In the last few years Ethereum has really held up its place. But it should be noted that Ripple is doing pretty great and it has a really good chance to move higher.
Topic: Last years top 10 coins and coming years top 10 coins (Read 140 times)
If Ethereum keeps losing price and XRP shows promise, the second spot can change, just saying. But that would take a bit of time frame.
In the coming year there will not be much changes in the list, specially for the top 5 places. If there is a big change in any one of these coins we might see a change in the list.
I will just say that seeing the top ten for 2018 makes me more confident about btc and eth that i have been supporting and advocating to others, both of them are my personal favorite for longterm holding, among others i find cardano as the new shining star and i think will have bright future.
Was there bitcoin cash during 2017? I mean there was but wasn't it late to the party? It came out during summer I believe which means the coin wasn't even there for the first six months so I don't know how reasonable it is to put them there.
Aside from that I think putting "tether" into the top coins is also not reasonable considering that is not exactly a coin but something we base the dollar on so we can actually trade via dollar instead of actually using dollar, it is basically just a token, a symbol. Some of the coins are surprise to me like I wasn't expecting cardano there but it is, so sometimes most unexpected coins can achieve more than you think

The top coins are many times considered those that are in the top marketcap, however for me the top coins are those that are going to make a higher pump in time.
in fact, only Bitcoin, Ripple and Ethereum remain stable. It seems to me that it is in these coins that you need to invest
I think that in the first rows there will always be Bitcoin and Ethereum and the rest of the positions will change, so we will see new coins in the top. I think that even the Ripple may drop below !
I think that in a year we will see a situation close to this:
1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. XRP
4. Eos
5. Stellar
6. Litecoin
7. Cardano
8. Tron
9. Tezos
10. Tether
1. Bitcoin
2. Ethereum
3. XRP
4. Eos
5. Stellar
6. Litecoin
7. Cardano
8. Tron

10. Tether
If I let me predict the top 5 cryptocurrencies in the future, then I think it should be
- Bitcoin
-XRP
-ETH
-BCH
-EOS
And I think Bitcoin will always be the king!

I don't see much change either for 2019, though I assume a few top 10-20 projects may move into the top 10 regions. I mean, $NEO may get back its spot in there....I also think projects like Vechain and the Binance Coin can certainly get into top 10.....shame to say, but Tron probably has a shot at top 10 too 
.
But. Things can go quite fast in the crypto space...who knows if projects outside the top 50 can suddenly become a top 20 player (like Elastos for example)....

I think the top 3 spot won't change much on 2019, unless of course there major change on each of these platforms.
Number 1 will remain number 1 i guess and Bitcoin deserve it because it gives birth to all others. 
Have been looking at historical CmC snapshots around the second week of October.
This is how the top 10 has been looking from 2014-2018, there are many projects that come and go and few remain.
What are your opinions, will we ever see a "stable(ish)" top 10 or will this always remain "messy".
And what Projects do you see as top 10 projects the coming years?
IMO i think the top 10 will remain unstable the coming years as we are just at the start with the blockchain tech and allot of new "revolutionary" projects will come and go.
