Small Alt Makes Big Gains When Most Others Stagnate

While Bitcoin is constantly soaring to new yearly highs, most alts remain somewhat stagnant. Bitcoin broke $11,400 earlier today, a 202% year-to-date price increase, while Ethereum is currently at $310 a 133% year-to-date increase. While Ethereum's gains are more impressive than most traditional investments, it and many alts cannot compare to Bitcoin.

A Challenger Appears!

Surprisingly, there have been a handful of alts that managed to outperform Bitcoin. The best of these alts has been Chainlink. The lesser known alt has managed to make surprising strides in 2019, with its price jumping from $0.28 to $2.16, a 671% increase. Chainlink not only gained ground against the dollar, but also in BTC/LINK and ETH/LINK pairings.









The cryptocurrency has also begun to draw the attention of crypto influencers on Twitter.
