USEFUL TOP 40 CRYPTOCURRENCY QUICK INFO CHART (CUSTOMIZABLE!)
The fast growing number of cryptocurrencies makes it sometimes hard to keep track of each coin's peculiarities. Was that coin a currency, an asset or a plattform? What was its maximum supply? Was there even one? Was it based on Ethereum or Waves? Did this one have a decentralized exchange or not? Was it Proof of Work or Proof of stake?
If, like me, you have trouble remembering so many details or if you are new to cryptos and don't have the time to go through all the pages and want to grasp the differences between some of the main ones in no time, here's a chart that might be useful.
The list does not follow the top 40 market caps in order; instead it is a personal list including the cryptos I find the most interesting, arranged according to their characteristics, not their capitalization. But you will find all of the top currencies in the list anyway. Feel free to modify, reorganize, correct or extend the table according to your own preferences. The file is in pdf, but also in xls and odp formats in case you want to modify it to fit your portfolio.

Nice post. Same mindset here. The decision to buy a coin should be based on real analysis of the coin. I found that people keep buying coins without have any knowledge of them. This is considered high risk. This is quite an interesting website I found: https://www.coincheckup.com For a complete crypto analysis on every single tradable crypto out there.
