Cryptocurrency market: if you had invested in the 5 Tops?

La downward decline the cryptocurrency sector has been experiencing in recent weeks is likely to "divert" investors from what are the considerable gains accrued up to two years ago.

If I had invested in Top 5 cryptocurrencies what would I gain today? Let's find out in this guide.

Crypto market analysis: from 2017 to today

In the peak period, found in the month of December of the 2017, an investment made seven years earlier, amounting to $ 100, would have led to a gain that to define Pharaonic would mean to round down: well 580 million dollars.

A figure, this, that would have made anyone rich, like the most titled calculators in the world.

If it is true that in May 2010 a Bitcoin had a value of dollars 0.003, it is equally true that the historical maximum reached has touched the conspicuous figure of 20.000 dollars.

We were about to witness gains of enormous magnitude, capable of attracting the attention of a world public opinion who only then noticed the existence of a financial instrument which still, despite the difficulties, is still in vogue.

Currently, as just mentioned, Bitcoin and electronic coins are experiencing a difficult time.

In fact, a particularly confident investor can still draw on excellent earnings from the cryptocurrency market.  

The objectors of such a thesis will object by relying on the fact that the classic Achilles heel of cryptocurrencies would be the almost total impossibility of being able to predict future trends.

The operation of the sector being analyzed is characterized by a very different operation compared to that of the so-called traditional financial products, given the constant volatility and the absence of an economic framework on which to refer.

Based on information collected by DataLight, the 10 most famous cryptocurrencies still record significant returns at this time.

A question arises at this point. How much we would have gained if, in the period of the real boom, we had tried to invest in 5 major cryptocurrencies?

5 Top Cryptocurrencies: Earnings

It shouldn't be surprising the position of the Bitcoin, steadily at the top of the list of the biggest gains made by first-hour investors.

The departure, certainly, was not the most encouraging, given the 30 cents of a dollar that characterized the launch phase.

Despite this, the climax came in December 2017, when Bitcoin hit a record $ 20.000.

Between a few peaks and many downtrends, the present value of this electronic money has currently stabilized on share dollars 4.000.

A value which, despite the levels of a few years ago, is significantly higher on balance than other cryptocurrencies.

A farsighted investor from the dawn would have personally experienced an unstoppable rise, with an increase that exceeded 1.300.000% of its return.

Another famous electronic coin follows, called Ethereum, whose increase was over 68.000% compared to what was the listing at the beginning, about 2 cents.

Today's price for the Ethereum coin is $ 136,61.

Bronze medal to Dashgiven the perceptibly smaller increase of 39,509% if the market entry phase is considered.

The remaining placings can be divided as follows:

- Ripple: $ 6,254;
- Stellar Lumens: $ 3,377;
- Monero: $ 2,045;

The top of the list is up to ZEC, initially traded at $ 4.293.

The current value is only $ 50, with a drop in swoop which, in percentage terms, amounts to 99%.
