Bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies’ values have skyrocketed in recent years. Bitcoin’s price has more than doubled in 2021, and Ethereum has more than quadrupled in value this year.
It has a shorter blockchain creation time (one minute) and a vastly greater number of coins in circulation — the creators’ target of 100 billion units mined by July 2015 was met, and there’s a supply limit of 5.2 billion units mined every year thereafter, with no known supply limit.

The decision to buy cryptocurrency should always have a long-term outlook, as crypto prices can be particularly volatile. Safemoon is no different, as in its short lifespan, the price has already exhibited some significant price swings.

Altcoins also sometimes differ in the method of verification used to authenticate transactions. While some altcoins use Proof-of-Work systems, others use Proof-of-Stake consensus, which replaces miners with validators. Proof-Of-Stake mining requires a lot less energy and fewer resources than Proof-Of-Work systems since Proof-Of-Work miners have to do much more ‘work’ to mine blocks.
