I was just looking at the coinmarketcap table since 2013, I was surprised in what I saw, many coins topping the charts then are now almost non-existent, we need to be careful of the kind of coins we hodl especially for long term. Most of these projects just die after the initial hype.
If we look at it since the advent of the altcoin. There are most altcoins that are dead, but there are also high altcoin prices. I think the altcoin that we hold must have influence for the future. Suppose that altcoin creates a blockchain, market, etc.
