Chest discomfort, shortness of breath, cold sweat, nausea, and lightheadedness. Those might sound like the signs of a heart attack, but they can also be the after-effects of a cryptocurrency investment.

Over the last few years, cryptocurrencies have been gaining momentum. And everyone with money to invest has been trying to figure out if cryptocurrency is the real deal or not. There is nothing wrong with being a skeptic. But given all the signs, it seems like cryptocurrencies are here to stay. So,investors should at least explore what opportunities and options are available to them.

Crypto Market Trends and Growth

The whole cryptocurrency revolution started with Bitcoin in 2008. Initially, Bitcoin was just something technologists were excited about. But things have changed. The passion of a few has turned into a crypto fervor for millions around the world. The year 2017 has been a year of ups and downs for Bitcoin. It broke all records and reached its highest peak near $20,000 in December and then managed to lose over half of its value in early 2018.

Even though Bitcoin is the most prominent cryptocurrency, it is not the only one. Every few days a new cryptocurrency is being introduced. At the start of 2018, the market analysts were tracking 1,380 cryptocurrencies, with a combined market cap of around $750 billion. At the beginning of the 2017, the market cap was at $17 billion. That is more than 4400% of growth in a year, which is significantly higher than was predicted by the most optimistic of analysts.

Early 2018 has seen a market correction, dropping the market cap to as low as $250 billion, and then resurging to around $430 billion by end of April. At the most extreme of the downward fall, many were calling this a bubble finally popped. Yet a bubble which grows back that strongly after a pop is not a bubble by definition — it’s a reality check for an overheated market of a new investment asset class. A reality check driven by regulatory stabilization which is finally turning an opportunistic asset into something understood and accepted by the more traditional investors.

The vast majority of financial analysts predict the overall long-term growth of the cryptocurrency market, with a potential for combined market cap to surpass the level of $5 trillion by 2020.

There is absolutely no doubt that cryptocurrency market and blockchain technology is the future. One of the most spectacular examples is the usage of the blockchain technology by global corporations such as Walmart, IBM, and Nestle in order to optimize their business processes. The economic benefits of such projects include reduced operational time and lower personnel costs.

The Paradox of Crypto Choice

Even though the overall crypto market is growing, it’s also becoming more complex. The sheer amount of choices available is mind-boggling. When investors try to find a worthy investment from more than 1,300 cryptocurrencies, they are left with the paradox of choice. According to the paradox of choice theory, if someone is given too many choices, they end up not taking any action.

In the arena of cryptocurrencies, this might be true. The crypto market is flooded with so many choices that regular consumers and investors don’t have a clue where to start. Besides Bitcoin, there is Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, Litecoin, Cardano, NEM, IOTA, Dash, Monero and a thousand others. There needs to be a better way to choose cryptocurrencies. Investors need better tools that can help them with their crypto investments.

Choosing a Crypto Winner

Every time a new and more technically sophisticated cryptocurrency hits the market, it has all chances to become popular and take one of the top positions in this field. However, keeping in mind the overwhelming number of new projects and emergence of more advanced technologies, the technological leader of today may easily become an outsider tomorrow.

In order to have a stable place in the market, the cryptocurrency has to reach the adequate capitalization level and attract numerous investors to raise the money required for the project development. That’s why

even the most prospective and technically advanced cryptocurrency that doesn’t have a required level of capitalization may simply stay unnoticed.

That’s why investors have not only to research the technological base of the cryptocurrency but to understand its real capitalization while choosing the cryptocurrency for investment. Investors also need to understand how the change of the overall capitalization of the cryptocurrency market will affect the development and implementation of a specific project.

The Volatility of the Market

A major problem the long-term investors face with cryptocurrencies is their volatility. The law of supply and demand dictates the price swings in every commodities market. Cryptocurrencies, however, have smaller market sizes compared to fiat currencies. Moreover, as is the case with most new asset classes in history, the asset holdings are spread unevenly, with significant chunks of supply held by a small number of investors. As a result, trades lead to much sharper price swings compared to traditional asset classes.

Also, up until recently proper regulations were not in place globally. This added a high level of uncertainty. Add to it the hacking and trust issues and the result is that public sentiments about particular coins change rapidly. Sentiment swings equals high volatility. So, the market volatility of digital currencies is a major issue for investors and reason for a lot of sleepless nights.

Now let’s imagine that you have a chance to invest your money into the market as a whole and not in a specific cryptocurrency. Individual volatilities would then partially offset each other and result in a trend that’s much less vulnerable to specific public sentiment swings.

Well, this is exactly the case with the newest project on the block, the ZNAQ Index. The Index reflects the overall capitalization of the cryptocurrency market rather than the performance of the select few currencies. The ZNAQ Index makes it possible to earn money on the potential growth of the cryptocurrency market without the need to analyze and research hundreds of cryptocurrencies. Keeping in mind favorable forecasts about the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market, the ZNAQ Index investment looks very reasonable.

Believing in the Overall Crypto Market

We have found a solution for the volatility issue. Through our research and experience, we have developed the ZNAQ Index. The Index value is directly derived from the average capitalization of the market of cryptocurrencies representing all market trends.

A proprietary algorithm is applied to analyse the price of each cryptocurrency and exchange it is traded on. The process of calculation involves all the deals executed prior to the calculation date, as well as those executed right now. We calculate the average capitalization of each cryptocurrency, and hence, the average market capitalization. Thereafter, the result is divided by a constant figure — 100 billion. Such division is required in order to make the index simpler and easier to understand.

The ZNAQ Index is traded as a token the sell and buy price of which is hard-wired to the Index value at any given time through proprietary smart contracts. Investors are thus getting a digital asset which can be traded within the Ethereum. By means of an example, in December 2016 the price of the ZNAQ token would have been around $0.15, while in December 2017 it would have passed $6.

Why Invest in the ZNAQ Token?

The ZNAQ Token is an investment asset in itself, but it also serves a number of functions. In order to enhance liquidity of the Token, ZNAQ Global Foundation, the company behind the project, is developing an extensive infrastructure comprised of several platforms:

ZNAQ Exchange is the primary trading platform for the token, which will allow token holders to trade their ZNAQ tokens back and forth with other digital currencies as well as analyse currency pair trends using a neat visual toolset. The Exchange will have its own API, to be distributed to other partner exchanges to ensure maximum trading coverage, and eventually tied into the United Trading System.

ZNAQ Analytics is a research and analytics service platform, which will serve as a comprehensive cryptocurrency information portal providing forecast reports, pre-ICO analysis, recommendations,

technical analysis and other products essential for digital currency investors. A key feature of Analytics will be a proprietary sub-platform for assembling and analysing multi-currency portfolios. The Analytics service will be subscription-based, payable in ZNAQ tokens.

ZNAQ Cryptex is a trading platform for cryptocurrency pairs, allowing to operate with different trading products in the form of a Futures contract and a leverage of up to 100x. ZNAQ Tokens will be used as a currency of deposit and will be the only source of deposit and balance.

Further uses of the Token will be developed at later stages of the project. If you believe in the long-term growth of the overall cryptocurrency market, you believe in the value of ZNAQ tokens. With ZNAQ Token, we provide you an easy and reliable way to make money off the growth of the cryptocurrency market. At last, you can invest in cryptocurrencies without losing your peace of mind.

The ZNAQ Token Pre-Sale starts May 14, 2018, offering special discounts and bonuses, which will be reduced each week. Furthermore, all the participants of the Token Sale will get free access to all the features of ZNAQ Analytics as a great bonus.
