I take investing on shitcoins to be memes mimicking on bitcoin because shitcoins are full of manipulations right from the developers to the project teams. They are literally a luring projects that speculates in the crypto ecosystem just to acquire values but all to no avail to profer investors any form of reliability like bitcoin does.
Bitcoin has proven itself back to back and still holding the kingship in the crypto industry and as a matter of fact that the market is uncertainty, the risk of Investing in bitcoin is only at it unpredictability while the shitcoins is project entirely surrounded with risks that you don't even know if the coin is still going to exists talk more of yielding good values.
Bitcoin was built by its founder with the purest of intentions to change the world and to solve the problem of money/create a better form of money. Those other cryptocurrencies that were created AFTER Bitcoin took advantage of the community's interest on crypto and took their Bitcoin away from them.
Those people who HODL shitcoins will debate with you to protect the value of their coins without actually understanding the underlying.
I agree with you and everyone in the space of every other coins exempt bitcoin is prioritized on making profits While the intention of bitcoin as the eyeopener
with the essence of decentralization are being neglected by many users which those Investing in the shit coins forget to consider if the coin they are Investing on could serve utility value in real life neither can it be considered a store of value because as investment is concerned, the asset should be expected to outcome a store of values of we must consider long term goal but unfortunately, those investing in the shitcoins are purely gambling and thought they are holding long term potential assets like that of bitcoin.
With Bitcoin, Satoshi's approach was definitely a more technical approach. Although he wanted to build decentralized network to send and receive transactions, I believe the potential monetary "value" of such a system was the least important in his mind.
He, as a problem solver or possibly a Computer Scientist - we don't actually know if he was one, wanted to find a solution to the Byzantine Generals' Problem. WHICH HE DID thanks to his implementation of Adam Back's HashCash, a Proof Of Work system invented to minimize spam in emails.
