The crypto market saw a major breakthrough for cryptocurrencies, observing the highest sales of all time in 2017; only to see it lose its crown and spiral all the way downhill in the blink of an eye.
In recent years, the news of Cryptocurrency surfaced with ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) being the talk of the entire industry, giving a whole new meaning to digital transactions. The Internet was the driving force that rode cryptocurrencies to skyrocket to unbelievable heights.

Ever since Bitcoin was launched in 2009, there have been many more cryptocurrencies that have launched to take advantage of the growing popularity of digital currency. To give you a rough idea, there are almost 2000 cryptocurrencies present in the market today. Some of them have given great returns to their investors while others have faded into oblivion.
