I am a high school student. I learned about Bitcoin, but it's too late. I was so young. Because I was 4 years old in 2009. But as history tells us, bitcoin killer will emerge one day. I want to find out such coin, but I don't have enought knowledge and ability to do that.. I want to ask the smart people here. Is there a coin that is similar to Bitcoin now? something that is perfectly decentralized. I want to invest there. If there's a coin you're making, is fine too. Just let me know.
There is no other coins similar to Bitcoin even in few years later in the future. There is none close to Bitcoin in terms of usefulness, the decentralization and the community around it, other coins would not have stand a chance against Bitcoin.
Also there is no such thing such as late in cryptocurrency you still have a chance to gain profit because you are still young enough to do long-term holding. Because of Bitcoin's nature, you will find yourself getting a profit in the future if you are patient enough with your investment.
They probably claim to be late to bitcoin because they have missed the days in which you could get bitcoin for almost nothing and become a millionaire that way, but those people are just deceiving themselves, even if they actually had the chance to invest in bitcoin as one of the persons involved on this market on the early days explained bitcoin to them, I am sure they would have never invested in bitcoin anyway, as it is easy to think the success of bitcoin was inevitable now that bitcoin is very valuable, but back then it was nowhere near as clear, and even governments disregarded bitcoin as an invention that will not make it far.
