In the cryptocurrency world, there are actually not many coins that truly belong to digital assets. In my mind, only a few coins can be considered assets.
One is BTC, one is ETH, one is BNB, and half of one is UNI, because UNI currently has no possibility of earning interest or dividends, but it will definitely have it in the future. As more people engage in spot trading on-chain, UNI will certainly reach the height of BNB. As long as this trend is correct, UNI is the current BNB. I say half because it hasn't realized it yet, but it is highly likely to be achieved.
Other assets that you acquire through staking, farming, or other means of generating interest are actually just subsidies provided by the project team, not real passive income.
BTC can actually generate invisible income, and it is the universal currency in the world of digital assets, which is indisputable.
ETH is an energy-type asset; the activity of the chain cannot be separated from it.
As for BNB, it is a secondary Binance equity, of course, it cannot compare to real Binance equity, but Binance can buy it back when it makes money. Furthermore, Binance, as the largest and most optimal project launcher, basically monopolizes quality projects' IEOs. If you want to participate in an IEO, you must have BNB. You must hold all BNB; as long as Binance is the leader, you can hold it.
Assets are not meant to make you rich but to appreciate in value. Holding these in the short term will certainly not make you rich. However, it is clear that the few I mentioned are the best assets in the cryptocurrency world.
If you buy other coins and you don't understand them, relying on hearsay, luck, or recommendations from others, you will basically lose everything because you are not earning based on your own strength.
Buying BTC, ETH, BNB, and UNI is essentially based on your strength and understanding; you won't complain about their low earnings, only about your own low earnings. You will definitely think, if I could earn a bit more, I could buy a bit more. Earning 10,000 could turn into 30,000 in a bull market. My ability could instantly triple.
Where can you find such an ability to instantly amplify your capabilities threefold? Only in the cryptocurrency world.
If you can treat buying assets like buying a house, then you will definitely profit. Holding these assets, in less than 10 years, your friends around you will basically be far surpassed by you. After all, how could individual effort outrun the trend of the times?
