- Bitcoin (BTC): The OG of crypto. First mover advantage, most established brand, and the largest market cap make it a solid foundation.
- Ethereum (ETH): More than just a currency, Ethereum's blockchain platform fuels a wide range of applications. It boasts the second-largest market cap and strong growth potential.
- Litecoin (LTC): Often called the "silver to Bitcoin's gold," Litecoin offers faster transaction speeds and lower fees compared to its big brother.
- Less Risky: Their lower volatility means smaller price swings, minimizing potential losses.
- Established Players: Large market caps translate to stability and higher liquidity, making it easier to buy and sell.
- Strong Potential (for some): High total locked value (TVL) indicates active use and possible future growth (applies to coins with staking or DeFi applications).
