The biggest difference is that you can’t get rich off bitcoin anymore so you invest in altcoins instead and hope you picked the right choice.

However very seldom do they work out. Some got lucky investing early in Ethereum or Solana or Ripple however how many don’t last even a single cycle.

Now this cycle it’s meme coins. You got thousands of meme coins released every day and maybe 1 works out a week. Why do people invest in it? Because if you pick the right token you can 100x instead of gaining like 25% like bitcoin.
