How many cryptocurrencies are there in the world
at present, there are more than 1350 encrypted virtual currencies in circulation in the world. So far, according to the total valuation given by the market price, there are 23 virtual currencies with a valuation of more than US $1 billion, 97 with a value of more than US $100 million, and 573 with a market value of more than US $1 million. All in all, the total market value of virtual currency has exceeded US $5 trillion, of which bitcoin, the earliest invention, accounts for more than half. Players generally admit that bitcoin is not the most effective cryptocurrency, nor is it the most covert and anonymous. However, bitcoin is the first one to appear, so it is the most well-known and popular one
so the question is, does the world need more than 1350 cryptocurrencies
even the players of virtual currency will doubt this. No matter how strange the world is, there cannot be so many virtual currencies. In fact, there are so many new ICO virtual currencies emerging in recent years, which complement the "Crazy" performance of bitcoin in this year. Most of these 1300 kinds of virtual currencies can't be recognized by everyone. From the beginning of ICO, there will be many loopholes that no one will fill. When there is a major adjustment in the virtual currency market, many of them will disappear automatically, which means that no one will go to mine any more
this also leads to a problem. When some of the cryptocurrencies have problems, the entire instry chain and market of virtual currency may be involved like dominoes. Even the strongest bitcoin now will also be involved, because the cryptocurrency, in the final analysis, is supported by the "belief" of players
why is bitcoin worth more than other cryptocurrencies
at the time of writing this article, the total value of bitcoin is about US $270 billion, the total value of cash of bitcoin is about US $31.7 billion, and the market value of bitcoin gold is US $5.17 billion. Since bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold are separated from bitcoin, in a broad sense, they should be counted as a part of the total value of bitcoin (of course, you can't refute me technically, just for a rough explanation). Once we add up all the branches of bitcoin, we can calculate the market value of more than $310 billion. As a result, bitcoin accounts for about 60% of all cryptocurrencies in the market
as I have repeatedly said in recent days, bitcoin is not the most effective cryptocurrency, the most advanced, the most anonymous, or even the most stable cryptocurrency. So why is bitcoin so valuable compared with other virtual currencies
it's very simple, because bitcoin has a catalytic factor, that is, the Chicago Board of trade, as well as the commodity exchange, began to trade futures as a "commodity". Then, you will naturally think that since it has been recognized by the futures exchange, will it be further recognized by the US government in the next step. Other virtual currencies are still struggling
however, we have always stressed that since the day bitcoin was traded as a "commodity", its real monetary role, like gold, has been very weak in reality, but as one of the procts of gambling. This means that we all do bitcoin as a speculative activity, rather than a real use
judging from the current situation, bitcoin is no longer the only virtual currency that soars as soon as there is news of "official support". It is like iota, a virtual currency that focuses on the principle of the Internet of things. The news of cooperation with Microsoft came in the last two weeks, and it immediately rose to more than $300. Later, Microsoft came out and said that there was no such thing, and iota immediately fell back. It can be seen that in the future, as long as the virtual currency is recognized by some big company or organization, it will soar like bitcoin
the ranking of digital currency can be measured according to multiple dimensions, such as market value, technical ability, landing in Cheng, 24-hour rise and fall, 24-hour turnover list, 24-hour turnover rate, etc. For the sake of data accuracy, we list the ranking of virtual currencies in the market value list<
let's first look at the data to see how the Ministry of instry and information technology measures the value of digital currency:
saidI Research Institute of the Ministry of instry and information technology officially announced the first global public chain technology evaluation index and ranking. Eth ranked first with a total index of 129.4, while BTC only ranked 13th<
moreover, the ranking method this time is that CCID Research Institute of MIIT does not mention cryptocurrency, but only public chain. The first list of evaluation objects are: bitcoin, Ethereum, reborn, Leyte, bitcoin cash, Cardano, starcoin, Neo, eota, Monroe, dasey, Xinjing, Ethereum classic, quantum chain, Nanor, application chain Big zero coin, verge, stratis, cloud storage coin, stim coin, bitstock, byte coin, wave coin, deced, super cash hcash, Comodo coin, ark. The top ten in the list are eth, stem, LSK, Neo, KMD, XLM, ADA, iota, XmR and strat<
If ranked by market value, the results will be much different: the following data are based on Niuniu app, and the market value represents the first place at the time of writing: bitcoin (BTC)

fifth place: bitcoin (BCH)
market value: RMB 137.700 billion, currency price: RMB 810.175, total currency: RMB 21 million, bitcoin cash released on August 1, 2017, jointly created by some bitcoin developers, belongs to the new version of bitcoin. From 2015 to 2017, the price of bitcoin rose rapidly. Different factions competed fiercely for more computer network resources. In order to get out of the competitive environment, one camp created another version and rebuilt the blockchain currency. Bitcoin cash modifies the code of bitcoin, increases the block size to 8m, adopts two-layer network, reces the workload of bitcoin network, and maximizes the efficiency of bitcoin network without damaging the original structure and security of bitcoin blockchain
with the integration of the two exchanges of okex and Huo yuan.com, yuanniuniu can share the trading depth and enjoy the treatment of zero handling charge fund transfer. It only needs to download an app to exchange transactions at both ends. At the same time, yuanniuniu is also a good market software tool, which can help speculators master the latest currency price trends and large positions.
it is a revolutionary new transaction settlement and data transfer layer designed for the Internet of things. It's based on a new type of distributed ledger, tangle. Tangle is the name of ledger structure. Tangle is like blockchain, but it uses network structure instead of chain structure, which makes it more extensible and stable
and it has no mining, no blocks, no transaction costs. Its application field is located in the Internet of things, as the technology of data integrity and instrial equipment. In addition, we need to pay on demand for micro payment and machine communication, such as sensor technology, smart city, adaptive system and so on
the goal of iota is to become a cryptocurrency for the Internet of things. As machine to machine connections grow, iota wants to be the currency that drives its transactions. When the project was launched in 2015, 1300 bitcoins were raised through "first coin", some of which were donated to the foundation. Iota is now the 11th largest cryptocurrency in circulation, worth $5 billion.
