This is a map of some of the most prominent Crypto projects and what category they fit into broadly speaking.
A notable absence from this list is my personal favourite crypto..., EOS
EOS spans all four major categories in this group and will (IMHO) take the crypto world (and the larger world with it) by storm starting in June 2018.
This Is Why
1. Protocols and Infrastructure - EOS is really the eos.io protocol developed by block.one and Dan Larimer (inventor of Steem and Bitshares). It will be THE primary crypto protocol for new businesses and will make life easy for existing businesses to migrate from their current protocols to eos.io It has scale-ability, interoperability and the ability to support both private and public block chains.
2. Middle-ware & Dev Tech -EOS will be cloud computing, cloud storage, external data, can support the Internet of Things (as it has free transactions) and will be THE easiest platform to develop on for developers due to the number of existing development languages it will support.
3. Capital and Liquidity - EOS will have interoperability between other block chains. This means their liquidity is eos' liquidity. It will be able to host digital currencies, digital exchanges and will be able to host big data style analytics companies due to its scale-ability, super high transaction rate and free transactions.
4. Applications - EOS will support many and varied decentralised applications such as Steem It and these new apps will eventually replace centralised applications such as facebook, twitter, youtube and many more.
While this is an interesting graphic, and some of these names will be around in 5 years, it reminds me of the early days of the internet before the real players entered the game.
It'll be interesting to revisit this map in a few years and see how many of these are still around...
