15 Altcoins to 15X Before the End of 2024

Don't say I didn't warn you

99Bitcoins

I started writing for 99Bitcoins this week, one of the oldest and most respected publications covering Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If you type "What is Bitcoin?” into YouTube, the most viewed video you'll get is from 99Bitcoins.

With all that said just because something is considered 'old' or 'respected' doesn't necessarily mean it's worth reading.

Look at the NYT — at this point, I don't even know the deal with the “New York Times Best Seller” award and why every book has it.

As 99Bitcoins continues to add new talent, however, I thought I'd share 15 cryptocurrencies with 15x potential as someone in the crypto industry.

We're ignoring Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana to invest in smaller market caps with tremendous upside. Not financial advice.

I almost paywalled this because of how valuable the info is here. But as I'm late in getting this article out — mostly because my 99BTC job starts at 5 am and is based in England—here it is free. Enjoy.

#1 Realio Network (RIO) - Real Estate on the Blockchain

If you take anything away from this article, let it be this: Success in crypto investing is not investing by project; it's first investing by sector and then project.

Real World Assets, DePIN, Gaming, AI, and Memes are the hottest sectors.

We’ll get into each, but as for Realio, it is part of the real-world asset sector, something undiscovered in the mainstream.

The RWA sector stands out with the largest potential market in the world. Its goal is to tokenize—meaning allow you to invest on the blockchain—some of the biggest sectors including real estate, commodities, precious metals, stocks, bonds, and art.

As for the Realio Network it offers a solution for tokenizing and purchasing fractional real estate shares. It's the first of its kind and is still ranked outside the top 1000 by market cap, making it an undiscovered gem.

#2 Render (RNDR) - Um, What? Wow.

Built on Ethereum, Render (RNDR) is a decentralized platform that facilitates the distribution and sharing of GPU computing power. The upshot is if your computer isn't powerful enough to design art, video games, or CGI effects in movies, you can use Render to borrow graphic power and get this done.

The pearl clutching in the GPU sector is mad. Due to gaming, crypto mining, and Nvidia’s AI boom, graphics cards are expensive. Render is a solution to this. It also allows you to go to sleep and run a node on your graphics card netting you passive income from institutions that use your GPU’s cores.

According to Beeple, creator of the most expensive NFT artwork, "The interface is super simple, there's tons of different options, and it's cost-effective..."

#3 Heroes of Mavia (MAVIA) - Crypto Clash of Clans

Moving into GameFi, or blockchain-based gaming — another unrealized sector — Heroes of Mavia (MAVIA) is shaping up to be a crypto "Clash of Clans."

It's a fun game that I invested in EARLY in 2021. You can also buy land in the game from Open Sea and earn passive income rewards in RUBY and MAVIA, their in-game cryptocurrency.

Heroes of Mavia is still below the $300m market cap, sitting at $6.48, for something many GameFi investors consider the next Axie Infinity (which went to around $6b-$8b market cap last bull). Think on that.

#4 Nakamoto Games (NAKA) - Web3 Gaming

Sticking with GameFi, Nakamoto Games (NAKA) is the ultimate Web3 gaming hub with over 200 games on its platform.

In a first of its kind, Nakamoto Games has launched direct gaming through Telegram without any additional downloads, available via @NAKAGamesBot. They have consistently outperformed most other gaming projects in 2024, now ranked in the 250s by market cap.

#5 Helium (HNT) - Crypto 5G

Let’s get into another budding industry: DePIN.

For years, physical infrastructure—encompassing everything from your phone network to Google Maps—has been firmly in the grasp of large centralized corporations. Blockchain is enabling a move toward decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN).

One project in this space is Helium. Built on Solana, Helium provides physical network devices that promote IoT, Wifi, and 5G connectivity. They even have a pilot program in Miami that offers Helium cellphone plans that are much cheaper than competitors. The upshot is Helium allows you to buy into cheap netorks, or you can own a part of the network by buying one of their devices providing Wifi, IoT, or cellphone coverage.

#6 Hivemapper (HONEY) - Decentralized Google Maps

In a massive innovation to the widely popular Google Street View, Hivemapper is a decentralized Google Maps alternative. By incentivizing users with HONEY rewards, Hivemapper pays you to map the world in your car.

To do this, Hivemapper sells dashcam units that, once set up, passively earn the user income as they drive around. There are also other opportunities to earn, such as mapping with your phone or contributing to AI training datasets.

