Bitcoin is not everything , you can still have a good portfolio without it.
Why add Bitcoin now? It maybe 2x this year from current price and will then spend the next 2 years after that going down in bear market.
Altcoins in the current top 100 or so give you a good chance of making very good money this year, Bitcoin doesn’t.
Yes, bitcoin is not the only investment on the market, nor is it the only coin worth investing in. But it is the safest coin in the market so we should have bitcoin in our portfolio, although it may not give us big returns like altcoins but it will ensure the safety of our portfolio. But it all depends on each person's taste and risk tolerance and remember that the higher the return, the higher the risk.
If you are willing to take risks and would rather gamble than invest, then there is nothing wrong with not adding bitcoin to your portfolio. But this is very risky so don't give altcoin investment advice indiscriminately to others.
It all depends how much money you start with when investing.
If you are someone with a lot of money who can invest an a few thousand each month then yes Bitcoin is worth it.
But if you are someone average with not much money then you need to take more risk.
What is the point of investing in Bitcoin with little money just to see a 1.5x or 2x return this year, it is not going to make a significant change to your life.
