What I think will be the top cryptocurrencies in 2021

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

The hype of DeFi will die in Q3 2020 as the new year will give room for another crab to be hyped who knows maybe data or some other stuffs. Hype dies doesn't mean DeFi will stop existing though but just that the money currently flowing into that sector will move to some other sections and that'll be the new kids on the block. The likes of chainlink will be dropped out of the top 10. Bitcoin, ethereum and some other OG's like Ripple etc will still retain their spot.

I think some other stablecoins will join USDT since the volume of transaction are increasing by their numbers daily. The end point is anyone thinking some DeFi project will join the top coins as chainlink did should just give up that hopes.

Yuppp just like the ICO hype that didn't last for long enough , DeFi projects will only bring some institutions that really hate bitcoin to seek and catch those fake random projects , it'll be over in no time.

And looks like a lot of people mentioned LTC in their list ... hmmm interesting to put a hope in that one of oldest cryptocurrency, honestly i do believe in LTC too with other coins has pumped from 3x to 20x since the downfall in late 2018 , I've got the feeling that ltc will surpass ethereum in the second place of the highest market cap.
I just want to add NXT in my list , this coin also lagging ... 10x to 100x to the moon!

Bitcoin and ethereum are the only solid cryptocurrencies.The rest of the coins are just pump&dump anyway.
You may think that some altcoin has an interesting concept and will become a utility token which might get widely adopted in some industry,but that never happens.All the "utility token" BS is just a hook to get more buyers and investors in the early stages of the project and to build more hype.
My list is just:
1.BTC
2.Ethereum
3.(Enter a random altcoin name here.)
4 and below 4. I don't care...

Bitcoin and Ethereum are my key players.
But I am still hunting some altcoins these days, I am trying to avoid DeFi coins these days coz I think I am already late for the party, lol.
As long as my bag is majority on Bitcoin and Ethereum, i'll be more safe, kinda scary to pick some low market cap altcoins, I am afraid on Bitcoin to dominate the market again.

I believe a lot of us here are rooting for btc and eth. They are like the only cryptocurrencies you can trust of when all others fail. But if you are a crypto user who is closely following updates and developments of others alts, you will know which one is worth investing for. Not gonna believe all the FUD by other people here.

Yes. Bitcoin and ethereum are my only top choices and the rest of those altcoins are not really seem profitable for me. And besides, it's more risky if you fill your bag with pump and dump altcoins and only to find out they only end up as dead coins in the long run. Better invest with bitcoin and ethereum since they made the best hit in the crypto market.

[Arkann]

The fact is that on the eve of the bull run in the cryptocurrency market, which everyone expects not only next year, but also until the end of 2020, I would not want to risk for the sake of altcoins and therefore I am trying to focus on the most rated cryptocurrencies, which are also said by others. participants in the discussion. One way or another, we expect the Ethereum 2.0 update, as well as the real consequences from scalping 2020, which should greatly affect the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum coins.

This will more likely the answer of most of us, there are many of us who are scared to hodl newly born alts. DeFi is now on-trend but there's a large possibility that DeFi tokens can't bring their fire in 2021, Knowing their trend might go down.

I do think that the tokens on top 20 of rankings on coinmarketcap will hold their position in 2021, The number one spot on cmc which is bitcoin won't change absolutely If you're going to settle into tokens, of course, choose the best.

Im with this sentiment which is actually the real situation that do happen from time to time on when the hype dies then we would see another thing to be hyped and money will flow once again into that particular field.
Its just really that common that new one will actually place those older ones or had been already been zipped out by those people who do play big.Talking about on whose gonna be on the top then those currently on the list will most likely to retain their positions but we cant really conclude since anything can happen but its hard to believe on that there would be a certain project would held up for that long just because its been hyped up.Demand what matter most from time to time and as i agree for those DeFi supporters out there that shouldnt really hoping that much.

Apparently OP did not name a very important currency, and it is Monero, Monero is a currency that has a lot of survival, so much so that I think it is one of the strongest in the crypto world, its privacy and anonymity make it very valuable.

[famososMuertos]

The main money is in the bitcoin, for all others the simple money of my pockets of my pants, anyone who reaches position two is fine ... the rest is always uncertainty.

Important, there is something suggestive about your OP, I guess it is not the idea;

.....//.
      :
Some of the projects that I believe will be top projects in 2021 are :
1. BTC : King needs no introduction, digital gold 2.0.
....//

A quotation mark in "Digital Gold" clarifies that you are not comparing with theERC20 DGC  /

Yeah, this is quite simple to predict, everyone is doing the same trick. Name bitcoin if you want because that is the big one, name ethereum because that is the king of altcoins, name one trustworthy known like eos, or neo or whatever and name one obscure one that nobody really cares but at least knows and name the coin you shill. That is the way it has always been, whenever a topic like this opens up people do the same thing, 5 coins, 3 very known and everyone loves and already invests probably, one obscure and not many people invest but at least everyone heard of it, and one coin that actually is new and I mean brand new and gets shilled by the people, typical shill post.

In any case, if you do not see the coin in the top 20 ranked list, be careful, if you see them at top 20 ranked, check out its history before you invest.

