Historical Coinmarketcap: ranking of all cryptos at any time from the past

[1miau]

If you are interested which coins were popular in the past you can visit the historical version of Coinmarketcap.com. In this version, it is possible to display Coinmarketcap at any time from the past, and you can see the ranking of all cryptocurrencies at that time and their price.

At https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/ there are several times to choose from:




The earliest time is April 28, 2013.

Alternatively, you can also customize the URL by changing the date accordingly. The URL has a modifiable part that contains the date in the format YYYYMMDD (year-month-day):

https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20140505/

For example, this will show Coinmarketcap on May 5, 2014. If you want to see May 6, 2014, you can change the link to:

https://coinmarketcap.com/historical/20140506/

However, for the first few months of historical data this customized variant doesn’t offer data for every day.

This page should serve as a warning to not “invest” in the low level alts as most of the alts from 2013 and mid 2014 aren’t even in existence anymore, to my knowledge.

Unless the altcoin you are investing in is implementing some new technology that is an improvement on what existing coins offer, it is probably best to stay away.

Nice info! I just found out that XRP is one of the oldest cryptocurrency. How come it exists for a long time? I read nothing good about XRP.. lol.

Anyway, newbies (including me) should already know that shitcoins will get rekt. Just look at the current market trend.

I see Namecoin, Peercoin, Novacoin and more there, these has very low volume considering the situation then. Novacoin has a $300+ volume, Namecoin having $15k or so. These are not anymore active.
Thank you anyway.

Ripple isn't that bad as a project, just that their operation are just too centralized for a community promoting decentralization that's why there are many negative news against them. Another project that'll make it as far as XRP has done is EOS (not a financial advice though).

The team members of a project matters alot, that's what ripple has and have kept it for this long. A project that has a strong team is likable to succeed than a project with just unique idea.

Interesting information that gives us an idea of just how risky investment is in this area. I barely recognize any of the names on the list of top market capped (choosing data from July 2013 for example), and if you enter their individual charts, many have practically disappear by now.

It is also interesting to contrast with the overall aggregate marketcap evolution that can be retrieved here: https://coinmarketcap.com/es/charts/

Totally agreed on this mate because even how good the new project is but in future it may dump and die,just like what happen in the given listing and still happening these days

But this is very few to expect since almost all of the possible project has been existing already and only waiting for the mass adaptation to be used so basically we can't expect something new in our time now

The limit of the possibility is our own knowledge. While it's true that with increased knowledge breakthrough rarely happens in a short amount of time, it's still possible that we'll find something entirely new. Science has shown this many times, and I believe the same thing could happen in crypto.

As the snapshot suggests, only BTC stays at the top. Will we see Bitcoin at the top for the next 10 years? Who knows, but it should happen. With ETF, Bakkt and other institutional platforms which will likely push another bull mania for Bitcoin and crypto in general. That will be the time when your shitcoin can give max profits, after that they'll die. History will repeat itself.

Yes, the vast majority of altcoins will die and become almost worthless, at the latest when the developers will run out of money to continue the project or when they notice that their promise and business model is not possible to realize.
It's very impressive that so many projects from 2013 / 2014 failed when the intention of a project wasn't to collect money how it's nowadays. That's important to consider how 99% of all projects launched in the ICO hype will end...
Will be funny to see coinmarketcap in 2 or 3 years which coins will disappear.

I read nothing good about XRP.. lol.

Well, that's a good thing. 
There is a huge bot army spreading fake-FOMO about XRP and they got busted recently. xD

I agree that XRP is a very bad choice, there are so many aspects why XRP is a shitcoin. Like their large bag of XRP that they have given into escrow (almost 55% of all XRP) and they sell monthly up to 1 billion XRP for their own profit. It's like Satoshi would sell the remaining unmined Bitcoins for his own profit via theymos as escrow instead of giving the BTC as reward to the miners...LOL
And the number of unmined BTC (14% of the total supply of BTC) is around 4 times lower compared to the number of unsold XRP (55% of the total supply of BTC)
That's why premined shitcoins are a bad solution...
But I doubt that XRP dies, they have a very efficient funding model and almost unlimited funds as result of their selling-strategy...
Sorry for off-topic, couldn't resist.

