What do you think which will be the best alternative of bitcoin in 2018? Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Verge or Zcash?
Today, no altcoine can replace bitcoin. For example, look at the etherium. The coin depreciated so much that it can not rise above 300 dollars. Bitcoin has already risen in price to 7200, and the etherium is trading at 290-295.
Perhaps in 2019, new more promising coins will appear. But now the situation is very difficult.
In my opinion, the price indicator is not yet an indicator of the state of development of a certain type of cryptocurrency. The fact that ethereum has now fallen in price to $ 200, I do not think that its usefulness has fallen from this. Most likely, there is the usual manipulation of the market. Personally, I rate ethereum much higher than its current price. After a while this coin will grow in popularity very much.
