I never considered to become a bitcoin maxinalist. While it's true that it's the most safest asset to invest into crypto, I'm aiming for more profit potential so I hold larger percentage of altcoins than bitcoin in my portfolio.
Most of us enter the market for profit and that is our main goal. So being a bitcoin maximalist will only cause us to miss out on opportunities beyond bitcoin. Although the altcoin market may seem risky, there is no denying that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, and many altcoins today offer better returns than bitcoin.
I never intended to be a bitcoin maximalist or adhere to any maximalism.
There is no right or wrong ideology in investing. Each one of us have different risk appetite. Some investors are aggresive and willing to dive into high-risk, high reward cryptocurrencies while there are others who prefers safe investments and only want to invest into crypto that is proven to be trusted over the years.
As I said, investing is about making profit so whoever makes more money is right.
Altcoins is still needed for innovation of the blockchain technology. They are being created for different purposes like gaming, ai, rwa, and many more utilities.
Each coin has its own pros, cons, and use cases.
