3 Cryptocurrencies That Outperformed Ethereum in 2017
It may be the holiday season, but cryptocurrencies have been playing the role of St. Nick for virtual currency investors since the beginning of the year.
When the calendar turned to 2017, the aggregate value of all cryptocurrencies combined was a mere $17.7 billion -- and bitcoin made up well over 80% of this value at one point. However, as of Dec. 14, the total cryptocurrency market cap had soared to $515 billion. For you math-phobic people, that's a return of more than 2,800%. For investors who've held throughout the entirety of this volatile year, they've possibly seen a lifetime's worth of gains.
