While bitcoin was the original cryptocurrency, there have been thousands of new ones released over the past decade.
Each cryptocurrency has its own mechanism to validate transactions and is based on different protocols. While it can be overwhelming sorting through all the various options, one of the best-performing coins has been Ethereum. Since its inception in the middle of 2015, Ethereum has climbed from $1 to over $4,000. Over the last year, it’s up 975%.
