Sometimes the problem with investors not investing in bitcoin because they missed out the previous years when bitcoin was a lot cheaper is actually the the absolute reason why most people don't go into the market. I spoke to a trader who happens to be a friend and after our long discussion he talked about forex and later switched to crypto trading, at the end he asked me what crypto I'm I Interested in for the next alt season, and I said non because I'll be focused on bitcoin only and criticized bitcoin of not going to be profitable anymore nor will I get to see any 2x in the coming bullish season, then I told him I wasn't interested in short term market trade but would hold for probably a decade. So from our discussion I got to find out that most person are avoiding bitcoin because it is not as volatile as shitcoins within a small duration of time.

When you compare Bitcoin's potential to the fleeting, often unsustainable hype around altcoins, it's clear that Bitcoin is designed to be a long term store of value and a hedge against inflation and we have by experience The volatility in altcoins can indeed be addictive

It’s interesting how many people don’t see that
