🪙 According to a study by Swan analysts, the HODL strategy mainly works for BTC: almost all top altcoins eventually lose up to 90% of their value relative to Bitcoin. For example, QTUM dropped in 17 months, MATIC in 23 months, and ADA and XRP in 36 months.
Even XMR, which lasted 72 months, was described by analysts as an example of "slow agony."
Over the long term, leadership once again remains with the first cryptocurrency.

🪙 Vitalik Buterin proposed a radical upgrade to the Ethereum Virtual Machine — transitioning to the RISC-V architecture. According to him, this could be the key to significantly improving the network’s execution efficiency.
The transition would help address L1 scaling issues, increase miner competition, and enhance support for ZK-EVM, while maintaining compatibility with existing smart contracts — developers would continue coding in Solidity and Vyper.
Well-known venture investor Adam Cochran acknowledged the potential benefits for the main network but questioned the priorities, noting that the transition costs could be too high and the advantages for L2 might be limited.
