Major fortunes, millions of dollars in some cases, have been made and lost with alt-coins. So, it might be in your interest to keep reading and then continue with your research of the alt-coins and application coins.

Bitcoin was the category creator of crypto-currency and got everyone excited with huge movements in the Bitcoin price. That is what happens when it goes from $0.05 to $1,200 in four years. Millionaires get minted!

With the initial innovation has come an explosion of 'alt-coins'. Bitcoin is considered a SHA-256 coin because it uses that algorithm for the proof of work component.

Other alt-coins use different algorithms such as scrypt, X11, X13, X15, NIST5 and 100% proof of stake. Often the developers of alt-coins are seeking to develop some new innovation that makes it more useful to market participants.

Alt-coins have traditionally been extremely volatile in price which seems to draw speculators. So far only a few of the 600+ alt-coins are included so we hope you find the resource pages useful and you may find this list of upcoming ICOs helpful as well!
