What I think will be the top cryptocurrencies in 2021

[Janation]

I only know 3 of them.

The cryptocurrencies I am holding are not that great but I am confident that they could increase more in the next months or maybe the next years. Obviously, it starts with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Monero, Dogecoin, and other cryptos in between.

It is actually better to hold unknown potential coins than already established coins because the chances of a bearish market are high no doubt but the chances of a bull (positive) run are also high on such coins. These unknown coins can bloom just like how the yearn finance did recently and actually the growth of these coins is just humongous in short period of time. There are times when the growth of some coins is abysmal and you will have 80-90% of the coins like that every now and then you might end of investing in a potential coin and you will be rich in no time just like yearn finance like I mentioned investors did.

Established coins are good but the growth is never going to happen at the same rate or even close to some of these small unknown potential coins.

That is true, and I agree with that.

The reason I said that "the cryptocurrencies I am holding are not that great" is because I am also investing in some cryptocurrencies I think would flourish in the next years. The OP posted cryptocurrencies I didn't know but that doesn't mean that I am not also risking some of my investments into unknown or not that popular cryptocurrencies.

Many people mentioned ETH, everyone knows that this upcoming 2.0 will be a game changer and everyone is getting ready for it, everyone loves the idea and will be into it when it happens. However why is the price not so much higher because of it? I mean if we all think that ETH has a big potential and the price will go up a lot when the 2.0 happens, shouldn't we all be buying ETH like crazy and making the price of ETH like 500+ right now?

I can guess only one thing why that hasn't happened yet, there is no "official" date for it to happen, they are working on it and it will eventually happen without a doubt but we just don't know when that exact date will be, which is why we are not buying ETH like crazy right now, the moment team announces an official date and we believe that, the price will skyrocket.

Some of the coins you have mentioned are still new to me, maybe because I have not been active with searching for new coins to invest in. I only know if a few on this list: Bitcoin is the one I have been investing in for a very long time now, since I started and for sure it will be staying at its position as the number one.

Ethereum is another good choice and I am also hoping that the 2.0 will bring some good changes and as well cause the market to grow. The idea of Ethereum is really good that investors will always consider it as a choice. I know of ripple, but I have not invested in it before. Same thing with Tezos and ChainLink, but I know ChainLink is good.

There is a big expectation over the ethereum update, but the same isn't assured. For now the growth is depending on the market changes taking place with bitcoin. By the year 2021 more defi projects will reach the market, and there are possible chances of few legit tokens gain importance same as the top list of altcoins.

As of now it is time to invest on low price altcoins in the top order, because the growth scale will be almost close to the ethereum and bitcoin. This way even the low volume holders can make some better earning out of small investment.

[bitzizzix]

It is certain that Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to dominate the market every turn of the year and so far nothing can replace them, and I think that towards the end of the year Bitcoin will tend to increase gradually and many of them experts predict bitcoin price in 2021 will reach its highest price at a value different.
And those are just predictions that aren't necessarily correct, but Bitcoin and Ethereum will continue to dominate the market and be the best options for investing from year to year.

Well, that's for sure and actually there is a fact that bitcoins alone has the market cap more than combined all other coins so it is true that bitcoins will remain on top because it is more like the parent of these altcoins.

Ethereum is another good choice and I am also hoping that the 2.0 will bring some good changes and as well cause the market to grow. The idea of Ethereum is really good that investors will always consider it as a choice. I know of ripple, but I have not invested in it before. Same thing with Tezos and ChainLink, but I know ChainLink is good.

I believe that ETH is a really smart choice because there are DeFi projects being built around it and there is always something new happening with ETH so while I am not expecting a big growth but the price should be solid and only moving in the right direction.

Apart from these coins I think XRP might do well in coming year(s) and then there is Tether that remains same in price for obvious reason of being a stable coin but that also means it is one solid way to save your crypto without fear of losing any value.

But somehow Ethereum 2.0 will be launched because it is hopeful there will be changes after they announced it, I know Ethereum is the best coin but with its advantages smart contracts many projects have joined their blockchain.

