The reason I prefer Bitcoin is because of it's usefulness, having some small part of BTC can give you a easy future. Having some BTC can help you achieve a stress-free life compared to someone who ia running the rat race until the very end.
Bitcoin is truly the most useful and evident proven asset in the Blockchain space but for a newbie who is just starting out with little capital I doubt there will be any meaningful future the coin will offer except they are consistent in accumulating Bitcoin at different intervals. Any profit made from investing in a small fraction will just give a profit that will be enough to solve immediate problems.
Benefiting big on a long run from Bitcoin the new investor must be aggressively buying. The value only makes sense to the investor as the number of coins keep increasing. An easy future only comes with how many bitcoin one owns. The more Bitcoin we have in our wallets the easier the future becomes.
