Publisher's Synopsis
Cryptocurrency is here, and it is here to stay.
For those who always predicted this, it comes as no surprise that Bitcoin is increasing in popularity and acceptance. Once perceived as being from the 'dodgier sides' of the internet, the cryptocurrency has been steadily becoming more mainstream with each passing day.
In these times of popularity for the Bitcoin, many of us would prefer to turn to alternate sources and invest early to reap greater rewards in the future. To put it quite simply, altcoins are alternatives to Bitcoins or alternative cryptocurrencies.
The more visionary of altcoins are looking to replace Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency industry. This shift might very well happen in the near future. Newer cryptocurrencies are developing protocols, using software, security systems, and other languages as modifiers atop the existing Bitcoin model to make better and more functional systems.
Throughout the course of this book, we will look at the 5 fastest growing altcoins, their respective background, trading and mining details:
- Ethereum
- Litecoin
- Monero
- Ripple
- Zcash
We're fortunate enough to be in a time where a $100 dollar investment could yield immeasurable returns. Why wait any longer?
