I am not talking about crap coins or coins "du jour" that are hyped today but seem to fade as time goes on like chainlink seems to have done. So what legit coins do you see blossoming in the future long term? i am interested in investing in them. ill add another question on top of this one, is matic and solana hype coins today that hot today but not tommorow?
I do not trust in any other coin than those two to invest for the long term, and even then it could be even argued if it is a good idea to invest in ethereum for such a long time, the truth is that it does not matter how amazing a project could look, we know that one day it could be one of the hottest projects in the market and then after a few months it crashes and it never recovers, as it is replaced by a new project while those developers make the same promises that the developers of the coin that crashed made, now if you want to invest in those coins for the short term then things change, but when it comes to the long term only trust BTC and if you want to take a risk then you can trust ETH as well.
Bitcoin and ethereum will always be both profitable as investments. So its not surprising that most of the investors prefer them over other new coins. But i'm not closing doors for other coins as even if they are in dump these days, it will always have chances that they will also grow their value in the future as long as they have that potentials to last long in crypto market. But still, always include bitcoin and ethereum on top of the list.
