THELOGICALINDIAN - In a sample of over 150 top altcoins alone 4 had a absolute BTC acknowledgment over the accomplished year Other than BNB none of this 4 were alike in the top 100 alts a year ago
Bitcoin Has Been Hard To Beat
In the sample of 167 arch altcoins called by crypto analyst Ceteris Paribus, alone 6 performed bigger than Bitcoin over the accomplished 12 months. The accumulated BTC bazaar cap of all 167 has alone by a whopping 69%, from ₿23.4 actor to ₿7.2 million.
Perhaps added surprisingly, Binance Coin aside, the top performers didn’t alike annals in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by bazaar cap a year ago.
Another affinity is that all of these bill see the majority of their aggregate traded on the Binance exchange, assuming the accent of liquidity.
So who were the accomplished year’s big winners?…

If you absolutely capital to maximise your allotment this year you had to be captivation Chainlink. Chainlink is a decentralised answer account to affix acute affairs to abstracts from the alfresco world. Acute affairs cannot admission abstracts alfresco of their blockchain, so oracles act as a abstracts augment to activate them from alien contest (e.g. temperature).
But who cares about all that, back LINK badge is up 637% in BTC agreement over the accomplished year. A year in which bitcoin itself saw an all-embracing 50% gain. However it should be acclaimed that Chainlink is additionally adversity during bitcoin’s accepted amount correction.

Obviously, you would never accept done that, but if you did…
4. Binance Coin (BNB)
Binance Coin needs no introduction. It’s advance from ‘interesting’ barter badge to austere amateur has been well documented. The accomplished twelve months accept apparent it accretion 31% adjoin BTC. That may assume like a bagatelle compared to the top three performers, but circuitous with bitcoin’s own 50% all-embracing gain, that’s still a actual advantageous return.
5. Ren (REN)
Ren is an accessible agreement to accredit the permissionless and clandestine alteration of amount amid blockchains. It has apparent a 28% access in BTC amount in the accomplished year, authoritative it about as acceptable an advance as BNB.
6. Enjin Coin (ENJ)
