It is very important for newbies to ask questions from experienced crypto holders and learn to carry out research before buying any cryptocurrency including Bitcoin. It is very necessary so that they will not make avoidable mistakes of not knowing the importance of securing their private keys and understanding that there are many scam projects in the crypto market. Although Bitcoin is safe to buy and hodl but altcoins requires both newbies and experienced people to research any altcoins that they want to buy, to avoid investing in shitcoins. Many new projects are being launched into the market so every investors needs to research first before buying so that they will not be bag holders of dead coins.
By mentioning altcoins as an option in this thread for any investor it makes one thing clear that you are not following with all the knowledge that have been shared. Altcoins are a waste of time and funds risking whether for short or long term holding because it's all shitcoins or rug pull projects that are out there in the market. And I wouldn't advise newbies to go near any altcoins as they plan to invest into crypto . Bitcoin remains the only best and safe coin to invest in and raise a good portfolio especially if you plan on DCAing.
