All claims plausible $7,200.00BitcoinBecome global money.Bitcoin is impossible to steal without a password (private key), limited to 21 M coins and can be transferred to anyone instantly with near zero fees (layer two networks).At the time of this writing bitcoin does appear to possess all of the capabilities claimed. However, this is a new field of computer science and security researchers are actively looking for new attacks or weaknesses in the bitcoin design and implementation.21,000,000$7,200.00$151,200,000,000151 Billion0.00000004761904762

Most claims false$520.00LitecoinAct as silver to to bitcoin's gold.All of the features of bitcoin plus faster confirmation times, smaller blockchain, more transactions per second and more decentralized mining using an "asic resistant" algorithm for proof of work.Litecoin security is poor as compared to bitcoin and it does not supplement bitcoin in anyway. It supports a negligible increase in transactions per second at layer 1, but this is irrelevant since blockchains require layer 2 networks to support a large number of transactions. At layer 2 litecoin does not support more transactions per second than bitcoin. Transactions are not secured faster than bitcoin (for the same amount of hash power confirmation you actually need to wait longer). The blockchain is not smaller per transaction. Mining is not more decentralized than bitcoin. Litecoin's proof of work algorithm is not ASIC resistant.84,000,000$130.00$10,920,000,00011 Billion

Most claims false$356,298,610.34EthereumProvide a platform that makes it easy to build applications that require high security such as anonymous stock ownership and transfers (ICOs).All of the features of bitcoin plus a more powerful programming language that makes it easier to develop complex applications and the ability to perform more transactions per second.Ethereum uses a programming language that is very difficult to use without introducing catastrophic security flaws into the application. The Ethereum platform is not secure enough for high security applications and this has recently been acknowledged by the front man of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin. The Ethereum blockchain has performance problems that may make it impractical as a decentralized platform due to the size of the blockchain and the computing resources required to validate the contents of the blockchain. However, Ethereum has proved secure enough for ICOs to date.10,320,373,540,800.90$725.00$7,482,270,817,080,6507 Quadrillion

All claims false$967.00Bcash (aka Bitcoin Cash)Become global money.All of the features of bitcoin, but with more transactions per second.Bcash negligibly increased the number of transactions per second by using a larger block size. Bcash contains security flaws that prevent the creation of layer two networks that greatly improve transactions per second. Bcash also contains a security flaw that allows miners to "fake" proof of work. Bcash is essentially a clone of bitcoin that has security flaws not present in bitcoin.21,000,000$967.00$20,307,000,00020 Billion

All claims false$3,380.95RippleConnect banks, payment providers, digital asset exchanges and corporates via RippleNet to provide one frictionless experience to send money globally.The most advanced blockchain technology that is scalable, secure and interoperates different networks and also provides optional access to the world's fastest and most scalable digital asset for payments (XRP).Ripple has no innovating technical capabilities and is attempting to solve a problem, coordinating trusted parties, that does not benefit from "blockchain technology." In addition it is highly unlikely that any user of the ripple network would use the XRP token as it is optional and solves no problems.100,000,000,000$0.71$71,000,000,00071 Billion

All claims false$707.14Cardano (ADA)Provide a platform that makes it easy to build applications that require high security such as anonymous stock ownership and transfers (ICOs) "with more advanced features than any protocol previously developed."The development team consists of a large global collective of expert engineers and researchers. No other claims are made about the value of Cardano and this is unusual for a project that has already raised large amount of money from investors.The development team does not include any top 10% experts in "blockchain technology" or computer science.45,000,000,000$0.33$14,850,000,00014 Billion

All claims false$1,677.82Stellarto facilitate cross-asset transfers of value, including payments.Stellar give people, payment networks, or banks equal access & economic participationStellar has no innovating technical capabilities and is attempting to solve a problem, coordinating trusted parties, that does not benefit from "blockchain technology." 103,629,819,514$0.34$35,234,138,63535 Billion

All claims false$325.71EOSProvide a platform that makes it easy to build applications that require high security such as anonymous stock ownership and transfers (ICOs).All of the features of bitcoin plus a more powerful programming language that makes it easier to develop complex applications and the ability to perform more transactions per second.The EOS project has not presented any evidence that they have discovered design solutions to any problems that need to be solved in order to increase the functionality or scalability of "blockchain technology." Since the software has not undergone significant security or functional testing it is also not reasonable for the EOS team to believe strongly that they have discovered significant implementation improvements.900,000,000$7.60$6,840,000,0007 Billion

All claims false$400.00NEOProvide a platform that makes it easy to build applications that require high security such as anonymous stock ownership and transfers (ICOs).All of the features of bitcoin plus a more powerful programming language that makes it easier to develop complex applications and the ability to perform more transactions per second.The NEO project has not presented any evidence that they have discovered design solutions to any problems that need to be solved in order to increase the functionality or scalability of "blockchain technology." Since the software has not undergone significant security or functional testing it is also not reasonable for the NEO team to believe strongly that they have discovered significant implementation improvements.100,000,000$84.00$8,400,000,0008 Billion

All claims false$201.43NEMProvide a platform that makes it easy to build applications that require a "blockchain".An easy to use blockchain that is fast and inexpensive.NEM is essentially a database with digital signatures on transactions. This capability has been built into databases, such as Microsoft SQL server, for over a decade. NEM simply uses the excitement around "blockchain" technology in order to sell a database and a loosely associated digital token.8,999,999,999$0.47$4,230,000,0004 Billion
