Bitcoin was developed by satoshi and most people who uses blockchain knows it. The price/value is fluctuating up and down but still a gem.
Bitcoin is not nearly as volatile as it was couple of years ago. It is maturing quickly and is more or less impervious to manipulations. It's a gem alright.
However, shitcoins are trash, if the developers has a good motive and has a sincere heart and knowledgeable enough by making the coin/token be valuable as bitcoin then they can beat it.
As implied, 'shit'coins are trash. I think you meant to write alts, and if so, there are lots of good alts out there, but BTC is the pioneer digital asset.
But a good motive and a sincere heart is not enough to beat BTC.
A lot of alts are more practical with more use cases.
But BTC is the top in terms of adoption and circulation, and also has the highest value.
It is the safest crypto investment in my opinion.
Any other integration or supplementation from my statement?
I personally avoid any project which is not suitable for long term investments. If the creator does not have future targets and goals, I don't consider it a worthy investment.
A currency which is profitable for the long-term can also be viable as a short-term investment.
