CrytpZone Token Watch - Power Ledger (POWR)

Image
Some I'm connected with may have heard me mention Power Ledger (POWR) in the past and the story I tell.  If you have not, then let's get started Ive had an interest in renewable energy for most of my life, I'd say going back to the late 70's or early 80's.  Today, I even work do some work for a nonprofit in the energy efficiency space.  So when I say blockchain technology getting applied to renewable energy and energy distribution, it was certainly of interest to me.  Over the summer of 2017, I began hearing about this project and their ICO.  I lost track of the project for a bit and missed out on the ICO, but began investing and trading POWR the day it got listed on one of the exchanges I use for crypto trading. So what is Power Ledger? You can find a broad overview of Power Ledger here , but in general: Power Ledger is the world leading peer-to-peer marketplace for renewable energy.

CrytoZone Token Watch - Vertcoin (VTC)

I've been watching (and trading) Vertcoin (VTC) since last fall and it's a project that has all the potential of a project that keeps it on my watch list for 2018. Vertcoin claims to be the people's coin and is designed to support decentralized mining. It has grown greatly over the past few months, but can it keep it up? For 2018, there were a few features a token needed to have to put it on my watch list.  One of those was that it be an ASIC resistant token.

You can read about some of these basic features of VTC here . Another feature that a token needed to have to put it on my watch list was an active project outreach team working on growing/marketing t...

CryptoZone Token Watch - BAT (Basic Attention Token) and the Brave Browser

Image
The cryptocurrency revolution has its foundations in the idea that the rights and liberties of the individual is greater than the profits of business. For those that got involved in cryptocurrencies early on, they're likely to be very aware that this whole thing began with a question and a quest, can money and an economy function without the banks and middlemen that control the game and without fiat currencies and the governments that manipulate it?  Enter bitcoin and a host of other tokens. But, in today's connected and digital world, there are other institutions that exist that aren't banks and governments but still exert a great deal of control over the individual.  Perhaps more control than most people realize.  Institutions like Google and Facebook.  Enter Basic Attention Token (BAT) and their Brave browser. As the owner of a digital marketing agency, it may seem very odd that I would be a proponent and advocate for a project that's intended t...
