3 Bitcoin-Like Altcoins That Could Make You Rich

• One of the Bitcoin alternatives to watch in 2024 is Firo, formerly known as Zcoin and aims to provide better trustless and on-chain privacy to its users through the use of Lelantus Spark and Dandelion++.
• The two other altcoins that could make you a millionaire next year are Nexa and QUBIC, with the latter led by Dominik Schiener, the brain behind the $1 billion project IOTA.

Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurrencies and continues to dominate the market, accounting for 52% of the industry’s $1.5 trillion market cap. However, at $39,500, BTC is unlikely to make any massive price leaps, and even if it reclaimed its $68,700 all-time high, it would only gain 73%. For investors who are big believers in proof-of-work as the best consensus mechanism, the best bet to make millions in the 2024 bull run would be on other PoW altcoins, and here are three of the best picks.

Firo

Firo is a proof-of-work blockchain network that launched as Zcoin in 2016, although the privacy-focused zerocoin protocol it’s built on was conceived two years prior by Thai computer science scholar Pormain Insom. In October 2020, it rebranded to Firo, whose native token is FIRO, to signify its new and unique way of burning and redeeming coins.

Firo uses proof-of-work, fused with a unique LLMQ Chainlocks system that doesn’t balances security and privacy, while protecting the network against a 51% attack.

What’s To Like: FIRO is built almost entirely to offer users privacy, a feature that crypto users rank higher than ever in recent years. With the government, hackers and all manner of spyware and malware lurking around, networks that focus on privacy will be worth more than ever.

Additionally, the token is trading $1.88 at press time, and while this is an 11% rise in the past month, it’s still way down from its all-time high. In fact, it’s 99% below the $169.99 high it hit on Christmas in 2017 (and the holidays are here once again so who knows, Santa might have a surprise gift of FIRO holders).

Nexa

If Firo isn’t for you, then Nexa might be your next best bet. This is a proof-of-work blockchain that’s built for scalability, with the team behind it claiming it can handle 10 billion transactions a day.

Unlike Bitcoin, however, Nexa is built to handle native tokens, including NFTs and smart contracts, just like Ethereum. And with instant transactions and wise contracts (wise because they combine “smart” with resource allocation), it deserves more than the $33 million market cap it currently has.

What’s To Like: Nexa, whose native token is NEXA, is building an alternative for PoW maxis that scales and supports tokens. With Ordinals, Bitcoin has proven that the community loves NFTs, they just don’t like non-PoW chains like Ethereum.

Additionally, the project’s team is active in building a network that solves the blockchain trilemma by achieving security, decentralization and scalability.

Solving the ‘Scalability Trilemma’ is the Holy Grail of crypto.

What if we told you that, $NEXA achieves it?

Scalability. Decentralisation. Security.

NEXA currently trades at $0.00001472 and is up by 13% in the past day. Its all-time-high is $ 0.0000435 and it would need to gain 290% to regain this level.

QUBIC

The third coin that could go parabolic and reap millions for its investors in 2024 is QUBIC. It’s the brainchild of Dominik Schiener and is related to IOTA, one of the best-known cryptocurrency and blockchain projects on the market.

What’s To Like: The project is advancing quorum-based computing which ensures that the data oracles collect is true, preventing bad actors from cheating the system. At a time when quantum computing and AI are making 51% attacks a more vivid possibility, projects built with this security in mind will have an edge in 2024 and beyond.
