This has been the biggest and most awaited question by any of them in the market. As cryptocurrencies are becoming increasing in number, so is the volatility and price factor in it. However, Bitcoin is still the most popular cryptocurrency which is ruling the technology industry right now. So what about Altcoin? Can they make any change? Is the Altcoin Season much near? This blog is set to answer all your queries with the desired answers and statistics.
What can Altcoins do for 2020?
The cryptocurrency market is going through a tremendous change right from the month of September 2019. For the fourth quarter of the year 2019, both Bitcoins, as well as Altcoins, made huge profits. However, popular altcoins such as Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) were experiencing losses, some small value altcoins such as XTZ, LINK, performed well.
So what to expect for the year 2020 with Altcoin? When can we expect the Altcoin Season to be?
Initially, let me explain to you for the month of January. Here are the top currencies which performed well:
- Bitcoin SV
- Dash
- Bitcoin Gold
- Ethereum Classic
- Zcash
All these currencies were having a very good month similar to Bitcoin but not parallel to Bitcoin, however! For the previous month, most of the altcoins doubled their prices when compared to Altcoins.
Let me brief you on the Top Altcoins which can change the year 2020.
