Disclaimer: Nothing said here is financial advice. Do not buy or sell anything because I like it, buy it or sell it. These are only my opinions and all of these may lose 100% of their value. You should assume I may own some or all of the NFTs listed.
These are the 5 NFTs I think likely to still be around in 5 years. It does not mean they will have the best or good ROI.
1. CryptoPunks
Floor Price: 65.3 ETH
The first 10,000 NFT profile picture project
Currently owned by Yuga Labs, originally created by Larva Labs
Initial mint price free
Strengths
First 10k PFP
Highest priced sales
Lower execution risk as punks value does not come from future promises
Risks
Commercial rights given to holders (could suffer brand dilution through licensing deals)
Any changes made to collection or sub collections could negatively impact brand
2. Budweiser Heritage Cans
Floor Price: 0.288
Supply: 1907
One of the first large companies to issue an NFT
Strengths
Low price, low supply, large company $120 Billion Budweiser
Brand is continuing to add value while learning
Long run as NFTs evolve large brands may provide extreme value
0% creator fee
Risks
Team is still learning
Budweiser could discontinue efforts to add value
Could simply get lost in the sea of other corporate NFTs
3. ENS Domains
Unlike other NFTs this directly mirrors dot com domains and is a way to have identity for your ETH wallet
Supply is basically unlimited
Currently 3 digit numbers are the hottest
Choosing the right name can be very valuable choosing the wrong will be very poor financial ROI
Strengths
Could be dot com domains of crypto
3 digits are gaining and holding value
Risks
ETH could lose traction
Momentum could change and value could go to zero
4. Early Beeple Artworks
BEEPLE - THE 5000 DAYS COLLECTION: Floor 47 ETH
BEEPLE: EVERYDAYS - THE 2020 COLLECTION: 18ETH Floor
Many other examples of early Beeple work
Top 5 most valuable living artists
No execution risk because it is art
Strengths
Beeple great promoter of work
Deeply integrated into NFT space
Risks
Large supply of art that has not been turned into NFTs as he creates a piece of art every day. If these are all turned into NFTs it could flood supply and hurt current value
10% creator fee
5. Curio Cards
Floor price: 0.24ETH
31 unique graphics each with varying edition sizes of NFTs. The smallest edition has 111 NFT of said artwork and largest has over 2,000 NFTs
Pre-dates cryptopunks as one of the earliest NFT art collections
Strengths
Early art collection
Low entry price
Limited to no execution risk
1% creator fee
Risks
Being early doesn’t necessarily equate to value
Loses narrative and relevance
Conclusion
The common theme here is limiting execution risk.
None of the above NFTs “need” to execute further to enhance their value.
The NFT with the largest execution risk is likely Budweiser. Despite execution risk, Budweiser has enough upside to make the list due to low supply and a large company supporting the project.
Any NFT listed here may lose 100% of its value not financial advice
As always these are just my opinions, never buy or sell anything because I like it.

Great list Josh.
You may want to check out Decentraweb. It's like ENS, but instead of buying a second-level domain (josh.eth), you buy the top-level domain (.josh)
Why buy a .eth when you can be the .eth?
Interesting choices, thanks for your perspective 👊🏽
