Publisher's Synopsis
Altcoins, as the name suggests, are alternative cryptocurrencies that do not operate on the Bitcoin protocol. In this book, you will learn about many of the most popular and heavily traded altcoins.
The primary altcoins discussed in this book are all in the top 15 in terms of market capitalization at the time of this publication. The current cryptocurrency leaders are updated regularly on www.coinmarketcap.com, so it is recommended to check that website for cryptocurrency pricing and market capitalization updates. As you'll soon discover in this book, many of these top 15 contenders have the potential to hold or improve their positions in the cryptocurrency standings in the years ahead. And some may even have the potential to displace the Bitcoin King for the #1 spot.
