Bitcoin cannot be the sole cryptocurrency, just as there are hundreds of FIAT currencies in the world. But thanks to the likes of greed, there will be no chance of ANY other crypto getting even close to the same level of adoption as Bitcoin... at least not for a long long long long time.
To the scammers, here's an old school style fuck you!

Altcoins are not dead. We saw a lot of Scams and fails and greedy Dev-Teams hyping with promises without delivering. But: The responsibility is also on Investor-Side! Many Investors buy and sell Coins without any research about the fundamentals or the Devs. And if there is a pearl in all the Shit, with hard working and honest Devs with skills and ideas, many Investors expecting huge profit in between some days, instead of giving time. I saw it many times that the community got impatient and damaged good projects with pressure on the Devs like Fudder and dumping on release. But quality needs time! That's a natural principle Crypto won't broke! In the first time of a project there should be base-building instead of hyping. Investing is about research, making decisions and to take the responsibility for the own decisions. That would lead more money in the good projects that are out there between all the Shitcoins and Scams. And I'm sure, exactly that will happen in the future. Investors (including myself) will learn the lessons and how we invest is making choices about how Crypto should be. All the Scammer and Pump-Groups had great times because of silly and greedy decisions of the Investor-sheeps.
My personal lessons are:
1. Deep research about the Devs. I read nearly every line and not just the "what", also the "how" (they communicate).
2. Invest in honesty and ability
3. If I see hyping I become careful
4. Fundamentals! I want to see a strong technical base to build on the innovations. The first months don't need to be glamorous.
5. Charts don't show the reality.
6. Patience! Quality needs time. Pressure on good Devs is damaging the own Investment.
If all Investors would invest more carefully, make more research, be more patient... Crypto will change. And we already see this dynamic. There are pearls out there and they will benefit of those changes.
