Every day we comb through the news, scour the web, and flip through the feeds on our social media pages. We look for the movement on our favorite coin(s) and we search for solid investment opportunities. Of course, the dominant advice we are fed inevitably leads us back to Bitcoin (BTC).

Is it a good time to invest in Bitcoin (BTC)? Is Bitcoin (BTC) ready to move? The Twitter feeds are sure of it. Any day now, Bitcoin (BTC) is going to go through the roof. And if you don’t get in now, your FOMO will leave you waiting for a dip, hoping to join your giddy friends who knew better all along. But when you open your wallet to check the action on your investment, it’s always the same thing. The undisputed king of the cryptoverse has traded sideways again.

To be clear, Bitcoin (BTC) is going to come back. And when it does, it will likely double or triple overnight. But you know what? So will a number of altcoins in that time. The question that leaves most of us scratching our heads is, which ones? And while no one knows for sure which coin(s) will pop, what follows is a short list of three great crypto-choices we should be watching while we wait for the king to come back.

Basic Attention Token (BAT)

The first (And most obvious) on my short list of coins that will double before Bitcoin (BTC) is the Basic Attention Token (BAT). Dominating headlines with its recent inclusion on Coinbase Pro, this utility token has the potential to see massive gains overnight.

Founded by Brendan Eich, the originator of the Firefox browser, the Basic Attention Token (BAT) is the currency behind Brave. The Brave browser employs powerful ad blocking technology, improving the user experience greatly. The best part is, if you chose to see ads, your verifiable engagement can net you a nice payment in BAT.

The recent news of BAT’s inclusion on Coinbase Pro may have created short-term gains for investors in this usable crypto-product, but BAT is an excellent long-term hold as the company gains steam. As the popularity of the Brave browser grows over time, the value of the token is sure to follow.

Skycoin (SKY)

The next great choice for steady gains as we move into the future is Skycoin. Heavily touted by none other than John McAfee, this coin is associated with a new decentralized internet experience. I am including this coin not just based on its performance over the past days (or the obvious pumping John McAfee might offer) but because of its potential for truly freeing the internet from the central control that holds us all back from an honest web experience.

Billed as the most advanced blockchain platform in the world, Skycoin is up over 8% on the day on news of McAfee’s latest tattoo immortalizing his recent involvement with the team (lulz).

Monetha (MTH)

Finally, diving a little deeper down the list of popular coins is Monetha (MTH). Up yet again today, Monetha (MTH) is making big moves before reaching full maturity in 2019.

The Monetha (MTH) platform is designed to help users verify the reputation of a person or institution before transacting with the party. Securely storing verifiable information related to a users behavior, Monetha (MTH) is another company with usable products helping thousands of people make more informed decisions online.

Working it’s way up the list on coinmarketcap.com, Monetha (MTH) is now ranked #391. With a current market cap of just under US $9 Million, it won’t be long before this coin catches fire (again). You can find Monetha (MTH) making consistent gains on Binance.

So while investing (long term) in the Bitcoin (BTC) dream is still an excellent play, we should all be dipping our toes in the warm waters of the altcoin sea while we wait. The three coins presented here might just net you a fortune before Bitcoin (BTC) does.
