Capitalization

Bitcoin gains popularity every day and the number of its owners is growing.  In 2017, the rate of the crypto-coin updated the highs almost every month.  In 2018 - we are still waiting for the "winter race" and it is coming up.  With the growth of the rate, the market capitalization of this currency increases, and traders play and benefit from market fall and volatility.  Many of them managed to make good money on Bitcoin, investing in it or trading on the stock exchange. Therefore, the question is, what are the ways to buy this cryptocurrency, and which are more convenient and profitable for the buyer, not for the seller.

The cryptocurrency markets have had a rough time in 2018, especially considering that they have nearly erased all their gains incurred during the massive bull run in late 2017.  In early 2018, the crypto market capitalization hit an all-time-high of approximately $830 billion before crashing to its lowest level of $203,9 billion on September 7th.

Bloomberg and Galaxy Digital Capital Management LP have announced on May 9, 2018, the launch of their joint product - the Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index (BGCI). The benchmark index is set to measure the market capitalization of top 10 crypto coins.

The cryptocurrency market has fallen below $250 billion in market share today.

The fifth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Litecoin, has increased in value from $109.07 on February 2 to $220 at the time of publishing. This is more than 100% price jump in just under two weeks.

No matter the number of television personalities talking about bitcoin, or how large the growing cryptocurrency market capitalization gets, blockchain will only be considered successful when a significant portion of our everyday online interactions are occurring on its networks.

In recent weeks, we have witnessed increased interest in DAG-based currencies. This new revolutionary technology, which addresses the problems of existing blockchain currencies, is part  of IOTA and Raiblock's recently success, whose capitalization increased seven-fold for IOTA and 20 times for RaiBlocks. Both of these currencies have recently become popular with everyone wanting to buy some. The price of Byteball, however, stayed the same for a long time. Now the sleeping giant has woken up and its price has increased from $330 to $770, more than 130%.

As of October 12, 2017, the capitalization of the cryptocurrency market has reached $162 billion.

Bitcoin did it again. On Saturday, August,5, Bitcoin’s price refreshed the historic high surging to $3,300 from around $2,800 that it had been at a day before. Bitcoin managed to add almost 18% in value, and may definitely keep on going.