#7 Bittensor (TAO) - Decentralized AI

Bittensor (TAO) allows for the collaborative training of AI across a blockchain-based network, enabling users to share and monetize their AI capabilities and predictions.

Bittensor is the premier decentralized AI play in crypto right now. That said its price is high at $575.89—with still tremendous room to grow mind you—but you can also look into NAO (Nettensor). NAO hits the same sticking points:

• AI Narrative

• L2 of Bittensor

• Two weeks old, and hasn't had its hype run yet

• Low MarketCap

• My reservation right now is I haven't researched Nettensor enough, so be careful and DYOR

#8 Theta Network (THETA) - Netflix Meets Crypto

Theta is a unique crypto project that can be used to save steaming companies like Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, and Hulu on their CDN cost (content delivery network) and make server rooms a thing of the past.

Theta decentralizes video streaming services through peer-to-peer blockchain technology and delegates data between the central server and the Theta nodes. In non-nerd speak, the network is more secure and faster, and users can earn passive income by sharing their unused bandwidth and computing resources while streaming videos.

#9 Claynosaurz - An NFT Project I Think is Cool

claynosaurz

A post shared by @claynosaurz

Claynosaurz is a Pixar-inspired NFT project built by Veteran artists with notable feature film credits. It was built on the Solana blockchain, beginning as a universe of stylized dinosaurs called “Claynos,” and has now expanded to short CGI movies.

Listen, I know NFTs are for the ultra-wealthy that snort cocaine off a Miami stripper's ass at 4 am. Still, this project stands out to me as something that will grow. I'll report more after NFT.NYC.

#10  Book of Meme (BOME) – The Next Shiba Inu?

Meme coins. Sure. Why not? If you're not in the know, meme coins are making overnight millionaires right now on Solana with tokens like "Dogwifhat" and "Book of Meme." Book of Meme is literally up 1484.00% in one year.

Book of Meme | 99Bitcoins

Let me say, I have no problem picking up some meme coins for the shits and giggles... but if you bet the farm on them that's on you. Just try to explain losing all of your money on a token called “BunnyWifCake” – even your therapist won’t be able to hold in his laughter!

#11 Chirp Wireless (CHIRP) - Helium Competitor

Chirp innovated on top of Helium’s work in the IoT space by selling a physical wireless device called a Blackbird, specifically designed to provide coverage for the “Internet of Things.”

The Blackbird offers extensive network coverage spanning tens of square miles (LoRa). When the product is officially launched, you will soon be able to earn CHIRP rewards by contributing to the Chirp Blackbird network.

#12 Sui Blockchain

Sui is the blockchain project that Facebook developers have invested in. With big-name backers like Tim Draper, it is a layer-1 blockchain like Ethereum but focuses on privacy, security, and speed.

I’m not fully convinced about Sui due to centralization (though they’re working on reducing that). However, I’ll keep a close watch since Facebook was confident about this project until regulators stepped in.

#13 Enjin (ENJ) - Microsoft of Blockchains

Built on Ethereum, Enjin (ENJ) is considered by many to be a surefire GameFi investment; it’s like investing in the Microsoft of the crypto world. Enjin allows game developers to manage and integrate NFTs into traditional video games.

In fact, Microsoft has partnered with Enjin for Azure and Minecraft.

#14 The Graph (GRT) - Google of Blockchains

Officially launched in December 2020, the Graph (GRT) is an indexing protocol designed to easily enable the search of Ethereum data through simple queries.

It's very hard to find specified data on Ethereum, especially for developers. As Vitalik Buterin once said of the Graph in 2023, "You could get this [information] from Ethereum, but even today, getting it from Ethereum is not very efficient. Even today, people are switching to the Graph."

#15 CumRocket - Better Than Bitcoin

I think it’s time for Cum Rocket to go to the moon. It was 0.27 USD last cycle, and now it's less than 2 cents. Shame. Disgrace! Here's why CumRocket works:

• Has actual use for tipping camwhores (think crypto OnlyFans)

• Has huge meme potential because of its outrageous name

• Sex sells in this degenerate society.

Final Thought

That's what I got.

Crypto has a future because, in this increasingly digital environment, everything will move to cyberspace. While I believe Bitcoin and Ethereum still have room to grow, these relatively undiscovered low caps will make new millionaires.

Let me know if you want a regular weekly segment of my 99Bitcoin findings. I can make that a Substack-exclusive if you guys like.

Or maybe this is too esoteric? Let me know in the comments.
