Bitcoin’s competitors are also at all-time highs — and rising fast

It’s a good day for someone who believes in cryptocurrencies that aren’t Bitcoin.

Don’t get me wrong — Bitcoin is doing just fine. At $17,459, it’s grown more than 5 percent in the last 24 hours.

But Ethereum and Litecoin, as well as numerous other cryptocurrencies, are doing even better. Ethereum rose 21 percent in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $630, while Litecoin grew a whopping 83% in that same period and is trading at $327, according to CoinMarketCap. Both cryptocurrencies are trading at an all-time high right now.
