Although I am a new member of the forum, I have been familiar with crypto for a few years. I looked at the marketplace and found that the market fluctuated a lot, but I also saw many types of coins that have a market. Despite having many coins, how did this bitcoin become so popular? Why is this coin so popular? Why is it so popular?
Just like you said with the few years you have known crypto you should be able to distinguish between Bitcoin and alt coins but however Bitcoin is actually the first coin that was created before any other alt coins and in most cases it could be regarded as the father of all coins because it was through his existence other coins comes in play and is the most trusted coin that can never fail unlike every other alt coins, though I'm not saying that every other altcoins are bad but all I'm saying is that when it comes to trust and reliability Bitcoin is the best although it can go through ups and downs most times which can also be referred as fluctuations but with time it will move to the expected direction but in terms of alt coins sometimes when it drops to a certain level it ends up crashing leaving investors money hanging.
