Last year, a lot of new Cryptocurrency blockchain platform were launched and they all want to take down Ethereum
such as
CARDANO
IOTA
EOS
NEO
QTUM
STRATIS
and it seem like investor really love this kind of platform cryptocurrency, they just keep buying. Actually when I study which one already have the final product, only NEO have a product that similar to Ethereum, while EOS have an alpha version testnet that allow you to build some stuff, the rest still in development. This mean if you want to put your smart contract or application on top of them, they are still not ready
however let us look at their market cap
| NAME | MARKETCAP |
|---|---|
| ETHEREUM | $72 Billion |
| CARDANO | $18 Billion |
| IOTA | $9.8 Billion |
| EOS | $4.9 Billion |
| NEO | $4.8 Billion |
| QTUM | $4.4 Billion |
| STRATIS | $1.3 Billion |
As you can see, how insane those marketcap were? almost all of them have breached $1 billion dollar mark and Cardano have breached $18 billion dollar mark, yes Ethereum have over $72 billion dollar but almost all ICO are launching on top of Ethereum, that proof that at least Ethereum is very useful
If we check the price growth, it is even insane
| NAME | MONTHS | START PRICE | PRICE NOW | GROWTH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CARDANO | 3 months | $0.02 | $0.70 | 140x |
| IOTA | 6 months | $0.6 | $3.60 | 6x |
| EOS | 5 months | $1.0 | $8.50 | 8.5x |
| NEO | 15 months | $0.2 | $70 | 350x |
| QTUM | 6 months | $6 | $60 | 10x |
| STRATIS | 16 months | $0.0135 | $13.50 | 1000x |
But does this kinda valuation really make any sense? I think what really happen is that every new platform using Ethereum marketcap as a bench mark, while Ethereum use Bitcoin marketcap as a bench mark, and Bitcoin use Gold marketcap as a bench mark, so as long as Bitcoin rising, all of them also keep rising but if Bitcoin drop heavily all of them will also drop heavily
I am not suggesting anyone to buy or invest because investing in cryptocurrency is very high risk, but I am just sharing what I learned, thanks for reading
去年，有很多新的cryptocurrency blockchain平台想打倒Ethereum，其中有
CARDANO
IOTA
EOS
NEO
QTUM
STRATIS
而投资者几乎都很买账，都一直买买买，其实到现在，除了NEO产品出来了可是几乎和Ethereum没分别，EOS有个ALPHA testnet让你build之外，其他的都几乎还在开发，也就是说你要把你的smart contract或软件放上去跑还是不行
让我们看看他们的marketcap
| NAME | MARKETCAP |
|---|---|
| ETHEREUM | $72 Billion |
| CARDANO | $18 Billion |
| IOTA | $9.8 Billion |
| EOS | $4.9 Billion |
| NEO | $4.8 Billion |
| QTUM | $4.4 Billion |
| STRATIS | $1.3 Billion |
看到了吧？那是有多恐怖啊，全部都超过10亿美金，而CARDANO足足超过了180亿美金啊，虽然Ethereum更高，可是现在全世界都用Ethereum 来launch ICO，所以Ethereum至少很有用
而如果我们来看看价格涨幅，更是惊人
| NAME | MONTHS | START PRICE | PRICE NOW | GROWTH |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CARDANO | 3 months | $0.02 | $0.70 | 140x |
| IOTA | 6 months | $0.6 | $3.60 | 6x |
| EOS | 5 months | $1.0 | $8.50 | 8.5x |
| NEO | 15 months | $0.2 | $70 | 350x |
| QTUM | 6 months | $6 | $60 | 10x |
| STRATIS | 16 months | $0.0135 | $13.50 | 1000x |
这么高价值合理吗？其实我觉得投资者都是参考Ethereum的Marketcap来计算他们所买的coin还能不能再起，而Ethereum的投资者又用Bitcoin的Marketcap来计算Ethereum大概值多少，而投资Bitcoin的人又用黄金的Marketcap来计算Bitcoin大概还可以起多少，所以就凭信心就一直这样买买买，如果Bitcoin大跌，大家就会跟着大跌
我这里并没有鼓励大家买，因为投资cryptocurrency风险很大，这只是个人的学习分享，谢谢阅读
