TOP 21
SAVE YOURSELF SOME TIME & ENERGY!
Welcome to our main feature! This is an analysis of the top
21 coins for the month ahead. We hand select some of our
pros picks, add some of our own, and set about the epic
task of researching and writing up only the most relevant
information in the most easy-to-understand way - so you
get the benefits of all the research and knowledge without
any of the legwork.
Our aim here is to help you get a quick look at a coin’s

background, what it’s done last month, and what it may do
next month. We include a lot of stats for those interested in
their own analysis, and a scoring system on the bottom of
each page - which gives a brief look at how we’ve rated
each area of each coin’s performance.
The overall score we give - from 0 to 100 - allows us to rank

each coin from no.21 all the way up to no.1. We analyse
Public Opinion, how much Room To Grow the coin has, TA,
FA, and Upcoming Events. Those scores contribute to the
final figure.
Read on, see what coins are trending this month, and enjoy!

I made my first investment in Ethereum at age 17 and ran a reverse arbitrage service for half-
a-year to earn enough money to start a cryptocurrency-based hedge fund. At 19, I finally
launched the fund and diversified into more than two dozen ICOs over the first year. I sold my
car at age 20 to invest more money into Waves and Golem. Today, I continue managing that
fund and work as a consultant and adviser to several cryptocurrency-based startups.

HOW TO FIND LOW CAP GEMS

In a few simple steps I am going to teach you how I find my
gems. Low marketcap coins can be risky, but if you find the right
ones the profits are insane. There are a few important things you
need to look at.
IS THE IDEA UNIQUE? IS THE PROJECT LEGIT?

The most important thing when trying Some lowcaps seem “too good to be

Are they professional?

From the start the developers should be acting in a professional manner. The website
should be up to date and appealing (10 year olds can make websites now-a-days),
they should have multiple social media platforms up and running, and most importantly
the team should be transparent and responsive.
Conclusion
Using this simple criterion can help you find some promising lowcaps. Always remember,
lowcaps are very risky and have low liquidity – only invest a little.

BEAST’S TRADING
DOJO
Hailing from a background of music and web development, I was first introduced to
cryptocurrencies in February of 2016 by a friend and college. It didn’t take long for
me to see the immense potential in this space, and by early 2017, I was fully invest-
ed and began to trade them as a full time endeavor. In this time I’ve learned so much
about cryptocurrencies and investing/trading that I’ve been able to radically change
my life for the better. These days, I am working on perfecting my trading strategies
in order to get the best possible returns.

How can you make as much money as is possible trading cryptocurrencies? The answer lies
in the strategy of the trader. In this article I go over a true and tried trading strategy using

projects. When I select projects I want to analyze, this is the first thing I look at. I prioritize “Use Cases”
because I believe it has the most chance of predicting success.
In my opinion there are 3 types of projects that have a higher chance to survive in the long run. These
are:
1. PRIVACY COINS
2. DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES
3. FINANCIAL SERVICES & LENDING
I chose these 3 areas because the target market of these projects is much larger than
that of most others.

There are key features and figures you have to consider while
doing your analysis/research. I divide them in 2 categories.

BitcoinTalk. Let’s be real. How many of the crypto projects, ICOs out there really need
a token? Most of the ICOs use it to raise funds, and then afterwards there’s really no
real use case for the token itself. So, naturally I like a project more when there is a real
use case for the token. Everex tokens will be used on the platform to verify and track
various activities such as:
1. Membership: Proof of EVX ownership will be required to access advanced

features, such as immediate on demand credit.
2. Tradable Credit Scores & Collateral: Accumulation of EVX will allow low rated
individuals and small businesses to improve their credit score. EVX will be accepted as
collateral, enabling borrowers to access credit at lower interest rates along with other
perks.
3. Incentives: Loans paid back in time will reward users with an EVX bonus, adding to
a credit scoring, while late payments will entail an EVX levy, reducing that score.
4. Everex Buy Backs: Surpluses from successful business activities will be used to
launch quarterly buy backs, in which Everex will purchase EVX at market price from
EVX holders via “reverse ICO”. EVX tokens acquired this way will be distributed among
the community for free as a means of user acquisition.
