What cryptocurrency is on the rise?

Cryptocurrencies can be classified into two types: the major currencies (such as bitcoin and ether to name just two) and all the 100s of altcoins. The large price drops experienced by the major cryptocurrencies has led to the investors shifting their focus to the altcoins, leading to an increase in the rise of some altcoins. That is, the altcoins are increasing in usage and price. Some of the popular altcoins include Ripple, Stellar, Litecoin, Monero, Zcash, and Steem, among others. But the coin rising the most at any given time can be radically different from the coins which may be rising days or weeks later.
