Theres just no getting around the fact that all investing and trading carries some level of risk.  Doesnt matter if we are talking stocks, real estate, or crypto - risk is always there.  But when you stack up Bitcoin against memecoins as profit-making opportunities, you are really looking at two very different philosophies around managing that risk. 

On one hand you have Bitcoin. It tends to be less volatile than other coins.  More established and  some could even call it boring compared to hot memecoins making big promises. 

And on the other hand, youhave those red-hot memecoins.  Lots of hype, lots of peaks and valleys, lots of potential for big wins (and big losses).  A very different approach to risk than the relatively safe Bitcoin.   

Now as for whats best for you and your risk tolerance? Id say you are in the best position to make that call.  You have already weighed some of the key factors yourself.  Just trust your judgment on what makes sense for your situation.
