Bitcoin investment is optional. If a person feels that Bitcoin is not the right asset to invest in then he/she can go ahead to invest in the asset they are comfortable with. Everyone has the right to choose what to invest in but one thing I know shitcoins are terrible to invest in. Anyone thinking of investing in them only wants the little profit they can get now and they don't know the meaning of investment in the first place.
I think we see more new investors who are only concerned about short profits. That is why a lot of them are complaining about the price of Bitcoin when it fluctuation. Practicing buying the dip and holding for long term is easy peazy.
Yes, Bitcoin is optional, and nobody is forcing anyone to invest in Bitcoin. But the truth is that Bitcoin is the most secure coin, and no other coin can compare with it in terms of investment. That is the reason why this thread was created: to guide people on methods of accumulating more Bitcoin without panicking about their Bitcoin investments.
I believe many people have gained from this thread and have accumulated a certain amount of Bitcoin with minimal stress. They have continued to hold onto their Bitcoin investments for a long period of time. In fact, this has encouraged me more on how I can hold my Bitcoin investments without panic and given me more hope about continuing to accumulate more Bitcoin.
In short, any newbie that visits this thread will likely not be confused or persuaded to invest in any altcoins, because they will know that altcoins are not for long-term investment and are more about gambling.
