I can understand Bitcoin acting as some sort of a store of value, but aside from that I’m confused about how to view other coins. Aside from the need to use a blockchains own coin to navigate that chain easily what’s the long term utilization? In my view the goal of all of this is fully decentralized finance for the world. If that happened wouldn’t stablecoins be better for most transactions? So in that scenario could coins become the equivalent of owning shares in a company?

At some point don’t multiple coins competing for newly on boarded fiat just complicate things? It is damn confusing trying to decide what to invest in, but if your first purchase allowed you to explorer multiple chains easily with a token or whatever wouldn’t that benefit everyone? Than after using a chain or certain services and deciding you like it their coins could be purchased more as stock and not something needed for any normal financial purposes. I hope this could also shift some of the complete speculation to more research driven buys.
