Top 5 altcoins under 1$ to invest in 2018 PART-1

Based on their whitepaper and technical specifications i made an in-depth study of 5 altcoins under 1$. They are very promising and will blow in 2018 since they have something to offer to community.
These coins are for medium and long-term uses.

1- VERGE COIN (XVG)

One of the best coins called also Bitcoin 2.0. Verge is a secure and anonymous cryptocurrency, built with a focus on privacy and recently has released WRAITH Protocol. Wraith Protocol is a technology that allows the user to seamlessly switch between public and private ledgers on the Verge Blockchain. For the first time, users are now free to choose which ledger they want to utilize.

To break it down, when Wraith Protocol is turned ON — the transaction data is hidden and not visible via the blockchain explorer.

In a circumstance where transparency is required, Wraith Protocol would be turned OFF, allowing the transaction data to be viewable on the public ledger.

In addition, Verge provides total obfuscation of IP addresses in both cases, thanks to the most advanced version of TOR integrated in the Core Wallet. In combination with Wraith Protocol it makes Verge the only truly untraceable cryptocurrency.
Also they have shown the Roadmap for 2018 so keep an eye on it. Verge can also be mined with AMD and NVIDIA Cards.

2- CRYPTOINSIGHT COIN (TKR)

CryptoInsight is initially a mobile application, and will later become a fully fledged web platform, which offers real-time alerts on cryptocurrency market shifts as they are about to happen. CryptoInsight offers an all-in-one interface to view and manage your portfolio, predicts cryptocurrencies deemed safe for investment (based on historical analysis and current market trend) in addition to allowing users to set up watchers to alert on various cryptocurrencies based on their invocation criteria. Furthermore, CryptoInsight will also use historical data models and apply machine learning to obtain prediction models for cryptocurrencies and portfolios.
Also they have shown the Roadmap for 2018 so keep an eye on it.

3- STORM COIN (STORM)

Storm Market is changing the way that people all around the world earn with one simple motto: earn from anywhere, at any time, from any device. Blockchain enables micro-transactions to be carried out in an efficient manner. The difference is around human-centric user interfaces and experiences. Storm's gamified micro-task platform creates an engaging user experience that encourages active participation with the STORM token community.
You can earn by playing videos, and trying out new products and services, earn by shopping for products and services, earn by performing micro-tasks, like: machine learning, QA testing, and P2P freelancing tasks.
Furthermore they have the best team behind and advisors like Bittrex CEO, CTO of ZyngaPoker, JAXX Founder, Alphabit CEO and Co-founder of Bancor so i am totally 100% it's gonna blow this year.

4- REQUEST COIN (REQ)

REQ coin is a decentralized network built on top of Ethereum, which allows anyone, anywhere to request a payment.
The request can be detected and paid in a secure way, without the need to involve a third party.
The request is saved on an immutable, authentic ledger, which acts as a unique source of truth for accounting and auditing processes. Request integrates a trade law system and works across every legislation. Request works with every global currency. Request is designed to be flexible, to last hundreds of years, and to work with IoT, whilst being compatible with any future systems.
REQ was built with CIVIC, 0x, ARAGORN and Kyber Network.
Currently is supported by: Y COMBINATOR, MONEYTIS, IEXEC, Quantstamp

They have a strong team behind it, a very good roadmap and is one of the best coin out there.

5- XTRABYTES COIN (XBY)

XTRABYTES (XBY) is a modular blockchain platform designed to provide significant increases in security, scalability and decentralization opportunities over the current blockchain technologies. Utilizing a newly created algorithm (Zolt) and consensus method, Proof-of-Signature (PoSign), XTRABYTES offers a platform on which decentralized application (DApp) developers and services can create and shape the future of blockchain technology. XTRABYTES is not an ICO, but a community driven project. XTRABYTES introduces a revolutionary new consensus algorithm (Zolt), based on the concept of Proof-of-Signature. Zolt ensures a system wide block signature rate of 100%, which confers an unparalleled level of security. Additional benefits include substantially decreased energy consumption since Zolt does not require a network of miners. The XTRABYTES platform will be optimized for DApps to be built right into the blockchain.
Utilizing shared storage technology, the XTRABYTES storage module will enable users to store data securely on the STATIC node network. The data is encrypted and divided into shards across the network of STATIC nodes, just as the blockchain ledger is shared between all wallets. The storage network is the foundation layer for the entire platform of Decentralized Applications.
The XTRABYTES platform lends itself perfectly to a scalable world. With high transaction speeds, future-proof security protocols and a code-agnostic DApps platform; XTRABYTES will be able to meet the expanding needs of the broad consumer market. This will put the XTRABYTES platform in an optimal position for mass-market adoption.

They have released a roadmap and is going to be a game-changer in Blockchain industry.
