The first cryptocurrency we would like to tell you about is the parent of all other altcoins and the largest digital currency – Bitcoin (BTC). At the moment, the capitalization of Bitcoin exceeds 40 billion US dollars and continues to grow rapidly, as Bitcoin finds more and more users due to its low cost transactions, availability, convenience of use and hi-tech solutions. Many companies around the world accept payments via this electronic system. For example, in a number of developed countries you can already buy home appliances or order food delivery for the virtual currency, change your bitcoins in special ATMs into local currency and even make utility payments.
The dynamics of bitcoin is showing huge growing pace. Over the past few months, Bitcoin has grown 3 times, having risen from the level of 901.19, posted on March 25, 2017, to its historic high, reached on May 25, at the level of 2,736.58. At the moment, bitcoin is trading in the area of 2370.00.

Another cryptocurrency, available for trading in Forex.ee, which we will talk about is Litecoin (LTC), also commonly called as digital silver. Litecoin was created as an alternative to Bitcoin, but unlike BTC it has a higher level of maximum emissions (up to 84 000 000 litecoins in the network, which is four times more than the maximum number of bitcoins) and a higher block generation speed, which allows to confirm transactions faster. At the moment, Litecoin is the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization with a total market capitalization of 1.3 billion US dollars.

The capitalization of Ethereum at the moment is more than 20 billion US dollars, which puts it on the second place (after bitcoin) by the total market capitalization.
