The following is not financial advice.

Welcome to back The Scoop!

Continuing with our new segment dubbed, "Ones to Watch" where we'll cover interesting coins that look promising, for one reason or another, and give you some quick data on them. Sorted from high to medium to low and even ultra-low caps, 3-5 coins for each category, this should provide some starter info while you're browsing for new stuff to research.

So instead of the usual full analysis on the coin/token, we'll just give a three 'key phrase' rundown on a some picks this month. Enjoy!
