Bitcoin Forum

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?

If you're going for high cap coins only, I'd just invest in bitcoin.

For low cap, you could make a few tiny picks of things that seem good and see if you're any good at working out what might grow (but don't put too much into it).

Everyone's heard about bitcoin, a lot get hyped about ethereum around points like these (so not a good time to buy now - especially since the staking stuff).

Personally I would only invest in Bitcoin for the long term, ethereum is not doing badly at all, so it could also be put into consideration, thus I can't really recommend any coins other than this two, and tbh, If you really want a long term investment, then you should be looking no further than these two. There may be a few other coins out there that people are beginning to trust, but it's still going to carry a lot of risk for you, especially as you intend holding for the long period cause you could accrue profits with them and not take it, while the coin goes ahead to dump and never rises again, but as far as Bitcoin is concerned you can be rest assured that even if it plunges, it'll definitely rise back again.

Having said that, mind you that when you make this sort of enquires, users would obviously suggest to you coins that they are holding, prolly in a bid to promote/hype it, but it doesn't mean it's your best option, so even if you're seeking other coins (besides Bitcoin & eth), make sure you do your own research, and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

It's caused by chainlink was a token that didn't have utility usage while these days people are seeing utility as the main thing that must owned by what they called that as a legit tokens.


All of legit coins that have unique innovation and utility usage gonna be blossoming in the future. Hype gonna to happen for short and long term. As you can see that if matic and solana are very useful to be used for the dapps. That's why both are getting hyped this time. People will be leaving the old coin that can't follow the trend in the crypto as well. Im diversify all of my money into the defi, dapps, metaverse and protocol coin.
That's gonna be huge once market will be facing the next bullish trend.

Most coins are probably hot and overpriced right now and will have a time to cooldown. I wouldn't exactly say these two are crap coins since they do have a good ecosystem if we put chain centralization issues aside and a great community of users.

Look into Metaverse if you are planning to add one or two tokens in your port for long term storage. This market could be bigger in four years.

We're talking about the same project haha. That's NEAR Protocol. It's an L1 protocol but it does a lot more than the regular L1 networks like Solana and AVAX. The only thing is that it doesn't get hyped much but NEAR has all it takes to break into the top 10 and even top 5 if I'm going to be honest. Here's why I find NEAR super interesting:

- L1 network: lightening fast transactions with one of the cheapest fees you'd see in crypto.
- Sharding (currently 4 shards are live on Mainnet with more in 2022).
- Tons of projects building on Mainnet and Aurora (NEAR's L2 network) from defi, to NFTs to gaming..
- centered around a supportive community.

SOL & MATIC both have use cases in the market. But you need to keep up with their updates if indeed users and developers will be utilizing their respective networks. In my opinion, BNB is one good alt to hold as it is backed by top crypto exchange as well as they have many services now. So for me, their lifespan here in crypto market is somewhat promising than most alts.

My first choice is AVAX. I have been adding since around 62 and the daily transactions are now 75% of ETH.  The network is cheaper to use from a gas fee perspective and its also much faster. The subnet within the AVAX chain is one of the best around and easily can support the development of almost any type of application. I have moved almost all my investment away from BTC and ETH at this point as I think AVAX is going to have a much better 2022 than either of the big two.

Others I am holding into 2022 are ALGO, DPR, HNT, and PLANETS.  All have tremendous upside if they can execute their roadmaps.

I'm not sure but for me, I consider them investing in the short term as these projects seem worth it. But if we look for the long-term, better to stick on BTC and ETH, or just to add BNB on your list as these coins are really proven to be promising.

I have some Solana (only) for the try but I don't hesitate to sell them anytime once their performance isn't good. I was considering them my new investment but for now, it seems working and to profit. However, it was the question of whether this will commence long-term or just end shortly.

Everyone has each definition of "legit" so maybe you can elaborate what do you mean by it. There are people who consider a specific coin as good to them but not to others. Try to find your set of factors.

To give a few of my best coins to consider, try adding BNB to your portfolio where what would be the reason should be obvious.


They become hype but it does make sense because these coins have fundamental use-case, unlike those other coins that just got hyped because of price speculation. However, no one knows what will happen in the future therefore we can't conclude everything if the same hype will happen again.

You really need to take action in order to see the actual result of your plan. Risky as it is but that's how investing in crypto works.

Every new coin that is coming up needs to create a hype so without saying, it is always going to be a crap coin in the end. Without the hype they would never get any social media or new media attention.

Bitcoin only. Bitcoin is still in its early phase and it is still cheap than what it can possibly priced in fiat currency when the minting of new bitcoins officially ends.

