Top 5

CRYPTOCURRENCIES
FOR q4 2018
Devin Milsom | Emergingmarketsinvesmtnetclub.com
 1. Cardano (ADA)
EXCHANGE: Binance | PRICE $0.1 | All TIME HIGH: $1.32 |
RANK 9 | TICKER: ADA | MARKET CAP: 2.68 Billion
Cardano (ADA) was founded by the co-founder of Ethereum, Charles Hoskinson. It is
similar to other well knows projects such as NEO, EOS and Ethereum.
One of the big advantages for ADA is that the technology behind Cardano is the only pro-
ject to be developed from a 'scientific philosophy, and built by leading academics and en-
gineers'.
Cardano's token is set to be the 'future of money' and their platform will enable develop-
ers to build smart contracts and decentralised applications.
One of Caradano's big goals is to enable over 2 billion people access to financial services.
These 2 billion people are mostly those who don’t have an address, which you need for a
bank account.
Cardano also focuses on several other key elements that a lot of cryptocurrencies seem
to ignore. Compliance... Cardano aims to be ahead of the game when it comes to
compliance, meaning global governments / institutions are much more likely to partner
with a firm where compliance is a priority.
User interface is also a main focus of the team, and at the end of the day, the projects
which are the most user friendly will win. Their hot wallet is very elegant It is made in-
tentionally simplistic and easy to use. Ready for mainstream adoption.
They are addressing all the issues that hinder the scalability of the POW / POS blockchain
infrastructure. POS is adapted to meet demands of the consumers as it scales. Near in-
stant transaction speed and near fee free transactions makes Cardano a very strong force
to go against.
KEY POINTS:
• Cardano is seen as a relatively ‘cheap’ crypto. Currently more than 92% down from
its all time high, the potential upside for ADA is massive.
• Cardano is one of the few projects which don’t rely on hype to boost their tokens
price, throughout the 18’ crypto market crash, they have brought out several de-
velopment updates and continue to work hard in the background.
• With plenty of development updates coming up on the roadmap, ADA is more
than likely to increase in price (especially if the market cap is climbing).
 2. VeChain (VET)
EXCHANGE: Binance | PRICE $0.017753| All TIME HIGH:
$0.0955 | RANK 18 | TICKER: VET| MARKET CAP: 0.985 Billion
VeChain focuses on leveraging blockchain technology to build a trust-free and distributed
business ecosystems, which are self circulating and scalable. VeChain have also recently
introduced dividends which will attract many investors.
VeChain offer solutions for: Cold Chain Logistics, Automobile, Medical and Healthcare and
Luxury and Fashion. These are all multi billion dollar industries primed for disruption.
VeChain are combining blockchain technology with tiny microchips that can validate the
authenticity of a product, this will kill fraud, which costs the global economy almost
1 Trillion USD per year.
This is revolutionary, and will further enhance globalisation and consumer trust in foreign
markets.
VeChain have one of the largest teams compared to most cryptocurrency projects. They
also have a substantial amount of partnerships with some well known companies such as
Renault Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers and are now working with divisions of BMW.
They have also spoken to the Deputy Prime Minister Of Belgium, and continue to seek
out corporate partnerships - which will definitely move the price once the market starts
to pick up again.
KEY POINTS:
• Vechain’s price has a significant psychological edge - people like to buy coins that
are deemed ‘cheap’. In the December rush, the coins which were ‘cheap’ in-
creased by the largest percent. Examples are Cardano with a 4,000% and Verge
with a 2,000% in December alone. Once the market cap starts to pick up near the
trillion dollar level, the public will buy the cheapies and cause the price to rocket.
• Dividends are a huge bonus, buying now while the prices are relatively cheap
would mean you’d get both the growth over time in the assets price but also a
progressively larger dividend return in correlation to the increase in price.
• Speculation feeds of off news and announcements, VeChain is one of the most ac-
tive blockchain projects that are seeking partners. This will have a positive impact
on the price given the market is bullish.
 3. NEO (NEO)
EXCHANGE: Binance | PRICE $22| All TIME HIGH: $198 |
RANK 15| TICKER: NEO| MARKET CAP: 1.4 Billion
Formally Antshares, NEO is one of the most promising cryptocurrencies on the market. It
competes with coins like Ethereum, Cardano, EOS and a few others.
NEO provides a platform where developers can build decentralised applications and
smart contracts. NEO differs from ETH as the coding language needed to build said app is
through existing languages, therefore removing the barrier to entry that Ethereum has.
There are several applications that have been built on NEO's platform and they all
interconnect in some way.
Applications such as digital identity to payment processors to allow fiat to crypto pay-
ments to happen a lot more efficiently.
NEO is playing a very smart game, creating their own 'Smart Economy' slowly but surely.
