Basic Attention Token (BAT) and Digibyte: Perspective in a mad market

It takes a lot of confidence (and self-assurance) to keep holding your cryptocurrencies when most of them have lost more than 90% in value for eleven months straight. Holding is a doubtful option for many investors in the current market. Yes, it’s bounced back a bit nicely today but things have been ‘bloody’ till yesterday.

And of course, we can’t label only one day’s greenery as a trend. Newcomers are not exactly excited to put their money into the current crypto market. Not all fears are strictly irrational.

The current debacle is serious enough for many cryptocurrencies to fail and never bounce back. The main reason behind those failures will be a lack of competitive advantage through use cases and applications for their blockchains. But some projects will eventually thrive because they have what it takes.

The investors that can identify those projects could hit a mine gold in the not-so-far future. We’ll talk about two candidates for that in this article: Digibyte (DGB) and the Basic Attention Token (BAT). Let’s see these couple assets in some detail.

Basic Attention Token (BAT)

The brave browser’s main focus is advertising. Since publicity is unavoidable for any web surfer in the world, why not make it more efficient and convenient for both the advertiser and the user?

That’s the point in brave. With this browser’s approach to ads, advertisers get value for their money while users don’t feel they’re uselessly nagged all the time.

It eliminates the need for ad-blockers. It’s been successful, and it’s gaining adoption at the rate of millions per month. And BAT is the token that makes this software work. Because BAT is the coin making this happen and the browser is expanding in all markets, the token’s value can only increase in the future.

It’s already supported by many of the world’s largest exchanges (Coinbase, for instance). That will facilitate high trade volumes for a useful asset. Taking both things into consideration, you can only conclude that this is a project that will work long-term as it holds a huge potential. The benefits outweigh the present market fluctuations by far.

Digibyte (DGB)

No new investor will be attracted by the current year’s Digibyte’s price history. But for the more experienced players who base their decisions in a fundamental analysis (read, intrinsic value) instead of technical analysis (price only), it’s an asset that should be considered for inclusion in a long-term portfolio. Digibyte never held an ICO (which means it won’t be declared a security) and a committed community drives it.

Both things guarantee that no clique of manipulators can move the market at will to scam other investors. This is a blockchain that will be around as long as any blockchain at all is relevant. It’s valuable because it’s trustless and uncensorable. You can probably say that about any blockchain that’s implemented correctly, but that’s not all.

This coin and project have relevant use cases for valuable industries, and that’s what is going to give it a very long life within the cryptoverse. Think about cybersecurity. It will only grow more important as digitalization keeps moving forward all around the planet and Digibyte is at its center.

DGB’s value (and price) will only grow along with the cybersecurity industry as time goes by. It presents an excellent opportunity to buy cheap and hodl before FOMO arrives when it becomes a bullish market (that has already started as we write this article).
