And maybe because there are some shitcoins that are tempting, but if you don't do a thorough analysis and don't do it well and don't follow it from the start it will be in vain and very risky.
Come on mate, there are no amounts of researches that can be convincing enough to get involved in shitcoins, they are just there for distractions, Bitcoin has proven to be the best in all ramifications and there is no way we can make any form of comparisons or make it looks like Bitcoin irrespective of the level of researches and analysis. Don't forget that supply has a major role to play in the market, Bitcoin has a limited supply of only 21million, Bitcoin stability and entrepreneurship are far better than any other coins or is it about it's network effects and security Bitcoin are far better than then all, but however as JJG will always say that don't do more than 10% involvement in to shit coins as compared to the size of your Bitcoin investment which is a very nice advice at that. There is no degree of researches and analysis that will make shitcoins involvement any less risky as when compared with Bitcoin.
Even though shitcoins only exist to divert attention, they have given people the opportunity to own Bitcoin by trading Bitcoin altcoin pairs or stable coins so they can buy Bitcoin. However, Bitcoin has proven to be the best compared to altcoins, so Bitcoin is still someone's main investment target.
They can use shitcoins only for smaller portions or for daily trading while they invest in Bitcoin by accumulating it using DCA. They can use the profits from trading altcoin pair Bitcoin or stablecoins to buy Bitcoin. That is one way to own Bitcoin, and it can also be used to carry out the DCA method.
But we have to remember that using shitcoins has a big risk because we don't know which shitcoins can provide profits, even though we can analyze them one by one. Not many shitcoins are able to survive for a long time while Bitcoin has proven to be able to survive for a long time.
I can't agree with you on this, shitcoins are risky to indulge in and I don't see how that is a good and reasonable opportunity to get profit from to invest in bitcoin, this is really gambling and as we know it gambling can be addictive and yeah someone might be delusional thinking that if he invest in shitcoins or trades it he would use the profit to invest in Bitcoin, he might also likely chose to continue in that path of getting quick profits and eventually wreak himself.
I don't know if you were trying to say that if we must indulge in shitcoins that it should be at most 5-10% of our portfolio and this was only suggested for those that can't bear to stay away from shitcoins and at times people can't control themselves and would also want to invest more and more until they may find themselves investing more to shitcoins than even Bitcoin.
I won't be advising anyone who is just starting out his investment journey to be induging in this kind of activities cause it could be a major distraction for him and also wreak him if not careful, a better advice would be stay away from shitcoins and focus on building a solid portfolio with bitcoin and if you hold for long term you could well get even more profits than you could have made from investing or trading shitcoins, although they is no accurate guarantee that it might work out, but least it has a better chance than any shitcoin.
My take on this Is buy when there is a drop in price, hold enough of it , whether Bitcoin or shitcoins, when it comes to crypto space we can't accurately predict the future, some years ago specifically the early days of BTC one will tell you that holding enough of Bitcoin was risky, but that can't be said of it today, as it has gained more values, the same goes to other shut coins buy when there Is a drop in price, hold as many as you can , and maybe later in future you don't know what will happen,
When Investing in shitcoins you just just invest like a life savings in shitcoins, because you can't predict the future of that shitcoins, but a life savings can be invested in BTC given that the future of Bitcoin is already bright, for newbies DCA strategy can maybe be suggested to them, holding coins for a long term really pays on a long run.
Mate, accumulating bitcoin when there is a price drop is not a good idea, and it will delay your bitcoin accumulation plan or make you lose out on owning a bitcoin. You will be waiting for a particular price at which you will want to buy your bitcoin, and if bitcoin does not drop to that price, you will not buy it. The longer you wait for that price, the more time will be against you, and bitcoin will become more expensive to buy. The best thing is to just accumulate bitcoin with the DCA strategy, which will allow you to also buy bitcoin when the price has dropped or dipped.
Why are you advising people to invest in shitcoin, whose future cannot be predicted? With shitcoin, you will lose your money because after investing in shitcoin, the shitcoin can easily be dead, such as at -90% in price, which will make you lose all your money in it.
