I and a lot of people here frequently say that BTC is the better pick for the masses(which has always been true), but regardless, I'm usually only like 10% BTC overall most of the time because I like risk and I have been historically successful with picking altcoins. But this cycle? I have far fewer altcoin holdings and am more concentrated on BTC as the r/r has gotten worse with altcoins, and I think a lot of people will be disappointed — regardless if we generally continue to go up or not.
Will there still be altcoins that will achieve huge multiples? There will always be such altcoins.
Will I be right? Maybe, maybe not. Time will tell.
Year after year there are more and more altcoin choices, but this also makes us divide our portfolios more widely and the risk will no longer be as guaranteed as before in terms of returns. Some of the projects currently being built are only limited to games so that Bitcoin remains the main choice to be on a safe path in terms of risk. I agree that currently there are fewer altcoin holdings, it is difficult to choose, but if you want to go deeper and focus on seeking profits then we are already faced with the altcoin trend cycle of AI, Game, DeFi, Layer2 etc. Even that is not easy without in-depth research.
As a result, I, who don't really like risk, and decided to stay in Bitcoin in the long term. Leaving more of my finances in Bitcoin, because the results have been proven over the years to never disappoint.
