Cryptocurrencies are making loud waves in the world today. Cryptocurrencies were born with the release of Bitcoin in 2009, almost ten years later, there are more than 3000 Cryptocurrencies in circulation and have attracted the attention of big corporations, banks, and even governmental establishments.
To simply define cryptocurrency, we would say a cryptocurrency is a digital money. It is a decentralized peer to peer monetary system based on blockchain technology and does not rely on any central bank authority to process, confirm and record transactions.
Never invest because the neighbor of his friend, brother, girlfriend, cousin swears on his mother's life that a particular currency is the next bitcoin. You should try to treat Crypto as an investor and not as a fashion. Bitcoin is, as the world knows now, successful. This article will show you other cryptocurrencies stomping the yard and breaking new promising grounds.
Ether (ETH)
Ether is Ethereum Token, a decentralized platform that allows the creation of decentralized applications (Dapps) using intelligent contract technology. Ethereum, an original idea of Vitalik Buterin, was launched in mid-2015 as a "new generation Crypto currency and a platform for decentralized applications" and has a market capitalization of $ 20,957,195,400.
Smart Contacts are what the Ethereum is all about; the cryptocurrency is a small part of a larger set. With Ethereum, people can develop and execute contracts without third parties.

Cardano (Ada)
The Cardano block chain was launched a few months ago and exploded in November with huge profits in its currency, called Ada, to enter the top 10 market capitalization crypts. At the last minute, he slipped to position 13.
Cardano, although relatively unknown, is obviously important in private transactions and meets the needs of regulators, which prepares it for massive adoption. Cardano CEO Charles Hoskinson says Cardano addresses "sustainability, interoperability and scalability," so cryptocurrency can be a "fun novelty" for billions of people and interact with old financial systems. Cardano’s Framework is still at an early stage (what the team calls its "start-up era"), and the next phase of its roadmap will begin in the second quarter of 2018. This means that their framework still exists to be developed, and it may take time for it to reach the intelligent and comprehensive contract platform that its leaders envision. This crypto has a Market capitalization of $20.21 billion. Currently, about 26 billion of a maximum of 45 billion coins are in circulation.
