Choosing the right cryptocurrency is a matter of your portfolio construction and risk tolerance. Bitcoin is the longest tenured, most secure and most decentralized. Depending on their specific use cases, altcoins may have a higher price ceiling, but also a much lower floor.
When researching a new cryptocurrency, you’ll want to consider its current market cap, its tokenomics (max supply, current supply, token release schedule), the team building the protocol, existing partnerships, who their competition is, the size of the market they’re going after, and the amount of volume currently being traded.
Generally speaking, cryptocurrencies are secure due to the cryptography they’re built upon. However, different blockchains take different approaches, and it’s possible that certain chains are less secure than others. Bitcoin’s blockchain uses the SHA 256 algorithm, which is borrowed from existing, secure databases and has never been cracked.
Outside of the blockchain itself, how you decide to store your cryptocurrency is another major factor in security. The most common ways to store your coins are in software or hardware wallets.
