I really do buy to your sentiment here, their is no subtitles to Bitcoin, newbies especially, they think that because alt and shit coin gives better roi, making money out of it is that easy, they don't know that shit coin falls more than they rise, and to me, I sees it as gambling, because they know how dangerous it is and still ventures into it, but with Bitcoin, even though most times the volatility might be crazy, but I believe that your investment is secured if you are a long term investor, because those that will benefit mostly from Bitcoin are the long term thinker.
In fact, many people decide to invest in alt coins or various shit coins to make quick profits. They invest in altcoins and at some point they lose the investment, then they regret it. Investing in altcoins offers quick high profits but high risk. So it is best that you invest in Bitcoin. While not making quick profits in Bitcoin, the risk is very low. I think investing in Bitcoin is not risky. So, don't lose your funds by investing in altcoins hoping to get more profit. You invest in Bitcoin and hold patiently, you will get a lot of profit if you hold for a long time. So, avoid altcoins and invest in Bitcoin.
