With the explosive rise in interest around cryptocurrency in the last few years, we’re also being overloaded with differing facts around how to navigate the currency and which ones to trust the most. It’s not plain old Bitcoin anymore like back in the day – now there’s all kinds of strange-named monies in the market. Here are some of the best and most reliable ones. 

1. Ethereum

One of the most popular forms of cryptocurrency in the world, the value of Ethereum has skyrocketed from around $11 in 2015 to over $4400 in 2021. It’s a reliable cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that’s the mainstay of many crypto traders.

3. Cardano

As of October 2021, Cardano’s price was at $2.01, a marked increase from just 3 years ago. This cryptocurrency is preferred by some users because it involves less transaction time, which can be a make or break for many traders/investors.

6. Tether

Tether is a cryptocurrency that’s also known as a stablecoin because it was envisioned to always maintain a US$1.00 value. Considering just how volatile the crypto markets are, some investors and traders find comfort in the stability of this coin.

7. Dogecoin

This cryptocurrency got a massive PR boost after an endorsement by Elon Musk on Twitter. Considering there’s no limit to the number of Dogecoins that can be created, it’s a volatile and and riskier option in terms of crypto investment. However, it’s current value is rather high.

9. Shiba Inu

Another currency that seems like a joke (and was actually birthed from a meme) is Shiba Inu. While some of the bigger cryptocurrencies have experienced a fall, Shiba Inu has actually seen a rebound in recent days. It was created in August 2020 by an anonymous person or group known as ‘Ryoshi’.
