From everything I’ve read and looked into over this past yr. the following are the extremely simplified definitions & understandings of each cryptocurrency.

**\*\*** I also listed a few cryptocurrencies below each of my definition understandings that I thought were similar to the crypto above. Please correct me if I’m wrong and any are not similar & feel free to add any other altcoins that are similar and that you believe has potential of becoming a successful project.

**(Please be kind on this post, I’m only trying to educate myself on this subject, thank you.)**
