What quality does some other shitcoins have when they are all dependent on Bitcoin? All shitcoins are just shitcoins, there is no specialty to any one they are all the same and should be treated the same way, we don't have to get confused about this, the truth can be bitter 
If it was like that, there wouldn't be that much capital inside of them
Don't get distracted into believing that shitcoins have value merely by the fact that retards (including the USA president) and other seemingly smart and/or influential people, governments and/or institutions are pumping shitcoins (or certain stable coins). If you cannot understand and/or appreciate how bitcoin is different, you likely need to continue studying bitcoin first before giving any benefit of the doubt to various scams that are likely going to help you to lose money and/or prevent you from investing into bitcoin as much as you would have (or could have) otherwise accomplished if you had not been distracted.
A lot of popular people has created shitcoins in the past and it still didn't turn out good at the end, one thing we should understand is that the creation of shitcoins by popular people are done in other to enrich themselves and not to make a difference or make it great, shitcoins are shitcoins, a lot of things popular people who are creating shitcoins are busy accumulating Bitcoin and holding secretly so don't be deceived, a lot of people has lost there money in shitcoins and people should learn from people's past mistakes.
Yeah just like you said that he should continue studying bitcoin first before giving any benefit of the doubt to various scams that are likely going to help you to lose money, I think he should also go through the history of Bitcoin and also the history of various past shitcoins that will give him much insight on the right direction to follow, shitcoins are been used to gamble the Lucky one's gain and wins and the rest loses, shitcoins should be avoided in other to prevent losing money and destroying your financial status.
