Total market cap of 75B is low compared to the amount of financial assets wealthy people intend to hide. Safe bet.

Utter shit.
3 Ethereum Ethereum $12,559,746,849 $121.51 $1,827,730,739 103,366,457 ETH -11.27% sparkline
Crappy dapps, doesn't scale, promoting unlicensed securities, even its founder wants it to die.
Shit.
4 Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin Cash $3,554,189,930 $203.42 $64,429,897 17,472,600 BCH -14.13% sparkline
They got rid of CSW but they offer nothing new. Cryptos are not for day to day payments.
Shit but with some short term flipping games potential.
5 Stellar Stellar $3,495,881,427 $0.182553 $84,630,035 19,149,936,295 XLM * -10.29% sparkline

Chinese backed big play scam, avoid at all cost. Plus they're going in the wrong direction (ethereum-like).
Utter shit.

Bitcoin's autistic brother. Small userbase but kinda pegged to bitcoin.
Ok.

Wrong direction as ethereum-like, but was hit very hard. Still reasonably good team.
Kinda shit.
10 Monero Monero $1,050,959,908 $63.35 $13,734,874 16,590,538 XMR -8.84% sparkline
There's always gonna be use of monero; whether or not the price is supposed to be high hard to tell.

This made a killing since it was first released. Like it or not, Binance is the exchange with the biggest reputation. The catch is that once you're at the top, the only way you can move is downwards. Just use it to edge.
Ok.

Kinda shit.
21 Maker Maker $285,001,338 $391.36 $760,923 728,228 MKR * -13.38% sparkline
Interesting. Perhaps too hard for people to understand. But that's what made many not invest in bitcoin in the early days.
Ok.
22 VeChain VeChain $284,277,546 $0.005126 $7,652,555 55,454,734,800 VET * -11.79% sparkline

Another Chinese blockchain wannabe revolution. At least this one taps into an interesting area gotta admit. But meh.
Kinda shit.
25 OmiseGO OmiseGO $236,163,059 $1.68 $20,936,760 140,245,398 OMG * -16.25% sparkline
Only good at profiting from befriending Vitalik Buterin because he's autistic and has no other friends. He's still a genius, but his popularity (and ETH's) is gonna keep dropping.
Shit.
Let's see in a year what the CMC top 25 is gonna look like.
