Diversifying one's investments is indeed an amazing strategy but just as you've rightly stated, filling one's bag with shitcoins isn't the best way to diversify, whoever tells you it is, is simply lying to you or is naive.
There are real life assets that also have long-term potentials just like bitcoin and you can consider those other options to diversify. Gold is an amazing option, it's been in the market, even long before bitcoin came into existence, and you can also consider it for its long-term potentials too just like bitcoin.
In China today, Silver is also a hot cake and quite a viable option for investment diversification.
There are so many of them to be considered.
Fuck gold and silver and the idea diversifying.
Figure out your bitcoin plan first, and then maybe if you have accumulated a decent amount of bitcoin, then maybe at some point it might become justifiable to diversify, but talking about diversification into gold and/or silver makes it sound like you are pumping inferior products and trying to compare them to bitcoin when bitcoin is likely in the ballpark of 1000x better then each of them...so no need to discuss any particulars of them or to pump them, especially here in this thread when we are talking about bitcoin.
I think you must've misunderstood my point...
I'm not trying to say diversifying from Bitcoin to other assets like gold and silver is an option, let alone being a better option.
No!
No!!
Noooo!!!All I'm trying to say is that, for those who have indeed accumulated a good number of Bitcoin and are considering diversification, rather than filling their bags with variety of shitcoins which are totally unsafe and highly risky, it would be a lot more preferable and justifiable to even consider investing on real life assets that guarantees the safety of one's finance, and have a good track record or longevity and long-term potentials, but that doesn't mean gold's potential could be compared to Bitcoin, because bitcoin has undoubtedly proven to be the most profitable and safest asset to invest in.
I understand your point, Mate. Everyone have different view, I buy your idea of diversifying but that will be valid when you have gone or have reached a certain stage of accumulation in Bitcoin (have enough stash of Bitcoin). It up to anyone to decide were he/she would like to invest because we cannot necessary build only our Bitcoin portfolio, there are still many areas, like me I have future intention of venturing into Oil and Gas, but for now heads down to build a solid Bitcoin portfolio first, this also relate to disposable income available, and your income generation in general.
Be consistent, focus on Bitcoin, and accumulate as much as you can with a strategic plan. Later on depending on how far you have gone in Bitcoin Investment, with readily disposable income you can then decide on your next line of action.
