Best Cryptocurrencies in 2017
2017 was a tremendous year for crypto currencies in terms of gains. In 2017 BTC rose from under $1,000 to as high as $20,000. On January 1st 2017, the top five coins in terms of marketcap were Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and Monero. The thing I was interested in finding out was, out of those top 5 crypto coins, which one realized the largest gain over 2017. What the numbers show is quite surprising!