Just consider asking this same question back in 2010 and the answer would have been same, and you would have bought bitcoin in a large amount - how much possible profit would you have today if you did not sell all this while?

Many projects are having a vision, but majority lack an intrinsic market making capability, a method to spend the coins but not selling them on exchanges, like a natural burn method which can drive a demand for buying and that can grow the price organically. Not being able to spend your tokens anywhere leads to an exchange stagnation.

Beside Bitcoin and Ethereum, it will be better to hold BNB as well. I have a good confident that this coin, based on its widely used by a lot project, that in the next few years, BNB will soar in price in the range that we might didnt imagine today.

Apart from investing with BTC, ETH, BNB for now, I have personally put quite a bit of my capital into the Solana coin as I firmly believe the Solana hype will continue as their project development team seems to be continuously updating the Solana Ecosystem, so it will encourage investors' interest in keep investing with SOL coins.

I will go with MANA and DOT this coins does not have high cap compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum I would also consider investing to BNB as for now many projects are in partner with the BSC. Of course we are going to tell you to do your own research since it is your investment you wouldn't just pick a random coins that was just recommend on a forum then invest on it.

Some exchange tokens, I think they're good for long term but not all of those exchange tokens are good to invest with. I'm talking about BNB, FTX and crypto.com. Those are just the examples of it but that doesn't mean that you should invest in all of them, you still need to make your own research about them.

I don't think so, if they're part of the coins that you're considering. I think it's good to put some money there.

No one can predict what will hyped in the future, we can only ride the waves. I would say that while Bitcoin is still having it's ups and down and the market is constantly in the red, then I'd suggest investing any in the top 100 altcoins. They've proven themselves to be worth investing and they almost certainly follow the movement of Bitcoin upwards.

BNB would be my first choice though. Fast chain, cheap fee, owned by one of the best exchange in the world, there's no reason not to hold BNB at this point. Not to mention BNB gives reasonable staking reward aside from its potential to increase its price in the future.

Just because the projects are not as big as Ethereum or Bitcoin it doesn't mean that they are not legit, of course when there is a bear market coming then small cap and newer projects usually always suffer a lot more than BTC or ETH or the other big ones. Still i would not invest into ETH or BTC at the moment because i always have a problem to invest into a project where other people already made a x1000 with it or in the case of bitcoin even more. I just think that the room for another x10 or so is just not there anymore. I think another project that is legit and could become as big as Solana and Cardano and so on could be Radix. The mainnet is already running and there are already other projects running that are developing apps and dexes on Radix.

MATIC and SOL are very good I think for the future, the coin network that is currently popular is certainly very likely in the future to be much better, especially now that the community is large.
apart from that for long-term investments other than Bitcoin and ETH I think BNB is a very good choice, there is no doubting the current BNB whose price is increasing from time to time as well as all possibilities in the future which are very likely to increase in price.

I think everyone almost mentions some good coins to invest for long term, ADA will be one I guess.

So it's mostly on the top 10-20 coins, solid and has the reputation already and most of them have been in crypto space for years, established themselves that's why they are on top.

And I guess it really depends on your definition of long term, if we enter a bear market, then it will be long 3 years again so that the right time to fill our bags again.

Besides those two coins i think BNB also worth as long Term investment and i was tempting too for Polygon and Solana because in my view these coins very potential to grow in the future

There are actually many coins that you can invest in in the long run. My recommendations are BNB, SOL, polygon. These 3 coins are excellent network-based projects to invest in for the long term without hesitation with their potential, all three are already proving that they are great.

The alternative I'm looking for in altcoins for the long term is Solana, because I see Solana could be profitable if we hold it long term. It's also based on the progress that 2021 has been very good, so far after following some of the projects they've launched I've pocketed a few bucks. Don't take this as your investment advice, it all depends on how you do your research.

Simple answer, i will always look at BNB, maybe short-mid term i will look at Safepal, or a coin which used as network, still worth to look i think. There are a lot of coin which have fundamental value to look, but maybe i will stay with BNB if the option is beside ETH and BTC.

BTC is the first, ETH is the second, BNB is the third, and the next can be SOL, Matic, DOT, or other. All coins still search their position and try to compete to have a better place in the market. While the market is not good, all coins are still trying to increase, although it is hard because their movement will depend on bitcoin moves. We can see only which coin can rise higher after bitcoin start to move and reach the last ATH. However, some altcoins can move in other directions and not follow the bitcoin movement and it is hard to find that.

