Hypothetical time. The bull run's over, everything is bleeding, and you have to put your entire altcoin bag into a single coin to hold for the next 2-3 years of crypto winter.
Bitcoin and Ethereum are off the table. It has to be an alt.
What project has the tech, the team, and the community to actually survive and come back stronger? Which coin are you betting on when all the hype and tourist money disappears?
Don't just shill your bag. Defend your choice. Why will it live while others die?
It's definitely hard to answer though, because:
#1 - every bear market is different, just like in the previous bull run, when games was the trend, but today it's no longer what investors wanted
#2 - only prime mover coins will still remain like Ethereum, but you said it's off the table
Yes, there are several projects before that was really the biggest during their shilling days. But now, it's totally down and dead and no one remembers them and maybe those who are late might have regret their decisions.
