This week in 2014. A glimpse of the past.

A lot has changed in crypto since 2014. It's hard to believe how far we've come sometimes. Looking back into historical rankings data, puts it in perspective how quickly the whole industry changes.

Here's the top 25 ranked projects from February 23rd , 2014 according to CMC. As you can see, most are not recognizable as top crypto names today.

There are a few survivors we can see though, still holding strong .

You could have bought around 869 DASH at this time, for $1000 USD. Today, those tokens would be worth:

A cool 63k from 1k allocated. Dash has proven to be a successful investment.

In Feb 2014, for $1000 USD, you could pick up a bag of 1,147,842 DOGE. Today, those DOGE would be worth:

$1000 into $101,251 with DOGE. Much wow.

As you can see, not all have done so well, though. Quark was the #10 crypto on this date, priced at 0.06 each. Today, Quark is valued at:

Sufficed to say, had you invested in Quark at this time, you would be quite Fuarked today.

Some other tokens that would have performed well if bought in this time include:

-DigiByte

-XRP

-Reddcoin

-Litecoin

However, the vast majority seem to have failed to survive the test of time..

Here are a selection of other lower ranked Sh#tcoins from Christmas' past, a time capsule if you will from Feb, 2014. Do you recognize, or worse - HODL any of these coins. Maybe some have actually done well?
