Other Alts/Tokens

Generally I see most of the name brand altcoins and tokens rising in btc price throughout the exchanges during the second half of july. One path may be to find the brand name (Well known coins with moderate exchange volume) tokens that are historically cheap and holding them. That path would most likely include staying away from anything with consistent low volume.

Upcoming ICO's and Crowdfunds

Look for new and interesting ideas with actual substance. Nothing outlandish or over promising. Look for a good team that is well traveled. Incorporated teams is a plus. Publicly facing teams are a plus. Teams that attend bitcoin meetups, discussions, conventions are a plus. Teams that have been onstage or keynote speakers are a plus.
