Which of these Altcoins will still be around in 2040?

Coin           Ticker   

Solana   SOL   
BNB           BNB   
XRP           XRP   
Cardano   ADA   
Toncoin   TON   
Avalanche   AVAX   
Polkadot   DOT   
Cosmos   ATOM   
TRON   TRX   
Polygon   MATIC   
Litecoin   LTC   
Dogecoin   DOGE   
Monero   XMR   
Stellar   XLM   
Chainlink   LINK   

From the 2000 Dot Com bubble only some tech companies survived from the thousands of the dot coms that failed to $0. The ones that survived are Google, Amazon and such due to their utility and use cases and finally their mainstream widespread adoption in the worldwide digital infrastructure

Now apply the same exact reasoning for the above altcoins for blockchains:

- Solana is a competitor to ethereum so competition is a risk.
- XRP say they will replace Swift Global banking
- BNB is tied to Binance so if anything happens to Binance then high risk.
- Tron is the eastern Chinese equivalent to the western Ethereum smart contracts correct? So political tension risks.
- Litecoin is seen as silver to Bitcoin gold if there's not enough bitcoins to go around.
- Dogecoin is a meme and I never see memes going out of fashion as long there is internet.
- Monero is privacy and the world will always have criminals and privacy respected people. Monero is the official currency on the dark web. Will the dark web still be around in 2040?
- Stellar is used to avoid expensive blockchain fees and has the fastest blockchain.
- Link claims to be the oracle of blockchains.

Any from above that I missed out on?

What are your reasons for which altcoins from above will still be around in 2040?

Layer 2's are high risk because they can be replaced by faster better Layer 2's or the main Layer 1 chain has upgraded making Layer 2's obsolete.

Only a few or some will survive meaning the remaining 18,000 altcoins will die to $0 flushed out ending up like Terra Luna

I have confidence in a lot of those altcoins but judging by what is backing them, I'm more confidence in BNB since it will be difficult for the biggest exchange in the world to collapse. Apart from that, XMR, LTC, XLM, ATOM, ADA and SOL are great altcoins that will likely not go anywhere by 2040. Some of them are in my priority list of altcoins to buy in addition to Bitcoin which occupies the bulk of my collection.

You're right that only a few of them will remain surviving. 14 years from now, we're sure that there will be a lot of them will die along the process. We'll even see some of them that haven't heard of before will not even survive. That's how the market works, many of these will naturally die and won't be remembered anymore. If there will be a lot of survivals, then that the market is maturing but on the opposite side, that also means that the market is maturing and investors are choosing the side of what to invest.

Can Ripple make Stellar obsolete not needed anymore if Ripple is widespread adopted? I ask because these 2 coins are identical right like bitcoin & bitcoin cash?

ADA is kinda meh and is competing with Ethereum and SOL and SOL is competing with Ethereum. There could be only 1 winner for the western world and for the eastern chinese world is Tron I guess because eastern asian government will not use European American western smart contracts.

ATOM is a layer 2 for Eth?

Yes of course you always get new scam coins or new venture capitalist coins that are newly released around the bitcoin havening so by sheer coincidence it aligns with the crypto bull market. Lots of crypto retail traders got wiped out in this recently finished bull market because there was no altcoin season due to the FTX & Terra Luna scandals that happened in the previous bear market that is still fresh in everybody's minds today. These scandals sealed the fate of all altcoins meaning there will never be a alt season or bull market ever again for altcoins except for reputable established altcoins listed above.

14 years is enough time to completely change your list; 99% of these cryptocurrencies didn't exist 14 years ago.

Monero (XMR) is a strong contender for survival.
XRP and Litecoin are also possibilities.

Here you are making assumption about the future with a present mindset. I find this as arbitrary assumption somehow because you would never know what it will be the form of the market after 14 years, assuming that the altcoins in your favorite list are all backed by a strong project. It's hardly possible that most of them will still be there after a deceny and a half.

Personally I believe in fully decentralized projects like bitcoin and xmr. I would never consider the others as long standing projects unless they update their concept to more decentralization. Some of those untrusted projects are eth and all the tokens developped at top of ethereum.

The side to invest in, will only be for few years that investors would like to choose the altcoins to invest in, since altcoins are meant for short term, not for long term, and within that period, other potential coins would appear in the market to compete and replace the old coins that doesn't have strong marketing and strong community that are not in support of the coins progression

Don't be surprised that all of these coins are going to follow the market just the way it is going now until 2040, few of those projects are going to experience more success in their ecosystem, it will cause the value of the coins to pump more than the current price. The founder of XRP doesn't have the intention of stopping xrp from functioning, so it is the last coin you should expect to go down to zero, fellowed by BNB, Trx, I can not speak about LTC because its value keeps dying.

Among all the coins which you mentioned above, I can’t really tell you that any of those coins will survive the market till 2040. Altcoins are just so difficult to predict, a coin which you have confidence for might be the one that’s going to disappoint you, so I you are planning to make a long term investment, then just go for bitcoin, bitcoin have been in existence for years, and nothing has happened to bitcoin, and bitcoin is still going to continue to grow. Any altcoin can crash at any moment, so don’t be confident in any altcoin.
