.....However, I will not agree with you on the aspect that Bitcoin is not the only asset to invest in unless you add more clarifications to that statement because it is sounding as if you are supporting the idea of investing in shitcoins. There are other assets like you said but they are generally shitcoins that have so much risks attached to them. If we allow the idea that there are other assets to thrive, then it could be a motivation for people to start looking for other alternatives and this will make them end up investing in shitcoins and at the end lose their money. Bitcoin is just enough for anyone willing to invest for the future, so our efforts should be on how to buy and hold Bitcoin and nothing else.
I would suggest that newbies do not waste time, energy and/or money on shitcoins, and that they try to figure out and prioritize bitcoin  first,  including that if they are not able to help themselves in regards to looking into shitcoins, then they should not invest any more than 10% of their time, energy and/or value into shitcoins as compared to how much they are investing into bitcoin.
Even old investors might still run into problems if they get too comfortable with investing in shitcoins. You will agree with me that there this confidence that subtly creeps in when someone do something and succeed once or twice. With shitcoins, it could be a trap for even experienced investors who may end up with the illusion that shitcoins is where the money is even though some later end up getting poorer with time as they continue to jump from one shitcoin to the other. If you are active in some of the social media, you will see some self acclaimed experts who knows the shitcoins that will pump and bla bla bla, those are not newbies but old investors who are just toeing the wrong path. My point is that both newbies and old investors should focus more on Bitcoin because overtime Bitcoin will actually make one richer and more comfortable and the risk of loosing ones money is very small with Bitcoin, if not completely absent.


Those who invest in Shitcoin, whether new or old, have a lot of greed. It doesn't matter whether the holder is new or old, the point is that if we target Bitcoin, which coin we are targeting, then our goal will be successful. And if we invest in Shitcoins with the aim of making more profit, then we can lose all our money, you can be sure that investors in Shitcoin can never be successful.
 But those who have invested in Bitcoin, whether it is a small amount or a large amount, if the investment is long-term, then their success will be guaranteed, because Bitcoin is the only trusted coin. If you invest in Bitcoin, no matter how much money you invest, you can be successful and earn more benefits.


Success in Bitcoin is not guaranteed and the reason why we are advised that when we invest, it should be from our discretionary income because Bitcoin is not risk free so you shouldn't sound like it is risk free so will not end up misleading people in to thinking that Bitcoin is risk free with your expression we are only encouraging ourselves to put in good investment practices and not to say that success in Bitcoin investment is guaranteed, even though the risk can not be compared to that of the shit coins.
Even though bitcoin investment is not like any other investments where you can lose your money easily, I agree with you that success is not guaranteed in bitcoin investment, but investors are certain they will not lose all their money in bitcoin investment if they don't sell their bitcoin out of panic or fear. Since bitcoin investment is not risk-free, the best way to invest in bitcoin without having problems in sorting your daily expenses and becoming successful with your bitcoin investment is when you invest in bitcoin with your discretionary income or when you use the money you will not need for 4-10 years or more to invest in bitcoin so that you will not depend on your bitcoin investment to survive.

I don't think we are suppose to be talking about Bitcoin investment been guarantee or not because to me it doesn't make any sense though it is good to be realistic but how will one be talking about what they are investing into in such way. Even if it is not guarantee like you guys said it shouldn't be something you guys will be emphasizing on like this because this information can mislead or change newbie mindset towards Bitcoin investment because if we say it is not guarantee then what is now the difference between Bitcoin investment and trading since they both are not guarantee so I will advise we don't use this language or word here because of the effect it will have on someone who is yet to know what Bitcoin is all about.
Bitcoin investment is not guaranteed because nobody knows what will happen in future. It's good you tell people the fact of what they're investing into so that they can invest with caution and with the mindset that anything can happen. Why they do say that it's not guarantee so that you don't use all your life savings to invest in bitcoin hoping for big profits, but invest only with an amount of money that you can afford to lose overtime, so that if the price goes against you in the future, losing 100% of your bitcoin portfolio, you wouldn't lose hope and become frustrated.


Bitcoin price is not a guaranteed to go up in future or without risks even if  we know that the chance of bitcoin price moving uptrend overtime is higher than down trend. We cannot use past even to tell the future outcome. Buy and grow your bitcoin investment portfolio overtime with consistent and persistent and hope for the best future of bitcoin. This is why we must have over sources of income which we must always use as an alternative and not your bitcoin investment in future.

Trading is not an investment and more risky than bitcoin.
