Litecoin or any coin in top 20 CMC is a safe investment. You may gain less investing in them but you also loose less with them. You can also take a looks on some less known coins but have solid work, such as RVN, ALGO, THETA or ENJ.

Would it be okey?  to see all cryptocurrency that are been listed in exchanges increase to higher value without much delay so do you think that will happen any sooner or later

With the current market situation, that day is so so far to come. Similarly, people are waiting for the altcoins season like in late 2017 but no one knows when it comes.

Precious metals streaming company Wheaton Precious Metals (WPM) will use blockchain technology to facilitate its metal accounting processes, mining.com reported on June 12.

WPM has reportedly hired software company Blockhead Technologies to deploy its blockchain-based platform STAMP to streamline metal accounting processes. Specifically, the platform purportedly enables its users to track and source certification into mining value chains. By using the platform, WPM aims to boost data management processes and conduct data analysis.

WPM is one of the world's largest precious metals streaming companies. In the fourth quarter of 2018, WPM reportedly generated nearly $110 million in operating cash flow, bringing total operating cash flow for the year to over $475 million. The company produced over 370,000 ounces of gold, 24 million ounces of silver and 14,000 ounces of palladium.

Some other major producers and consumers of metals around the world have also integrated blockchain into their internal processes. In April, Volkswagen joined a blockchain-powered scheme to ensure the cobalt used in lithium-ion batteries for its electric vehicles is responsibly sourced.

In January, IBM partnered with MineHub Technologies to deliver a blockchain solution that will improve supply chain management in the mining and metals industry. The product is set to “increase the level of automation, reduce reliance on intermediaries and increase the speed at which goods are transferred from miners to end buyers.”

As reported last September, Hong Kong-based jewelry retailer Chow Tai Fook reportedly put records of some of its diamonds on a distributed leger developed by blockchain startup Everledger and secured by the IBM Blockchain Platform. This will reportedly enable the retailer’s customers to ascertain the origin and authenticity of gems sold in its T Mark-branded stores.

Napster creator Shawn Fanning’s new company Helium has released its internet of things (IoT) wireless hotspot devices with a blockchain-based incentives program, according to an official blog post by Helium on June 12.

According to the post, a Helium Hotspot provides wireless connectivity to the Internet; one node on its own will cover about 1/50 to 1/150 of a city, according to the company’s research.

The nodes are intended to support a network of internet coverage, one which is decentralized and powered by individual contributors. Contributors are rewarded by an incentives program on the Helium blockchain, which is powered by the hotspots themselves — one hotspot is one node for the blockchain.

According to the company website, the hotspots’ mining mechanism within the blockchain is much less energy-intensive than traditional consensus algorithms used for blockchains such as proof-of-work. The mining works by verifying the legitimacy of other nodes using a “Proof-of-Coverage” protocol, which purportedly is no more energy-consuming than an LED light bulb.

Energy concerns have been an issue voiced by critics of blockchain tech in the past, as a recent study suggested that carbon emissions from bitcoin (BTC) mining are comparable to the whole of Kansas City.

There are also a number of potential use cases mentioned, on the post and the website, that go beyond typical internet services via Helium’s sensors, such as using smoke or heat sensors to prevent wildfires, tracking pets, or even preventing bike theft via location-detecting sensors.

Helium Hotspots are only available for purchase in Austin, Texas upon release, but national coverage is reportedly planned for the fourth quarter of 2019. The company also intends to sell the hotspots globally in the future.

As reported by Tech Crunch, Helium has raised at least $51 million in funding for its IoT network. One issue noted in the report is that there needs to be a large number of hotspots, sufficiently spread out, in order for there to be a functioning network at all.

Last month, engineering and electronics manufacturer Bosch said that it would aid the development of the IoT space by defending it from censorship. Board member Dr. Michael Bolle said:

“We cannot accept a situation in which the overwhelming reaction to digital innovations is mistrust and fear.”

By CCN Markets: A blockchain project called Helium has raised $15 million in a round led by enthusiastic technology investors like Multicoin Capital and Google (via venture fund GV). Multicoin wrote a passionate blog post, praising the project as one of the most ambitious crypto ventures since Ethereum itself.

Helium reportedly will bring reduced costs to deploying wireless networks, as Multicoin partner Tushar Jain explains:

“The Helium vision is the most ambitious we have seen in the blockchain space since the advent of smart contracts on Ethereum: Helium represents a fundamentally new approach—one with a radically reduced cost structure—to deploying and managing wireless networks at scale.”

The Biggest Thing in Blockchain Since Ethereum?

Helium is slated to carve out a niche by offering a low-cost deployment for wireless networks. Companies will no longer need to invest in a complex infrastructure. They can purchase the hubs they want and turn them on, and then poof – they’re online. To the investors, this is the main value point. This means that the nodes can be deployed anywhere in the world, which gives companies a great deal of flexibility.

“Costs on the Helium network are expected to be 90-99% lower for the vast majority of IoT use cases, dramatically reducing the barrier to connectivity and unlocking many new IoT use cases that depend on global, inexpensive internet access.”

The big bet seems to be that people will willingly switch service providers. The reality is that deciding to switch to another internet service provider is a big decision, and most people won’t make it on a whim. Just promising lower cost doesn’t mean the customer can’t expect sudden new headaches. That’s precisely why many people are willing to pay for business packages in the first place.

No one seems to expect this with Helium. If it’s not the case, mass adoption still won’t be immediate. Offering a cost-effective alternative that is globally deployable does offer the advantage of an essentially guaranteed market growth.

The Hidden Networking Goldmine?

Without a doubt, there could be a lot of money in this. But if Bitcoin reaches an all-time high of $100,000, as many predict it will, then at any point around then Ethereum itself could be worth in the trillions. Will this project stand up to that?

Ethereum is necessary for hundreds of projects that have funded and are still working on their minimum viable products. The markets have shifted in the meantime, and people can’t just go and get anything funded, but nevertheless, Ethereum retains value as people need the network to use numerous projects that will soon deploy.

This is, of course, in addition to projects that are already active on the Ethereum blockchain.

Such is the original use case for blockchain projects: they represent a “platform” for others to operate on, and that gives them a perceived value based on the demand for space on their blockchain. Ethereum has the most desire, while Tron and EOS each have a significant amount of users.

2019 has been a good year for the cryptocurrency space, with several digital assets posting significant gains after the troubles of the crypto-winter towards late-2018. Parallelly, crypto-exchanges have been making waves in the industry as well, with Binance launching Binance DEX and the GBP-backed stablecoin in the works. Binance’s native token, Binance Coin, surged by more than 450 percent in 2019, at press time.

According to a recent report, EXANTE, a financial investment company, has announced the launch of a new investment fund that will be directly pegged with Binance Coin [BNB]. Speculators believe that the announcement may have a positive impact on BNB’s price valuation, as the decision serves as a new gateway into the crypto-ecosystem for new investors. EXANTE customers already have the option to trade with over 20 other investment funds, pegged to other virtual assets.

EXANTE also shares headquarters with Binance in Malta, and was one of the first investment companies to start a Bitcoin fund back in 2013, when the concept of Bitcoin was not widely understood.

Additionally, the BNB coin has surprisingly gathered tremendous attention in terms of mass adoption, with the latest development allowing it to be traded using Visa and MasterCard. This association is thus considered a major landmark in terms of mainstream adoption and involvement of non-crypto players.

The future seems bright for Binance as it currently stands as the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, while BNB maintains an upward growth trajectory in terms of value and popularity. Given BNB’s stellar performance in 2019, industry expert speculate the company will soon peg Binance next to their investment funds.