What is certain is that BTC and ETH are prioritized because they will certainly provide good and satisfying profits in the long term.

and besides that, I think BNB, SOL ADA, XLM and XRP because they have a rating and also have a large capacity and can still be trusted for the long term.
actually there are many coins that are good for the long term it all depends on the analysis and belief of each.

I do not have one in mind actually.
Are there still any good coins in the long-term that are worth the hold? Feels like they left off the top 10 anyways whatever those coins are with the exception of stablecoins of course.
I would still hold for Bitcoin. If there was worth holding in the long-term, I could have bought that as well along with ETH.

Bitcoin and Ethereum is the most popular and valuable coin market. Since 2013-2016 Bitcoin and ETH price was too low but this year these price very increase. For me, besides BTC and ETH i would like to invest BNB coin in long term.BNB is most popular coin after ETH and BTC.I Think, you will get a good profit from your long term holding in BNB coin.

in addition to BTC and ETH coins that I invest in the long term are binance, solana, polka-dot and matic, in my opinion these altcoins have very good potential and prospects in the future, so I am very sure if these altcoins have the same opportunities as bitcoin and ethereum ,

Smart contract projects are reliable for long term hold no matter the situation of the market, they are very useful for new projects so there will always be demand for them, Matic, polkadot avalanche, Luna and others are now performing very high compare to other coins in crypto space

I think that I would focus on young and promising projects, with a strong team focused on the implementation of the idea and not on making money! For example, Near, token of blockchain that allows developers to easily build applications on it. Capitalization is small if the brother is to the attention of the idea and team and prospects. Or, for example, Flow, one of the top projects in the NTF segment, which is actively developing

I would say that holding ETH is still a valid option and I would put BNB and LTC there as well. They are probably the most trustworthy four horsemen of the crypto world right now. I am not saying that they are the only ones, obviously there are other coins that you could invest, but for people who do not trust any coin at all, these four are the most important and known ones if you ask me.

Something like 50% bitcoin, 25% ETH, 15% BNB and 10% LTC would build a great portfolio for anyone who is starting newly or anyone who doesn't want to risk their money with other coins. I of course invest into other things as well but I am taking that risk, you do not have to do that, just these four would be enough.

MATIC and SOLANA will be good in the future and I’m confident about it so you can invest on that as well and have a great holdings. You can also look for good Metaverse token, like GALA and AXS, they are still cheap for me and I know their potential to rise is very huge so better to take advantage with the price now.

I was kind of thinking LTC back in the days along with Doge, but I was stalled a lot by my non-crypto activities. I ended up throwing most of my money to BTC and a few for ETH. I sold most of my ETH though and now I am just holding Bitcoin, not that I mind about it anyway.

The 4 coins you mentioned are not only very good for long-term investments, but it is a good choice for a newbie who is less knowledgeable about
the crypto world. Because BTC, ETH, BNB and LTC are indeed very safe coins for investment, the four coins have a fairly high demand, and is also
listed on many popular exchanges. So indeed the risk of investing in the 4 coins is not too big. But that doesn't mean it's easy to make a profit from
the 4 coins you mentioned, it takes good emotional control to be successful. Because the volatile crypto market sometimes makes the movement of
coins difficult to predict, so it takes patience and not to panic when the market moves in the direction we don't expect. No matter how good the coins
we choose for investment, the price will drop quite deep as well. That's the importance of good emotional control, so that we can be patient with
any situation and not make the wrong decisions.

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.

Besides Bitcoin and also Ethereum, some coins that I really want to hold for a long term are probably:
- BNB (Binance coin with its special features, networks, and also use cases)
- TKO ( quite similar with BNB but this is cheaper price, but right now the price is still down enough)
- Sandbox ( this may be for the next era related to the Metaverse.
Well, but I will buy them when the market has been in the real bearish market so that I can get the very cheap prices of them and make them as a long term until at least the next bullish period in 2025 or more.

For now, I am not thinking about holding coins for a long tern, I am only holding coins to reach my own target to the bullish season and I expect it will happen in 2022.
And after the bullish era has ended and turns into bearish era, I will  start again putting my money in coins for long term holding.
They are of course, Bitcoin
And if you are asking about other coins, well, I exactly will focus on two others, they are Ethereum and also BNB. I am sure that ETH and BNB are two coins that are very valuable to hold for a long-term investment.

And about the other altcoins, well, I think that I must see for a Metaverse projects, but not for now, I ma looking at the chance of how the Metaverse projects will e next year in order to consider whether they are exactly valuable and promising for long term investment or not.

