Best Cryptocurrency to Invest In

What are the top cryptocurrencies for investors?

Since Bitcoin arrived on the scene in 2009, cryptocurrencies have been gaining in popularity. While conceived of as an alternative means of exchange—without the need for government-backed (or “fiat”) money—today crypto is also seen as a potential investment.



Types of Cryptocurrency

There are more than 9,500 cryptocurrencies on the market today. But the best ones for investing are those that have a large market capitalization. Just like when you’re looking at stocks, you can use a market cap to consider the total value of an issued crypto coin.

The larger the market cap, the more likely it is to be liquid. There’s also a better chance it will stand the test of time. But unlike stocks, cryptocurrency issuers don’t publish financial statements. Be sure you use the limited metrics that do exist.

There’s no guarantee that any cryptocurrency, no matter how big or popular, won’t just disappear. These assets have no regulated financial or governmental intermediary. When trying to figure out which is the best cryptocurrency for you to invest in, check to see if it’s available on an exchange.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin (BTC) kicked off the crypto revolution when it was created in 2009. The original creator remains somewhat of a mystery. But Bitcoin’s unconfirmed founder (or founders) is known as Satoshi Nakamoto. As of May 4, 2021, Bitcoin's market cap is more than $1 trillion.

Bitcoin made it possible for people around the world to send money to each other almost instantly.

There's no need to worry about exchange rates or bank wire transfer fees.

Bitcoin is finding mainstream acceptance as a method of payment. As an investment, though, its price has seen wild fluctuations. In early 2017, its price crossed $1,000 for the first time, skyrocketing to more than $19,000 toward the end of the year; it then crashed to around $3,000 a year later. By April 2021, Bitcoin had gained momentum again, crossing $64,000 before seeing some price correction.

Ethereum

While Ethereum (ETH) launched in 2015, it was first conceptualized in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin.6 Ethereum uses blockchain technology, but it’s programmable. Ethereum is designed to be open access and provide a variety of applications.

The way Ethereum works makes it possible to do more than handle money. It’s one of the drivers behind “smart contract” technology. This means that various agreements can be executed securely directly between parties. For instance, a real estate purchase could be completed using Ethereum without the need for an escrow account.

Bitcoin Cash

Introduced in 2017, Bitcoin Cash is one of the most popular types of cryptocurrency on the market. Its main difference with the original Bitcoin is its block size: 8MB. Compare that to the original Bitcoin’s block size of just 1MB. What that means for users—faster processing speeds.

Litecoin

Litecoin is increasingly used in the same breath as Bitcoin, and it functions practically the same way. It was created in 2011 by Charlie Lee, a former employee of Google. He designed it to improve on Bitcoin technology, with shorter transaction times, lower fees, more concentrated miners.

Ripple

Ripple is one type of cryptocurrency on the list, but it’s not Blockchain-based. It’s not meant so much for individual users as it is for larger companies and corporations, moving larger amounts of money (its coinage is known as XRP) across the globe.

It’s more well-known for its digital payment protocol more than for its XRP crypto. That’s because the system allows for the transfer of monies in any form, be it dollars or even Bitcoin (or others). It claims to be able to handle 1,500 transactions per second (tps). Compare this with Bitcoin, which can handle 3-6 tps (not including scaling layers). Ethereum can handle 15 tps.

While Bitcoin launched a new asset class little more than a decade ago, today there are many different cryptocurrencies for investors to learn about and invest in.

Smart contract in Blockchain

A technology that will change the way you trust through an automated contract management system. A smart contract is an agreement between two parties in the form of computer code. They run on the blockchain, so they are stored on a public database and cannot be changed. The transactions that happen in a smart contract processed by the blockchain means they can be sent automatically without a third party. In 1994, Nick Szabo (a cryptographer), came up with the idea of being able to record contracts in the form of computer code. This contract would be activated automatically when certain conditions are met. This idea could potentially remove the need for trusted third-party companies (such as banks). But why? The answer is simple — because you no longer need a trusted third party when you make a transaction. Instead, the contracts (or transactions) are self-executed on a trusted network that is completely controlled by computers. Cool idea, right? Szabo worked on this idea for many y...
