According to CoinGecko, there are over 2.5 million cryptocurrencies (read more here: https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/how-many-cryptocurrencies-are-there).

How many cryptocurrencies failed, dead?
How many Bitcoin forks are dead?

Then you will see more risk from altcoins (Bitcoin forks are altcoins too) and make your investment decisions more carefully and have more fear about altcoins, then avoid altcoins for your portfolio in long term.

Dead Coins: Over 50% of Cryptocurrencies Have Failed
How many Bitcoin forks are there?

Yes, there have been thousands of failed, scam and useless altcoins but I don't think we should avoid all altcoins. I have no objection to someone investing only in bitcoin because it is the safest currency on the market. But let me ask, if we only talk about profits, what about altcoins like ETH, Link, Near, Solana...? If I remember correctly, ETH was created in 2013 and it is still growing bigger every day until now, the initial investors in it are making huge profits. Similarly, solana was expected to die when FTX collapsed but look at what it has done over the past year from $13 and it is trading above $140.
