Hot Altcoin 🔥Civic

Civic (CVC) is revolutionizing the idea of identity management by providing cross-platform, secure, and low-cost identity management services. The Civic platform is actually a blockchain of verified identities, and the ecosystem includes users, validators and service providers. Identity information(Name, Passport, SS, etc) can be uploaded to a user’s phone and secured with a fingerprint scan. This information will be stored only on the phone and can be referenced on the public blockchain through attestations. Validators(FI’s, governments, utility companies, etc) are tasked with ensuring the information put into the public blockchain is correct, by cross-checking with public references; and they are incentivized to do so by receiving CVC tokens in exchange.

CVC tokens are the utility token of the platform and will also be used by service providers(hotels, bankes, etc) as a means of purchasing access to the rights of the users' information. This system is a massive improvement from a cost perspective on a sector that is racking up higher costs for KYC (know your customer) processes. It also provides a fully decentralized mechanism of trust and confirmation, which is important given the vast scope of the recent equinox hack. Civic's team is backed by many years of experience from their C-level, all of whom have found great success with companies like Deloitte and RBS. They know how broken the current system is, and have been doing a great job to ensure Civic addresses these shortcomings.

The Civic app is already in open enrollment for users, and partnerships between validators and service providers are growing as well. As the team expands, if they can continue to gain adoption, CVC will become increasingly valuable given it’s strongly defined use case. CVC trades at just $0.41 USD on Huobi and Bittrex at the moment.

Hot Coins 🔥 Modum, ChainLink and Everex

Week of January 7th, 2018

MOD (Modum) - Modum is a project aimed at the improving the pharma supply chain, which offers a passive monitoring solution, ensuring GDP compliance and auditability by using blockchain and IoT technology. Modum’s tested solution offers a significant cost savings over the active-cooling methods currently used, while providing valuable data to drive continuous improvement in supply-chain logistics. We like this project because it addresses a direct use case and is built specifically for it, we think of it as the Samsara of the Pharma industry. Furthermore, the product is built to satisfy recently updated EU regulations, which will make it easier for companies to adapt the necessary processes. MOD currently trades at about $8.20 USD on Binance. With a Circulating supply of ~18mn and a market cap ranking of 164, this coin has a lot of potential to run, and has picked up steam in the past few weeks alone.

LINK (ChainLink) - ChainLink is blockchain middleware that allows smart contracts to access key off-chain resources like data feeds, various web APIs, and traditional bank account payments. By providing smart contracts secure access to these key resources, ChainLink allows them to mimic real world agreements that require external proof of performance and need to make payment in widely available payment methods e.g. bank payments. This project is a powerful integration technology that is working with big names like SWIFT and Gartner,  and has somehow flown under the radar until recently. Rowlinstone, a heralded Cryptocurrency Research Group, named LINK their sleeping Giant for 2018. It trades at just $1.08 on Binance at the moment and is starting to command the attention it deserves.

EVX (Everex) - Everex is a project that has recently gained some deserved attention for their financial services platform that aims to bring banking to the unbanked, and help small/medium businesses thrive with Blockchain. EVX is applying blockchain solutions to cross-border payments, trading and lending; and the team is loaded with folks who have tremendous experience in the industry. Although the token has increased over 100% in the last week, it is still outside of the top 200 market caps, and should continue to increase as they continue to deliver. EVX trades at $5.20 on Binance right now.

Hot Coins 🔥 Verge, Civic and Lisk

Week of December 24th, 2017

XVG (Verge) - Verge is a project that has been around since 2014 and aims to bring user privacy to the masses while keeping the original vision of Bitcoin alive by providing user privacy in a public ledger. Privacy enabling coins will be a crucial part of the cryptocurrency space moving towards the future.  Recently, Verge has seen a lot of deserved attention, with mentions from Forbes, Bloomberg and The Chicago Tribune; and it’s gaining more traction with further wallet improvements to be released in the near future. There is a strong developer community around the coin, and it trades at just $0.22 on Binance at the moment.

CVC (Civic) - Despite the benefits of privacy enabling cryptocurrencies, there is a large concern around Identity protection, and Civic is addressing this head on. Civic’s platform enables people to build a digital identification, and their unique product offering allows real-time authentication of identity data verified by Civic or a Civic Identity Partner, such as a government entity, financial institution, or employer.  Their development of an ecosystem that is designed to facilitate on-demand, secure, low-cost access to identity-verification services via the blockchain will prove to be of growing importance as our current world integrates with blockchain services. With just 347mn coins in circulation, and a current market cap ranking of 69, there is much room for growth in such a valuable project. CVC trades at $0.70 USD on Bittrex at the time being, and has seen steady growth over the last month.

LSK (Lisk) - Lisk is a decentralized network that is building towards enabling teams/developers to create, distribute and manage decentralized Blockchain applications by deploying their own sidechain linked to the Lisk network, including a custom token. It is unique because Lisk is written entirely in Javascript, allowing for a Blockchain framework which accelerates and simplifies development. Lisk has jumped over the past couple of weeks but is dipping a bit now, and with a rebrand and increased marketing efforts on the helm for 2018 - the future looks bright for Lisk! It trades at $17.90 USD on Binance currently.