[naikturun]

1.BTC
2.ETH
3.XRP
4.POLKADOT
5.LINK
because it only lasts for the next 1 year so my prediction is still the same as it is now, in such a short time I don't think it will have a big effect.
and about other coin you mentioned, i still doubt it can reach at least top 10.

[bearexin]

Concordium cryptocurrency, it’s quite a good one, but if it doesn’t have a use case as much as Bitcoin or Ethereum does , then it doesn’t make any sense. One thing I like about Bitcoin is that the number of people who are making use of it and the number of places where it’s being accepted are too many compared to other cryptocurrencies.

In my country if you’re holding any other cryptocurrency apart from Bitcoin , and sometimes Ethereum, then you’re wasting your time, no one is ready to buy or accept it from you. All they are interested in is Bitcoin mostly, and then Ethereum and they are not ready for any other one. Before the year 2021 you might see new projects that will take over the market just as DeFi projects are trending now.

[crwth]

It's funny how you started the topic with a disclaimer and say do your research. Don't get me wrong; we all have our opinions, but yours are not quite complete lol. You are merely just shilling these shitcoins that almost nobody has heard of. You don't even explain clearly what you think. What I agree with is that BTC is king, and ethereum is excellent as well; anything else is not so great.

3. Polkadot : Polkadot Ecosystem will be the next big runner , potentially causing the next bull run.

now that I see:



 this altcoin is in the top 5

9. Ripple : Ripple will keep having those scam pumps, XRP army will shill again.

I don't see how the XRP army will return as this altcoin performs badly when it comes to big price increases, since July 2018 the price of XRP has not managed to at least exceed $0.50

Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency and Ethereum is the most trusted Altcoin.
Most of the crypto enthusiasts hold these 2 as they are most trusted and the rest are just temporary.
We have seen many altcoins changing their position from rank 3 to rank 10 but Bitcoin and Ethereum have held on to their since the beginning.
Also this is one of the reason why Bitcoin and Ethereum has a bigger support than any other cryptocurrency.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

There will be many project that popping up in the future but I don't know that these project can survive in this place. Like has happened in the past, there are a lot of project ICO that successfully to be launched and have a high price as well. Many investor who got a huge profit but most investor as well who just got a huge lose after that.

This is why I never put much attention to new project (in this case DeFi's project) most of them only worth for short term investment. Unless, you bet your money in it and you have more comfortable to storing it for long term investment. So as, choosing bitcoin is the best way to me, I won't ever have uncomfortable situation when holding it although its price decrease a lot.

The rank project claim on CMC doesnt make it a good investment but it sad to see many crypto currency investors following/invest in project through it current surge in price or it rank on CMC for your information this coin was tagged in active on CMC.

9. Ripple : Ripple will keep having those scam pumps, XRP army will shill again.

I don't see how the XRP army will return as this altcoin performs badly when it comes to big price increases, since July 2018 the price of XRP has not managed to at least exceed $0.50

Perhaps you're right but the last time I check XRP CEO hold about 70% of the coin each army or not the coin have so many partnerships which the coin CEO purposely manipulates the coin for him and their benefits. Mind you, this coin was created for the betterment of crypto communities.

Bitcoin is the most trusted cryptocurrency and Ethereum is the most trusted Altcoin.

Perfectly said. Bitcoin is the most known and trusted cryptocurrency while ethereum is the top alternative who follows next to bitcoin inside crypto market.

Most of the crypto enthusiasts hold these 2 as they are most trusted and the rest are just temporary.

The chance of making good profits out from your invested money is far greater when you hold this two coins, though
some crypto traders tends to risk out and try other cryptos trying to find some luck and make a huge money.

We have seen many altcoins changing their position from rank 3 to rank 10 but Bitcoin and Ethereum have held on to their since the beginning.
Also this is one of the reason why Bitcoin and Ethereum has a bigger support than any other cryptocurrency.

They've got a lots of supporters and they are being managed by big fat whales. This two coins continue to move forward and still dominating this business venue.
Just needed to keep  doing your own research and make sure to back up your decision with good sets of plans to make sure you'll be able to gained the compensations that you desired.

Focus on high ranking altcoins. At least in the top 20 CMC ranks which are more secure and with more serious development. However, there is still a risk when holding altcoins. Bitcoin and ethereum are still good choices.
although there are some DEFI coins that are starting to appear and the prices are really crazy and exceed Bitcoin like YFI. But YFI is a new DEFI coin which is still a hyipe for now, it is not impossible that a drastic decline will occur.

Stay focused and be vigilant so as not to enter into a new altcoin device that does not increase its price unnaturally at all.

Hype doesn't matter for 1 coin which is Bitcoin which will be the number 1 crypto in 2021.Then Ethereum will folow bitcoin.But DeFi trend will affect the ethereum.If DeFi trend continues then ethereum will perform better in 2021 even from 2020.Then YFI coin which is DeFi coin.If DeFi hype finish in last quarter of 2020 then YFI will not be in good position.Recently Polkadot has created a great hype but I think it will be outperformed by Ltc and Trx.And recently some new coin has entered in top 20 coin in Coinmarketcap.But I don't think they can keep the position till 2021.So I will believe in Xrp,Stellar and Neo coin.Hope they will perfom better in 2021.
