How do you tell one cryptocurrency from another?

For many investors it can be challenging to understand such a diverse ecosystem. With so many different cryptocurrencies to choose from, how can you distinguish one cryptocurrency from another?

Many people buy crypto without knowing what their project actually does. For some investors they invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum or other cryptocurrencies without considering what is their reason for being.

While other investors are influenced by retail hype or short term price movements, we consider the underlying category mix when constructing our portfolio. As specialist investors we have a strong understanding and appreciation of the fundamentals which assists us to allocate capital, in what we consider is an effective manner.

Specialist investors may have their own custom classification system. Crossgate Capital currently uses a number of crypto research and data tools which includes Messari, a leading data and information aggregator for the crypto asset industry.
