As the price of BTC And ETH are rising, its becoming difficult to buy these cryptos and gain profits from it. Never mind here are a few alternatives which may come to mainstream in the future. These have some unique features which makes them an Interesting choice
DASH (Currently No.7)
DASH - Short for Digital Cash, the payments are quite fast when compared to bitcoin.[Block Size is around 2 minutes] It uses a protocol which mixes the transactions before sending them to the designated address, which makes it virtually impossible to trace it. Dash has been forked form Bitcoin, this property essentially makes it easy for this currency to adopt any features that BTC may have !
Current Price - $181.53IOTA (Currently No.8)
This one is for the future. As you may have heard that Quantum Computers pose a threat to the blockchain technology, however IOTA is built in such a way that it would be Quantum- Proof. It will not have any transaction fees. Also there will be no limits on transactions per block, the network will adjust to the traffic dynamically!
Current Price - $0.439556ANTSHARES (Currently No.13)
This is what people called china's Ethereum, I think this is highly undervalued as china is quite big as it supports multiple well known programming languages like - Java, Python, GO, Kotlin just to name a few. It has already attracted industry's big player. now rebranded as NEO, its available only on bittrex.
Currently Priced - $9.61PIVX (Currently No.44)
This coin is similar to dash (Basically a fork) but with some added features like - "Proof of Stake" over "Proof of Work", better block transaction time - 60 seconds vs 150 seconds (in Dash). Also this coin is not pre-mined. I have included this one as its current price is quite low compared to DASH.
Currently Valued at - $1.84
Maybe they won't be as big as BTC or ETH but they do have the potential to be adopted the market ! and you may earn may folds.
