Every good Top 10 Altcoins list must start with the mother of cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin [BTC]
The Crypto Gold
On Rank 1 of my Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is Bitcoin, BTC has overcome many barriers to adoption, growing to a $170 billion market capitalization in 10 years with no marketing team, no investment bank backing and no support from governments.
Everyone that held Bitcoin for more than 3 years, is in profit on their initial purchase. However, many people capitulate just shortly after making their purchase. The extreme volatility can be a nerve-wracking game but here is a guide that helps you to beat the market.
Update June 2020:
Bitcoin next weak on the German Stock Exchange Xetra!
Grayscale bought more Bitcoin than miners were able to mine!

Ethereum [ETH]
Number 2 or soon Number 1?
On Rank 2 of my Top 10 Altcoin list is Ethereum the question is how long?
I think BTC and ETH they’re so different that it’s actually like choosing between apple and banana, both are fruits but they taste very different but there are many ethereum fans out there waiting for the flippening, nobody can really say if it comes but while there’s life, there’s hope!
Ethereum will soon “become a POS‘proof of stake’ coin rather than a POW ‘proof of work’ coin,” could this be the beginning of the flippening?

The two leading cryptocurrencies have “very different use cases, with Bitcoin acting as store of value and Ethereum acting as a new decentralized computing network for application development,”
- Zac Prince, founder and CEO of BlockFi
Update 23.07.2020:
Number 2 or soon maybe 1 of the Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is Ethereum: (ETH) Chart: 1. Apr — 3.Jun
Chainlink [LINK]
The first decentralised oracle network
On Rank 3 of my Top 10 Altcoin List is LINK one of the best cryptocurrency to invest in 2020, Chainlink figured out how to get information in and out of a blockchain in a way that is secure, trustworthy, and decentralized. Sources of data between the blockchain and the “real” world, known as oracles, no longer needed to be a single point of failure for a smart-contract-program.
Chainlink created a network of nodes to provide information to and from the blockchain and as a result created a vital piece of smart-contract-infrastructure. This “blockchain middleware” meant Chainlink oracles could provide essential information such as price feeds, event results, and links to traditional payment systems without sacrificing on decentralization or security.
Chainlink and Kadena have collaborated to create what they describe as the world’s first hybrid public/private blockchain oracle integration. Kadena is bringing the hybrid chain, and Chainlink is bringing the oracles.
“We’re excited to augment the value created through Kadena’s unique hybrid blockchain by bringing secure and reliable data feeds on-chain via Chainlink decentralised oracle networks. With this access to high-quality credential API data via Chainlink oracles, the Kadena ecosystem can begin developing next-generation smart contracts that depend on real-world data,”
- Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink
Chainlink creates value in the Blockchain world with his Oracles.
Where the blockchain meets the outside world has been a huge vulnerability in decentralized applications (dapps) until Chainlink created a secure bridge. The points where data comes into the blockchain are also the points where data can be manipulated or compromised.

New on Rank 3 of the Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is Chainlink: (LINK) Chart: 1. Apr — 3.Jun
Unibright [UBT]
ETH’s key for enterprises
On Rank 4 of my Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is UBT, Unibright is taking on one of the most critical areas to the adoption of blockchain technology, by looking for ways to offer blockchain technology in a simple manner to businesses and enterprises.
Businesses need this new technology for its productivity enhancements, efficiency, and cost savings potential, but are hesitant to adopt technology with a steep learning curve. With the Unibright solution there’s no need for a business to have any knowledge or expertise in blockchain, but they can still benefit from the technology that the blockchain is providing.
Unibright is a unified framework, offering all tools and functions to support a complete blockchain based business integration lifecycle.
The central part of the Unibright ecosystem is the Unibright Contract Interface (UCI) that connects all parts of the Unibright framework.
What is the Unibright Business Workflow Designer?
Integration workflows based on smart templates are visually customized with the Unibright Business Workflow Designer.
What is the Unibright Contract Lifecycle Manager?
Automatically generated smart contracts are deployed, maintained and updated by the Unibright Contract Lifecycle Manager.
What is the Unibright Explorer?
Existing smart contracts are monitored via automatically generated smart queries by the Unibright Explorer.
What is the Unibright Connector?
Existing IT landscapes as well as other blockchains are integrated into the integration process via automatically configured smart adapters by the Unibright Connector.
Also new on Rank 4 of the Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is Unibright: (UBT) Chart: 1. Apr — 3.Jun
Basic Attention Token [BAT]
BAT and Brave Browser are growing!
One of my favorite projects in my Top 10 Altcoins list is BAT on Rank 5.
Basic Attention token is a digital advertising token which is built on the Ethereum blockchain. The purpose of the BAT token is to create an ad exchange marketplace which will connect the advertisers, publishers, and users in a decentralized manner. The purpose of BAT is to monetize user attention and remove all the other ad networks.
It Serves as a unit of exchange by cutting out the middlemen
It Rewards users, publishers, and advertisers.
Users get paid for giving attention to ads.
Publishers get a portion of the ad revenue.
Advertisers get better ROI for their content.
The BAT team created the Brave Browser, an in-house native browser which is integrated with the Bat system. BAT tokens are the native currency that will be used by the system.
Brave Browser is growing!
Brave has gotten more attention than the most new browsers.
This May, Brave saw its monthly active users pass the 15 million mark with 15.4 million users, a growth of 125% over the past year.