In addition to Bitcoin and ethereum then there are so many other potential coins that we can rely on, matic and solana are very good coins for us to invest in the future because for now the coins are in the development of their respective networks so that they are currently increasingly interested by many investors then later the price will definitely increase, and we also need to pay attention to other coins such as BNB and polka dots that are currently also very suitable for us to invest.

Probably ADA and SOL.

Just in case ETH was actually replaced by some of the newer protocols, which I think is extremely unlikely, it is always good to have some backup plans that are ready to fire.

You could also keep a small portion of your funds in meme tokens just in case one of them goes off, but that is very risky.

I have some Near protocol for myself and my wife, and mine has been staked to avoid selling off like I sold my ETH, Matic and some other good coins at their early stage. Near protocol is actually a layer1 blockchain with about 100k/TPs, so it's highly scalable, it my as well have an impactful growth like Solana. Should I see a bear market, I will accumulate more.

Bitcoin is always the peoples choice of investment, without a doubt. To invest in bitcoin requires a whole lot of fortune to see profits due to bitcoin price. Is always a matter of investing hugely in bitcoin, why not invest in other top altcoins by diversifying your investment strategy. So many individuals are making a whole lot of profits than a single bitcoin investment.
Ethereum is not a hyped coin as proclaimed by you. There's every tendency it will hit $10k before the end of next year

These things ( I mean deciding on coins to hodl) are really subjective by my calculations. Most people seem to emphazisi hodling Bitcoin like there aren't others who aren't hodling a single unit of it. I've a friend who feels Bitcoin is overrated and thus doesn't hodl any. A few hours ago, the friend shared with me a post by someone else which I'm quoting here, “Don't be emotionally attached with any of the tokens...If you must fall in love, then in my opinion fall in love with Ethereum, Bitcoin and ADA.” In my response, I told him I only hodl Bitcoin and didn't care about the others in that post.

It's the same way that what one calls a credible crypto today may be a shitcoin tomorrow; not necessarily because it has a bad team or product but because a lot of people tend to judge tokens from price level and not workability and utility. For a long time now, I've been hugged on a virtually unknown coin called Cartesi. It's a crypto I know will do extremely well.

Besides, we can still make fortune for the other coins like BNB and the rest of the top 10 coins in the market. Aside from buying and holding BTC and ETH, I'll do buy some of the known altcoins. Of course, they'll take a small share of investment as the big chunk had planned for Bitcoin.
I keep 5-6 different coins but it can be more once I have more funds. And the reason why I had spread in those numbers is to make sure that I still have the chance to recover if one or two of them are at loss, I could still make gains in the other.

Besides bitcoin and ethereum, I find polkadot, Ada, Mina to be good for long term investment. This is just a random pick. Apart from these coins, top 100 on the coinmarketcap is good for long term investment. Because, to be on the top order isn't an easy thing. There were few hyped meme coins, but I prefer holding small volume of those coins. There were more potential coins in the market, identifying the best is a very difficult. Very few get lucky to invest and make big profit out of it. Recently saw few project launch, almost every coin grew 10x once it went on trading.

But can you actually monitor such a big portfolio in an effective way? I say this because you are talking at minimum of having more than 50 coins in your portfolio, unless you are completely dedicated to investing and trading cryptocurrencies it is impossible to dedicate enough time to each one of those coins so you will know everything there is to know about them, so I think it is way better to have a smaller portfolio that you can monitor more easily to avoid unexpected losses.

Of course, BTC, ETH, and BNB are the first top investment. Besides, So far, I am investing in TKO. I know that this is a high risk, but I also see the use case of this token. So far, the price has dropped down very much, but no problem. This is my risk that I must take and Ima still holding them for long term.

Actually, I am willing to take some Metaverse tokens because there are some probabilities that next year will be the year of Metaverse. But still looking forward to the right token or coin to have,
Investment for the long term needs good and strong fundamentals and also teams. This is risky, but once it is potential and successful, we may be good at it

No coin that is not potential, what we want is the good project of the coin only, other coins is good to buy, the solana took long before the coin started doing good, the same time it took before it started developing well is the same thing any other coins will also, see banana was doing with good project but is not doing good again

DOGE and XMR.

Doge will live on because memes will live on. XMR will also have its place in the future because people will always use drugs or make some other shady shit and XMR will always their #1 choice. Besides those, I don't really see any coins staying in the long term.

LTC will probably be around too but I wouldn't bet on this too much.

In choosing a cryptocurrency for long-term investment, it's a good idea to look at projects that are
done. It concerns the fundamentals of the crypto coin. However, you can consider assets
crypto with a relatively large market capitalization value as an investment option.
