We should be mindful of any cryptocurrency we are choosing for a long time investment, some of them will pump high and later dump and this could not serve us the purpose of a long time investment, except on bitcoin that we can have reliability on that when it falls it will still rises at a particular time, this is our confidence we always have in Bitcoin because of it performance consistency.
Luckily some coins like BNB, ETH, SOL, TRX, BGB, GT, MX, made it to ATH in the last bull run, but more than 99% of the old coins did not make it to ATH, ETH almost not made it to ATH. This is the reason I only prefer bitcoin for hodling, most of the coin will increase so massively but also drop massively, losing almost their entirely marketcap. I buy altcoins but in a way that I buy them with small amount of money when their price is low, I sell them when their price increase.
Surprisingly majority of exchange coins are the one that gained so much from bullrun. BNB went from 200 to ATH of 1300, other exchange coins are more or less having the same fate.
HYPE is having the best time of its lifespan, going up despite beairsh outlook from bitcoin that supposedly disrupt the bull but so far haven't caused any effect yet.
ETH is such a lackluster because it failed to breakthrough hence it's pretty bearish even for now, I partly blame it to the downward pressure caused by EF otc deal and capping ETH price, hence why people hesitated to buy ETH.
Even though I was very bullish but I was disappointed, now only holding exchange coins like HYPE, BNB, and others purely to seek profit.
