Cryptocurrencies – our daily report (10.24.2021)
Bitcoin
Bitcoin is the world’s first decentralized digital currency. It operates without a central bank or a single administrator, thus it is a direct peer-to-peer system, which doesn’t need intermediaries. Transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger, called a blockchain. The currency, which began use in 2009, was created by Satoshi Nakamoto. It is the most valuable and most well-known cryptocurrency so far, still retaining a lot of growth potential.
During the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has experienced a slight increase in value. The price of the oldest cryptocurrency has been surprisingly stable for the last couple of hours; however, an increase in value is to be expected. The current growth rate is +0.07%. We suggest that you keep a close eye on Bitcoin prices, as there might be a new investment window opening up.

Ethereum
Although it isn’t the second oldest cryptocurrency, with Litecoin, Namecoin, and Switfcoin all created prior to the creation of Ethereum, it is the second most-valuable cryptocurrency in terms of price and market capitalization. It was initially conceived by Vitalik Buterin in 2013, and in 2015 it went live. It is estimated that this cryptocurrency might skyrocket to as much as $12 000 by the end of the year. However, when speculating about cryptocurrencies, we should always expect the completely unexpectable.
The price of Ethereum has also been dramatically increasing for the past 24 hours, once again surpassing the $4 000 mark. The current growth percentage is +2.10%. It is once again getting closer and closer to a peak value.

Since yesterday, the price of Dogecoin has remained practically unchanged.

Ripple (XRP)
Ripple has been relatively stable throughout the second half of 2021. There is a decent chance that prices will reach an all-time-high in the near future, although for the past couple of months the value has stayed roughly the same. It is a decently stable investment, but you should never invest too much in any cryptocurrency.
The price of Ripple is the same as it was yesterday, continuing the trend of stability.
Price at its lowest this year: $0.238 | €0.21
Price at its highest this year: $1.81 | €1.56
Current price: $1.09 | €0.95
Cardano
Cardano aims to directly compete with Ethereum and other similar decentralized platforms as a more secure, scalable, and efficient alternative. Since the beginning of the year, this currency has more than doubled in price. In recent months it has also remained quite stable. This also makes it lower-risk, relatively stable investment.
During the past 24 hours, the price of Cardano also hasn’t changed.
Price at its lowest this year: $1.06 | €0.92
Price at its highest this year: $3.10 | €2.66
Current price: $2.15 | €1.86
Polkadot
One of the more recently popular cryptocurrencies, Polkadot claims to be one of the more environmentally friendly currencies of its kind. After a steep fall in price in May, Polkadot has recovered from its pitfall, gradually increasing to an almost all-time-high. It seems that this cryptocurrency is also going to be on the rise in the foreseeable future.
Since yesterday, the value of Polkadot has decreased. The current growth rate is -2.42%. This is opening a new investment opportunity.

Price at its highest this year: $46.85 | €40.46
Current price: $43.35 | €37.22

Stellar has remained very stable for years, although it used to be low in price. This May, however, this cryptocurrency reached its all-time-high, after which it suffered a steep fall, similar to many other cryptocurrencies. The current trend for Stellar is a gradual increase, which could also lead to a new all-time-high for this currency.
