2018 is going to be for privacy currencies like Verge, Monero , Zen cash and AEON.
AEON is one of the privacy focused digital currencies with very limited supply of 18.4 million and its price is very cheap now comparing to other privacy coins.
also,
- AEON is very mobile friendly , does not require much memory to run on a mobile device
- Better Scalability, currently most of the coins are having this scalability issue.
- Synch up takes very less time than other coins as the block time is only 4 minutes
- You can optionally make traceable transactions too which Monero does not have
- very Importantly it is already available in the Bittrex exchange , so at any moment it can boom.
