Problem: With so many new ICOs emerging on the NEO platform, how do you know which ones to own? All of the current NEP-5 tokens seem to have their own intrigue. However, while it is good to diversify, if you buy all available tokens you are spreading yourself too thin, and you won’t be able to maximize your profitability from the tokens that significantly appreciate in value.

Solution: A comparison of the current token economics shines light on which tokens appear to be the most undervalued. This analysis indicates how NEP-5 tokens at current prices stack up against each other and which tokens are more likely than others to significantly increase in value.

Conclusion:

The clear winner from this evaluation of the token economics is Bridge Protocol’s IAM token, with its current market cap sitting many multiples below the other NEP-5 tokens.

Why does IAM have the lowest market cap?

The most logical answer is lack of visibility in the NEO community. IAM is a recent ICO that is not yet available for trading and the whitelist closed within hours of opening, limiting the number of people that were allowed to purchase the IAM token at the ICO price of $0.05.

Why does IAM have the best chance of increasing in price more so than the other tokens?

Due to its lack of visibility, IAM currently has the lowest market cap on both a circulating supply basis and a total supply basis. Based on the market cap of other NEP-5 tokens, IAM is extremely undervalued, creating enormous potential for a significant price gain.

Note that the price of an IAM token could rise to $0.50 and still have a total supply market cap well below DBC (DeepBrain Chain). This cannot be said of the other NEP-5 tokens.

Additionally, the company officially announced that there were no private/presale event(s) for the IAM token and that the Crowdsale ICO was the first and only token distribution event. No bonuses were given to anyone and nobody paid less than the $0.05 ICO price. This is significant because unlike IAM, other ICOs often allow bonuses and private sales (and “back door deals”) that allow some early participants to obtain tokens at extremely low prices, which causes a dump once the token lists. This is not the case for IAM.

This is not the case for IAM. The Bridge Protocol team includes Chief Customer Officer for SAS (SAS is the leader in business analytics software with over 14,000 employees worldwide). He is a well-known leader in the analytics market with many contacts in this space to expand awareness and partnerships. What other projects have a Chief Officer for SAS on the full time core team?!!!

Elena Kvochko, Chief Information Officer of the Security Division at Barclays, said that Barclays has had talks with regulators about Bitcoin and blockchains. The regulators appear to be open to the idea as long as “know your customer (KYC)” laws are obeyed. This is exactly what the Bridge Protocol project is all about. Bridge IAM tokens fuel the storefronts that offer identity services, Know-Your-Customer (KYC) solutions and access legal services provided on the blockchain. This allows for lower cost KYC and legal vetting between parties to conform to the regulations that are definitely coming.

I am trying to bring awareness and education to the NEO community in terms of the importance of token economics. Once IAM starts trading on Switcheo SWH (Switcheo is a multichain decentralized exchange/DEX) on March 31, 2018, we will see the price increase once the volume gets high enough, and then we will move on and search for the next most undervalued NEP-5 token.

While I own various NEO tokens/coins, I have not been compensated to write this article nor have I received any bounty rewards from Bridge Protocol (bounty program ended prior to writing this article). This article represents my own independent analysis of how the NEO NEP-5 tokens stack up against each other to educate my readers and promote the NEO community.

I hope this article was helpful to my readers. Donations welcome: Neo address = AaMc597TCdsk3aPt531TzzUqmdmyF8xked
