@dajbelshaw yea, near is cool. Havent dug much into it or anything though but I've heard of them at least.

I've been meaning to take a closer look at them to compare them to Holochain (which is an ethereum token).

From a mining perspective i wouldnt be surprised if NEAR is a good call right now as new chains are what you want for mining.

But from an investment standpoint I tend to be relatively resistant to new chains and prefer new tokens for the aforementioned reasons that exchanging tokens are trivial and thus going to see greater adoption. New chains arent just harder to exchange but often they arent even supported by hardware wallets.
