I rather say "Monero" even if I dislike this coin and the community for various reasons. I need to agree that the Monero role in the wide crypto landscape is quite unique at least for now.

agreed on the importance of monero as a project. what issues do you have with the coin/community?
There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.
I recommend you looking into Ergo. Definetely my favorite. It's everything that crypto should be about.
gonna throw out a nice generic statement.
any PoW chain that...
- had a fair launch
- is actively developed
- is algo dominant
- supports reasonably solid privacy
- is widely accepted as MoE/SoV
is a good option.
bonus points if it...
- is "light" on chain storage requirements
- has reasonable on-chain scaling possibilities
- has a quantum fail-safe
as for specific projects, LTC, BTC, XMR are all interesting because they hit various combinations of the above, with LTC being the most interesting to me.
I am looking for a fiat replacement, not an "investment". I need that replacement to be simple, reliable and absolutely solid.
Monero, nym, namada, oxen, ergo, and ergo
Gridcoin. Imagine is all the computing power normally spent on mining went to scientific research instead. Solid alt started the same year as Eth, crunching through petaFLOPS of scientific computing on the daily. Massively under-appreciated by those in the crypto space.
I have to say PulseChain. Richard Heart is entertaining AF and has been accused of being every bad thing imaginable, but after some fairly long delays did release his copy of the entire Ethereum blockchain.
People were (and are still) able to bridge out their copied assets if they didn't want to stick around (recently this happened with the PEPE copies and he took a big hit on the pPEPE price, when after the initial pPEPE price spike, the OG holders swapped pPEPE back for ePEPE and bridged out), but it's early enough in its life that some of these coins might eventually become meaningfully more valuable. Already some good farms to be a degen on.
Still love ETH and hold rETH and regular old ETH but PLS is fun and exciting at least for now.
Weirdly.... As much as a privacy nut as I am, cirus is my go to thing. But I have semi busted it anyway.... So it's basically free money
I'm still buying Bitcoin Cash and Monero
