Actually there are certain periods during bull cycles when altcoins give higher returns than Bitcoin, and it's wise to trade some of your Bitcoin to take advantage of the volatility.
It has appeared in many occasions that we had this kind of experience in the crypto market where some few coins outshines bitcoin just within a little while but many people try to avoid them because of the risk associated with their investment as you could discover that the higher they went will be the same speed they will take while coming down all within a very short period of time, this fear grip many investors whereby they might be thinking of making profits already but all of a sudden burst into losses
But personally, I prefer my sanity over more profit. Hahaha. Plus I'm simply not a good trader. I lose more than I profit, so if people will come to me to ask for investment advice, I'll just tell them what I know = It's Pleb Life, HODL Bitcoin.
The best of all decision is what you just say here lastly, no matter the happenings we should hodl onto bitcoin, we should try to buy the dip and hodl for the particular time coming where selling will come at ease to do without the fear of missing out as being projected by some alts.
