🪙💸 "If I were to send you $10,000 to buy one altcoin — which one would you choose? And why?"
Now to the point:
If I had to choose one altcoin to invest $10,000 for the medium/long term, I would choose:
Ethereum ($ETH )
Yes, technically it's not Bitcoin, but it's not the most "alt" either — just the strongest of them.
Why ETH:
1. Stable ecosystem: most DeFi, NFT, DAO, and other projects are built on Ethereum.
2. Scalability: updates (like Dencun and Danksharding) improve speed and reduce fees.
3. Real use cases: it is already actively used, not just "promising."
4. Strong team of developers and community.
5. More regulatory protection than most other altcoins.
If you're looking for something riskier but with greater potential, then:
Solana ($SOL )
Fast, cheap, with a growing ecosystem.
Used in mobile crypto devices (Saga Phone).
Risk: more centralized than ETH and has been vulnerable to outages.
Or:
Chainlink ($LINK )
Oracles: a bridge between the blockchain and the real world.
Used in many DeFi protocols.
Less hype, but more fundamentals.
