What do the four coins of Ripple (XRP), Stellar (XLM), Verge (XVG) and Tron (TRX) have in common besides all being reasonably priced under a dollar?
XRP is currently valued at $0.65; XLM is currently trading at $0.25; XVG is trading at $0.096; and TRX is trading at $0.04.
Still no answer?
Well, all four coins/tokens have showcased proof of concept. This is very rare in the cryptocurrency world. Not too many coins and/or tokens come out to showcase how they have solved a real life problem that they had promised to do.
Proof of concept (PoC) as is a realization of a certain method or idea in order to demonstrate its feasibility, or a demonstration in principle with the aim of verifying that some concept or theory has practical potential. A proof of concept is usually small and may or may not be complete.
Looking at , the goal of the project was to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally using the power of blockchain. This has been achieved numerous times through the partnerships the project has made with banks which intend to use their payment settlement solutions of xVia, xCurrent and xRapid. its Open FX instant international payment service that runs of xCurrent. This is 100% proof of concept.
Moving over to , the aim of the project was to have a platform that connects banks, payments systems, and people to move money quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost. XLM has also demonstrated this through the numerous partnerships with the most notable one being with IBM which is running 9 of Stellar’s nodes for payment settlements across the globe.
on the other hand, was envision by its development team as a crypto that improves on the original bitcoin blockchain and to fulfill its initial purpose of providing individuals and businesses with a fast, efficient and decentralized way of making direct transactions while maintaining their privacy. It is the privacy part that is of most importance to XVG. Verge’s Wraith Protocal guarantees privacy during transactions by allowing the user to switch between public and private ledgers on the Verge blockchain. It is currently available on Windows, with the OSX version still being worked on.
Last but not least, is . The project has weathered numerous FUD around the web to release its Testnet on the 31st of March, 2018 with the final Mainnet planned for release on May 31st. The project has switched from a purely decentralized entertainment project to that of decentralizing the entire internet. Also to note are the working 9 DApps on the current Tron blockchain with a combined user base of 100 Million.
It is with the above brief reasons that the four aforementioned projects, are the future of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies. They all exhibit Proof of Concept and it is only a matter of time before they take over the Crypto-verse.

NEM (XEM) has not been left behind in the current cyrto markets surge that started on Thursday, April 12th with the meteorite pump of bitcoin (BTC) by $1,000 in a period of less than an hour. At its lowest on Thursday and before the surge, was trading at $0.238. Since then, it has appreciated 26% to current levels of $0.30 and seems to be having some good trade volume to back its value over the weekend.
So why is NEM (XEM) a Dark Horse in 2018?
Firstly, NEM is way ahead of its competition in terms of development and adoption of its technology. Looking at done by Reddit user, Metasaurus_Rex, of NEM with another great project Cardano (ADA), NEM leads the way in terms of project developments. According to Metasaurus_Rex, NEM has finished and tested lots of it objectives that seem to be the same as that of Cardano.
Cardano is yet to deliver on any of its objectives but it has a greater market cap to that of NEM in the markets. NEM has completed the following features 100%:
Multi-signature Transactions (Catapult adds Nested And IOT Compatibility)
Functional Nodes and Rewards (Decentralization)
Functional Light Client (Nanowallet)
Human Friendly Addresses (Namespaces)
Functional High Speed Network
Voting Center Built Into Nanowallet
Paper Wallet Functionality
Co-Working/Research Spaces in Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Lithuania
Trezor Wallet Compatibility
Debit Card Compatibility (Pundi X)
Smart Contract Tools and Testnet
Partnerships and Research Prograns (40+, Global and Ongoing)
Community Events and Meetups (100+, Global and Ongoing)
, which is a blockchain based point-of-sale (POS) solutions provider, the company has gone ahead and announce that it has developed POS terminals that run solely on the NEM blockchain.
A second reason why NEM is the Dark Horse of 2018, is that NEM will be 100% supported and given preference in the yet to be released The Exchange is slatted for release by early Q3 this year. Also to note, is that NEM foundation President, Lon Wong, is an adviser to the Bankera project that aims to be the first in offering that will be similar and better than the regular fiat banking. With part of the Bankera tokens being issued as NEM mosaics, and the same NEM mosaics being part of the tradable assets on the Bankera exchange, the sky is the limit for the coin.
A third reason why NEM could be a good coin choice moving forward, is once Coincheck started refunding customers that were affected by the January 26th hack that saw $500 Million in NEM vanish from the exchange.
In a nutshell, NEM (XEM) offers more than the above 3 reasons to be a good bet as we go down 2018. With its value still under a dollar, it is a reasonably priced digital asset that could skyrocket with time.
