That is why those who have followed the Bitcoin journey for a long time suggest that new people invest in Bitcoin. They can use the DCA method to start investing and routinely buying Bitcoin for some terms. They can buy with their discretionary income or free money that they don't use for anything.
But they must figure out how much allocation money they can so that it will not disrupt their needs. But it is not a problem if people still want to invest in other coins. They are free to do that, like you, who invest in other coins or participate in some projects to claim the rewards.
We have different reasons why we entered crypto world. But we should use Bitcoin as the main investment for long term. You can consider to use altcoins or tokens as your secondary investment for the short or medium term.
