The experts generally agree that the future of cryptocurrencies is up in the air. It's still being written and we don't know where it will all go. Bitcoin may not be top dog forever. It would actually be quite surprising if it did! There are new innovations all the time and one of these innovations may render Bitcoin useless or irrelevant. To protect your investment it is advised to diversify across between 6 to 12 different cryptocurrencies. This way, if anything happens to Bitcoin you won't lose everything. Not only this, but it allows you to take advantage of some stellar returns on the newer, more speculative altcoins. As we all know Market is in the bearish trend now and its a awesome opportunity to diversify portfolio. If u are involved in cryptocurrency there are some undervalued altcoins which have good tech and future.
following are my favorite cryptocurrency
1. Bitcoin
Last year bitcoin crossed 19345$ on market and on of the most dominated cryptocurrency on CMC. Still there are massive number of people who don't know what cryptocurrencies are. When they do, the first they hear about is Bitcoin. If they were to invest, they would most likely invest in Bitcoin first and foremost. For this reason alone, I believe that Bitcoin is going to experience amazing growth in 2018.
Current Price: $8751 USD
1 Year Prediction: $50,000 USD
2. Ethereum
More than just a cryptocurrency, this is the premiere blockchain which processes Smart Contracts. Used extensively in ICOs. Has some issues, but there are very intelligent people working on solving them. Once people learn about Bitcoin, the next crypto they find out about is generally Ethereum. This alone will help prop up the price in 2018.
Current Price: $657 USD
1 Year Prediction: $2500 USD
3. Litecoin
This is one of the original Alt-Coins. I've been a huge fan of Litecoin since the early days. Let's compare it to Bitcoin. Litecoin is more innovative, faster and requires less electricity to mine compared to Bitcoin. Litecoin is designed to have four times as many coins as Bitcoin. It's much more practical as a medium of exchange than Bitcoin. It has been said that Litecoin is to Bitcoin as Silver is to Gold. It should probably be valued at at least 1/10th the price of Bitcoin but price doesn't always follow functionality. You have to take popularity into consideration too.
Current Price: $300 USD
1 Year Prediction: $1000 USD
4. Monero
This one is a solid alt-coin as well. The main point is that Monero is way more anonymous than Bitcoin. This will obviously appeal to a certain demographic. In the past year it has increased in value by over 15x.
Current Price: $233 USD
1 Year Prediction: $850 US
Which cryptocurrencies and new altcoins do you like to add to your portfolio in for 2018 and why?
Analyzing your comment, the words are well placed and also interesting, but in my opinion Litecoin and Monero need to reformulate their structures if they want to stay in the top 10, coins such as: NEO, Waves, Qtum, Stratis, Zcash are working all the time, to have improvements in their structures and platforms and this is an aspect that will be charged in future, which is quality.
