In my opinion, some new projects such as the near protocol look serious and campaign massively, a good opportunity for investment because the near protocol is supported by a solid team and has a strong reputation in cryptocurrencies, besides the near protocol I suggest for investment ethw, many experts believe that ETHW will skyrocket and shine.
I doubt that the new forked ETH will ever become that famous after the merge, it was just temporary fame that drive its value, eventually it will lose its value once eth merge isn't a thing anymore and it's already showing its value that couldn't be retained. I think investing in matic significantly better than these forked ETH honestly.
