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.
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.
But, their thinking is not to be the leading, just greediness overflowing.
So, to investors and those who wants to be an investor, be careful by choosing. Study short term and long term investment. It has a big difference.
Any other integration or supplementation from my statement?
I understand that you believe that bitcoin is the only relevant and interesting cryptocurrency for investment? At the time of 2017, definitely Yes. But now the situation is a little different-bitcoin has lost its current position in the market and investments in the same ripple look much more attractive. I would also recommend to pay attention to EOS. Now they show stable growth and long-term investments in this coin may well interest you.
