I wanted to share 10 of the most interesting crypto projects of the week!
Now this not investment advice, and is only for entertainment purposes.
These are just the projects that I have found most interesting this week.
Ethereum has been gaining a lot of popularity recently, and is getting very close to Bitcoin's market cap, which would make Ethereum the #1 cryptocurrency!
Ethereum is a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference.
Zcash is the original completely anonymous cryptocurrency, and has went up a lot in value recently.
I actually made a post right before Zcash took off check it out!

Zcash is the first open, permissionless cryptocurrency that can fully protect the privacy of transactions using zero-knowledge cryptography.
STEEM is obviously the reason we are all here, but some people may not know that it is also a great cryptocurrency on it's own!
Steem is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards.
Zencash was just released, and is a fork of Zclassic, which is a fork of Zcash. ZEN has had a rocky start, but now seems to have the bugs worked out!
Zencash is another completely anonymous crypto like Zcash, but only 12% of the mining rewards are redirected (for the life of the project).
"3.5% goes to maintain the infrastructure (the secure nodes), and 8.5% goes to the treasury for the organization to spend on development, maintenance, improvements, and all the other expenses a viable organization needs to spend money on to thrive and grow."
The world's only truly private borderless decentralized platform for communications & transactions.
Ubiq seems to be working on a great project that claims to be an improved version of Ethereum.
Ubiq is a decentralized platform which allows the creation and implementation of smart contracts and decentralized applications. Built upon an improved Ethereum codebase, the Ubiq blockchain acts as a large globally distributed ledger and supercomputer, allowing developers to create decentralized and automated solutions to thousands of tasks which today are carried out by third party intermediaries.
China's first ever original and open source public chain project.
Antshares serves as a smart assets platform. Smart assets are the combination of smart contract of blockchain and digital assets. Antshares allows for a smarter way for assets registration, issuance, and circulation.
Litecoin has recently adopted Segwit, and is becoming used a lot more since it is cheaper to use than Bitcoin right now.
Gloabl decentralized currency based on blockchain technology.
Bitshares is a great project that allows you to create your own coins, and has a lot of great features!
The BitShares platform itself is run and maintained by the BitShares community–an open consortium of individuals and organizations committed to providing universal access to the power of smart contracts.
LBRY is creating a new marketplace for creative content. It is different from Steemit because it seems to be more focused on content like films, music, courses, and other creative content you want to earn from.

LBRY is a free, open, and community-run digital marketplace. You own your data. You control the network. Indeed, you are the network.
Hush which was originally Zdash is basically the best of both worlds when it comes to Zcash's anonymity, and Dash's community that allows anyone to propose their own ideas to the project!
Hush is a private implementation of the "Zerocash" protocol forked from [Zcash]. Based on Bitcoin's code, it intends to offer a far higher standard of privacy through a sophisticated zero-knowledge proving scheme that preserves confidentiality of transaction metadata.
In conclusion, I really think there are at least 100 great projects that I could name, but like I said these are just my top 10 projects of the week.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my post!
