What will the top 5 cryptocurrencies be on Jan. 1, 2020?
Lots of upcoming projects are out to displace ETH. The drawdown in relation to the hist. max is almost 90% (remember $1300?). EOS, NEO, Tron, Tezos etc... Great competition. But BTC looks to stay for long, anyway.
I am not sure that something will change greatly. Bitcoin will be the leader, and Ethereum will follow it. However, I guess that Ripple can lose many positions. Now, it is not as popular as before, and fewer people are ready to invest in XRP as they started to understand that Ripple is not "to-the-Moon" currency. Binance coin has more chances to get higher and even take the 3rd place.
Yeah, I tend to agree that the time period till Jan. 1, 2020 won't introduce significant changes. Ripple is already is not that promising... Not bad pump&dump instrument.
As for BNB, it shows a steady growth even though the project is young.
I'd say also that in long term, as it seems to me now, ETH is losing positions, but I'm still waiting for the news and updates.
Btw, LTC is gaining a market share. Looking carefully. Probably it would be a valuable investment at least in mid term.
