If you had to choose one, would it be Ape or Sand ?
Both shitcoins for sure, there is no doubt in my mind that both of them are shitcoins and nothing in the world could make me buy them. I know that there are some people who buy with the trends and when something is trending and hyped, they end up buying it because they believe that its important to ride the wave instead of looking at the fundamentals and fundamentals are what makes something work.
But, I have to say its clear that we shouldn't really be worried about such things because trends come and go, whereas fundamentals are solid for decades. Bitcoin and Ethereum are two of the biggest guns in crypto and their blockchains are great and solid too, so when there is a chance, you could invest to those two, why pick something else?
I am not against investing in altcoins but I will agree with you in this case. Given what's happened in the market, I think it's best to stay away from all altcoins for the time being, no matter how potential that altcoin is. Right now, everything is uncertain and could fall further at any time, so don't trade too much risk for some profit. Remember that as long as the market is still there will be opportunities, so do not rush to invest when the opportunity is not clear. Let's focus on bitcoin, and keep your money before making profit.
