Forget bitcoin: Here are 12 cryptocurrencies you should be following

The Motley Fool, Sean Williams, 3 hrs ago

With 2017 now in the books, we can officially look back and dub it the "year of the cryptocurrency." Despite the stock market historically taking its seat at the head of the table in terms of wealth creation, it was cryptocurrencies that delivered what could be the single greatest year we've ever seen from an asset class.

When the year began, the aggregate market cap of all cryptocurrencies was just $17.7 billion. However, by late December, this figure had topped $650 billion, representing a better than 3,500% increase in about a year's time.

Bitcoin, the world's most popular and valuable virtual coin by market cap, is perceived to have led the charge higher in cryptocurrencies. It is, after all, the crypto coin most accepted by merchants, and easily the most-traded virtual currency of the nearly 1,400 that can be purchased by investors.

However, truth be told, bitcoin was actually an underperformer last year. It took a backseat to many up-and-coming coins and blockchain players -- blockchain is the infrastructure that virtual coins are built on, and it is responsible for logging all transaction data in a digital ledger -- which wound up gaining a whole lot more on a percentage basis. Heading into 2018, the story is no longer about just bitcoin. Instead, it's about which cryptocurrency could become the next bitcoin, or the next thing to be better than bitcoin.

With this in mind, I'd suggest forgetting all about the highly played-out bitcoin at this point and consider following these 12 cryptocurrencies instead. Click ahead to check them out.

After searching the forum for bitcoin this was one of the newer threads I could find to add some new links some friends shared with me (I am no expert in any of the crypto currencies and do not own any) I prefer bullets, food and gear over money especially money I cant touch. This may not be the best mindset but for now this is what I am going with. I made this choice long before the spike and falls of bitcoin.

again I am not saying you can or can not make money from bitcoin or claiming to be any expert. This is NOT financial advice. Just passing on information that was shared with me recently.
