The reason why most person like to invest in shitcoin instead bitcoin is because of greed.
Most of them are just always looking for quick money, and they believe they can’t get that from bitcoin, they can only get that kind of money from shitcoins, which at the end most of them will end up losing. Just few set of people are always lucky when they invest in shitcoin, and don’t be surprise that most of them will end up losing most of those money at the end maybe after investing in another coin.
If you are looking for good reward, then you should be prepared to hold bitcoin for long term, you might not really be making profit if you decide to hold for short time, don’t be surprise you might even be selling at loss, because after buying bitcoin price might go down, and might not really recover fast, so most people are always avoiding bitcoin because they don’t want to hold for long time.
Those that are involved in shitcoins are not supposed to also refer to themselves as investors likewise those that gamble bitcoin too. There are some areas that should be looked into; firstly almost everyone involved in cryptocurrency investments/Trading were introduced into it by someone else. This first stage of introduction is very important to how the person would develop in the future even though a person can be introduced well and later decide to get greedy of get shitty. Newbies coming into cryptocurrencies should be allowed to understand that focusing their energy on bitcoin is the ultimate assurance to the safety of their money and also teach them that whatever happens in shitcoins is a noise and would always remain a noise no matter how juicy it would appear.
Secondly, I believe that this forum members are enough to create a change and influence the wider bitcoin market. Some people are bitcoin traders today because they were introduced into bitcoin by bitcoin gamblers who believes in quick money and this has ruined a lot of wallets. Newbies that joined bitcoin investment through a bitcoin investor look more determined always and focus more on buying and HODLing because they believe in the future of bitcoin. Shitcoins are like scam projects that would always end in tears and bitcoin gambling too is not the best because it could make you leave bitcoin investment completely after running several losses due to selling to buy back due to bitcoin volatility.

Everyone should be responsible for their own actions regarding anything, so when it comes to believing in something, they should also consider it more deeply within themselves. I also see that interest in Bitcoin is currently increasing and continues to grow, so most people are no longer so focused on shitcoins. Even if some people still focus on shitcoins, it's probably only a temporary fixation before they forget about it for a long time after they buy Bitcoin and hold it for the long term.
Yeah sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion about what they do with their money even if it is stupid. But one thing about these people is that when the make the wrong choices and invest in shit coins and loose their funds, they blame the one that introduced them into bitcoin investment forgetting that they chose the path for themselves. They either learn the hard way after loosing their funds to shitcoins and then turn to take solace in bitcoin. Others who can not bear the losses leaves crypto market completely not even willing to invest in bitcoin anymore. This is why it is advisable to join your voice to correct a wrong choice even though you cannot force anyone to buy every idea you bring up.
As for inspiration from people who have succeeded with Bitcoin, these are just examples that we can look at carefully to encourage ourselves to stay motivated in implementing our Bitcoin investment plans. Because following in the footsteps of people who have already succeeded is clearly not going to be easy because they might have things that we don't have yet, so we ourselves will definitely have obstacles in following in their footsteps, even though just seeing how they invest in Bitcoin is clearly possible and not at all wrong.
It is not bad to have role models in whatever area you find yourself no matter your area of interest. Every Human has his source of inspiration too. Bitcoin investment is one aspect of investment that focuses on Individual's ability to make decisions rightly and keep to it. Some people have fallen to procrastination or short term investment but reading about some individuals either in this forum or in the wider community who have painstakingly kept to their investment decisions can be a strength to the person's willpower. Let say that a person is not composed about his choice of buying bitcoin to hold, if he eventually stumbles on Michael saylor's continuous accumulation strategy, he could be moved to give it a try and hold for as long as his role models (Michael saylor) holds. This is where role models play a part in one's decision and serves as an inspiration. This is one of the basic
ROLES OF INFLUENCERS to bitcoin development and bitcoin investors. Even among this forum too, I have my own inspirations too from some posts I read here from some mates that seem more practical. I have once read a post made by @Jayjuangee about how he wasn't being consistent with his investment in the year 2015 but another point I noted from the post was him clearly stating that "Even though he got distracted from buying more bitcoin, he never sold all or part of the one he had" as if that time". This is enough inspiration to whoever is willing or having decision making problem because you will then understand that even when you are unable to buy bitcoin due to some several reasons beyond your control, you should also decide not to sell off the one you already accumulated and fight to safeguard your bitcoin stash for the future and probably until you get back to your investment strategy.
