Would have been much better off just leaving everything in bitcoin. Altcoins suck.
Nah, I do not think the way you do. There are so many altcoins that I highly regarded as amazingly solid. You cannot just generalize and divide the entire cryptocurrency between Bitcoin and altcoins. Altcoins are composed of so many highly different coins. While many of them really sucks, you simply cannot say that to, say, Ethereum (ETH) or Cardano (ADA), etc.
