Three Virtually Unknown Altcoins Are Ready To Erupt, According to Crypto Trader Tyler Swope

img-ads

Cryptocurrency trader and YouTuber Tyler Swope is naming three relatively undiscussed altcoins that he believes will likely break out in the short-term.

In a new video, Swope kicks off the list with Chainlink’s (LINK) node service provider LinkPool (LPL), arguing that it is the most established project within the niche segment it occupies.

“LinkPool is hands down the leading ChainLink node service provider. They run the longest standing and professionally managed Chainlink nodes, they created Chainlink markets – the explorer for nodes and Chainlink price feeds. So you can consider LinkPool, the Robin to Chainlink’s Batman. They go hand in hand.”

The LPL token just recently hit the market in March, but the trader notes that, unlike with Chainlink, users can already stake on the LinkPool nodes.

Swope says Alchemist Coin (MIST) is another project that has the potential to melt faces in the next few months.

The non-fungible token (NFT) project, which is not yet listed on CoinGecko, could allow early adopters to get limited edition NFTs called crucibles when the governance proposal officially passes, and it likely will. These first version NFTs could provide holders with major value in the future as the protocol grows, notes Swope.

“The proposal is overwhelmingly yes, and ended today. It proposed, that v1 (first version) crucibles be limited to those using the terminal or powershell… a.k.a technical users. Once the frontend UI (user interface) launches, those users will get v2 (second version) crucibles using that interface. The crucibles, are NFTs, thus having a v1 limited edition could be a valuable thing down the road.”

The cryptocurrency trader and influencer names the application programming interface (API) for decentralized infrastructure, Pocket Network (POKT), as the third obscure altcoin whose price could drastically increase.

Although the project is not yet plugged into Ethereum (ETH), nor is it on CoinGecko, per Swope, Pocket Network’s usage has grown massively since it was unveiled, indicating tremendous potential for growth.

“…the network has crossed one billion requests since launch, and over 2,732 staked nodes. It’s being used, and used heavily.”

NFTs: Overpriced crap or new art history?

It’s been a heady few weeks for commerce and art.

Surely a revolution is afoot and we’re too mired in the hot mess to see it right.

With that proviso, here are two notes from the front lines.

NFTs are cutting-edge, digital art ain’t

Some folks say the non-fungible token (NFT) that allows a digital artwork to be possessed exclusively by a purchaser is traceable to the creation of Colored Coins in 2012 — or to CryptoPunks in 2017 — even though the this market exploded just the other day.

 

A page from Jules Antoine Lissajous’s A Study of the Optical Representation of Sound Vibrations, 1957

But digital art (DA) itself has an older pedigree.

As early as 1857, the Frenchman, Jules Antoine Lissajous (1822–1880) published images of mathematically-designed…

BTC “threatening a breakout”

Bitcoin has recovered from its flash crash earlier in the week and briefly hit $60,000 overnight on Friday. 

With seven-day gains still at 13%, there are plenty of reasons to be bullish in the short term now that consolidation looks set to conclude, Filbfilb argues.

“With the weekend looming amidst a buoyant week; it’s difficult not to be optimistic,” he summarized.

“I’m not thinking we will break out with as much ferocity, but I do think that we are on the brink of a strong breakout.”

A comparison worth noting is what happened to Bitcoin…

Ethereum’s return to all-time high accompanied by 77% rise in transaction fees

Ether (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, returned to an all-time high on Friday when the spot price for each unit of ETH exceeded $2,000.

Meanwhile, the ominous specter of Ethereum’s unwieldy transaction fees made itself felt once more, as the cost of using the blockchain rose 77% across the past few days, in line with a 31% increase to the ETH coin price.

Ether recorded green candles for eight of the past nine days, as the coin price rose from a recent bottom of $1,530 on March 26 to the $2,009 valuation witnessed at the time of publication.

Transaction fees summarily jumped 77% across the same time period, as the average cost of transacting on Ethereum rose from $12.96 to $22.97, according to data from Bitinfocharts.com.

Average fee figures often paint an inaccurate picture of the fees being paid most often on-chain due to high-value outliers….
