The point is that there is absolutely no way to determine what the future buying interest will be in anything 20-30yrs down the road. A hot coin today may be a dog down the road.

No, I didn't utilize an in depth analysis of the coin market and trends. I peeked, didn't like what I saw and that was it. I have other people "invest" my money and I pick them based up the risk I'm will to accept and how long I want to realize a return. Yes, you can make money on coins if you pick "the" right coin. I'll just be curious to see how all these moderns going for high prices in MS70 pan out. Seems odd to me what they command but at least right now there must be a market.
