In January 2017 Bitcoin accounted for 80% of the total cryptocurrency market cap. In January 2018, it accounts for only 35% of the cryptocurrency market cap
Chir Larsen, the cofounder of Ripple (XRP), became the world’s fifth wealthiest person as the price of Ripple soared past the 3$ mark earlier this week.
There are about 1500 cryptocurrencies with 43 of them having a market cap over $1billion.
Bitcoin’s finite supply of 21 million is expected to be reached around the year 2140, with 12.5 new Bitcoin’s mined every about 10 minutes.
If you bought 1$ worth of Bitcoin in April of 2013, when one Bitcoin went for $0.001USD you would have $1.7million by now.
Really mindblowing how far cryptocurrencies have come! Awesome post!
