There's an extent I was going through this..., my friend who usually invest in Bitcoin told me to stop putting myself in unnecessary pressure that I should start investing in Bitcoin and I saw the potential of Bitcoin and i also realized that if I should investment in Bitcoin i wouldn't disturb myself the way i would disturb myself in buying and trading of shitcoin. Initially what makes me venture into trading and buying of shitcoin was impatient.
Actually, their are three things that mostly makes an investor invest in alt coin or shit coin and they are;
Misinformation
Uninformation
Greed
*Most of these investors that invested in alt and shit coin did it due to the fact that they were misinformed about it entirely, they actually don't know that alt and shit coin fall more than they rise.
*While the uninformed one's are just ignorant of everything, they just invest blindly in the wrong asset, not knowing that it's only Bitcoin that is reliable.
* Then the greedy investors are the most stupid of them all, because they knows all the danger and all pertaining to alt and shit coin, but they still went ahead due to greed for 10x to 20x, so what am trying to say is that lack of right knowledge and greed are what makes most investors to even think of investing in alt and shit coin, if not, I believe that majority of all investors out there believes and knows that Bitcoin is the only reliable asset in this crypto space.
