💲Store Of Value Cryptocurrencies💲

As the name suggests, store of value cryptocurrencies are designed to hold or even increase their purchasing power over time While Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that falls into the store of value category, some would argue that other cryptocurrencies like Litecoin fall under this umbrella as well

👨‍💻 Smart Contract Cryptocurrencies👨‍💻

Smart contract cryptocurrencies are designed to be programmable with less emphasis on storing value. They make it possible to create tokenized assets and decentralized applications There are over 5 thousand dApps with millions of users on about two dozen smart contract cryptocurrency blockchains, mainly Ethereum and the Binance Smart Chain

🔮Oracle Cryptocurrencies🔮

Oracle cryptocurrencies make it possible to bring real world data to smart contract cryptocurrency blockchains The difference between data feeds like APIs and oracle cryptocurrencies is that the data feeds that oracle cryptocurrencies provide are decentralized

💳Payment Cryptocurrencies💳

Payment cryptocurrencies aim to replace the current payment systems we use today, and sometimes use smart contract technology to do this Popular payment cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Terra, and Telcoin. Some of these payment cryptos feature elaborate smart contracts and dApp ecosystems focused on payments

🔏Privacy Cryptocurrencies🔏

Privacy cryptocurrencies are designed to preserve your privacy when making transactions or using dApps These are the issues that privacy cryptocurrencies seek to address, and they come in all sorts of textures and flavors with some focusing on smart contracts and others on payments

📊Exchange Tokens📊

Exchanges tokens are owned and operated by the cryptocurrency exchanges they belong to. You can think of exchange tokens as being a combination of a membership subscription and company stock Exchange tokens are like a membership subscription because they can give you a whole bunch of perks such as trading fee discounts and VIP access to early coin and token sales Exchange tokens are like company stock because the performance of an exchange token depends on the popularity of the exchange in question

🐶Meme Coins🐶

Most meme coins have no specific use case and exist for no other reason besides hype and a false promise of profit Many of the meme coins you’ve seen pop up over the last few months have similarly massive supplies, which means they won’t be reaching 1 dollar any time soon either Most meme coins exist for one purpose, and that’s to enrich their creators. You can try your luck riding that wave, but the risk is not worth the reward in my personal opinion.
