7 Cryptocurrencies You Should Know About
#Cryptocurrency is a rapidly growing market, with thousands of different projects vying for attention. However, with so many options available, it can be difficult to know which ones are worth paying attention to. In this quick look, we'll take a look at seven #cryptocurrencies that are flying under the radar since the early days of cryptocurrency, but have the potential to make a big impact in the future. (Full disclosure: not only have I acted as Project Leader for #ReddCoin since 2016, but am absolutely in love with the teams and people behind every project listed below. Talent, passion and effort, all without trying to sell out and cash out. If that doesn't embody the original #cryptoethic, what possibly does? Also, all projects named below are opensource and highly engaged with their respective communities.)
ReddCoin is a social currency that aims to make digital #currency accessible to the masses by integrating with #social media platforms.
