Which digital currencies will we invest in in 2020? This is a question that does not have the same answer, and according to the basic rule of investing, everyone must do the necessary research themselves and reach a final decision.

However, after a few days of researching different projects, in this article I am going to introduce 10 digital currencies that I think can be hoped for in 2020.

I have tried to examine as many different digital currencies with different rankings in the market as possible so that you can become more familiar with lesser known projects with high growth potential. Definitely successful projects like Chinlink, BAT, IAS and…. They could have been included in this article, but due to writing limitations and to some extent personal taste, there is no mention of them in this article. For example, since Atrium and IAS are two serious competitors to each other, and because, in my opinion, Atrium is the winner of this competition, IAS has no place in this list. However, you can examine the competitors of each project yourself and invest in your desired project.

Disclaimer: It is emphasized that this article is not an investment proposal in any way and all its content is the personal opinion of the author only. So do not rely solely on the content of this article in your decisions.

1. Bitcoin (BTC)

• Price at the time of writing : $ 7,027
• Rank in terms of market value at the time of writing : 1

The king of digital currencies, with more than 60% of the total market, in addition to being the first in the market, is also the first in this list, and the rest of the digital currencies to occupy this rank, at least at this point. They have nothing to say.

In addition to being the first, largest, and source of innovation, Bitcoin has proven itself well over the past ten years. The network has not experienced any major security hacks or breaches and has become one of the most secure computer networks in the world over the years. Observing the behavior of the market, it is well known that the price of many Altcoins (post-Bitcoin digital currencies) goes up and down with Bitcoin. Even most bitcoins (bitcoin lovers) believe that you should not saveBitcoin He invested in another digital currency.

Bitcoin is also the third bitcoin this year (2020) HawingExperiences himself; An event embedded in the code to control inflation, and once every four years the block bonus, or more precisely, halves the production of new bitcoins by miners. This event can drastically increase the value of bitcoin by drastically reducing supply and increasing scarcity.

History Bitcoin priceIt clearly shows that most of the time investors have not only not lost money from long-term holdings of bitcoins, but have made profits of several hundred and even several thousand percent. Therefore, adding bitcoin to the portfolio as the first option is the most logical thing to do.

2. Ether (ETH)

• Price at the time of writing : $ 168
• Rank in terms of market value at the time of writing : 2

Queen of digital currencies, Atrium, Has lost some of the enthusiasm that surrounded it in 2016 and 2017, but is still considered the largest and most reliable project available for decentralized applications.

Ether from the peak PriceSelf ($ 1,400), which was reached in 2018, is a long way off, and the current price is about 90% lower than the highest price. Although this price reduction may seem disappointing, it could indicate a very high growth rate. Atrium’s current competitors, especially Ias and perhaps Theron, have not been as popular as they should have been in the last two years, so Atrium could return to its good old days, given its clear track record and popularity among users and large corporations such as Microsoft.

Most likely in the summer of 2020, phase zero Atrium 2.0(ETH 2.0) is an operation that is one of the largest updates in the history of this network. This update includes moving toProof of stockAccording to it, instead of buying mining hardware, people should buy ether, allocate it to the network and receive a reward for confirming the transactions. We will also see an improvement in comparability (transaction speed and commission).

According to the above description, Ether will be the second best digital currencies for investment in 2020.

3. Ripple (XRP)

• Price at the time of writing: $ 0.18
• Rank in terms of market value at the time of writing: 3

Adding XRP to your portfolio alongside assets like bitcoin makes sense and could Portfolio diversification Help, because RippleIt is different from many digital currencies; While Bitcoin is the killer of banking, Ripple works mostly with banks.

Ripple dates back to 2004, four years before Bitcoin was introduced, but the company’s core business of building financial products based on distributed general ledgers began in 2011. Ripple introduced its tokens as XRP in January 2013. The XRP was offered to exchanges in 2013 at a price of $ 0.005 per unit, and in January 2018 reached its highest price in history, $ 3.8, which represents a price increase of more than 70,000%. After reaching its peak, the Ripple price lost more than 94% of its value during a long-term free fall. However, Ripple has been very stable and planned since its inception, and has signed numerous partnership agreements with banks and large financial companies, including MoneyGram.

Ripple is known for its sudden price spikes. Although this digital currency is highly correlated with Bitcoin, this correlation is much lower than other flagship digital currencies. According to website data «CryptowatchXRP correlation with bitcoin is about 59% in a one-year period, while ether and bitcoin cache are about 77% correlated with bitcoin each. This means that the price of XRP goes up and down much less in line with bitcoin than ether and bitcoin cache.

Although many experts believe that Ripple is a centralized network and should not be considered as a decentralized digital currency, history XRP price, Indicates that this asset is not a bad option to add to the portfolio. If you like Ripple structure but don’t like its philosophy,استلار A better option for you.

Expectations about Thezos were high from the start. The project raised more than $ 230 million in 2017 in its tokens pre-sale program, which at the time was one of the largest ICOs in the field’s history. But after the launch of the network, internal disputes between its founders prevented the project from being upgraded for a long time, causing its price to plummet. But after resolving the dispute, it has been almost two years since Tzus stabilized and the plans in its roadmap are being implemented one after the other.

Given the above, Tzus could be a low-risk investment in the high-risk digital currency market.
