When it comes to comparing Bitcoin and Shitcoins we need to have a look at parameters like scarcity. Only Bitcoin is really scarce, Shitcoins can be launched over and over again, even when a single Shitcoin has a max supply. Bitcoin is limited to only 21M coins and no Shitcoin can be scarcer.
So, in terms of scarcity, Bitcoin is king.
Not only in terms of scarcity; Bitcoin will remain the king because it leads the market despite its limited supply.So, in terms of scarcity, Bitcoin is king.
Any other coin are behind Bitcoin, they are learning from Bitcoin and they are not to be fully trusted because they centralized and can be manipulated at any time, these coins can go down anytime as far as crypto is concern, and you can not invest in such coins and have rest of mind, you will have to always check your portfolio to be sure if everything is right, while Bitcoin can be there without checking at all.
Take 2022 bear market as example where all coins including Bitcoin dumped, now people that were wise and invested in Bitcoin then are already in huge profit because they have more profit than any other person that invested in altcoins. BTC reaches another all time high, while none of these coins has achieved its previous all time high, they are just struggling to recover while a Bitcoin market price is also affecting their movement which means they can’t do without BTC.
