I agree with you. There's nothing wrong with those who leverage altcoins to profit, as that's also part of the market. Especially if they've been in the crypto space for a while and understand when to capitalize on an altcoin. When someone invests in altcoins, they already know the consequences.
On the other hand, those who invest in altcoins largely hold their portfolio in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a good asset, with fundamentals that have no doubt about its future. However, not all altcoins are trash some can be leveraged to profit. Losses in altcoins are part of the risk they take. However, my advice for beginners is to consider Bitcoin as your future asset and avoid all altcoins.
As a bitcoin investor, if you haven't have a comfortable size of bitcoin in your portfolio dont invest in shitcoins. The only time you can rely on shitcoins to get quick profits from time to time, either to cover some expenses or to fuel your bitcoin investment more is when you have accumulated bitcoin and reached your target. The possibility of getting profit in shitcoins is low, because they can dump at anytime. They are meant to be where we can diversify into when we have completely reached our goal. It shouldn't be something we can rely on like we do with bitcoins.
