1. Bitcoin
On this day in history 10 years ago, over 70 bitcoin addresses received 1 block reward each (50 BTC) and have remained dormant ever since. Over 60% of those addresses probably belong to Satoshi Nakamoto, and the remaining 40% are probably split between two early bitcoin miners, three at most.
2. Ethereum
According to new research by U.S. brokerage eToro, apparently Facebook’s yet-to-launch Libra coin is ahead of Ethereum in terms of name recognition even though Ethereum launched in 2014.
3. XRP
Bank of America recently filed a patent citing Ripple technology, and this had a positive short-term effect on the price of XRP.
4. Litecoin
According to research conducted by Strix Leviathan, blockchain halving events do not affect price.
5. Bitcoin Cash
Vitalik Buterin revealed that Bitcoin Cash could help Ethereum’s scalability issues in the short term.
