...but bitcoin is the right pick if you just want to leave it there and be able to sleep comfortably at night.
And yet, there are hundreds (or even thousands) of people that prefer not to buy a single satoshi and purchase and hold literal useless tokens with food names, dog names, memes and names of billionaries.
Have these people sacrificed their sweet sleep hours in favor of embracing greed or is it a case of credulity?
Because these people get in to get rich quickly in their minds. The desire for money and huge profit can vague one's rationality so these people who invested in shitcoins and other high-risk high reward cryptosystems are blinded by it.
For experienced people maybe this is something for sure but the problem is that there are so many people who are always fooled by things like this just because of the big lure of the lure pump that makes them continue to do things like this without knowing this is a scheme they employ to attract potential victim.
I personally prefer to be on some of the alts that are at the top of Coinmarketcap's list unless they are memecoins and stable there but for others like ETH, BNB or projects that are new to Matic and Cardano I follow them.
If someone gets attracted or fooled by big APY or empty promises, it's their fault. No one in their right mind should believe that APY over 10% can be sustainable. It will work for some time but in the end it will crash and burn. If people would invest in projects with a working product (at least minimum viable product), all those hyped memecoins and shitcoins would never exist. But everyone knows someone who got rich in crypto and they want it too.
Sadly people got crazily blind if they saw a 10000% APR stake offered. They jump in as soon as their eyes set on it. They will come to realize everything when they got busted because the project just gets rug pulled.
One must also keep in mind that Bitcoin was not created as a tool or scheme to make their creators a quick buck, there is a huge ideological and technological charge in Bitcoin. We could call Bitcoin the "main" cryptocurrency in the market because it's marketcap or because it was the first one, I personally believe it is because it is also the one people take more seriously as an investment.
Bitcoin is already considered the Main cryptocurrency because of its dominance in the market, the most secure network in the crypto industry, and the most popular not saying it is the first decentralized cryptocurrency.
