Crypto Ramblings: My topmost valuable cryptocurrencies today

Preliminary ramblings It's been a week since I posted my last article on **read.cash** and any other social media platform. I correct, I keep writing in **noise.cash** with short content but I try to make it interesting for the noisers with whom I share daily. This does not mean that I was inactive, on the contrary, I spent my time reading and analyzing interesting articles on **read.cash** from the authors I usually follow, as well as browsing newbie posts. I often wonder, when do you stop being a newbie to the blockchain world? I never cease to be amazed at the vast and dynamic carousel you embark on when exploring the emerging world. Also, the authors may be new to the use of the platform, but many of them show great intelligence and knowledge in their writing to contribute to the community. Of course, you also run into some who only seek to violate the rules. Sooner rather than later they go into exile. I am tempted to write about my recent reading experience, but I think I would act a little self-centered, and I don't see anything wrong with it! Share my thoughts about it, as a summary from my point of view, although as a wanderer, several ideas flutter that by themselves give content to articles. If you've read some of my crypto ramblings, you know that I focus on **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)**. So this time it will not be the exception. On this occasion, I go to the interesting article written yesterday by @CryptoMax where he makes a healthy criticism of the Investopedia publication on the supposed top 10 of the most important cryptocurrencies today, excluding Bitcoin Core (BTC). In this sense, I share many of @CryptoMax's objections. If you want to read them you can go to his article at the following link: https://read.cash/@CryptoMax/investopedias-top-10-most-important-cryptocurrencies-in-review-cc1a9cb6#1-ethereum-eth-here039s-what-i-think Perhaps it is exaggerated in inferring lack of objectivity in the Investopedia article. Of course, without a guaranteed technical competence, who believes me to doubt the ranking presented. I admit that I would write non-objectively about it myself when I am a **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** enthusiast. A brief comparison People love to compare things, in the case of cryptocurrencies it is evident that to determine which ones are convenient to invest and make money. Interestingly, they invest in something that is itself a candidate for money, and that was born to replace fiat money. With the passing of the decade, the scopes have diversified in definition and uses. In this sense, many of these go beyond the eminently monetary. I am not exempt from the taste for comparison, besides wandering also implies rehearsing and exploring without much methodological rigor, so I said to myself, «and if I compare the top 10 of Investopedia with a report generated by the CoinFairValue site. Of course, I do not know the criteria of Investopedia, you just have to get carried away by the reputation of the site that reflects the perspective of the information of the main exchanges. Comparison of the top 10 cryptocurrencies (INVESTOPEDIA AND COINFAIRVALUE)

You will have noticed in the table above that the currencies that appear in the CoinFairValue column are ordered by the reasonable capitalization deducted by the applied methodology, as I understand, it excludes speculation (see the table below - without the reference fiat currencies USD and EURO). Top ten cryptocurrencies by CoinFairValue

With concern, I note that **BCH** came out of the top 10 of the rating ordered by market capitalization. On the pages of the main cryptocurrency exchanges, it is located at fourteen. I wonder, is this a worrisome position? I think not, by the interesting application developments and the increase in transactions that it is experiencing. Although care must be taken for campaigns to the detriment of its promotion observed in some social networks aligned with BTC.

Now when you sort by reasonable market capitalization, the picture changes. If fiat currencies are excluded from the table, **BCH** is second to BTC. I am still trying to understand this situation. I am certain that **BCH** is superior to BTC in terms of amount and speed of transactions, and of course, at a low cost of the fee, ideal for mass adoption.

By sorting the table by the current market price, **BCH** enters the top 5. Remember that this price is determined by the supply of currencies in the market and the market capitalization. It is interesting to see two cryptocurrencies that I am not aware of at all that outperform ETHER. So it's a good idea to do your homework studying it.

By sorting cryptocurrencies by fair value BCH enters the top 3. Only beaten by BTC and an unknown yearn.finance. I have to study it, although its name must be associated with a type of DEFI, I would not be surprised if it was on the ETHEREUM platform.

As you may have noticed and much to your chagrin, if you are a **BCH** enthusiast, BTC still leads almost every position when you order with these metrics. But Which cryptocurrency ranks second? In this sense, I prepared a report with the Investopedia and CoinFairValue currencies, ordering it under a few simple criteria. The methodology, simple. Sort the currencies by an average of positions in the metrics presented in the previous tables, whose best value will be the closest to position 1; If it is not in the top 10, it will be assigned a value greater than the number of cryptos considered, in this case, 15. Let me show you an example. **Bitcoin Cash (BCH)** Market Cap: **15** Fair capitalization: **4** Price: **5** Fair value: **3** **Average: 6.75** The fact that BCH is not in the top ten for market capitalization spoiled its average. Top cryptocurrencies obtained by the author based on CoinFairValue (Preliminary)

Final ramblings Are you disappointed with my top 14 most valuable cryptocurrencies? I admit it, me too. I'd like to see **BCH** at the top of all metrics, but data is data. Also, consider that these data fluctuate dynamically, volatility is the norm. However, in this matter, the data can be misleading. The data make up the information, although there is data that is itself information. Look at the comments column of the table, they express a summary of the purpose of the crypto. In this sense, it helps to clarify the panorama and if you put the magnifying glass, you can be pleasantly surprised. By way of opening your mouth for the next article, I ask you, which of the cryptos in the presented rating are serious candidates to replace fiat money? Also, how many hidden gems are waiting to be discovered among the more than eight thousand cryptocurrencies? I have something pretty clear, neither BTC nor ETHER can compete with **BCH** for mass adoption. Try to pay for a coffee with BTC or ETHER, unless you have money to spare, you can only pay for the coffee every time you have enough for the cost of the network, crazy fee cost. For this reason alone, **BCH** is the most valuable for common and domestic use. I think that's what it's all about. BCH is second to no one; will soon be at the top despite the obstacles.
