We should stay away from any crypto project we don't know, as been said already, bitcoin is the coin one should first consider before thinking on going for any other
True, Bitcoin should the priority. But it doesn't mean we must feel afraid on crypto projects. There are still some crypto projects that can be successful although many of them are just shit projects.
I’m not saying that you shouldn’t invest in other altcoins but only the top ones. I was only talking about different levels of risk. If you have the money and you are willing to take such a risk, then go on with it. I was only emphasizing that it’s more risky when you’ve left Bitcoin and the top altcoins.
I agree if it is better to invest in top altcoins only. Moreover if we don't have good ability in analysis, it is better to choose safe altcoins. It is true that top altcoins also have the risks but it must be lower than random altcoins. New altcoins, shitcoins, and meme coins are the riskiest altcoins. We are better to avoid these type of altcoins if we are not experienced enough.
By the way, if there is still a lot money in our pocket, it is much better to buy in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the most recommended coin for investment, both for a short and long term holding. Even top companies in the world, they choose Bitcoin as their investment.