Most of the ERC-20 (and similar) "coins" resemble something closer to a private company raising money via Venture Capital than a cryptocurrency (this is actually why I have a lot of faith in Etherum and similar ). If you are running a VC fund (that invests in very early stage companies), having 95% of the companies you invest in fail is considered a success. I suspect that many "investors" in these tokens do not fully understand these types of risks.

Its quite difficult to understand how bad the market have been over the years for bad coins. Though having different names, most of them were one or the other same and were just a fork of btc. Everything followed the same tech but had different hashing algorithms which doesn't make much difference. Litecoin seems to be little stable over the years, but they along with the others doesn't have much outstanding tech when compared to btc.

The only coins which impresses me always is Ethereum and Monero. I am very much sure this could prove to be a stable competitor to btc and might have a very long run similar to btc and not just like the erc-20 shitcoins and other forkcoins.

Ethereum is like a decentralized world computer equivalent and smart contracts can help us in solving many Real Life problems which are currently prevailing. An added advantage is that, devs can make use of solidity and can help their companies to solve the problems through a decentralized system. If bitcoin is a mode of payment, ethereum is a decentralized world computer for developers. I have not delved much into Ethereum but they do seem to impress and inspire developers like me much towards them.

Even though Monero is similar to bitcoin in terms of using them as a mode of payment, they help in performing the transactions in a very secure way. On the whole Monero and Ethereum can be much more stable in terms of market and would have a strong run in the coming years.

Very true. Use #XRP in one of your tweets and you'll likely get retweeted by XRP bot. I still don't understand who run this bot army or why they should even do that if XRP is the best. They no longer need shilling like ICO/IEO out there, almost listed on every exchange out there. Should've done better if they focus marketing XRP to future clients instead of traders and moonboys. Way more productive.

Thank you for the info. Yes, it was only bitcoin remain to be the strongest crypto.in the market and most of the alt coins are just being dump especially nowadays ICO is not really profitable because once the ICO period is done and when the coin is put to exchange, the coin market price will drop this results for the investors lost in the liquidity of the coin they hold from the ICO period and after putting it to exchange.

Who cares about ranking, ranking based on market capacity will not make any difference.
In other words, if shitcoin becomes number one, does that mean it is better than Bitcoin? of course not.

Curiously, there are currencies since 2013 unheard of. This shows the importance of technology.

Yeah you are right,,,ranking isn't a big thing here but its important which one have the largest users community and accepted as payment method. In this criteria other cryptos haven't got the power to make competition with bitcoin IMO. Bitcoin has already been the most fastest and secure payment method worldwide and i believe its just a beginning only.  

I have seen so many coin/token which were on top 10 list in the past but now they are nothing but a bad dream. So just getting higher place on ranking isn't the only achievement or development for a crypto currency i think.

Monero is very interesting, unfortunately I hadn't the time yet to make a sufficient research about it but owning a few of them is a good idea.

Exactly, that reminds me of all the shitcoin ICOs where it's necessary to do so much spam marketing that someone invests. Maybe Ripple has so much money and don't know where to spend it rather than shills...

Enjoy!

I consider marketcap rankings like such ones from coinmarketcap more as an estimated overview without a very good accuracy. The supply of each currency can be displayed very differently and affecting the marketcap, depending on how the circulating supply is calculated. While it's clear for a mined currency like BTC, some projects are including / excluding parts of it in a very intransparent way and that makes an exact calculation sometimes not possible.
And the difference between circulating and total supply is not included in the rankings. That's very important to look at because if there's a big discrepancy and still lots of coins have to be issued the price will be affected if more coins come into circulation. The rate of not issued coins for BTC is already very low (around 14% of all BTC are not issued yet) compared to other coins. An example is Stellar, more than 80% (!) of all Stellar are not issued yet and therefore not included in the ranking:



This will affect the price in a negative way if they come into circulation later.