Ripple is very difficult to go up because of the ample supply but the price is still going on but I don't think Ripple will be a significant investment because after observing a little bit of a rise when the bullrun comes.
Chainlink is the most popular coin because yesterday's bull run was getting higher and it made a lot of profit for investors.

The etheruem 2.0 is a big plus to the etheruem platform. Etheruem will likely be the highest profiting coin by 2021 even above bitcoin. Bitcoin has been a bit slow in move, so I think the etheruem can be a better gain by the time it gets a new launch.

If Ethereum 2.0 does not help out with higher gas fees that are being paid for the transactions of different tokens working on its smart contracts, I don't see Ethereum to be succeeding at any cost later but will only lose its worth. Btc will always be the one and only coin I want in my portfolio because it is at a level which does not seem to be broken up or down so quickly like we saw in the defi (yfi) crash. It is better to earn small percentages than trying to gain 300x and the next day, our portfolio's worth will not be worth 3% of our capital.

That's right, this is the problem that the most I have been noticed of Ethereum and I don't see if this will continue I guess, Ethereum will not survive if the fees will also have ATH, not on the price. Ethereum was good in all tokenized projects due to the smart contract that Ethereum has, but when it comes to a transaction fee, others will switch into other altcoins.

No doubt that it is always bitcoin is on the top cryptocurrency, most of all altcoins are following the trend of bitcoin and this is proven and tested.

Considering ethereum also dropped, and was over 400 dollars at one point, I feel like it is going to skyrocket when the phase 1 starts and we can stake it. There will be tons of people who will buy ethereum to have 32 eth and there will be tons of people who will try to get even more, like 320 or even 3200 ethereum to stake even more.

Everyone will want it and I can see some sort of going back to ICO days as well because everyone will want to be funded by ETH in order to stake it to make money and pay people instead of using all their funds. We are going to see tons of people buying and a lot less selling as well from miners too. There is no way eth could stay where it is, we know it was over 400, now it is time to go over 500 even 600 if it could stay there for a while.

i think polkadot and uniswap will be in the top, and also i strongly believe in good and credible dex projects, as for now i'm researching interesting stablecoin exchange - xsigma, they are backed by  public company and have good business model

btw heard about xsigma, they looks nice and have a team from ripple and amazon

[blockman]

Looks like he got a good prediction about Polkadot. It is explosive and just reached the top 5. It was a very quick growth for Polkadot and never have believed that it will be one of the top altcoins in the market. But just as an opposite and par with the prediction, he got it wrong with XRP.
We knew things about XRP and who knows if this bad start for it will also be ending badly for it.

[Shasha80]

Of all the coins mentioned in the opening post, I am only sure that 5 coins will be the best coins in 2021. Among others, BTC, ETH, DOT, XTZ and
LINK. Of the five coins that will become the dark horse are LINK, because with DeFi the trend in 2020 will at least have an effect in 2021. And I'm
sure that in 2021 LINK will surprise us by reaching new ATH. In fact, I predict that if the DeFi trend will continue this year, it is not impossible that
LINK can become the top 4 to replace XRP.

This is certain, but there is still a definition that 2020 will be booming. I think 2021 will also be a new investment for people's preferences to invest. now the average altcoin with the defi concept has experienced a high increase. but I am still doing further research for whether the long term is suitable or not

[Majharul Saiif]

Maybe your guess is right. But nothing is fixed, in this highly volatile world, anything can happen. Allover my wish is also with BTC.

Polkadot has increased up to 75% plus in the last 7 days. This indicates that polkadot have a good chance and also have a high probability of becoming one of the shining altcoins by 2021. polkadot also offer better scaleability (according to them)

I think, btc, ethereum and ripple have a good future. Btc breaks all record,so it has a good future. Ethereum also reaches the high value position and it will over very soon. Ripple is not his dominating position, but it will be reached a good position in future.

Why would Ripple be in a better position? Ripple havent dealt with two claims from SEC yet. Havent fulfilled what they plan to be (to substitute swift/sepa system, become world major transaction system). Why do you think after first claims (if the managed to find a solution to them) there wont be new ones?

I think Ripple is already marked by SEC, governments and etc and wont get off the hook easily. Perhaps he might solve current issues, but this will throw Ripple back in development, while his competitors will develop further.
