Top 10 Cryptos of the Future (July 22, 2017) - A weekly ranking of the best place to put your money in the CryptospheresteemCreated with Sketch.

#1. LOMOCOIN flies to the top of my list this week mainly because I had been dreaming about an app that matches their whitepaper and I was elated to finally find a crypto that is actually pursuing it! LoMo is basically a location based app that uses GPS coordinates to link customers with businesses and incentivize their patronage via geographic prizes. Sort of like a treasure hunt using your smart phone to find the treasure. Remember Pokemon Go game? And the craze that it started with people roaming around trying to catch worthless Pokemon? Now imagine the same infrastructure with REAL prizes to be gained such as cryptocurrency or free dinner at a local restaurant. Did I mention LoMo already has 300,000 users in China and plans to roll out v2.0 of their app in the next couple weeks? They are also starting an exchange (new ICO) called XSTAR that will allow transaction in many popular cryptocurrencies. This is almost guaranteed to be worth BILLIONS in the future and you can buy now at $10mil marketcap!

#2. SWARM CITY was recently hit as part of the Ethereum hack which is the main reason their price has dropped significantly. However, this short-term setback represents a real long-term opportunity! Connecting buyers and sellers in the most efficient means necessary and enabling commerce between them is an excellent example of the amazing potential of blockchain technology to transform our world. Swarm City is building that online ecosystem to enable this economic leap forward where buyers and sellers can freely transact without centralized interference. It's on sale now!

RLC.png

#3. iEXEC RLC is another contender in the cloud storage space, similar to STORJ (which I also like). The Total Supply of RLC is 1/5th of STORJ and does NOT have a hard fork in it's recent past (STORJX) to make it much more attractive to investors. iEx.ec aims at providing distributed applications running on the blockchain a scalable, secure and easy access to the services, the data-sets and the computing resources they need. This technology relies on the Ethereum smart contracts and allows building a virtual Cloud infrastructure that provides high-performance computing services on demand. Sounds like something that would be worth a lot in the near future!

PTOY.png

#4. PATIENTORY is yet another unique application of blockchain to a field that desperately needs an overhaul. Free and easy way to store and manage your health information and get the best answer to any healthcare question. Complete, accurate, secure, and readily available medical records is a big challenge. If PTOY can streamline the healthcare process, that will be worth far more than it's current market cap of $12 million! The advisory board includes CEO/Founder of STORJ and investor who deals in the hundreds of millions. This coin will have NO problem reaching $1billion marketcap in the long term. That's a hundred bagger at least!

GEO.png

#5. GEOCOIN is a hidden gem of a crypto! The downside is the development team seems a bit small and quiet at the moment. However, this idea is pure gold! Combining crypto currency with geospatial data is going to be a game-changer for multiple industries. I will not elaborate further at this time, since I plan to accumulate more while this "on the grid" coin is still off the grid of most investors! Hard to imagine a way that this doesn't increase 100x from this level. Interesting coincidence there is a movie called "GeoStorm" coming out in October... Might be a good time to own GEO!

ION.png

#6. IONOMY is competing for a piece of the multi-billion dollar gaming industry. ION looks to be a great investment here as GAME has proven this market has a lot of potential! GAME sits at $169million market cap . It will also probably get close to $1billion in the long term. However, in terms of investment VALUE, ION at $12.5 million market cap is a golden opportunity here! Part of their plan is to use revenues from their sales to repurchase outstanding coins to drive the price up faster. They also offer Master Node option if you buy 20,000 ION you can earn decent return by holding them.

EDG.png

#7. EDGELESS is taking on one of the most corrupt and lucrative businesses - gambling. They are seeking to utilize the blockchain to bring transparency and fairness to a historically shady and rigged industry. They say, "the house ALWAYS wins!" Well, that may be true, but they don't have to win by a 10 to 1 margin! Edgeless plans to remove the 'house edge' (casino advantage) and gamblers everywhere will finally have a fair chance at hitting the jackpot. This is a great example of the blockchain improving every industry that it touches. They were also affected by the recent Ether hacking but seem to be strong in the face of adversity.

ANS.png

#8. ANTSHARES (soon to be called as "NEO") remains at number 8 this week after a nice bounce. The founders have made it very clear that their intention is to not only compete with Ethereum, but to be technologically superior in multiple, obvious ways. In addition to that, Antshares is based in China and has a huge advantage there, which happens to be at this point in time, the heart of the cryptosphere. Finally, Antshares value is a small fraction of that of Ethereum which leaves plenty of room for appreciation.