0x [ZRX]
A protocol that allows for decentralized exchange of tokens and assets issued on the Ethereum blockchain.
Rank 6 of the Top 10 Altcoins is ZRX, 0x is a decentralized exchange protocol that developers can use to build their own cryptocurrency exchanges. The company’s founder refers to his solution as the “Craigslist for cryptocurrencies” in that any developer can build their own cryptocurrency exchange and post it online.
When Warren and Bandeali co-founded the 0x Project in October of 2016, they did so in hopes of a world that allows for every asset’s representation as part of the Ethereum blockchain. Ideally, the included assets would have everything from digital game items to stocks to gold and fiat currencies. With so much tokenization, there will be thousands of different types of tokens, requiring a trustless exchange for users. While the co-founders appreciate the developments of decentralized exchanges, they saw an opportunity for improvement. With 0x, they hope to address the inefficiencies of decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges as well as the inability of various exchanges to work together.
Tip:
You can stake your 0x (ZRX) and earn ETH, you can find more infos here

Komodo [KMD]
Komodo is not a coin, it is an entire network with its own DEX.
Komodo (KMD) is an open, composable Smart Chain platform built on a multi-chain architecture and ranked with his Technology on Rank 7 of my Top 10 Altcoins list. Komodo’s multi-chain architecture enables an entire ecosystem of sovereign Smart Chain projects to co-exist independently, each with their own consensus, network, and coin.
Antara Smart Chains are future-proof, allowing projects to scale to multiple chains, and even tokenize to become their own platform. The Antara Integration Layer lowers the barriers to blockchain adoption by providing a standard, open API.
All Smart Chains are secured with the power of the Bitcoin network every 10 minutes through Komodo’s DpoW Delayed Proof-of-Work security mechanism.
Komodo also offers a comprehensive portfolio of white label products to help new projects go to market faster, including a multi-coin wallet, atomic swap DEX, custom block explorers, and hosted infrastructure solutions.

It was a wild ride for to get to Rank 6 of the Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 Komodo: (KMD) Chart: 1. Apr — 3.Jun
Energi [NRG]
A self-funding cryptocurrency for world adoption
Number 8 of my Top 10 Altcoins in 2020 is NRG, Energi has moved to an Ethereum-based code-base (see the Roadmap). Energi has adopted all of Ethereum’s existing capabilities, in addition to Energi’s finely tuned Treasury and Governance model to drastically expand growth and adoption.
We are grateful to the Ethereum developers and community, and will support Solidity devs and projects who come to Energi where they may benefit from our services, while working with the same basic coding architecture.
-Energi Team
Over time, Energi will continually upgrade the code-base to maximize capabilities, or eventually develop a brand new platform with the latest technology as the greatest needs within the cryptocurrency space become clear and continue to evolve.
With the new upgrade to GEN 3 you only need 1000 Energi to set up a masternode.

Bitpanda Eco System Token [BEST]

Energy Web Token [EWT]
Maybe the best crypto for 2020?
On Rank 10 a newcomer under the Top 10 Altcoins is EWT maybe one of the best altcoins to buy in 2020. It’s exactly one year ago as the Energy Web Foundation announced their blockchain is going live. Energy Web (EW) Chain is “a global blockchain infrastructure, Proof-of-Authority blockchain supporting commercial applications with well-known organizations as validator nodes.”
The Energy Web Token (EWT) is used for two main purposes on the EW Chain validator compensation & Security
The validators on the EW Chain are globally renowned companies in the energy sector making this one of the most legitimate projects out there.
Energy Web Token has too many big name members to mention. Global brands such as Total, Shell, GE and Siemens are on board. But most are regional electricity generators or grids. From the U.S. there’s Duke Energy and PG&E, but they also have major brands from Asia and many of Europe’s biggest providers. Numerous startups are also participating.
“According to industry forecasts, by 2030 consumers would invest more money in distribution-edge devices such as solar PV photovoltaic, batteries, charging stations, electric vehicles, smart controls, than electric utilities would invest in power generation and electricity grids. This is a massive and unprecedented shift,”
- Hervé Touati, CEO of EWF.
Elon Musk and Tesla working with Energy Web Token (EWT)?
Elon Musk and Tesla with the renewable energy along with Autobidder which has been promoted by Grid Singularity prompted the notion that Tesla and Energy Web Token may have some underlying connections.
At the time of this writing, no official statement has been yet released confirming these speculations.
“Blockchains would appear to be able to solve some of the challenges that the energy sector is facing in this. We don’t have digital identities for customers in most cases. We don’t have digital identities for assets. We don’t have a way, for example, for devices like a Tesla powerwall to conduct financial settlement at extremely low cost and in an automated way.”
-Jesse Morris, Chief Commercial Officer of EWF
