When cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and a host of other alt-coins first appeared in 2009, the financial establishment was quick to dismiss the new, fast rising asset class as a fad. Today, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and other alt-coins are accepted by major retailers including Whole Foods, JC Penny, Gap and even the renowned Dadiani Art Gallery in Mayfair, London.

Virtual Currencies (Cryptocurrencies) : An Insider’s perspective

10 years on, cryptocurrencies have reached new heights. According to CoinMarketCap, a data provider tracking Cryptocurrency Market Capitalizations, the total value of the more than 800 publicly traded cryptocurrencies is currently 795 percent higher for the year, pushing past $158 billion for the first time ever as of 28 August 2017, with Bitcoin  accounting for nearly half of that growth.

In fact, Goldman Sachs’ chart analyst Sheba Jafari, previously made a prediction to CNBC that bitcoin could hit $4,800 and with Bitcoin currently trading at $4668, he looks on track to meet his forecast. Of other major coin cryptocurrencies – Ethereum valued at $340 today has grown 470%. Meanwhile, Litecoin is up an extraordinary 1300% from the beginning of the year.

With 5 to 10 million unique users to date, the question is no longer one of the legitimacy of cryptocurrencies as an asset class and medium of trade, but rather how does one discern the alt-coins backed by real fundamentals and those flash-in-pan dotcom type of coins.
