I never knew the real money was in altcoins and shitcoins. Bitcoin is simply for rich investors. If you're just starting out in cryptocurrency investing, it's best to ignore Bitcoin and the hype it receives on this forum. The secret to making any money from crypto is NOT bitcoin. Research, test, and see for yourself.
If it's not bitcoin, then the more it shouldn't be altcoins or shitcoins because majority of them only fall as scams. Yes, they're quite cheap compared to bitcoin but you can't guarantee as well whether you are investing on the right altcoins or not, otherwise you are only increasing its risk of losing your capital, simply because you wasted on some worthless altcoins than sticking to bitcoin itself and hold it longer.
