Which media? Why no URLs included? When there is no proper references are available within your post, why not we just assume it is your own list of cryptos and you want list them here as you have invested into those cryptos. People are creating false discussion on their favorite cryptos just to create fake hype.

Bitcoin started this year  at the price levels around $3k and then peaked up to $13.5k levels still your list is not including bitcoin. I'm not sure what are the criteria you have considered for your list but price levels must be one of the primary criteria that you must consider for finding list of best performing cryptos. Currently bitcoin is trading double the rate of its beginning price levels of this year. I mean to say even if you consider the recent downfall of bitcoin, it is still doing good according to its this year's start prices.
