What is the most popular Altcoin?

[bitcoinisbest]

It is said that Ethereum to be the next bitcoin in coming years. Though not sure about it. Considering the volume and purchase in 24 hrs, there is no one near Ethereum and also this are considered to be alt coin and not the main stream coins.

Few alts which have created so much news/hypes/speculation before are; ETH, ETC, MONERO, FACTOM in past and still they are trading with high daily volume.

Latest in this list is Zcash, hard to believe the price it have right now.

I think popularity can be a good indicator for the success of an Altcoin. Wikipedia says Dash has become the most active altcoin community on BitcoinTalk reaching more than 6300 pages, 127k replies, 7.7M reads. Popularity and success can have a good correlation in this regard.

ATM it's Ethereum definitely.

I remember the most popular being Litecoin but what about now?

Here in the current time you can't say that a particular coin is more profitable than other because in the current many altcoins have Competition to rise in the market .
Here in my opinion fee of the coin which have the stability to increase demand and price in the future are below .
1) BTM coin , it has a good trading average daily in the Poloniex and Nova exchage but still prices are not much high( around 30k Satoshi)
2) Ripple , recently it got support by about 11 to 12 banks in the world for the Foreign countries money exchage platform .
3) Posw , this coin is the official coin of poswallet , so it's demand is really going increasing , I made Profit with this altcoin about 0.6btc in the last week .
4) Dgb , the segwit will came of this wallet and will become powerful in the future like the ETH , Currently price is very low , so better to buy some lakh coin .
5) Pak coin , this altcoin has the price range from 80 Satoshi to 300 Satoshi , so buy this altcoin​ when it is at the price of 100 Satoshi and then you can easily sell it at the 150 satoshi Because 150 Satoshi​ is a normal price rise per week for this coin .
Beside of these the most popular are Putin , creva , money , ETH , dash , EDR etc these has good support by the millionaire .

Ethereum of course, whether its marketcap or 24hr volume or even the worldwide marketing, I think the people who know bitcoin, also know about Ethereum and you cannot say the about any other coin.
But close enough are Litecoin, Doge, Dash and Ripple.

POP, popular coin.
You can't get more popular than being called popular.

[qwerzu]

ETH
LTC
Take a look at DOGE is very active, have solid community there.

[Zggdrasil]

ETH in fist place and I would take LTC in boat at the moment.

There's a thread that says litecoin is officialy dead and yeh im happy that i've been part of litecoins since we are talking about the most popula i think it will be ethereum coz it will be listed on coinbase and it will grow more that people will expected tho.

[phr0stbyt3]

It totally depends on the current trend of investors and market. If you see 1 month ago dash was the popular one as it had a really good increase. Now we all can see that investors have shifted to ltc and eth so you can say in one way they are currently the popular ones, popular coins will not stay permanent they will keep changing.

Popularity in the altcoin space is really rather relative. So many coins have their own communities and own use cases, thus they are popular in their space. If you consider popularity in terms of marketcap or such, then likely Ether is the most popular alt right now. The crypto space allows for many "popular" coins though.

Yeah, that's right ETH is a very popular altcoin, My friends also really like ETH.
Now the ETH is on the rise and will probably soar to the moon

The jump altcoins show in the market is the basis of their popularity. When the price of altcoin pumps in a short amount of time the popularity of that coin will be sky high and everyone will want to trade it. It may be BTC, ETH or LTC right now.

the marketcap speak for itself, the most popular is ethereum and zcash, monero is also very popular along wiht litecoin, other are just rumors, these 4 are the big altcoin, everyone is follow and for the future i can expect them to hold their value or increase much more, ethereum is increase again as we speak

[robelneo]

You mean only one? then it's ethereum being in the second place behind bitcoin but if you broaden then we can only use coinmarketcap as our parameters,don't believe on some guy posting here adding more altcoins,they are all just trying to hype their bags of coins.

[maku]

Define 'being popular'. Marketcap and token price or trading volume are obviously not the best indicators of popularity.
I would rather say that popular coins are projects which are known to wider group of people.
Popular Coin has media attention, we can read news about it in popular mainstream services.

[dissident]

ETH, LTC, and NEM is the sleeping giant that will wake up when a couple more big exchanges like kraken cover it... It is less covered by exchanges than many coins trading for far less.  Would make more sense for btc-e to add xem and remove namecoin. It'll happen in time.  Oh yeah...ripple... Which has always has more "big boy" connections.

[llyfee4u]

I have to say, Litecoin still pretty up there IMO.  Although Eth is also worth a mention.

[BitcoinHodler]

define popular and what should you even care about a coin's popularity!

among altcoins in my opinion:
* most number of users in social media (fans): Dogecoin
* most amount of usage as a currency: Litecoin and Monero
* highest trading volume: this varies when coins are getting pumped they have ridiculous amount of volume and that lasts for a short time.
* oldest altcoin which is still big: Litecoin and Monero, and i guess Dash too!
* Biggest advertising campaign with lots of shills: Ethereum
