But there are altcoins that are no less good if chosen for the long term such as Ethereum and Binance Coin. I think these two types of altcoins are good if used as a long-term choice.
The top five apart from the forked coins on coingecko or so can be considered to be given some importance in the portfolio of the average crypto trader. So I would agree that these two can make a mark and you should own them. I bought ethereum at 350$ and look how much the profit is today. I am not selling right now, but hoping I could stock up more in future if prices comes back down.
Today this seems to be profitable, however tomorrow might be uncertain for a specific altcoin. When I bought this stash of ethereum I was in it for a mid-term selling goal but I was not able to and it did me good anyway.
If I draw a similar conclusion for DOGE, I had thousands of DOGE at one time. I sold them all at the Musk-induced hype and made a good profit - using which I bought bitcoin when Musk stated making bad statements about bitcoin - this was good move from my side, I bought bitcoin at lower using that doge and sold Bitcoin back on 60k USD recently.
So this has been risky moves but ultimately paid off. However I do not recommend moving to the coins being launched new or based on recent game events and so - these will burn you out.
