Which altcoin are you betting on to hit a $1B market cap before the year ends? The competition's heating up—some are saying Layer 2 tokens, others are eyeing emerging DeFi protocols. What's your take?

DEFI-4,46%

Layer 2 has already been hot before; it's too risky to chase now. I prefer those small DeFi projects that are quietly developing, as they are more likely to suddenly surge as dark horses.

Honestly, this wave of Layer2 feels already overhyped. It's better to focus on those small and innovative DeFi newcomers, which might have more potential.

Honestly, Layer2 has been overhyped for a long time. I'm actually more optimistic about those unnoticed small DeFi projects.

Layer 2 has long been overhyped. I'm actually optimistic about some niche DeFi opportunities, even though the risks are huge, but the potential gains... Hehe

Honestly, the Layer 2 hype has been a bit overhyped. I believe that the wild DeFi protocols actually have a better chance.

L2 has been overhyped for a while. I'm optimistic about a niche DeFi project that no one is paying attention to yet.

actually, if we examine the $1B thesis through basic game theory—the market's already pricing in like half the layer 2 narrative ngl. the real alpha sits where nobody's looking... emerging defi protocols rn are basically the "build it and they will come" phase, but empirically speaking? most crater before hitting meaningful tvl.

Honestly, the L2 tokens have already become numb from the competition, and there's not much room for gas fee optimization. It's actually the DeFi protocols that haven't been discovered by the mainstream yet that have the real arbitrage opportunities.