TIME.png

#9. CHRONOBANK is another unique application of the transformative power of the blockchain technology. They seek to update an industry that is very outdated and clumsy, the recruitment industry. I have personal experience about how terribly ineffective the current process is, even for major companies, to find and keep the talent they need in today's economy. This is an extremely large opportunity and Chronobank appears to be very ambitious in the various potential markets they are looking to disrupt. This won't stay at $12 million market cap for long.

VOX.png

#10. VOXELUS is as cool of an idea as the sound of their name! Voxelus is a platform that allows anyone, anywhere to create, share and play virtual reality games and experiences without writing a single line of code. Voxelus includes a bundle of free assets that you can use to design with more content coming out every week. Virtual reality on the blockchain! This may sound quite futuristic to most people, but the future is getting nearer by the minute and this company appears to be ready to capitalize on it! They recently posted a very nice video about their future plans.

This post represents my view and opinion of the cryptosphere at this time. It is not to be considered investment advice. There is a good chance that I may own or will soon own any or all of these coins. I would love to hear any comments or tips which cryptos you think may be better than these!

Gotta put CIVIC (CVC) on there! I'm telling you, it's gonna be 'EEEEUUUUGGGGGE!

Very interesting! I had not actually heard of this before. I will consider this for my next Top 10 list. Thank you!

=O Wow!! I missed the big move up... i made a little on it. But THANKS for your advice!!! And keep sharing your picks with me~

Thanks for the post and research! I am going to get in on some of these that I don't own already. Good work!

Congratulations! This post has been upvoted from the communal account, @minnowsupport, by bitbybit from the Minnow Support Project.

Thank you for sharing! I really like Antshares. I think the Chinese companies like to make their own version of things, for example, WeChat, which is similar to Whatapp, but has a lot more functions and a LOT more user friendly. I definitely believe that Antshares will be the Chinese version of Ethereum!

That's a great point. China is almost a world and market of it's own. I think one major challenge coins such as Antshares faces is how to appeal to and integrate with the rest of the world. Although, focusing only on the Chinese market is still a great potential.

Very interesting picks! I am going to go read up on all of these and watch the Voxelus video.

Hey, you may be interested to see there's a mobile app called Snatch app that has a very similar model to LoMoCoin (except that it's not crypto.) It's a virtual treasure hunt app. www.snatchhq.com. I haven't played it.

Lomocoin coin app is pretty smooth ..performance wise and have an active user base of 300,000 ... thats like 100 million coin in my opinion

Very cool. Will be checking it out.

Hey thanks! I just saw the Snatch promo video and wow! Looks very interesting idea. Little different twist on what I had envisioned, but I like it. I believe there is room for several players in this space. I do think cryptos will be a major part of it though.

Hey cryptosphere you should join the LoMocoin Slack. PM one of the Lomo Devs @liuji in slack. Because they are China Steemit does not work properly so that is why I'm reaching out on their behalf.

Definitely. Do you think a mobile app competes directly with something on a blockchain? It's not a question I've ever asked myself before, but now I am wondering. Suddenly, mobile apps seems so "old hat"!

I think mobile apps will all be integrating cryptos very soon. It's just a matter of time before Snatch does. If I was making the decisions for a crypto, I would be banging down their front door to offer a partnership to integrate cryptos with the Snatch app. But any app (which is almost all apps) that have in-app purchases/payments will eventually be supporting cryptos.

I can't find anything on the XSTAR coin and exchange. Do you have a link for more info on this. Thanks!

As of now it is pre-ICO by invitation only... i sent an email to get invited and still waiting to hear back :P But i do think it will really help LoMoCoin take off which trades on Bittrex.

Thanks a lot for the info

As a new user that has just recently looked at different types of Cryptocurrency this was a well written article that has expanded my knowledge on this topic. I don't think I have a full grasp on it yet but it takes me reading and reading more articles to make more since of it. Thank you very much for this article.

Nice post. I was about to post a similair thread. The popularity of the cryptos is currently determined by the biggest group of uneducated investors in man kind. It's an interesting world we live in. Does anyone know about: https://www.coincheckup.com Amazing opportunities came to light when I started using this coins to analyze cryptos.
