BTC is doubtlessly the number one. ETH is number two. But which is number three?
I thinks it an ETC which jumped the wall and keep going good.

[Wind_FURY]

of course, all other altcoin have long way to obtained by a place next to Bitcoin. BTC is wilde accepted by businesses over the world.

What businesses? You mean the dark markets that you can access wherever you are in the world? Those businesses you say that accept Bitcoin are better off accepting credit card payments. It is more convenient and more efficient for them. But of course Bitcoin is still on the top regardless. For active traders I think XMR and ETH made the better gains compared to the rest.

Yeah black market is the number one user of bitcoin worldwide. Period.
I think it is because if the high price of bitcoin that is why trading is not that easy. Average people with an average salary cant have 5 bitcoin in just one swoop or one payroll so they tend to pick other coins. That is what I do and it is faster profit than just letting it stay in bitcoin.

I think it would be bitcoins. Like English dialect, anyone on the mother earth knows how to speak on English dialect, we know that if you do not know how to speak English, you cannot do other things. Like on bitcoins, bitcoins is one of the best cryptocurrencies, it is one that we need to confirm our payment

the top rank is belong for Monero but i thought this is false list but their reference is which cryptocurrency the most profitable on 2016 and Monero is the answer because if someone invest $1000 from Monero from 1 january 2016 untill this year the profit approximately 2769% and bitcoin cannot do that so this is make sense for me

I disagree. The average people you speak of pick altcoins over Bitcoin is because they believe that the altcoins that they are holding and supporting so valiantly will also follow Bitcoin's path to a $1000 per coin valuation. I am also a victim of this kind thinking late last year. I almost invested 2/3 of my Bitcoins in ETC. Good thing my friend put me back in my senses.

My two top choices are Bitcoin and Mooncoin. Bitcoin is the obvious answer as it has the first mover advantage.

Mooncoin is very old and trusted blockchain trusted by a lot of people with over 33970 funded addresses at the moment and more than 1.75 million transactions successfully processed since 2013 without experiencing forks.

The price of Moon right now is cheap and everyone can join the ecosystem and give it a try.

They are now developing a new smart likes system which will be operational across the internet that will give users the ability to transfer value fast and reward others and themselves.

The name of this system is Moonlite.

We all need to diversify our portfolios and give other trusted and proven blockchains the ability to shine!

Well fow now, yes. I think when it comes to people's use and judging from the price, nothing would be close to bitcoin at the moment, though there may come another cryptocurrency in the future that can challenge bitcoin but for me, i think more people know and are using btc than any other cryptos

[MANCRYPTOS]

If we are speaking about top cryptocurrencies from my opinion bitcoin is number one on top because last 10 year there is no crypto more stronger then bitcoin, and from my opinion I think after bitcoin on top must be Monroe, Dashcoin Litecoin
 

[Idrisu]

Bitcoin is the only relevant answer.

And I know there are other currencies, but when are they ever accepted as currency with businesses? If "alternatives" exist, they need to be accepted and transacted as currency. Period.

Bitcoin did very well last year, we hope it continues in this momentum. Litecoin though did well too but not like bitcoin. I will advice coins investors to keep faith with bitcoin as it has come to stay. 2017, those interested in buy and hold type of investment are going to gain it tremendously. Margin or leverage traders will all also gain as the market start with high fluctuations and volatility this year.

If you really think Mooncoin is a top cryptocurrency then you are a stupid idiot. No honestly you are. I am sure there are many people here have become so jaded because of the losses they got from holding altcoins. Not only that, they also gave their full support for them only to lose the amount which really was important to them. The amount of their altcoins in Bitcoin value.

Well, although there were others that had better results than those you mention including BTC, in the case of LTC I do not think we can talk about a good performance, if we consider for example that throughout the last year  was not even mentioned in articles and publications when compared it to other projects that had more diffusion, moreover that if you analyze it more in depth you will find that
it lost approximately fifty percent of its value expressed in BTC however its value in USD was maintained thanks to the increase in the value of BTC, if the latter had not happened it would have been disastrous to LTC, who knows if that happens later but for now it seems that there is not much interest on this, nobody knows if this trend will continue this year and how it would affect to LTC.

I think the list here is built on a wrong criterion. It looks at how big was the price rising of a currency in USD but it doesn't take into account what the price actually is (so, Monero has 13$, btc has almost $1k and yet bitcoin is on the 10-th place) and for how long the currency exists. I believe it's quite natural for a cryptocurrency to get from less than 1$ to something around 10$ but it doesn't mean at all that in a few years this currency will not remain with the same price. I've never really heard about monero before.

There are people who believe in every crypto they see even the stupid one. They are so much excited they start to buy and wait patiently the right moment, wich may never come, and during this time tell in every place: look at 123coin it will be bigger than bitcoin, or it is the next bitcoin. But you never hear about those coins some months later. And as you say,  they also gave their full support for them, wich makes me think, they didn't understand the project when started, or naive or lack of knowledges ?

In 2017 I expect to see the rise of new competitors to Bitcoin. There are many reasons for that: 1. mass adoption; 2. transaction speed; 3. popularity among businesses; 4. user friendly and very secure apps to use. I'm looking at Byteball, Monero and Dash very closely. 

2016 was the year of Altcoins, many altcoins pop ed up and many of them are better than bitcoin in some aspect like privacy or transaction speed and their adoption/integration with other (third party) services. Besides the coin you mentioned I want to mention also Ethereum and Iconomi and some others which were/are and have potential to be successful.

What are you talking about .English is the just one language in a million and you think that everyone should know to speak english.I would call that bullshit as english comes only as the fourth largest used language worldwide. Monero ETH Zcash and Dash are the alts to look out for other than bitcoin .

[blackmagician]

Bitcoin will be greatest coin ever mine.  Bitcoin already prove that no other can defeat on what it has done for alamost 8 years.
And bitcoin continue to be strong as when the year passes.

Of course. Bitcoin is the strongest crypto so it's natural that smaller ones grows faster. In January 11 coins perform better - http://bithub.pl/top-cryptocurrencies-in-january-2017/

[squatz1]

I don't really get why people really believe other crypto-currencies can go ahead and compete with bitcoin at all but if I have to go ahead and say the top cryptos I'd have to go with Monero and ETH.

Both of them are not one of those shitcoins with nothing new to them they actually go above and beyond when it comes to innovation, Monero has a cool anonymous feature with it so it has its own little niche and ETH is fast.
