I don't know if it's possible to compare the sale of Bitcoins from old wallets (2010-2016) with the sale of some of the altcoins by the team that created it. But in my opinion, it's roughly the same thing, since these old wallets are anonymous and could belong to anyone, including Satoshi Nakamoto.

You can compare like this, you have freedom to do this but such comparison is non sense. Bitcoin was not premixed, it can not be minted arbitrarily and intentionally by founders or developers like altcoins.

I am also surprised to see your time of comparison is too long from 2010 to 2016 especially 2016 when Bitcoin was already well adopted and had many use cases for people globally. Altcoins are low quality and under Bitcoin not only in price but in many aspects. It was created by Satoshi Nakamoto but many years later, it has become a decentralized project and blockchain without existence and developmental contributions from Bitcoin founders.

With shitcoins, they die after their founders left and abandoned projects and communities, it is very big difference.

Yes, 2016-2017 was the time Japan corps paying people in bitcoin, literally.

It gained alot of influence at then and everyone started adopting bitcoin more.

and yes, absolutely, shitcoins and memecoins cannot be compared to old btc wallets, even if legacy which have large fees.
