You know most of these newbies investors don't really know much when it comes to bitcoin and altcoins. Some of these people depends on what people they see as experienced people tell them to do. This thing is common among the female newbie investors. I have come across many and they practically don't know anything and there are people out there taking advantage of such newbies who are willing to invest on any coins that are shilled to them. As a newbie who doesn't know the difference between bitcoin and altcoins, and you are surrounded by altcoins investors, you will think that altcoins is all there is out there. At this point if they tell that newbie investor that the altcoin is the bitcoin the person will believe and invest without knowing the difference and be thinking he/she has invested in bitcoin. Not everyone out there is knowledgeable like me and you.
Of course awareness will come for them if they want to change their investment path to Bitcoin. I think whether novice investors are men or women they can distinguish which is shitcoin and which is Bitcoin. Beginner investors who invest in Bitcoin are safer than investors who invest in shitcoins.
I think it is better for those beginners to learn about bitcoin first before they make an investment. Yes, on social media there are quite a lot of Shitcoin influencers who promote shitcoin projects so that if they fall for their advances, you can be sure they will fall into investments that are very risky and will go to zero, such as Terra Luna and Ftx.
However, if novice investors choose Bitcoin then their chances will be greater in the future to gain profits, regardless of the purchases they make regularly or all at once. Believe me, everyone has made mistakes in their investments, but they make changes by learning from the mistakes they make.
