TokenCard (TKN):
Founder: Mel Gelderman
Introduced: May 2, 2017
This cryptocurrency, loaded onto a Token Contract Wallet, can be spent normally at cash registers and ATMs – by using a depositless Ethereum debit card called the TokenCard. Users can spend ERC20 tokens, and manage everything using the Token App. Users can even set limits on their spending to remain in control, and freeze the card instantly if it gets lost.
Bitcoin Cash (BCH):
Founder: James Hilliard
Introduced: August 1, 2017
With the goal of expanding the limitations of Bitcoin’s 1M global network storage maximum, Bitcoin Cash was forked off of Bitcoin in August of 2017. Bitcoin Cash quickly jumped to being the third-highest valued cryptocurrency, and owners of Bitcoin during the hard fork were gifted Bitcoin Cash equal to their Bitcoin holdings – a pretty lucrative pickup. On top of that, BCH is up 72.23% this past month.
Monero (XMR):
Founder: thankful_for_today
Introduced: April 2014
Originally launched as BitMonero (“Monero” means coin in the Esperanto language), this digital currency was forked from bitcoin and is based on the CryptoNote protocol. The founder, who goes by the username thankful_for_today, proposed some unpopular changes for the fork that the community did not agree with. After the resulting fallout, the Monero Core Team stared managing the fork project – and has provided oversight ever since.
