I am 19 years old Korean. I am little sad because of people's mind here. I think Korea is an advanced country and I think Korea has a higher perception of cryptocurrency than other countries. However, I think Korea is investing(I think almost speculating) more in altcoins (Dogecoin, Ripple, EOS, Quantum, Solana, etc) than Bitcoin. Their investment is around $50,000 (average Korean adult income per year). I don't understand why they spend all their investments on trashy altcoins with the money they can get from saving a year without spending a penny. $50,000 is money that adult men have to save for over 10 years in most countries except developed countries. If Korea focuses more on bitcoin investment, I think there will be a lot of new rich people in 10 years. What do you think? Koreans don't buy bitcoin, thinking there's no difference between bitcoin and altcoins.
First of all, you are just 19 years of age and you are questioning their way of investment. We don't know exactly what the reason why they prefer to invest in altcoins and there is a reason behind that. Investing in Bitcoin is safest way to invest but the profit potential is a little bit lower compare to altcoins. Altcoins is a risky type of investment because of their volatility but the potential gain is so high and that's what I think why people in your Country prefer altcoins. By the way, if you do a screening, doing a deep research about a coin, investing in them really worth it.
