Well, you are considering coins that have been on the market for a long time and have shown themselves in many ways, I would like to hear about new coins that have just entered or are about to enter the market
Me too.
Imo there are only two sectors with high demand for crypto, and that's GameFi and DeFi.
GameFi, cos gamers are consumers. A gamer plays games as he eats food, games are addicting. I'm not saying that in a bad sense, I mean humans like to play games all their life, no matter the age. There's no demand for crypto in a bearmarket when all money leave risk-on assets. But you NEED crypto to play games in the GameFi sector. Bearmarket or bullmarket - you NEED to buy those tokens.
(But, imo, avoid investing in the tokens of a single game. Invest in projects that make the GameFi ecosystem stronger, don't invest in singular games)DeFi, cos, actually, that's the place to go if you want your money to work for you. Bearmarket or bullmarket - you NEED your money to work for you, if you want to keep your wealth. Although, DeFi has noticeably weaker demand in a bearmarket than GameFi, but it still has much demand... unlike Cardano e.g. and many others.
Because, tell me, what the hell do you need ADA for? Who buys ADA? You don't even have DEXs on Cardano! Invest and speculate all you can. But investing in a coin that has no demand and usecases that are popular enough is just like participating in a ponzy - you invest, hoping to get your hands on other investors' money and be the first to sell.
Cardano - ponzy for speculators
Shib - ponzy for speculators
APE - same thing
At least SOL has everything - it has some of the most advanced DEXs, supports much GameFi, has the most promising NFT platforms... So you NEED SOL for those transactions.
Same for MATIC
Same for Cosmos, you know, you NEED it to do stuff
Same for LINK
But TRON? Really? What can you do on TRON better than other places? Why? "On the face of it, there isn’t much that separates TRON from its competitors." - that's a popular statement in mass media reviews about TRON, and it's damn true. Good luck investing and hoping for returns.
Sandbox is narrow. It's a niche in a sector. It will never be important for the ecosystem, it will only be important for its own cause. Yeah, I respect its usecases. But they won't make ripples outside the boundaries of its own world.
So SAND, TRON, ADA, SHIB, APE - I would remove them from that list. So the 10 become 5.
Personal opinion. Don't follow it blindly.
P.S.
Me, personally, I now hold much more BTC than ETH, I see no future for ETH after PoS is in. I know - that's against the grain... so I must be wrong, right?
I hope I am. But I will invest in BTC and Monero instead of ETH any day. I'll sell all my ZEC the moment they go PoS.
