I pulled up a chart from 2019, and looking at it today still feels quite interesting. Honestly, in the crypto world, choosing the right project is much more important than just working hard. If you pick the wrong direction, no matter how much effort you put in, it’s all in vain.
Over the years, I’ve seen quite a few coins perform well. DOGE went from a joke currency to skyrocketing by hundreds of times, and TRX is not far behind. There’s also XRP, which didn’t surge as wildly but still multiplied several times. But the problem is—what about most coins? They’ve disappeared. Just vanished from the historical records. It’s said that 99.9% of coins didn’t even outperform BTC. That number sounds a bit exaggerated, but it’s not far from the truth.
Now, suppose you have $100,000 USD, and you can really hold onto it for 5-10 years. How would you choose? Which coins are worth betting on for the next cycle? This is a question worth considering carefully. Let’s see how everyone plans to approach it.

Basically, it's a gamble with your life. Choose right and you get rich overnight; choose wrong and you fall into poverty overnight.
Honestly, I believe that 99.9% of coins will disappear; I've seen too many projects go to zero.
Putting 100,000 in for 5-10 years? I'd rather stick to betting on BTC, it's safer.
It's a pity I didn't put all my assets into DOGE back then; now I can only watch the next wave take off.
Everyone talks about going all-in on new tokens, but I think this isn't investing—it's gambling.

Basically, it's just gambling on luck, with no scientific basis for choices.
Come on, who could have predicted that DOGE surge? Looking at the 2019 charts now, it's all tears.
$100,000 invested for 5 years? I might as well go all in on BTC and be done with it; everything else is just betting on the next Elon Musk.
By the way, how many people have lost everything on those vanished coins...
Honestly, I'm even tired of looking at new coins now; it all feels like the same routine.
But you asked a good question, I haven't really thought it through yet.

That's so true, this is the difference in gambling mentality. I damn well am that 99.9% who chose wrong, haha.
Choice indeed outweighs effort, but the problem is who the hell can know in advance.
$100,000 in five years? I'd rather go all in on BTC to avoid the hassle.
That wave of DOGE I watched as a joke coin rise, and it actually made money... heartbreaking.
The most ironic thing about historical charts is that the coins we thought would definitely become popular back then are now gone.
