Bitcoin is the best investment, possibly in the world as a full package. It bests inflation, it is receiving increasing adoption, it has 15 years of proven track record. It might not be the most profitable now though because we see somewhat diminishing returns but I prefer a safer, more guaranteed 4 or 5 x profit every 5-10 years than gambling on some shitcoin which may yield much higher returns but is far from guaranteed.
I agree with you regarding Bitcoin. but nowadays there are quite a lot of beginners who are not very patient with Bitcoin. that's what makes them perhaps more interested in taking the risk of investing in altcoins or shitcoins.
The thinking that is developing among beginners is a short investment to get rich quickly with crypto. This wrong understanding is what makes beginners who don't understand how crypto develops and works make mistakes in investing.
every beginner starts with Bitcoin. Don't be easily tempted by the lure of short-term profits. no investment makes people rich in a short time. all require patience and perseverance.
