We have:
+ NFTs (we know about one user who sold an NFT for $60k that he won for free - a life changing experience)
+ DeFi tokens (liquidity pools, staking, farming are all giving huge returns for small investors)
+ P2E (Play 2 Earn is another way to make money by playing games online and getting tokens or NFTs as rewards, some games have different types of rewards)
The thing about pump and dump/lottery coins and projects is that a few of it's investors would be lucky and prolly make a huge ROI when the coin pumps, I'm afraid it's the lucky few you have outlined here and then generally portrayed this projects as a success, when actually they are not. I know users who want to "get rich quick" tend to make the choice of going for projects like this, but if you want to invest in a project that is sustainable for the long period and would not just dump, making you lose your funds, then just invest in Bitcoin. Investing in pump and dump coins is very risky and it leaves you uncertain, one can categorically state that Bitcoin has a future because of it's real use case, but many of this other projects would not be here in a few years or even months, thus Bitcoin is more or less a worthy investment for the future.
