So here it is, there's a lot of talk about crypto in 2024 right now, and honestly it's become complicated to know where to put your money. I looked into what's happening and there are a few projects that keep coming up in discussions, so I thought I’d share my observations.
First of all, Bitcoin remains Bitcoin. At 77.33K right now, it's the foundation for many. Even if the price fluctuates quite a bit, it’s stayed there for years and continues to do so. Ethereum too, it's a classic at 2.12K at the moment. The platform is really active with all the DeFi activity and smart contracts.
Solana is interesting because it’s really fast and the fees are ridiculously low compared to others. At 87.23 currently, it attracts quite a few developers looking for performance. Polkadot at 1.32, is considered by some to be the coin of the future, since it tries to connect different blockchains together.
Then, there are newer projects in fundraising phases, like Qubetics, which claims to solve scalability and fee issues. Of course, it’s more speculative, but it represents this kind of high-potential cryptocurrency in 2024 that people are watching. Pre-sale projects are always riskier, you need to be aware of that.
That’s just what I’ve seen circulating. Everyone has their own choices, of course, you really need to do your research before investing money.
