With all the market cap data, rankings, trends and such it can be overwhelming. Sometimes I like to take a high-level look at the market and get a different perspective; this table helps me do that. Hope you find it useful :)
Value Picks:
PivX - Is private, instant, verified transactions. PivX is a fork of Dash, but has 100% Proof of Stake vs Proof of Work alongside many other differences. The development team is strong, but the community support is even stronger, which is something that I always look for when evaluating competing currencies.
Ubiq - Ethereum has multiple forks planned for the future which may be disruptive to some businesses. Ubiq is offering a more stable blockchain for the Ethereum platform.