NEO are pushing to remove Bitcoin's dominance and are competing as a trading pair simi-
lar to how ETH is accepted on most exchanges.
The founder of NEO, Da Hongfei, advised China to ban cryptocurrency exchanges back in
2017. The Government officials came to him to ask for his opinion on the course of action
to regulate this wild market. The conclusion that they came to was to temporary
ban cryptocurrencies and exchanges in China. This may seem very odd for the CEO of Neo
to advise such a thing, but this was a very smart strategical decision. In the short term,
this might hinder the growth and adoption of the NEO ecosystem however in the longer
term, by demonstrating that compliance is one of the core principles of the NEO
ecosystem, this will create a great deal of trust between Neo and the Chinese
government, opening up a great opportunity for market domination in China.
KEY POINTS:
• NEO is like Ethereum but it pays Dividends and it’s a fraction of the cost of ETH. In
the wild west, we do not know which project will be the ultimate successor how-
ever it is worth diversifying into NEO.
• BONUS: GAS (Neo’s Dividend token) tends to trail NEO at 50% of its market price,
it is currently way below this level at $7.33. I strongly expect GAS to climb by a
larger percentage than NEO initially, so it might be worth buying that first.
 4. NANO (NANO)
EXCHANGE: Binance | PRICE $2.93| All TIME HIGH: $36 |
RANK 28| TICKER: NANO| MARKET CAP: 0.39 Billion
NANO was previously called RaiBlocks, as you can tell, a rebranding was REALLY needed.
The name RaiBlocks was recognised as a barrier to mainstream adoption (rightly so), so
the team re-branded to a much simpler name that can be globally pronounced and un-
derstood.
NANO promises instant transactions with zero fees that is infinitely scalable. One of the
major concerns with Bitcoin and even Ethereum is that they are both slow in terms of
transaction speeds.
Understandably this can change over time, but Bitcoin transactions have taken over 24
hours during periods of heavy volume.
NANO does not face the same issues that Proof Of Work mining does in terms of con-
sumption of electricity, it is environmentally friendly.
Nano is purely focusing on being a currency, and of all that I have tested, it is certainly the
fastest and the most cost effective.
NANO are starting to partnership with merchants. Recently, TWITCH have allowed
streamers to accept NANO as a form of payment, this is a huge step towards adoption
and I expect further partnerships will continue once demand picks up.
NANO is also fighting to become another trading pair, if this is achieved the price will
increase drastically.
KEY POINTS:
• NANO is currently over 92% down from its all time high, presenting huge potential
upside once the market cap starts to pick up again
• NANO’s technology is far superior to Bitcoin’s, unless BTC changes, NANO is in a
far better position to be the globally accepted crypto form of payment as it is
quicker and far more scalable.
 5. Nebulas (nas)
EXCHANGE: Binance | PRICE $1.94 | All TIME HIGH: $15|
RANK 77| TICKER: Nas| MARKET CAP: 0.088 Billion
what is Nebulas?
Often referred to as the ‘google’ of cryptocurrencies, Nebulas aims to create a search
framework for smart contracts, distributed applications (dapps) and digital assets on the
blockchain. The framework has various methodologies to determine value and thereby
rank accordingly.
Liquidity
This measures the frequency and the magnitude of transactions. Large liquidity indicates
economic development and popularity therefore this will be taken into consideration in
their ranking algorithm.
Propagation
Network and user growth is another key indicator to rank value. As blockchain projects
grow in popularity, their liquidity will increase as well as their propagation and therefore
place them higher in the ranking algorithm.
Interoperability
Nebulas aims to not only rank assets on their ecosystem but integrate all blockchain eco-
systems to work in conjunction with each other. With many projects like ETH, NEO and
EOS offering a platform to build decentralised applications and smart contracts, Nebulas
will allow cross chain integration to benefit the mass public.
Ok, so why would developers build applications / smart contracts on Nebulas instead of
ETH?
Firstly, developers can build dapps and smart contracts on the Nebulas blockchain using
already existing coding language — lowering the entrance barrier for developers.
Secondly, developers are rewarded with the NAS token if their project is valuable to the
ecosystem. This incentive, along with the relative ease of development gives many talent-
ed developers a reason to build on the Nebulas platform.
KEY POINTS:
• NAS is an underdog project, with such a low market cap it can very easily move in
price.
• NAS has only recently been listed on Binance, meaning it now has access to huge
volume when the market cap picks up.
 NOTES FROM DEVIN
Firstly, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this report. I hope you
have found this valuable.
I have done my own due diligence on these 5 projects (and many others) and
I strongly suggest you do the same. This is not financial advice, just my opin-
ion on which coins are likely to increase by a larger percentage than the mar-
ket average.
Most of these coins are on Binance, here’s my referral link if you wish to use
this as a thank you. http://bit.ly/BinanceEMIC

Wish you all the best.
