Albeit a distant second from its predecessor \u2013 Bitcoin, Ethereum is poised for rapid growth in 2018, due in part to its adaptability to a variety of applications. Ethereum already surpassed Bitcoin in terms of the number of transactions, with everything from simple investments to applications in real estate, energy, digital identity, and multi-platform inter-operability. This has led some experts to predict 2018 to be the year of Ethereum, in the same way that 2017 was indisputably Bitcoin\u2019s. Since Ethereum\u2019s inception in 2015, it has enjoyed a 1,200% growth and continues to rise steadily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OmiseGo (OMG)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most promising forms of cryptocurrency today, OmiseGo seeks to address the problems experienced by the large proportion of the world\u2019s population that have no access to banks and bank accounts. Its founders, sensing a great opportunity in mostly developing countries, aim to ease payments and investments through the OmiseGo currency.<\/p>\n<p>Already operating in Asia, OmiseGo aims to provide the unbanked with the means to own, send, and receive money at minimal cost. Although the value of a single token is a lot lower at $13.60,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oracletimes.com\/omisego-omg-almost-at-1-billion-whats-next-for-omg\/\">the total market of OmiseGo surpassed the $1 billion mark<\/a>\u00a0in November and is surely on the road to even greater heights. The strong team behind OmiseGo includes Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, and promises an exciting year for the cryptocurrency this 2018.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10902\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:200\/q:mauto\/f:best\/http:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:630\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 630w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:537\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 537w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:640\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:681\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-241544.jpeg 681w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ripple (XRP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ripple had seen a 4,000% increase in the first half of 2017 alone, and is currently priced at $1.36. Widely recognized as the fastest and most scalable form of cryptocurrency, Ripple has taken the banking world by storm with the sheer speed of transactions. For instance, transactions that take an hour with Bitcoin and several minutes with Ethereum can be completed with Ripple in just four seconds. With such efficiency, the cryptocurrency is able to handle up to 15,000 transactions per second.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jessedamiani\/2017\/12\/22\/5-reasons-why-the-ripple-price-is-going-up-so-fast-will-the-xrp-surge-continue\/2\/#765270ba21ea\">Forbes reports that transaction speed<\/a>\u00a0has set Ripple apart from the pack as a cryptocurrency that is of great use now, and not some distant future. What\u2019s more interesting is that it consistently outperforms its peers in terms of growth, and holds its value despite drop-offs in cryptocurrencies in general.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10903\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10903\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10903\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:225\/q:mauto\/f:best\/http:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:560\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 560w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:80\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 80w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:100\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:180\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 180w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:238\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 238w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:640\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:681\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/pexels-photo-159888.jpeg 681w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10903\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Neo (NEO)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last but not least is Neo, one of the smaller \u201caltcoins\u201d on the market and an underdog compared to giants like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Most notably, NEO has been soaring to all-time highs in recent weeks and is currently valued at $61.62. Experts and advisers predict that this momentum will continue in the foreseeable future, thanks in part to its $519.35 trading volume and strong demand.<\/p>\n<p>One notable strength of Neo is that the smart contract platform runs on the shoulders of a strong management team and a global open community of developers.
