Here's My Top Cryptocurrency to Buy in December

Growth stocks are getting rattled. Bonds are offering a pittance in yield. Real estate could be risky once mortgage rates start to rise. Cryptocurrency is naturally more volatile than any of those conventional asset classes, but if you can stomach the risk, a little skin in digital currencies could offer you some handy diversification in this challenging investing climate.

You're probably familiar with Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). It's the world's second most-valuable cryptocurrency. The price swings aren't for the timid -- or impatient -- but the popular token has rewarded investors so far. As of early Thursday evening, Ethereum is up 5%, 6%, and 676% over the past week, month, and year, respectively.

Ethereum also happens to be my top crypto to own in December. Let's get into why it's a smart buy for risk-tolerant investors right now, ahead of some interesting bullish developments that should take shape in the months and years to come for the digital currency.
