Blockchain Bubble or Revolution: The Present and Future of Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies

by Neel Mehta

TRX: TRON TRON is an ambitious crypto-startup that is building a decentralized content-sharing platform. In other words, it wants to cut out middlemen like Google Play and Netflix that stand between people who make digital media (movies, books, etc.) and consumers.

XEM: NEM NEM lets you track any kind of asset — health records, loans, stocks, and so on — on a blockchain.

XLM: Stellar Stellar is a payments system that aims to make it easy, quick, and cheap to send money between countries.

Stellar is a fork of Ripple, and the two remain similar in terms of technology, but Ripple is a for-profit company that focuses on businesses and banks, while Stellar is a nonprofit that focuses on individuals and the unbanked.

XRP: Ripple Ripple is an international payment network designed to help people move money around the world quickly and cheaply.

Another reason for the difference in returns is risk: higher-risk assets like stocks yield higher rewards.
