Some folks end up investing in the wrong coin by getting bad advice or simply not being able to differentiate between the good, the bad and the really awful!So here is a disclaimer: I love ARK. I believe in ARK. The majority of my crypto investments are in ARK.Not much diversification there I hear you say! Admittedly, I have invested in a couple of other projects with similar potential but none have captured my imagination as much as ARK.What makes ARK so special in my opinion? Is it the dedicated and talented team who have built something that actually works rather than pay lip service to the project and churn out a product which is convenient for them? Or perhaps the fact that the team are creating easy-to-use blockchain technology which will have mass market appeal? A few clicks and you have your own blockchain!! It’s a no-brainer!!Let’s not talk about the current value of the coin but one should look at the big picture, the size of what is being built and what ARK can and will achieve. When you invest in a coin you have to look beyond the hype and ask yourself who are the team members? Who are the advisers and contributors? What is the underlying technology? Is it a bricks and mortar operation (do they actually have an office?).ARK works, plain and simple. It can work for everyone, not just in a few niche markets. It can operate in retail, supply chain and IoT. This year blockchains are really taking off and ARK is at the forefront of this technology.Let’s not forget DpoS (delegate proof of stake). This gives me a nice income, way more than I could ever get from leaving my cash in a risky and dishonest banking system.ARK has a fantastic, vibrant community and delivers what it promises. ARKv2 has been a lot of hard work but it will bring this project to new heights. When investing in a coin and its related infrastructure, look for sustainability and never go in just expecting short-term gains. A lot of crypto projects are simply doomed to fail since they don’t have those magic ingredients needed to stand out from the crowd.Here are some useful links to the social media groups, websites and exchanges where ark can be traded:Web: https://ark.io/News: https://blog.ark.io/Forum: https://forum.ark.io/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/arkecosystemTwitter: https://twitter.com/ArkEcosystemYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpc2k6zOOutGT9y56urDClgReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/arkecosystemGithub: https://github.com/ArkEcosystemExchanges:Bittrex: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-ARKBinance: https://www.binance.com/trade.html?symbol=ARK_BTCOkEx: https://www.okex.com/?forward=%2Fspot%2Ftrade%2Findex.do#symbol=ark_btcCoss.io: https://exchange.coss.io/pair/ark-btcCryptopia: https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Exchange/?market=ARK_BTCBit-Z: https://bit-z.com/trade/ark_btcUpBit: https://upbit.com/exchange?code=CRIX.UPBIT.BTC-ARKLiteBit: https://www.litebit.eu/en/buy/arkCoinSpot: https://www.coinspot.com.au/buy/arkCryptoMate: https://cryptomate.co.uk/buy-ark/CoinSwitch: https://www.coinswitch.co/exchange/btc/arkSimpleSwap: https://www.simpleswap.io/Ark — Opportunity Knocks was originally published in Decentralize Today on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
