I’ve given up on alts. I’ve held onto alts since the 2021 drop. I sold some for profit but kept AVAX & others hoping to gain some more profit. Only alts I would consider are ETH, LINK, HBAR. I think I’ll just stick with BTC from now on

Haha I feel like I've been saying that for years. Starting to wonder if these projects even consider the token holders. We know LINK is making $.

ETH, XRP, SOL, HBAR.
IMO LINK, AVAX, SUI are decent as well but I am only diversifying so much.

ETH, ADA, SHIB, UNI, SOL, DOGE, XLM, LINK, SUI, GRT, ATOM, OSMO, JUNO
Some of these I’m only holding some of these out of necessity because I’m down so much in them 😅

ETH is probably my highest-conviction alt. Beyond that, I'd look at names with strong ecosystems and actual usage like SOL or LINK. The thesis matters more than the ticker though

Yeah they are toast. Developers have lost interest and migrated. The L1 field is crowded. Price action is horrible, even worse than other competitors. Used to be that LINK and AVAX were closely correlated in price, now LINK is 25% premium to AVAX. There is interest and accumulation happening out there on meaningful crypto, just not AVAX.

I'm mostly focusing on projects that already have users, liquidity, and actual activity rather than chasing the newest narrative.
My highest conviction alts are probably SOL and LINK. Beyond that, I keep an eye on sectors like RWAs, DeFi infrastructure, and stablecoin-related projects. In a market like this, survival and adoption matter more to me than hype.

What bias? The other top coins are literally more in the green.
TRX was ranked 25 five years ago and is now at 8. Some of these projects did not just survive - they moved up, gained market share, or improved their ratio against ETH.
Of the top ten coins I listed, I own seven. I acquired them 6 - 9 years ago because they were already major chains back then. These are not random cherry-picked microcaps.
And to be clear, I do not own DOT, UNI, BCH, LTC, or LINK. Those have performed worse than ETH, but that is not the yardstick I care about. The yardstick is the successful projects, because we all want ETH to be a winner.
Comparing ETH to dead or weaker performers might make ETH look better, but that does not solve the issue. ETH should be competing with the strongest assets in crypto, not finding comfort in the fact that some others did even worse.

SUI, NEXO, LINK, mainly NEXO

I understand your survivorship bias point, but that is not the only valid way to look at it.
Your method asks: “How did the top coins from 5 years ago perform until now?” That is a valid historical analysis.
My post asks: “How has ETH performed over 5 years compared to major assets that still exist, are still highly ranked, and are still relevant today?” That is also a valid analysis.
And by that metric, ETH looks terrible. BTC, BNB, XRP, SOL, TRX, ZEC, and XMR are all green over 5 years, while ETH is substantially in the red. These are not random dead coins I cherry-picked. They existed 5 years ago and are still near the top today.
Yes, adding DOT, UNI, BCH, LTC, and LINK would create a different analysis. But it does not erase my point: ETH has massively underperformed several major crypto assets that survived the same market conditions and are still highly ranked.
For an asset with Ethereum’s importance, adoption, staking, developer base, and mindshare, that is a serious problem.
