While some states allow cryptocurrency (Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, Singapore), while others pursue a policy of “prohibit and not let go,” the popularity of various digital money is only growing. Here the most promising cryptocurrencies of 2019 according to the latest data from the Chinese Center for the Development of Information Technologies, as well as the publications of U.Today and Investopedia. All prices are current at the date of publication of the article
10. DASH (the name of the tokens is DASH)
The price for the token is 7,540.61 rubles.
Opens a list of cryptocurrency, originally known as darkcoin - a more secretive version of bitcoins. DASH offers more anonymity because it works in a decentralized network with master codes, which makes transactions virtually unobservable.
In March 2015, Darkcoin was renamed DASH, which means "digital money." Rebranding has not changed the functionality of the technological functions of this decentralized payment system, including DarkSend anonymous payment technology and InstantX technology, which provides instant verification and protection, without confirming the payment in the DASH blockchain.
9. NEO (NEO)
The price for the token is 693.30 rubles.
One of the most profitable cryptocurrencies in 2019 began its life in 2014. Originally a nonprofit project called Antshares, it was later renamed by its creator Da Hongfei.
Today it is the largest cryptocurrency that has appeared in China, sometimes it is called "Chinese Ethereum" due to the similar use of smart contracts.
In 2017, NEO experienced its most successful period, the value of the token soared from $ 0.16 to $ 162.
One of the keys to NEO's success is programming support in many existing languages, including Go, Java, C ++, and others. In addition, NEO benefited from its positive relationship with the Chinese government, which is known for its irreconcilable stance towards cryptocurrencies.
8. Monero (XMR)
Price for token - 4,278.05 rubles.
This popular open-source digital currency was launched in April 2014 and soon attracted great interest among the cryptographic community. The development of Monero is entirely based on donations made by community members.
Due to its exceptional security mechanisms, this cryptocurrency has gained a dubious reputation as the “favorite” of criminals around the world. But it is undeniable that Monero has made important technological advances in the cryptocurrency space.
7. IOTA (IOTA)
Price for token - 19.68 rubles.
Founded in 2015, IOTA is the most unique in the ranking of the 10 most promising cryptocurrencies of 2019. It is based on technology called a “tangle” or DAG (directed acyclic graph), and not on blockchain technology.
You've probably heard about the Internet of Things (IoT)? In short, this is a large number of objects (devices and sensors), combined with each other via the Internet. With such close integration of the virtual and real worlds, communication between people and devices takes place. And IOTA makes this communication more secure and hassle-free.
The biggest advantage that IOTA offers is a zero transaction fee. When all other cryptocurrencies face scalability issues, IOTA technology promises infinite scalability. M
However, this cryptocurrency has relied on the success of the developing industry - the Internet of things, which makes its future even more unpredictable than in the case of other participants in the top 10 best cryptocurrencies.
6. Zcash (ZEC)
Price for token - 4 351.09 rubles.
An open source decentralized cryptocurrency launched in the second half of 2016 looks promising. “If bitcoin is like http for money, then Zcash is https,” is one of the analogies that Zcash uses to attract users.
The idea underlying Zcash will definitely appeal to even those who don’t use the darknet to make purchases: this blockchain was created for people who want their transactions to remain private. Although all transactions are recorded and published on the blockchain, details such as the sender, receiver and amount remain confidential.
Zcash also offers its users a choice of “shielded” transactions that allow you to encrypt content using advanced cryptographic techniques or a zero-knowledge construct called gk-SNARK.
5. Litecoin (LTC)
Price for token - 5,097.93 rubles.
One of the first cryptocurrencies following Bitcoin was created by Charlie Lee, a former Google engineer.
The cryptocurrency Litecoin system is based on an open source global payment network that is not controlled by any central authority. Although Litecoin is very similar to Bitcoin in many ways, it has a higher block generation speed and therefore offers faster transaction confirmation. You can trade and exchange Litecoin in most popular cryptocurrency exchanges.
The number of sellers who accept Litecoin is constantly growing. As of April 15, 2019, Litecoin had a market capitalization of $ 5.11 billion and a token value of $ 83.
4. Ripple (XRP)
Price for token - 20.63 rubles.
According to U.Today, XRP is the second largest digital currency after bitcoins in terms of market capitalization. However, the Ripple cryptocurrency platform, to which these tokens belong, works on completely different principles than Bitcoin. It was created for large financial institutions, and not for individual users, and serves to facilitate cross-border payments, making them amazingly fast and cheap.
Ripple Labs has received tremendous support from corporate investors (such as Google), and now this cryptocurrency is being implemented by Asian banks and financial institutions around the world.
3. Ethereum (Ether)
Price for token - 10 574.34 rubles.
Ethereum (Ethereum) is a blockchain-based platform for developing decentralized applications and smart contracts. Ether is a proprietary cryptocurrency used for all transactions in the Ethereum blockchain.
Smart or smart contracts are agreements encoded in the blockchain, and they are executed when certain (predefined) conditions are met. This means that if you have an idea to create a project or application that uses blockchain technology, you do not need to develop your own blockchain. Instead, you can start building it on the Ethereum blockchain.
Ethereum is currently the most popular platform for creating smart contracts. However, at the moment she is facing fierce competition in the market from NEO and Cardano, which offer similar platforms, but with improved technologies.
2. TRON (TRX)
The price for the token is 1.71 rubles.
The second most popular cryptocurrency of 2019, in just 252 days from the launch day, managed to reach the mark of 2 million accounts.
The mentioned time period is worth noting because TRON competitors, such as Ethereum, could only boast of 25,887 accounts over the same period of time, and reached the 2 million account mark only after 660 days.
Mining in the TRON network is not provided, and the total number of tokens is limited to 100 billion, like Ripple or Stellar.
1. EOS (EOS)
Price for token - 347.27 rubles.
Here is the answer to the question which cryptocurrency is the most promising in 2019. One of the newest digital currencies, which appeared in June 2018, was created by cryptocurrency pioneer Dan Larimer. Prior to working on EOS, Larimer founded the Bitshares financial platform for digital currency exchange, as well as the blockchain-based platform for social networks - Steemit.
EOS is one of the most profitable digital currencies in history, having managed to attract a record $ 4 billion in investor funds through crowdsourcing.
The basis of EOS is the EOS.IO software, which is similar to the computer’s operating system and acts as a blockchain network.
Interestingly, in EOS there is no mining mechanism for the production of coins. Instead, you can buy EOS on the Ethereum network. Tokens are distributed among investors according to the size of the shares they have contributed.
Investing in bitcoins: does it make sense?
The chances that Bitcoin will reach its previous growth of 1000% are small: the cryptocurrency community recognizes that there are more technologically advanced alternatives.
New altcoins appear every day, and their developers continue to amaze the audience with innovative features and technological superiority of their solutions. And no one can guarantee that the price of Bitcoin will be able to break its previous records and again reach $ 20,000.
