Simply because their demands is getting high each day. In the case of Ripple, this digital currency is backed by huge banks around the world and Ripple really served its purpose. Similar to Ripple, Stellar is also a digital currency that facilitates a cross-asset transfer which makes me think that both of them skyrocketed respectively.

Very risky indeed  because the moment that alt coin will have its market value plummets down so deep, it can cause panic that may lead you to sell your only altcoin at a lower price. Thus, you end up losing your money. But if you have the heart to risk it and fully understand the principles of HODLing, then go for it.

That is still vague to even speculate that XRP will overtake BTC be it short or long term. As we know it, bitcoin is already there and it's already dominating in the cryptoworld. What's only clear for me is that bitcoin is irreplaceable by any altcoin. As long as bitcoin is still around and its demand continues, XRP will always be below it.

I was even shocked that day when i saw Ether was replaced by Ripple in terms of market capitalization. I am starting to believe now that this alt coin has really a future since it is backed with banks across the globe.

If Eth will continue it's dramatic run, there is no reason it can't reach another new value high at 2K USD or even more than that by next month. I just wonder why Eth had this dramatic run after Ripple took its throne as the 2nd highest market cap a digital currency has.

As more people from other countries got to know about crypto currencies and how it can change lives in terms of financial stability, more and more investors are set to pour their money on crypto as well yet giving more boos to the total market cap of the cryptoworld.

Electric car industries can even motivate others to make their own company for electric cars as well. The effect of that will ripple throughout the globe and that would really hurt the oil industry badly because the number 1 advantage of electric cars is its
eco-friendliness.

How about putting it to 90% if and only if those billionaires who earn big profit from bitcoin will make a collaborative project to make a bridge between those people and the cyberspace. There are still countries today that are deprived of accessing the internet.

That's crazy high for me and seems unfair if you are just withdrawing a penny. Just like the other past few weeks where i made a transaction at hitbtc but it took me almost 5 days to received my btc. It was only broadcasted and took for about 5 days before the transaction was confirmed. How can it help you for emergency if transaction and services goes like that?

Not unless if he owns a very big mining farms from different places. But if he only works to earn other alt coins and convert it to btc is quite impossible because nobody would ever pay you 15K USD a day. Very unrealistic.

Not only businessmen, they are prominent and CEOs of some big companies like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Buffett, and others. Once these known billionaires and others are investing on Bitcoin, then it's hard for this digital currency to be worthless at any point of time.

And social media plays a major role of bringing a certain digital currency into hype or fame. That is why, ICO uses social media campaign to help spread the word their ICO brings.

Yes, as bitcoin runs on a blockchain, internet connection is necessary for it to transact it online. On the other hand, if there is no demand or investors investing on bitcoin and it is not needed anymore, then maybe it's the end of bitcoin already.

Have a look at Ripple (XRP), IOTA (MIOTA), and Cardano (ADA). They are potential alt coins IMO because of their market capitalization that also put these alternate coins on the top 10.

In my own opinion, investors who have the heart to take the risk of investing their money on some under-the-radar altcoins but with big potential, and have the characteristic to HODL their coins are the most successful investors in the cryptoworld.

For digital currencies made out from another currency's DNA, Bitcoin Cash from Bitcoin for instance, you can never be sure for a stable profit since a new hardfork is always about to happen anytime soon like the slated first DPOS Lightning BTC and that may be a new contender for Bitcoin Cash or could even surpass BCH's feat that can cause a shift of interest of some investors from withdrawing their money from BCH to this new product of hardfork.

But if you are a real investor, you can choose to invest in the new hardfork as well while HODLing your BCH in your wallet.

Yes because as much i check on bitcoin's price everyday, i also check on my altcoins on a daily basis too. At least, i can monitor its progress whether i have to crack a smile or frown at the end of the day. But of course, whether bitcoin or alt coins go up or down, i am hodling them for good.

Surpassing bitcoin seems to be very impossible to any altcoins in the crypto because of bitcoin's dominance in all aspects in terms of market cap and market price. The demand is always high for this coin and that's what always dictates its market value. So as long as bitcoin is around, no altcoin can overcome it.

If you have BTC in any major exchanges, you will probably get the same amount of BTG to you BTC. I have received bitcoin gold when i have a small amount of BTC sitting on my btc wallet in Yobit. A new fork is coming and for sure i will receive yet another crypto that's made out from BTC's blueprint.
