Cryptocurrencies have already changed the world. The last decade has seen Bitcoin establish itself as a household name while people everywhere were treated to a taste of the limitless transformative power that digital currencies can bring.

It’s the opportunities that cryptocurrencies open up that carries the power to turn pretty big ideas into reality, and some organizations have already turned to crypto and blockchain solutions in a bid to revolutionize entire industries.

In March 2018, The Motley Fool estimated that there are over 1,600 different cryptocurrencies established worldwide. Based on the data different trackers like CoinCodex receive from exchanges, now there are over 6,000 different cryptocurrencies. An awful lot of power for change.

Here, we’ll take a look through three refreshing new cryptocurrencies that have been set up to support some big and ambitious ideas - all with the ultimate aim of helping people and helping to make the world better connected.

MediBloc

It’s been long anticipated that blockchain will have a sizeable impact on the health industry, and MediBloc promises to do just that. This project focuses on tackling the problem of centralized electronic health record data storage, by transferring data sovereignty back to the individual.

MediBloc is a decentralized, open-source healthcare data platform. Its aim is to transfer full ownership of personal data back to the patients via blockchain infused permission access control. Significantly, MediBloc also offers users the chance to monetize their data via their own cryptocurrency.

By giving patients the chance to sell their medical records to carefully selected partners, MediBloc aims to create a thriving ecosystem where researchers can buy targeted health data to advance innovative breakthroughs, medical centres will better understand their patients’ health, and patients can not only have instant access to their health data, but make money from it too.

Despite being a developing technology, MediBloc is already making its presence felt with the announcements partnerships with the likes of Deloitte and PolicyPal Network. The cryptocurrency [MED] is now listed on Bitholic, CPDAX, Exrates, LATOKEN, Coinsuper , IDEX and Bancor.

Humans Gen

Humans.net is an organization that’s firmly focused on revolutionizing the burgeoning freelance market. So sizeable are their ambitions that they plan on creating a peer-to-peer network of workers on a scale never before seen.

The masterplan is to leverage a large catalogue of skills, knowledge and characteristics of billions of individuals by harnessing AI, DNA-based verification systems and blockchain technology

“Unlike Google which searches for information, platform searches for people, enabling it to enhance the way we relate to each other in many ways,” explains the organisation’s official website.

To support this, the platform will carry its own currency - Humans Gen, which aims to enhance the daily lives and experiences of users across the platform. Humans Gen will allow users to make transactions within the platform swiftly, with zero transaction fees.

The cryptocurrency will allow users to not only make payments but earn money on their activities through reward payments. They intend for 25% of all revenue their platform generates to be redistributed among its inbuilt community.

Users utilizing the platform and its currency can expect to hold a stake in a burgeoning platform that enables freelance workers to be hired to complete tasks, and showcases their skills to the world - but ultimately they intend to build a universal platform which has the potential to eclipse today’s social media for entertainment while keeping people, ‘humans’, at its core.

CEEK

CEEK is the result of two industries with huge potential merging. The company primarily deals in virtual reality, and specializes in VR headsets as well as sourcing high-profile entertainment for them.

The VR infrastructure surrounding CEEK is certainly impressive, with users capable of attending virtual venues and watch concerts as well as sporting events inside the comfort of their own homes.

CEEK’s foray into the cryptocurrency market came when the company discovered that by setting up their own monetary format, they could enable customers to make purchases while using their VR headsets - giving them the chance to own virtual items via secure and easy transactions.

The platform uses proof of stake and voting to provide users with an unprecedented level of control and choice over what happens within the virtual world.

CEEK’s cryptocurrency is available to purchase right away and is currently listed on Exrates, LATOKEN, RightBTC, Coinsuper, IDEX and Bancor among other reputable exchange websites. Already in possession of strategic partnerships with NBA teams, Universal Music and Apple, there’s plenty of potential behind CEEK’s advanced and convenient entertainment technology, too.
