Another set of people are those who think that bitcoin is too expensive and decide to go for shitcoins looking for whatever new shitcoins that will be listed in exchange due to deceitful words that the coin will be the next bitcoin or do better than bitcoin in future. They will be happy stacking shitcoins and end up regretting in the long run when there portfolio depreciates overtime.
This days shitcoins are the most common way newbies find their way to bitcoin infact, I wouldn't even ask anyone not to trade shitcoin or to be bitcoin specific because experience teaches the best, if they lose some amount of money they will surely gain experience to stick with bitcoin no matter how small the amount they have to invest. bitcoin is best, but at some point bitcoin should be the next after some good amount of lost, if you loss you learn the hard way.
Exactly because of the hype brought by those shitcoins many people got redirected to find better coin which is Bitcoin.
That's why I also Don't discourage people to learn from what they experience on Bitcoin since somehow this can help them to go grow more as investor. There's lots of things they can learn if they know lots of important things to consider and for sure that those shitcoins would bring some good lesson for them to became a more wise investor.
What they need to do is to upgrade their learnings and don't settle only on investing on Bitcoin since this is really bad decision to do.
