There have also recently been a slew of hacks, theft, and controversies.
However, there's still a small oasis of quality assets, for now.
Crypto bear markets tend to clarify which coins have actual value and which were largely (or entirely) vapor. But even strong assets suffer; Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is currently worth about half what it was at its October 2025 peak, and many of the convictions I held coming into 2026 haven't survived.
There are only two cryptocurrencies I'm comfortable buying in the current environment. One is built not to change, and the other is built to route real cash flow back to holders. Let's take a look at both, and I'll explain my thinking.

Regardless of whatever price action it may experience, Bitcoin's strength is that only 21 million BTC will ever exist, and the next halving in 2028 will cut its new issuance from mining yet again, constricting its supply and forcing new buyers to compete with each other via higher prices. This is the same story as always. Despite how many times people have predicted that the asset is really finally dead this time, so far it has always made a brisk comeback (eventually).
That isn't to say holders need to enjoy the coin's short-term price movements when they occur. And as a result of new classes of holders buying and holding the coin, its volatility and distribution are today meaningfully different from the past, which could ultimately be a drag on its future returns. Strategy , formerly known as MicroStrategy, now holds 845,256 BTC, around 4% of the asset's total possible supply. Still, most digital asset treasury (DAT) companies that copied the Strategy playbook have paused purchases or begun trimming their positions.
Nonetheless, a fixed supply being drawn from by any persistent buyer pool is enough to bias long-term prices to the upside. For someone with patience, the coin's supply policies will eventually deliver returns. That's why I'll continue to accumulate it.
