The star project is no longer red!
If there is a rise, there will be a fall. Although cryptocurrencies have risen to varying degrees in the first half of this year, there are also unsatisfactory ones. Let’s take a look at the decline ranking of the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

A turbulent year!
2020 is a violent year! The annual lows of many cryptocurrencies appeared in March and April. If investors deploy at that time, the returns will be higher. For example, if you buy BTC in the first half of the year, you can get nearly five times the income at most.
BTC’s shock amplitude is not the largest. In the top 50, many coins have more than ten times the amplitude. XRP (11 times), LINK (10 times), THETA (31 times), SNX (20 times), YFI (45 times), KSM (66 times), ZIL (28 times), OMG (14 times), DGB ( 10 times), REN (19 times), and the amplitude of WAVES is 108 times.
In this violent shock, there are huge investment opportunities. If one or two currencies are grasped, there will be considerable gains. Even if you only speculate in the top three currencies such as BTC, ETH, XRP, it will make a lot of money.
The coin that hit a record high at the end of the year is awesome!
In the bull market of cryptocurrency this year, many coins, led by BTC, hit record highs at the end of the year. Especially those old projects can hit a record high this year. This may be a project that we will focus on in the new year.
At the end of the year, the projects that reached a record high were: BTC (record high of 29301.19 USD), DOT (record high of 8.3266 USD), OKB (record high of 7.9127 USD), THETA (record high of 1.7991 USD), SNX (record high of 8.754 USD), KSM (A record high of US$68.6022).
Although most cryptocurrencies have seen good gains this year, their current prices are still on the floor compared to their historical highs. Through the above table, we can see at a glance. Although their prices are low, this does not mean that they have investment value. On the contrary, it is possible that these projects are slow in progress, or the projects themselves have problems, and it is difficult to achieve further development.
Therefore, we must take these projects more seriously so as not to accidentally enter the pit.
Finally, the reminder is that the amount of information in this form is huge, and only careful analysis can dig out greater investment value. Recommend collection!
