certainly the crips have come and have exponential growth in recent months, it is for this reason that this will be a great year for many crypts, here are some with great potential.
Bitcoin
He started the year 2017 quoting US $ 963, with many experts predicting a closing price, at best, of US $ 5,000, and many pessimists saying that it is a bubble constantly, but never mentioning when it would burst. To date, the Bitcoin price is over US $ 17,000, with a return of 1656%. 2018 should be a very positive year for Bitcoin, since it has just listed in the CBOE futures market and on December 18 it will be in CME, the largest in the world. While it is true that futures markets do not involve the direct purchase of Bitcoin - and therefore, a higher price associated with increased demand - they do open the possibility that the ETF, which would allow the arrival of huge amounts of institutional purchases, be feasible The most conservative projection places Bitcoin in 2020 at US $ 50,000, but if it manages to overcome the obstacles of 2018, it could reach US $ 1 million for that year.
Ethereum
It started the year by trading US $ 7.98, unlike Bitcoin, this currency had generated a higher expectation in its beginnings due to the possibility of generating smart contracts and the development of dapps that work in its ecosystem. To date it is priced at US $ 651, which represents a return of 8058%, much higher than Bitcoin during 2017. While it is true it does not have the popularity of the first, it does have a very intelligent leader in its creator Vitalik Buterin , an established and clear road map, many companies that have adopted their technology and are part of the Ethereum Alliance and a market capitalization potential, in my opinion, even greater than Bitcoin itself. By 2018, it should easily close above US $ 1,000, and when the dapps begin to consolidate and the use of its smart contracts platform becomes widespread, I foresee a horizon of US $ 10,000 at the end of 2020.
Litecoin
He started the year by trading US $ 4.33, being a digital currency that has been characterized by maintaining, in the world of cryptocurrencies, little volatility and constant growth, achieving a quote of US $ 316 to date, that is, a growth of 7198%. Its creator, Charlie Lee, argues that Litecoin is a Silver as Bitcoin is Gold, and could be said to be the younger brother of Bitcoin given the similarity with the leading cryptocurrency. The main advantage is that this cryptocurrency is faster and is designed for daily use, a place in which it has interesting competitors but is positioned as a leader. In addition next year the lightning network is expected, which will allow much faster transactions. By 2018 it is likely to continue its constant rise and reach in 2020 the value of US $ 5,000.
IOTA
This amazing cryptocurrency is one of the most impressive in terms of profitability, having been born in June of this year with a value of US $ 0.63, has managed to reach a date of US $ 4.72, that is, a return of 649% . The year 2018 is likely to be close to the profitability achieved by Litecoin or Ethereum during 2017, especially because of the fabulous potential of this project to change human life. This cryptocurrency bases its concept on machine-to-machine transactions, strengthening the concept of the Internet of things and, unlike other cryptocurrencies, it is not based on the Blockchain but on its own network, called Tangle, which allows it to generate no cost of transaction and be very fast. 2018 should reach US $ 30, and if it is consolidated by 2020 it could surpass even Bitcoin, and in this case I do not dare to put a number but its profitability would surpass any other cryptocurrency.
Maidsafecoin
This project is the outsider and, like IOTA, its concept is fabulous and it is not based on the Blockchain, creating its own network that would be called Safenet. The year began with a value of US $ 0.39 and to date its value is US $ 0.55. That is to say, he has barely achieved 41%. However, it is a project that is in Alpha 2 phase, very close to reaching the Alpha 3 phase, that is, it has not yet been launched. Its concept is the creation of a new Internet totally decentralized and without large companies that own our information. Although it is true that it is likely to be launched in the year 2020, the reward will be a possible value of at least US $ 200 when it reaches the market. Take into account that, being still a project, it is in Top 50 above other currencies already launched to the market.
