At present, the types of digital currency are mainly divided into intelligent contracts and basic chains, protocols and de-centralized transactions, application chains, and air currency without technology and application. The mainstream value judgment standard is that the bottom chain has the highest value, the largest growth in the future, followed by the agreement and application chain, and the air currency has no value.
A Brief Collection of the Top 20 Digital Currencies in Global Market Value
1.The concept of Bitcoin Bitcoin was originally proposed by Zhongbencong in 2009. Point-to-point is a P2P-based digital currency based on SHA-256 algorithm. Point-to-point transmission means a decentralized payment system with a total circulation of 21 million yuan. Market capitalization is 99.8 billion US dollars, circulation is 16.639 million BTC.
2.ETH Ethereum has a public block chain with intelligent contract function, founder Vitalik Buterin. Market value is 28.2 billion US dollars, circulation is 95.25 million ETH ICO cost 2 yuan, ICO time 2014.
3.Ripple is a de-centralized asset transmission network, which is used to solve the problem of asset conversion and trust between financial institutions and users. Market capitalization $7.8 billion, circulation volume 38.5 billion XRP.
4.Bitcoin cash (BCH) BCH is a kind of bitcoin produced by hard branching. It modifies bitcoin code, supports large blocks, and does not include segwit. In order to solve the problem of expansion.
5.LTC is derived from Bitcoin. Its founder, Li Qiwei, went online on June 22, 2017.
6.DASH, originally named Darkcoin, is a digital currency that supports instant trading to protect users'privacy. Based on Bitcoin, its unique two-tier network can make it more comprehensive for testing and updating.

11.IOTA (IOT) IOTA is a solution to the infrastructure challenges faced by Internet of Things (Internet of Things), and is a de-centralized Internet of Things encryption currency platform. It is based on Tangle, a new type of distributed account book. It can overcome the inefficiency of existing block chain design, and has new features such as zero transmission cost and unlimited expansion of data security. Hopefully, it will become the backbone of any P2P transaction settlement.
12.ETC (ethernet classic) Ethernet classic is a branch of Ethernet square block that has not complied with or upgraded after hard bifurcation of DAO funds through the Ethernet square project. It retains the original code rules and characteristics of Ethernet square.
13.Quantum Chain (QTUM) quantum chain is the basic chain for mobile terminals, which combines Bitcoin and Ethernet technology.

17.Zcash (ZEC) Zcast is a new type of encrypted digital assets which coexists transparency and anonymity with zero-knowledge proof algorithm. EquiHash algorithm and POW method are used to construct a distribution mechanism suitable for ordinary computer mining.
18.Stellar Lumens, a digital currency project initiated by Jed McCaleb, the founder of Ripple, is used to build a de-centralized gateway between digital and legal currencies. It will be provided to users in the form of free distribution, with a supply ceiling of 100 billion yuan, of which 95% of the amount of star money will be used for free distribution.
19.Tether (USDT) USDT is a Tether USD token based on USD, which is a stable value currency. It is called USDT for short. 1USDT = 1USD. Users can exchange 1:1 at any time. The parameters of USDT's transaction confirmation are consistent with those of Bitcoin.
