I reckon the best cryptocoins to buy as long term investments during bear markets might be those exchange utility tokens like FTT and BNB. Exchanges always collect revenue in bull and bear markets and this gives the tokens some fundamental backing. Also, the utility of those tokens in their corresponding exchanges create a demand for them.
Also, choosing a coin or token from this list of institutional portfolios in the cryptospace might be helpful.
I'm a fan of play to earn games and it looks so promising to me, for example H3RO3S... it's the first real-life play-2-earn gaming company that actually cares for its users If you're into PlayToEarn too you're very welcome there
