Who wins in the long term?

[WatChe]

I just wanted to say that.

I too have never heard of Sonic (S), Plasma (XPL), Sui (SUI), SEI (Sei), or Aptos (APT).

TRX is really the only one that can be considered somewhat old enough to be a little bit trusted, but the rest of those cryptocurrencies? Probably going to crash and burn within the next 1-3 years.

They are not even in the top 20 on Coinmarketcap.

I would stay away from them.

Tron TRX is currently listed at number 8th position on CMC with market cap of 31 billion USD and thats why it can be considered a good option for long term. There are high chances that Tron will give good return in next bull run that will be initiated by Bitcoin. I also have same opinion as you have regarding the coins Sonic (S), Plasma (XPL), Sui (SUI), SEI(Sei) or Aptos(APT). There is endless supply of coins in the market and we need to carefully chose a coins for investment to avoid a loss.

Altcoins is not something you can just predict and plan for long term cause most of them won't last long at all
A coin can look strong and still lose hodlers overtime
I wouldn't recommend planning for a long term hold on an altcoin

Most altcoin won't survive in the long run, but we shouldn't lump them all together. ETH has been around since 2015, while LTC, XRP, and XMR have been around since around 2011-2012, and many other altcoin will continue to survive and grow alongside Bitcoin.

Long term, Bitcoin will always be the best choice. But that doesn't mean no altcoin is worth holding long term either. However, picking the right altcoin is very difficult, and everyone should do their own research and make their own decision. I don't want to give any specific advice, because there's no guarantee when it comes to altcoin.

Now many people makes payment in tron blockchain.
I think that tron blockchain will be popular in long term because it has a lot of users and many people makes payments using tron blockchain.
It is very popular and in demand.
And I think that it will be in demand in the futer too.

Well, out of the altcoins you listed, LTC probably isn’t the best example. Yes, this alt is still hanging in there, but as a long-term investment, it’s a pretty boring asset, since it hasn’t really been eager to follow BTC’s lead over the past few years. Specifically, when BTC was hitting new highs and trading above $125K, LTC didn’t really stand out during that period.

This list looks kind of strange to me, because I was expecting you would include ETH in this your list, I’m not a huge fan of altcoins, which is why if I’m investing in cryptocurrencies for the long term I would go with bitcoin, but if I have money and I want to invest in an altcoin I would rather invest in ETH, but considering that you don’t have ETH in your list, I think I would go with your list which is Tron, I think you have a very tough decision to make judging from your list.

If your horizon is 2030, most altcoins on this list face massive dilution from token unlocks and ecosystem inflation. TRX is the only one here with proven long-term fee generation due to USDT settlement, but it has zero regulatory upside. Sui and Aptos have decent tech, but holding VC-heavy L1s for 4+ years is usually a losing game once unlock schedules dump on retail. Stick to BTC/ETH for 2030, or rotate alts instead of holding them blindly.

That's why ETH should be taken into account, particularly for the long-term altcoin portfolio. But I feel like the decision is based on your desired outcome. Both have their merits and the ETH ecosystem is more developed than TRX's. The first priority, personally, is BTC, then it's a matter of comparing ETH and other alts on a fundamental basis, not on how well they did in the past.

[SanjkaM]

I think that bitcoin is the best asset for long term investments.
Also it is better to check tron and solana assets for investment because many people use such kind of blockhains  and they are very useful and in demand.

Yes, you may be right. Its not just ETH, some other altcoin are still hanging around, but they are no longer attractive investment.

However, I think it's unfair to treat all altcoin as the same. There are still some altcoin and there will be more in the future, that are worth investing in for the long term as the market matures.

We should hope the crypto industry continues to mature and that more worthwhile project emerge, rather than focusing only on Bitcoin and dismissing the rest of the market.

Thinking in a general and broader sense...This topic is timeless; regardless of the moment, it always invites reflection. After all, the present is distinct from the past and certainly from the future. In my opinion, without adoption and genuine usage, neither institutions nor governments will ultimately benefit. Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market were intended to serve as payment methods and alternative financial options; while shifting toward a store-of-value role to compete with gold might lead to victory, it would represent a replacement rather than an improvement.

Consequently, the path we are currently on leads to defeat for everyone, regardless of scale, timing, or the critical turning point.

[Redmanul]

Now the market falls and not many crypto assets will be able to survive during the fall of the market.
That is why it is necessary to invest money for long tirm only in the most stable assets that will be able to survive during the fall of the market.
Only the most stable assets will be able to survive and they are good for long term investments.

@OP has his own reasons why he didn't include Ethereum (ETH) in the list, what we need to do is provide an answer that's as relevant as possible to what @OP asked. IMO, the reason he didn't include Ethereum (ETH) in the list is that the potential for multiplying gains with Ethereum (ETH) isn't as great as it is for the coins or tokens that are on the list.
