstream users paying for answers to their questions on any platform. I’m more bullish currently on their chain possibilities than the app itself which would be just an addition that might work out if the project itself gains more traction.\n\n![tomo7.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaWYrtV1pDLREQZC2Y2SPMvrjzaHr6j9Zh9xufxi1GzKr/tomo7.png)\n\nPeeps are paying 500$ for a pair of shoes but are not willing to pay 99 cents for an app. You think they will pay for the answer they can probably get somewhere else for free? Maybe, but doubtful for me. Good that they have a lot of features in there, so that might still boost to usage of the app even without few of its functions.\n\n* Alpha chain in Q2, Wallet in Q3. It will help build a lot of hype for it, but that means mid to long-term hold. The roadmap shows a very clear path which would allow the price to steadily increase throughout the whole year but there are risks to it also — look below.\n\n<h1>The Bad</h1>\n\n* Main USP of TOMO is that is solves scalability issues. A problem that ETH is well aware of and I’m pretty sure they will not sit with their arms crossed and wait for others to fix it. If in some way ETH will be able to solve its issues before TOMO launches its main net that will take away a huge advantage TOMO currently presents (not seeing it myself yet but that’s a possibility). It’s still going to be lone standing protocol that can have its own dApps and will still have all its features (cross-chain transfer etc), but the number of reasons to use it instead of other more recognizable competitors would decrease greatly.\n\n* As the future value will depend on the dApp ecosystem that TOMO can build around itself there is a big problem of already huge competition. They are still quiet early in their development in comparison to biggest platform out there so their late start into that specific group of projects might limit their ceiling a bit.\n\n* Adoption of the app and project itself somewhat lies on the shoulders of marketing. Where is business team and more business-oriented part of whitepaper? Where is the marketing plan and general business overview? There is some info on the market itself but the WP is mostly “technical” in sense that it talks over the infrastructure (the real technical paper will be out along with the chain). I do believe in developers reaching their goals but I also want to believe they will be able to sign great partners and push the project further while there is work done behind the doors.\n\n<h1>The Verdict</h1>\n\nI will be buying $TOMO since their proposition, as it stands today, has enormous potential. Even if ETH manages to solve their issues before TOMO manages to benefit from it, it still is a good play in my POV for short to mid-term with their road map showing constant development across the year that can be hyped. For long-term? I am not ultra-bullish since I generally think that people forget about ETH also being developed — there is a new ETH killer almost every week and I wouldn’t be surprised if ETH just shut all those mouths up in the end once they are able to scale properly. Competition is good, it’s necessary but most of these platforms, outside of NEO, has shown nothing yet so let’s not crown the new king if the current one still has a lot to say.\n\nBut yes, $TOMO should be a good bet for upcoming weeks.\n\nCheers!\n\nDid you like this review?
